Who did you unexpectedly fall for...

TE Galaxy. Actually, all the TEs used to freak me out, but after I restored and cleaned my Galaxy, I fell in absolute love with her. She is now my favorite pony and because of her, I want to continue buying TEs.

Perfume PUffs. At first I didn't care for the look of the hair, then I saw and *touched* one in person... Now I have three of the G1s (that's all--don't care for the colors of the other ones) and one custom "Perfume Puff Sweet Suds" G4. I love to pick one up and gently wrap my hand around the puffery, then let it spring back into shape.

So much love for the Perfume Puffs now! I was the same, thought they were creepy with weird hair but I love mine now!

[StarDragon]

So soft ponies for me, I didn't like the flocking and thought they would be the last sets I would complete... but when I found a bag of them while thrifting I totally fell in love =)

Perfume Puffs.  I thought they were dumb-looking.  But then I met up with OL1 for the first time and she had one with her.  The hair was so soft and fluffy, I couldn't stop petting it.  And then I decided I needed Red Roses for my yellow/pink army, so I tracked her down and totally fell in love.  She is just beautiful!

It was the G4 ponies for me. For the last 2 and half years I really did not like them. I did look at the time to time. And now that is most of my collection......LOL

[Marlin]

I'm (almost shamefully) jumping on the perfume puff bandwagon here....  Totally converted when I got my Sweet Lily. Before that, I thought they looked utterly ridiculous, and never, ever thought I'd go there!

I also grew a soft spot for the BnG's, again... I didn't really like them. Then I got Pretty Vision in a lot and she changed my mind completely. I'm now working on completing the princess BnG set.

Teeny Tiny Babies.  I really didn't like them when I first started collecting and then one day I got one in a thrift store bag and my opinion of them changed after I found that one.  I was surprised at how cute they looked in person.  Also unicorns. I typically don't like unicorns.  Then I finally started buying some and now I don't really dislike them anymore, but I am still much more fond of pegasus ponies.

g3s and collector pose ponies I use to hate them but now love them

[blonde2themax]

It would definitely be G4's for me.  In the beginning I thought they looked like ferrets and not ponies.  Eventually, seeing them pop up so often I checked them out and I was in love...Oh the horror !

[Sunset]

G4 in general.  I wasn't keeping up with the online community when they came out, so the first time I saw them was just happening to pass by them in the store.  It was a bit of a shock.  But after a while they started to grow on me.

Also, I'm not particularly a fan of pink ponies but G1 Whizzer and G3 Forsythia are two pink ponies that I just really like for some reason.

[NoPonySpecial]

Yellow ponies. Not that I had anything against them, but yellow has always been my least favorite color. It never appealed to me. But when I went over my list of the ponies I thought were the prettiest, for some reason most of them were yellow. It was so weird! Maybe it's because two of my childhood favorites were my yellow fakie and Lemondrop?  Well, "somehow", even though I said the only bigger ponies I'd collect would be childhood ones, I ended up with Dancing Butterflies and Rosedust, and even a G3 Meadowbrook, and I'm on the lookout for Bubbles and maybe Bumblesweet... Now I have to admit a gruding respect for the color yellow because it has produced so many glorious ponies.

[Sugar]

G3s.  I saw them as a feeble attempt to recapture the magic that was the original MLPs, and turned my nose up at them every time I saw them (which, in retrospect, seemed to be everywhere... the ponies wanted me back! ).  Then while I was cleaning, I found the six McHenna Ponies my dad had gotten me as a lark when they were issued.  I had just gotten back into the idea of collecting again, and I had to find out more about these pretty darlings.  A few websites later, I was hooked, and now I me my G3s!  And all the other gens, including the poor maligned G3.5s, though they aren't exactly my favourites... yet...

[GustyFox]

It's unbelievable but G2 Ivy suddenly became a top pony for me, for a long while.

G2,G3 and G4
i swore only early G1's well that went out the window, once you have the pony in your hands you soon change your mind
