Have had quite a few of her non-nirvana version. Really like her Brazil counterpart!

I like her, though her pose isn't my favorite - I think she would look great in Lofty or Whizzer's pose.  Love her colors and the cute butterflies.  I'm currently working on a g4 custom of her.

I'm not a fan of this pose, either. I'd love to see your g4 custom of her when you're done...I hope you post a pic!

I used to have her. Or rather, my sister did, but since all the childhood ponies we had are all in my possession now, I consider them mine. She was not among the ones that were recovered from a flood, unfortunately.

Dancing Butterflies was 1 of the 3 TAF I had as a child from this set.   I adore her.

It's a small army but I have three or four of them. :/

She was one of my childhood TAF (we called them Party) Ponies. I still have that one, of course.
I have my friend's childhood DB as well (mine had curly hair originally, although it's a bit rough now. Hers had perfectly straight hair from new).
I have at least one that came with her backcard. UK card obviously. I kept her and her accessories.

And I have a Brazilian one. So four?

Plus baby :D

I'd love one with the reverse butterfly colours but...I only know that one exists :/

As a bonus here's her UK story.

I nicknamed her Dabu, because it's a long name otherwise ;)

Have the regular one & her baby, also used to have her when younger. Still one of my faves & one of the most beautiful Ponies imo. Those not a fan of her pose, check out the Brazilian one, who comes in Surprise's pose.

I recently bought her. She's beautiful, I love her symbols and pose. I still need her baby though.  :)

I used to think she was pretty bland, but I think yellow monochrome ponies are becoming one of my favorite color combinations, so I've warmed up to her quite a bit! I got an upgrade a few months ago, my other one had some strange pink stain on her wing.

Tailrustedtealeaf, that is a really lovely photo! :heart:
This pony is on my want list; not too fussy about which version, as they're all beautiful. Although in an alternate reality, if there was a Wonderful Pony Godmother who could magic ponies from the ether, I would absolutely love to have her Brazilian version.

I have her. Despite being the yellow pony person and a monotone pony fan, she's very "eh". The pose doesn't help. This pose is one of the worst in all of MLP, imo. It's nice in concept but it tips over too easily and the hair covers up the symbol and just about all of the pony's display side, making it hard to photograph.

I'd share a picture of mine, but she has some bright pink spots on her mouth. Cold sore pony... :lookround:

Dancing Butterflies and the Buddleia. Perfect combination :) The little flutterbies have been all over ours this year.

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, biut I always loved her pose as a kid. It fitted the name and the grace of her as a dancer, plus a little bit shy.

I have always loved this pony.  I don't care for the pose, but in this case, I think it really works.

I have the curly hair version and the straighter hair version. I also have her baby.  DB was one of the first ponies I got when I started collecting almost 20 years ago now.  I love her colors and her pose, however, sometimes they have a hard time standing upright.  They like to lean against each other for support.

I have an unintentionally army.  She shows up in lots frequently.

DB, I think I have her in storage somewhere...

Her pose is not my favourite but she does look very sweet  :)

I just disscovered this pony, coincidentally! I'm newer to collecting G1 and I saw her online and knew she had to be my first, now I have one on the way to me lol. I just love her pose and the color scheme, and all the little butterflies!

She's on my wishlist (any version)! Such a pretty pony. :heart: I love TAF ponies in general and for some reason, most of them have eluded me... I've been focusing on other sets and the TAFs are always popular, which means higher prices...

She's really cute, actually! I used to have her, I think the one I had was pretty dirty, she needed a clean!

I would love to get her baby some day :)

I have her! She came as one of my thrifts that I found in the wild.

Had her a few times in the past. She is very pretty!
