Who's your fave? G3 2003 Winter Ponies!
« on: February 02, 2025, 04:45:34 PM »
Hi again! It's been a couple weeks...I can't tell if this counts as spam :( Uh, let me know I guess? If it's too much or too often. I just like to yap about ponies haha...

Well, I decided on trying to continue the 2003 polls but, I just couldn't bring myself to making a "Free Media/Charming Birthday" Poll. We've just seen all those ponies. So, this one feels a little out of season but uh, it's still Winter. Technically! These ponies come with fashion accessories, a brush..uhh.. a pamphlet like all other ponies. I suppose the friendship charms where phased out quickly? They have multicolor manes like the Rainbow Celebration line. All of these are Target exclusive.

CANDY CANE just loves the holidays, because her favorite thing in the world is to give presents to all her friends. And her gifts are always extra-special because she makes them all herself!
- Wrap my presents with pretty ribbons and bows
- Count the icicles on every house I walk by!
- Sing songs with Snowflake™

Whenever it starts to snow, MITTENS has a winter party! She and her friends build snowmen, ski through the woods and make snow angels. Then everyone goes inside to warm up by the fireplace and toast marshmallows!

- Knit a new scarf for my pal Candy Cane™
- Watch a favorite old movie
- Shop for a new bracelet at the jewelry store

All winter long, you can be sure to find SNOWFLAKE in her favorite place - the skating pond! After she practices her fancy flips and jumps, she gives lessons to the younger ponies, so they can put on an ice show for their friends!

- Practice my double pony flip with a half twist!
- Meet Mittens™ at the cafe for some hot chocolate
- Paint pictures to give to my friends

I've been neglecting to note that my "stock" style images of ponies have been coming from mlpmerch.com! So thanks mlpmerch! I'll try to credit them as well from now on.

This set is iconic to me, although, much less so than the 2004 G3 Winter set or Snow'el II. There's just something so pretty about a dressed up pony themed around something for me. Maybe the gimmick is working, maybe I'm just a sucker for the gimmick. Oh jesus christ 4.99 at release, what happened to that price?

My bet is on Snowflake, who doesn't like a blue pony with a pretty mane? I like this set though, as a whole. I could see if someone thought this was a totally lazy set though.

Snowflake.  When I think winter, I think icy blues and whites. Not generic pink.

I agree Snowflake is a perfect winter pony, but I'm more of a Christmas fan than I am a winter one, so my vote goes toward Candy Cane. :biggrin: Mistletoe has always been my favourite Christmas pony, but Candy Cane has been inching her way into my heart... the BRIGHT RED is incredible!

Mittens is not a bad pony, kind of nostalgic. She reminds me of girls' winter clothes I had in the early 2000s.

I feel very similarly! That red is great. I don't particularly feel strong about Mittens, but I think she would look really great with the other winter pink ponies.

 ^.^ Snowflake definitely took the cake for me too

Snowflake but Candy Cane is pretty too.  Mittens should have been a different colour, they were already exhausting this certain colour of pink by this point.

Snowflake, though I've never owned her. My sister and I split most of the sets between us, and so Snowflake belongs to her :)

I don't have any of these winter ponies, but my pick would be Snowflake too. I also love Candy Cane for her cheerful Christmas colours! It was a bit difficult to decide between the two.

Snowflake without a doubt; I'm a sucker for blue Ponies!!! Candy Cane is lovely too.

Mittens 2003, how can you be called Mittens, wear mittens, & yet have NO mittens in your symbol???
My Mascots (so far): Twisty Tail, G2 Trixiebelle, Starcatcher, Twilight Sparkle. All variants & pictures of these are appreciated. Piccies courtesy of Griffin, Blumiere, Littlebabyribbon, & Starscout

Oh how I wonder this same thing...

Snowflake but Candy Cane is pretty too.  Mittens should have been a different colour, they were already exhausting this certain colour of pink by this point.

I want to disagree but...They used pink so often in 2003. I suppose they make ponies that sell though, considering how many more pink ponies we got!

I don't actually own any of these myself either, but would love to pick one of each up eventually.
