Do you have her? What do you think of her? Share some more pics!


I don't have her. I'm pretty sure I've left a few at thrift shops over the years.

Have and want a version, I have her in G3.5 form, and also Newborn Cutie form, but I don't have a normal G3 of her yet, which is a shame as she's my favorite Core 7. I do have her McDonald's toy and Busy Book figure though.

I've got a few. I've got the G3.5 twice as fancy version, the basic Core 7 version with tinsel and glitter on her face and cutie mark, and I just bought the version with the paint splotches on her side. I also have the McDonald's toy.

Have her. I don't like her very much tough. She is okay I suppose. I especially dislike her pose.

I don't care for her.  The original Toola Roola had the Celtic 'spiral of life' as her symbol, and her name was a reference to the song Toora Loora Loora.  ("Toora loora loora, that's an Irish lullaby."

Core 7 Toola Roola doesn't have the Celtic symbol and without that her name just sounds like gibberish instead of a reference.  Her color scheme, while nice, is a direct rip from G3 Rarity.  And *snaps fingers sassily* Rarity wore it better, girl!

The art-themed version is new to me, she's cute but I'm not head-over-heels with her. The Celtic version is a bit more up my alley, being a raging folkie 'n' all. :lol:

She's cute, I don't have her yet. I don't have a strong opinion on her really. I enjoy how she was drawn in G3.5.

This is the pony I also think of when I think of Toola Roola. I don't like the core 7 version at all. It looks thrown together and all over the place. I agree that the Celtic symbol was a nice touch on the original, and her colour scheme worked well. I am pretty sure I have the original version of Toola that LM pictured here, but not any of her later clonespawn.

I think I have her... somewhere... *shrug* I do like her, her colors are very nice. I did have her McDs pony as a wee child.

makes me sad to see not too many here care much for poor Toola.

Well... she is a hunk of plastic with hair so at least she isn't hurt by that?

When more people have or want a version then not?

Have her somewhere!  Love her colours, but I don't understand why they gave her the same name as a pony they'd already released?  Surely they could have come up with half a dozen arty themed names that would have been more fitting than recycling another pony's name?

it's the ones that do have her that I see are saying don't have 'strong feelings' or 'don't care for her'. They're every be entitled to their opinions, don't get me wrong, but as a big fan of her, it makes me a bit sad. ;_;

I love this version. :) I didn't know this one existed as I've only seen the Core 7 art themed version.

I have a 25 anniversary toola roola. She’s not my favourite, but I do love an art themed pony. But I do like the original one, and since my name comes from old Irish, I like the backstory of her name a bit more than I probably should. I’m glad to know they didn’t just put a few babies in a room and record what they said, and name ponies after that.

I have the G3 'newer' version, she came with painting set accessories which are really cute. But I do prefer the 'original' pony.

I have g3.5 Toola Roola but would much rather have her first g3 version.

Best description of so many G3 names. ANd some G1 and G4. Seriously.

I want the inspirational words version one really bad. I have 3 of the others :) She's really cute, I prefer her colours to OG toola, but I like the old one's symbol better ^^'

Had and loved the original version of her with the Celtic symbol. Once that changed I grew annoyed that they did so I stopped any further addition of her to my herd.

Missed the poll, but I have a few Toolas.. let's see.. Dollymix, Easter ver (? w/ gradient down one leg), Busy Book and a Ponyville. :B She's alright but I definitely prefer the original Toola Roola, I wish they hadn't reused her name..
