I have her. She seems to be one of the more common members of the set on the second hand market. Which is ironic because when I was a kid I could never find her in stores. I bought Sand Digger instead (who is now much more difficult to find O.o go figure!)

I don't have her yet.  Honestly am not a huge fan of this set, even a child I remember looking at her symbols with the yellow stars and thinking of planets rather than beach balls.  However, in the last few years I've found them a bit more appealing than previously.  Will get her eventually. 

Still think her symbols look more like planets in space though  :P

I'll pass. I don't really like her. She's my least favorite of the set.

I've got her! She's not my favorite out of the set, but she's an interesting shade of purple.

I'm in two minds about her. The colour-changing hair on the Sunshine ponies is really nice and she's a very cute pony, but I've never been able to decide whether I really want her or not. If I were to see her in person, then I'd have a better idea.

I have her, but her hair is a total frizzy mess :P

I honestly think if you saw her in real life you might do an ooooh. Her dark purple body is uniquely lovely. The better her condition, honestly the more her "look" works. I used to have not much love for her, but I also had two before my pictured that had severely scraped up symbols and complete frizzed out brillo puff hair.

I'm surprised people are so meh. I mean, it's fine, it's just that, as a kid, she was the one I really wanted xD.

Although I have to admit I do love Sand Digger more now. Her colouring is more unique.

I love her, I have a really dark one. Her hair was quite damaged so I gave her braids. I think she's a character. In my herd she hangs around with Tootie Tales and de-flocked Angel. They are all poses on the large side and they look great together. I thought her symbols could be sea urchins.

Have her! Mine has weird vinyl... the texture and look is off. Got her at Goodwill about half a year ago :)

I have two.  One moc and another who is a rescue who has been horribly disfigured with marker.

I love Beachball. :lovey: I think she one of those ponies that you have to see in person to really fall in love with her. I had no interested in Beachball until I got one for a friend. She was so pretty in person that I almost didn't send Beachball to her new home

This year a friend was selling her ponies and one of those ponies was Beachball. When I saw she was for sale I agreed to buy her from my friend. 

Here's a pic of mine. :)

Still think her symbols look more like planets in space though  :P

That's why I think she is so gorgeous! The deep body color with the "planets" and the walking pose makes her look like a relative of Nightglider.

One of my childhood ponies and the ONLY one I ended up taking scissors to, to 'fix' her hair...  the frizz just got to me, alas as you all know this won't fix the frizz, it just made the mane shorter and frizzy... lol... Still have her though

Looking at the photos, I am sensing a significant batch shade difference between Beachballs...

I love her (what a surprise given my username :) )

I have two 'baity' ones that are amongst my favourites -
Poser BB is discolouring but he (he's a he here) always makes me smile. He lives on my craft desk with an equally lived-in friend.
The other came with a lovely dark purple body but only a few tufts of frizzy hair. She's been rehaired and looks very glamorous.

For some reason it would feel really odd to have an upgrade.

That's a good point, there have been ponies in the past where I've been "hmm" at first, but then ended up totally head-over-heels with them a while later. The dark purple is certainly appealing, I'll have to keep an eye out for her. :)

Mine has horrendously matted hair, tail rust, her mane never changed color since I've had her, and she looks like she fell a great distance into a pile of rocks, but she was my first unicorn MLP ever and I rescued her from a daycare.

I have her (no photo on my laptop though) and I really really love her. She is my second favourite of the set. She came in a unicorn lot from America and I found that when she arrived she was even more amazing in 'person'. Her hair is not too bad actually but it doesn't really change colour any more; only very slightly.

Hmmm, not sure about this one! I wasn't really a fan of her before, but looking at the photos posted here - hmmm.. I might be tempted after all! She is a lovely unique purple colour :) I think I might have to hunt her down one day.

Here's my girl! The texture of her hair (and probably her darker color) are why I imagined her as black lady as a kid.
