I've never heard of her before but her name and symbol are great I feel like her colors could be brighter though, but that's just my love of neon showing. I'll have to hunt her down one of these days I think...

G1s were my childhood ponies. Like many others here I loved MLP from the get go because they were ponies that had adventures and still ate grass and the like not because of any of the more human like elements they were given in Tales (although I did like the characters in Tales the 'walking on two legs' style it often had really peeved little me).

G2s I liked fine but I thought of them as deer pony friends more than actual MLP. I was really sad when the line ended right after it started in the US or I would have collected more.

G3s had the look of G1 more but for some reason it never gave me the same warm feeling as the faces and style of G1 did and I stopped collecting them after a couple years.

I enjoy G4s and their chibi deer look but the more human element moments and Looney Tunes gags in the cartoon often pull me out of the show. Still I think I will someday own it on DVD... If I'm being very honest if Hasbro had kept the main 6 as their first rebooted G1 characters idea with Twilight, Posey, Surprise etc I would probably be an even bigger fan driven 50% on nostalgia alone

I think a lot has to do with what you relate a gen to. If you or your children grew up with a gen or have warm memories related to them it can be harder to part with them.

This is really sad to hear, I'd always been meaning to start to collect the figures at the very least. It seemed like a good chance to start up something akin to a Disney only version of Kingdom Hearts with the right storyline. Will they still be selling the figures for a while or are they going to be pulling everything all at once? Do the games have any offline play that would still make them worth getting afterward?

Moon for sure . I started with Blue Version in high school and I've been keeping the tradition of getting every 2nd game in a gen ever since. I usually get the water starter most of the time as well but I just can't get over how cute the little leaf owl is this time

I got rid of most of my G3s back around 2008 or so because I found I was just collecting them because they were MLP and not because I loved the line as a whole. Sometimes a gen doesn't click with us as much another but that's ok all and all

My first pony was ether Sparkler or Flat hoofed Minty, but Sparkler is the first MLP I remember opening from card when I was about three.
