Oh that’s a good one! Curious for the answers :coffee:
Because I can’t decide between Polaris and Aurora!
I am not a fan of the Tootsie Pose so the other two don’t count for me :blush:

Nova, because she's all blue and her symbol kinda reminds me of Samus Aran's space ship. My only super tiny nitpick is, I wish she was on the Posey pose but that is okay.  I'm hoping I'll find her at Crackerbarrel.

Which one do you like best Loa?

^ That only shows two of them.

I looked 'em up on Amazon. I think I like Aurora the most.

I haven't seen them in person yet, but so far I think my favorites are Polaris and Aurora.   I feel like I should love Milky Way, but there's something about her that makes me not like her as much as the others.

I think Aurora is my fav bc she's so brightly colored

Aurora & Polaris are my faves, but I want them all

Will decide that when I see them in person. Sister and I have always traditionally split sets between us. I'm probably going after Milky Way first, but we'll see. I think the UK won't see them till end Sept, though I'm hoping I might find them when I go down south for graduation.

I like the two posey-pose best.  Nova is neat with her dark blue.  Milky Way a little plain pink, and not a fan of the reused name.

Nova is definitely my favorite! I love the color blue and her lightning storm symbol is so cool!

That’s almost exactly what I was going to write!  :lol:

She is my favorite.  I love her contrasting eyes.

 Milky Way is pretty too.  If her eyes had been green, it would had been a lot harder to choose.

1. Aurora
2. Milky Way
3. Polaris
4. Nova

Aurora has been my favorite since I first saw the artwork. Something about her purple and aqua colors - purple is my favorite color. Milky Way second because I love stars.

Polaris and Aurora because I love Posey's pose. I put Polaris above Aurora though since Aurora reminds me too much of Melody and Sweet Blossom. Melody and Sweet Blossom are among my most favorites, but I really like seeing color combinations that haven't already been used for Posey's pose.
Title: Re: Who is your favourite Celestial pony?

I went with Polaris. I like the contrast between her pastel colored body and bold pink hair.

Aurora is a close second, but she's too much like Flower Fantasy Sweet Blossom for me - same pose even.

Hard to say until I've seen them all in person, but for now I'll go with Nova. I really like her colours and symbol <3

Aurora's cute and usually I love the trotting pose, but she's a bit too similar to Melody for me. Milky Way's cute but doesn't quite stand out, somehow (also not thrilled that they recycled a name for her).

I love them all, though :heart:

They all look lovely but I like Aurora. I think their colors are so contrasting. :)

Milky Way. I love the pink. Polaris is second. Aurora is my least favorite.

I love Polaris and Nova because I like blue ponies.  Just not a huge fan of the Tootsie pose....

polaris! i love the name and the striking pink hair against the pastel whitish blue body <3

aurora is definitely a close second though. i'll get obsessed with anything that has a cute little saturn planet on its butt

honestly, can't choose! Def hoping to get my hands on them soon, maybe i'll be able to say then

Edit: Well was able to get my hands on Nova! So I'm going with her :) Polaris was out of stock and the other two weren't availeble over here, will likely have to buy them elsewhere

Milky Way has the most interesting color :D

I love Polaris. Color me surprised getting excited over a pastel blue pony.  :satisfied:

Post by: MJNSEIFER on September 02, 2023, 12:54:27 PM
I like both Aurora and Nova - Aurora has a beautiful color scheme (despite, yes, it being a color scheme that MLP has already done a few times) and her symbol fits the theme of what they appear to be trying to do with toyline.

Nova also has a beautiful color scheme, and it fits the space theme a little more in my opinion - I am mixed on her symbol, because I find lightning symbols cool, but there's kind of a lot going on with it.

I actually feel that a pony with Nova's color scheme and Aurora's symbol (albeit slightly recolored) would have been perfect.

I'm so torn on these.  One the one hand, I like the creativity that they are trying to bring out...on the other...I'm looking to downsize and sell off the ponies that are here.  Maybe I'd be in love if I saw them in person.  The pictures are nice, just not giving the I MUST HAVE IT!! feeling.
Title: Re: Who is your favourite Celestial pony?
Post by: xCharx on September 07, 2023, 08:44:33 AM
Oohh it's so surprising for me to see that most people like Aurora best! I like her the least :blush:

Her colors look so random to me! :shocked: They just don't tie in. Her hair, symbol, eyes and antenna are all different colors while the other ponies in the set have repeating colors within their designs (Nova yellow in eyes and symbol, Polaris' hair, eyes and antenna matching the symbol, Milky Way's antenna matching the symbol).

Also Aurora matches the coloring in the original Hasbro concept art the least out of the four. That bugs me. To match she artwork hair should have been more greenish and the eyes less green. Then her coloring would also look less randomly thrown together ^.^ Her color combo in the original artwork makes more sense.

I like Nova and Polaris best :biggrin: (Would have liked it even better if Polaris' swirls were more visible.)

I agree that her coloring doesn't match the concept art very well. When the first pictures of the toys came out I was confused as to why Aurora was pink/magenta when I've always seen her as being purple in the artwork. I still like her though! :lol:

Aurora because she coordinates with the box colors so well and she's so bright and perfect pose.
Title: Re: Who is your favourite Celestial pony?
Post by: Taffeta on September 09, 2023, 06:03:27 AM
Now I've seen them all, I'm sticking with Milky Way. I love her colouring. I also think she looks pretty in the box with the gold, although I had to take mine out to get her home (lol). Aurora is also very pretty but my sister claimed first say on her, and she reminds me a lot of a cross between Melody and Sweet Blossom anyway.

I also now know which is which without having to hit up google (lol).

If Nova had been in the Posey pose then she would probably be my fav.   I think right now Polaris is my fav.  Her sort of greyish body colour is unique.

Milky Way!  Which surprises me because after years and years of G3 and G4 Pinkie Pie, I felt totally done with all-pink ponies.  But something about her is just captivating. I love them all, though!
Title: Re: Who is your favourite Celestial pony?
Post by: Beldarna on September 28, 2023, 02:31:37 AM
Aurora is my favorite. She's so vibrant and I love her symbols with the planet and it's moons. She also reminds me a lot about Melody from the Tales set.
Title: Re: Who is your favourite Celestial pony?
Post by: hilamb on October 02, 2023, 07:32:41 AM
Aurora. The colors are really fresh and I love the symbol. Polaris comes as a close second. The colors are calming, and the symbol is cute.
Title: Re: Who is your favourite Celestial pony?
Post by: Ponybookworm on October 03, 2023, 10:10:19 AM
Still Polaris, but narrowly...
All are lovely in their own way. The only reason Milky Way is last is her repeat name. I like Nebula for her instead...

Post by: WeetabixPony on October 06, 2023, 12:32:45 PM
Absolutely Polaris. Milky Way is a close second.

I feel like I should like Nova since all of her features are things I usually love in ponies (she's blue, she's in the Tootsie pose, she has a cloud symbol), but for some reason she just seems... empty? I like the version with pink stripes much better, it really makes her pop more. But since she'd be hard to come by for me in that version (they don't sell these ponies here, so I'm stuck with ordering online) I'm going to have to pass.

Aurora just screams NO to me, despite being in one of my favourite poses. I hate her colour scheme. I really don't understand how she made it to number one in the poll. :P

Post by: specialk070581 on October 11, 2023, 07:54:49 PM
In the artwork I like Nova, but I don't think what they produced does her justice. In the ponies they actually made Polaris is my favourite.

How do I only know hear of them??? How could I miss this??? Polaris! Her colors are gorgeous! And I love that pose! Should I order her? Expensive on German Amazon! She would be my first pony in at least 8 years or so. Decisions decisions!
