Collectors, I know this might be a hard question for some, but if you were only to keep 10 ponies from your collection/wishlist, which ones would it be?
And to make things easier, you can have 10 ponies per generation. Fitting +35 years of pony history into just 10 slots can be very hard!
As for me, I made my own here under the spoiler (no particular order). Just G1 tho, I'm still thinking about G2 and G3:
Spoiler
- Moonstone (Blue, planet symbol, rainbow hair, unicorn, she's perfect for me)
- Medley (Teal and green, pegasus for variety, musical symbol. I just think she's lovely!)
- Starglow (I love the whole concept of Glow N Show ponies, and Starglow pulls it off the best)
- Big Brother/Mountain Brother placeholder (I don't know which one I'd like yet because everyone looks so nice! But I'd defo want a boy pony in my collection. I love the fluffy hooves)
- Seapony placeholder (I love G1's variety when it comes to species and I think Seaponies look very different and adorable)
- Princess Pony placeholder (Something about the Princess Ponies feels... special to me, you know?)
- Creamsicle (again, we're aiming for variety and iconicity here, and my pick for a Pony Friend is Creamsicle since I love giraffes)
- Neon-colored pony placeholder (probably a tropical one, or a Neon Beat, or that one Melody with rollerskates. I love bright colours and while they're not MLP's main color scheme, I want some brightly colored goodness represented here)
- Night Sky or Munchy (These are my favourite TAFs, and it's a lovely gimmick when pulled well)
- Quackers (I love the Twinkle Eyes for their surprising comic lore, and I love her whole "looking for rainbows after the rain ends" vibe. And ducks)
As a general rule I don't add baby ponies because they're not quite my thing but if I had to make an honorary mention that'd be Baby Ribbs. Love me some green ponies and especially dragons.
What would be your top 10 picks?
I'm just going to list G1 picks since that's the generation I collect the most. This is somewhat off the top of my head :)
