Keep the votes coming!  I'm going to mail the results to Basic Fun when I'm done.  :P  I don't know if they will even make this set but . . . can't hurt to tell them our favorites, right? 

And don't worry, I'll make that Year 5 TE poll too!

If production costs are an issue, I don't think they'd put out three new molds at once in one set (only time that happened was with the first Rainbow set). So it'd have to be Fizzy, Galaxy, Gingerbread and Sweet Stuff. Too bad for the pegasi, but I think that's a fine lineup. Fizzy and Gingerbread are musts in any case. And hopefully they can add the other two later, like they did for the second Rainbow set. And maaaaybe will do for the second unicorn/pegasi set, if we're lucky...? (I don't think they've confirmed it either way. But so far they haven't left any set incomplete).

I know it wouldn't happen, but I would love Gingerbread and Sweet Stuff in different poses.

My first three were easy picks - Fizzy (sister's first pony) Masquerade (my childhood pony) and Gingerbread (because she's never white!)

I was really torn because I wanted to select Sweetie as well, but for two reasons I went with Sweet Pop as my fourth.

Reason 1 - Sweet Pop was never available here, so it would be lovely to see her. I really like her colours.
Reason 2 - The name Sweet Stuff is offputting and I would be less keen to see that on a box, because it wasn't what I grew up with.

Sweet Pop is an underrated beauty.

I'm not that interested in buying Basic Fun ponies myself, but these are the ones I think would sell best:

Fizzy - I think she's one of the most well-known and iconic ponies, probably because she featured so prominently in the cartoon.
Sweetstuff - Another who featured prominently in the cartoon. I imagine a lot of UK people know her as Sweetstuff rather than Sweetie because of this.
Masquerade - A fairly unique colour scheme, she was prominent in the cartoon and the comic so she would tap into people's nostalgia.
Galaxy - Again, she was in the cartoon so a lot of people would remember her fondly. Also, unicorns sell!

It was very hard to choose just four, so I just went with Fizzy, Whizzer, Masquarade and Sweet Stuff, although I believe Gingerbread and Galaxy also deserved to be picked.

Fizzy, Galaxy and Sweet Stuff, because they're my favourite Twinkle Eyes. And then Gingerbread, because I kept coming back to her while trying to pick a fourth :)

Eh, I don't think so. The cartoon wasn't that prominent here in the eighties compared to the comics. I had the VHS of Sweet Stuff and the Treasure Hunt as a kid and I disconnected from it a bit because I knew the name was 'wrong' even as a six or seven year old. Sweetie was sold here for 2 years with that name on her card, whereas the TV show didn't air here until 1995, they were just on VHS. The comics ran from 1985 to 1993 and she was quite prominent in them between 86 and 87 because she was sold across those two years (she's part of our '1987' set, even if she isn't in the US set.

 Most UK collectors who use the US names now do so because of online ID sites or info found as adult collectors, rather than because they were influenced to as a child (though there are probably some exceptions).

Fizzy is one of the prettiest TE.  But I'd love to see year 5 ponies.  Mimic and Quackers are my favorite twinkles.

Ah, sorry. My girlfriend always calls Sweetie Sweetstuff because of the cartoon so I was probably generalising from that. But she grew up in the 90s so obviously the comic was over and I think she saw the cartoon on VHS before she ever found any annuals/the fact file.
