Do you have this pony? Your thoughts? Share some more pics!

I have two of her. Lucked out with a shopgoodwill auction in my area a few years back and got her (with her box and only a few accessories).

Starting from the very beginning of MLP this year. Will continue to dedicate the first few days to birthday ponies in celebration of those born within that month.

I'd love to find one in terrible shape I could customize into Applejack.

I think she's a bit too big for my taste (and space.. or lack thereof :P), but I'd probably cave so quickly if I found one in the wild. She's so pretty, I wish they'd made a regular-sized pony with this design!

I'd love her, even though her size would mean she'd have to live at the bottom of a wardrobe with the Fashion Star Fillies!

I got her as a kid.  But I don't know what became of her.  Hopefully, she found a nice home.

Pass, she's not pleasing to my eyes in regards to color and pose. Hasbro and attempts at realistic horsies do not mesh well.

I wonder if Megan's pony TJ was based on him.

One that I'd love to add to my herd someday.  :lovey: As much as I adore the pastel, magical ponies we all know and love, I wish Hasbro would have experimented with realistic patterns from time to time. (And more neutral tones ; i.e., Snuzzle.)

I'm on the fence about her so I'll pass today.

I like her realistic color a lot but the eyes on these things is creeping me out so she´s a pass.
I wish they made this as an actuall small collectors-pose pony

ironically this was the original plan for the my little ponies before someone convinced them to do colors and add symbols.
these sold decently well and they decided to try a smaller size for production costs reasons and boom collector pose was born

Yeah, the eyes on these are a dealbreaker for me, too. Just not a fan of inset eyes.

I always thought TJ was based on MPP too ^^

I wish they'd done a set of realistically coloured ponies. I definitely prefer the rainbow colours, but one or two sets of more natural-coloured ones would've been fun too.

I'll pass. She's lovely but just doesn't appeal to me in the same way the smaller, colourful ponies do.

I don't have any of them, but they're on my wish list for sure. Super cute!

I love MPP! Pretty sure my mom had her at one point.

I remember hearing years ago that she was.

I have her! Love her, she's such a cool pony ^^
Mine has an ear loose, but that's ok. the wink and other ear works.

Have her, though not the specific version in this photo. The one I have is the one that mostly looks like this, but with the large white spots on her flanks.

She's a girl I'd love to add to my collection but have never sought out.

Have her! I adore her. <3 I also have her box and all her accessories, unused, she's extremely minty.
I would love to have her pink counterpart someday. <3

Facebook Marketplace has one in MI, no hair, chew to ear, perfect for customization...

This is one that I've made customs of. Mommy and Baby. Here's Mommy!

Megan's horse TJ always reminded me of her!

Have her! Sadly mine took a spill at some point, which resulted in an ear breaking off. It was reattached but no longer moves.

TJ has somewhat the same body and hair color as MPP, but they don't share the same body markings whatsoever. And there aren't a lot of different colors you can expect a generic horse to have. I don't think TJ was intended to represent MPP, since it had certainly been discontinued by year 2 and Hasbro would have no interest in advertising it. More likely TJ is just there to serve the story, to establish Megan as a horse girl.

However, ever since the MLP collector community formed online, TJ has always been the source of rumors and speculations. Many have claimed that an official TJ toy did exist, even though no one could provide evidence. Maybe MPP is a part of this, as some collectors might've seen one as a child and mistaken it for TJ.

TJ's design in The End of Flutter Valley was a bit closer to MPP.

I'd love to see a custom of her.

IIRC Macau Jenny was the one thought to be "the TJ toy" back in the day.

Forgot TJ made an appearance in that one! They got the blaze and lost the appaloosa spots, indeed making them closer to MPP. But I remain very doubtful that was anyone's intention, as MPP would've been discontinued for three years at that point. And it's still a pretty generic horse design.

Whatever the case I think it's very charming that a regular simple colored horse that appeared for a brief few seconds on a cartoon full of colorful talking fantasy horses stuck in people's mind to the point that it's still being brought up decades later.  :)

So i first saw this post a few days ago, and i was thinking "i probably wouldnt go out of my way to get her, but if i saw her in a thrift shop for cheap i would snatch her up in a heartbeat!"... I went to goodwill last night and, believe it or not, she was there! Just for a few dollars and in pretty decent condition too.. No accessories though, but thats not a big deal to me.. The timing on that is so funny!

She is currently sitting in my room and waiting to be cleaned
