G1 episodes, I'd have to say Sonambula if only because it introduces us to the Big Brother ponies.  I'm also quite fond of the Magic Coins episode (though I always giggle when Megan's solution to the drought is to sing.  Because *that* isn't going to make everyone more tired and thirsty. )

FiM episodes I'm fond of are Winter Wrap-up and Suited for Success, probably mainly because of the awesome songs. 

I don't have a photo woth him on his own, but the barnicle in the front of this photo is very special to me. I have culled down my collection to near nothing since this photo, but that pinky pie army was pretty awesome

Barnicle was the last pony that I took up to the nursing home to see my pop before he passed away, he used to like my pony collection, and Barnicle was one of the last that came in, he really fancied him with the little pirate hat & all, so even though Barnicle is almost considered bait due to lots of marks & spots, he will never leave my hands, and will never be customized, I like him just as he is.

I have a couple of other ponies or fakies that are special to me as they are gifts from loved ones, but barnicle holds a very special place in my heart My pop was the only grandparent I ever really formed a bond with, and I have many fond memories spending time with him as a child.

 

This is my favorite pony, Wind Whistler:

And here's my story.  When I was four, I received Wind Whistler as a Christmas present and I loved her.  I thought she was so pretty, with her soft blue color and her lovely pink hair.  I was a fairly well-behaved kid and I managed to convince my mom to let me bring her with me to the mall, something that my parents never let us do.  Of course, I promptly lost her and I felt horrible about it for days afterwards.  Indeed, I could still remember the incident clearly two decades later.

Fast forward twenty years later, I had just started pony collecting and I was at Savers.  They had just brought out a new basket of toys to stock the back shelves and what should appear before my eyes but an absolutely mint SS Windwhister.  Unfortunately, a little girl had gotten to the basket first and she'd picked up the pony before me.  So I waited, holding my breath, until the little girl put Wind Whistler down.  I asked her if she wanted it; she said no and walked away so I very excitedly picked up Windwhistler.  And though the odds of it being the one I'd lost are slim, it still felt like it was the one I had lost at the mall finally coming home to me after all these years.  She was dressed in the "Something Old, Something New" wedding dress, so I partnered her with the boy pony I'd found the week before (Wigwam) and excitedly brought her over to my mom's basket.

I actually found a bunch of g1s that day, but I could have found just her and I would have been just as happy.  She's the prized jewel of my collection and my favoritest pony ever.    

Yay!  Diamond Rose and Cherry Pie look so pretty. 

And I'm happy that the DVD looks like a different episode.  I shall build up season 1 tiny dvds 1 by 1 it seems and soon have a set of. . .  coasters?
