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

I do have her, FF and CC, Mexican too.

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.

There are a couple in my bait box. I think of her as the "original pony" even though she wasn't first. She's iconic!

My favourite collector pony <3 She's so iconic, I just love her. I ticked 'army' since I seem to be building one, haha..

Concave feet, 25th ann, 35th ann, Baby CC. I'd like to get the 80s FF ver sometime.

Don't have pics of these but I also have the Dollymix, Hallmark ornament (LOVE this one), World's Smallest and Funko POP (really want to get the POP keyring too!). I should really take a pic of my CCs all together sometime :)

Pass. She's my least favorite from this set, so very boring.

Cotton Candy was my second pony.  True confessions:  I only bought her because she featured heavily in Moondancer's backcard story, and I was sort of heartbroken that the store didn't have Twilight (also in Moondancer's backcard story) the day I picked her out.  But still a beloved member of my herd!

Incidentally, mine was from the store and was the "dark" version . . . Just mentioning this because some people think only the mail order had that coloring, and that definitely was not the case.

I'm pretty sure I had her when I was a child and I now have a replacement who came in a job lot with Baby Cotton Candy and I still have my childhood Baby Cotton Candy. A mini army :biggrin:

Understated classic?

To be honest, I actually prefer her G3 counterpart.

I like that story where Moondancer put her under forced hibernation for eating her flowers.

I have Baby Cotton Candy and I adore her. I would love to have more versions of her though as pink is my absolute favourite colour :)

I have many versions of her. I think the only one left on my wish list is the 2008 retro version from the press kit that also came with Core 7 PP. The whole kit is pretty high on my wish list, actually.

I have a few, since she was my childhood pony. I have two darker pink CF versions and one lighter pink CF version. I hope I still have the flat foot version somewhere. I have two babies, one with pink hair and one with white hair.

Cotton Candy was my first pony and I call her my accidently army pony because she seems to multiply when I'm not looking. :lol:   I have my childhood Cotton Candy, FF CC, another Cotton Candy, Baby CC. Basic Fun CC and Funko Pop Cotton Candy.

Here are a few pics

My first CC is the darker version too.  I didn't know that most CC's were a little pink until I was an adult and got in to collecting ponies.

Love this pony a lot! She might seem boring if you look at the G1 range as a whole, but I think to appreciate her you need to look at it from the perspective of the time she came out in. In 1983 she and her set mates were completely unique and set the standard for all MLPs that followed. I think that's very cool!

I think of her as the "original pony" even though she wasn't first. She's iconic!

Since CC is the only one of the original six to retain the spotted symbol that originally all of them were intended to have, I think of her as the ur-pony. At least she's the one that's closest to the original concept.
