I would never argue with them over it, because they're not my toys and that's just rude, but it bugs me all the same.On one of the pony cassettes I was listening to the other day, it stated Moondancer was a he. That was an American cassette. It confused me because I am sure Moondancer is 'she' on the backcard...Really? That's interesting.Yep. There's one UK book as well that I *think* switches genders between the first and second edition for some of the ponies (Seashell maybe? Applejack maybe?) Someone probably remembers more clearly. And of course newborn twin Sniffles with the horn is a boy officially in the UK and not in the US. I sort of agree with you. I mean, it's up to every person to choose, but I try to keep the genders as they are. I think it's fine for Baby Schoolbag and for Sportstime to be slightly less "macho" boy ponies, and I think it's cool for Sniffles to be a boy, because it means that (in the UK at least) there's a first generation unicorn.I wish my keyboard still remembered how to type the number that comes before 2. It is very hard to talk about generation one ponies without that number key functioning.@ Olympus - I don't really know Trixie's character, but I think she's one of the prettier G4 pony toys. I think she's a bit of a narcissist in the show? I can imagine how that might put someone off her...Ponywear is both silly and unnecessary. But sometimes that makes it fun. I always wanted to be able to dress my ponies up in a spacesuit. That is still a dream unfulfilled, as I still don't have a complete Ponynaut.

I had no idea that there was a pony spacesuit. Does it come with a little helmet?

That's the piece I still have never managed to get hold of I imagine it looks really cute. That set of outfits is the most ridiculous. But I love the idea of sending a pony into space...

Wingers were originally planned to be baby flutters, but at some point their concept was changed to the adult Summer Wings and later Windy Wings that we know today. I remember Ruth Bush (former Hasbro artist/designer/molder) mentioning that.

Edit: Here's a picture from Ruth Bush's presentation at Pony Fair, thanks to ShelvesOfWhimsy's camera skills. *waves*visitors can't see pics , please register or loginThe 'baby flutter' / wingers prototypes are three pictures to the left of the pony sink sketch, with the stand-in pipecleaner wings.
Yes, they're small adults. If you look at their faces compared to the baby ponies, their features are more "adult" and refined. Like, less chubby, smaller eyes in comparison to their faces, stuff like that. (I assume the molds had more baby-ish faces when they were intended to be baby flutters.)It's really hard to say which concept I like more--I love baby ponies (except newborns and teeny tinies, ha ha well I guess I like 'some' baby ponies), but I do love the wingers as they are now.Edit: Here's a picture from Ruth Bush's presentation at Pony Fair, thanks to ShelvesOfWhimsy's camera skills. *waves*visitors can't see pics , please register or loginThe 'baby flutter' / wingers prototypes are three pictures to the left of the pony sink sketch, with the stand-in pipecleaner wings.
