Unpopular Pony Opinions

[Leave a Whisper]

I like Sunny's symbol,  because it reminds me of the Sparkle Babies symbols.

Anything to do with perfume or makeup on ponies is just... weird.  I get it, no hoof care playset, but ... I have never seen a horse wearing lipstick.

Not to mention the way the commercials show how the hoof polish is meant to be applied...like hippo toes...what's that about?

Also unrelated, but the song in this commercial is honestly a bop. Just so 80's!

Wish I didn’t see the advert now that’s creepy.

Why did y'all have to remind me of the hippo toes

Maybe not unpopular among us, but apparently unpopular with Hasbro...

They started making less and less green ponies. Almost every color has more ponies than green. Also there isn’t a lot of clear ponies and red ponies.

While I can't say I *like* them, I don't dislike the names of the G5 ponies. If anything, I find them heaps and bounds better than the naming trend started by G3 where the names seemed downright adlibbed. I swear, if I see one more pony with "sweetie" in her name...

The G5 ponies do also have two names, but it seems to be more of an established first name/last name thing which I don't mind as much.

I don't mind some of the Bore Core. I like G3 Rainbowdash, Sweetie Belle and Cheerilee, they are such pretty ponies.

I dunno if this is unpopular or not, or if it's been said before (hard to remember all what's been said in this thread!), but I don't mind the notion of MLP having a core set of "main" characters *in general*. It's when those characters almost entirely take over the line that I have a problem.

Monster High, Enchantimals, Littlest Pet Shop (for the brief period when they flirted with doing a "core 7" kind of thing), probably many other lines but those are the first few to come to mind, they all had main characters but released plenty of other characters as well! Enchantimals especially does it well IMO, their lines are usually like 90% new chars. If MLP had done their core 7 or main 6 like that, then I'd have no problems with it. I prefer how G1 did it but I totally get WHY they'd want some main/recurring characters.

What bugs me is they DID have a pretty good balance of main 6/non-main 6 at the start of G4. I just don't understand why they dropped that halfway through the line in favour of an endless parade of main 6 with MAYBE some new characters once in a while!

I think it would've been interesting to see how Hasbro developed the 7 characters (Tales Ponies) going forward if they had had a third or fourth year. It did seem like from 1993 and 1994 that they intended to reissue each of them in different sets with other ponies and then add other characters too - which would have worked nicely. But we'll never know if they only ever anticipated 2 years.

I guess it's unpopular but I'm fine with pink ponies. However, I do support the more green ponies as well

I also don't like the names of the G5s. But I'm really just unmoved by them completely right now...

[ponyprincess2021]

I don’t mind if the same characters are re used. But maybe it’s better if we let go of the older ones because after a while I would get sick of seeing the same characters on screen. But I wouldn’t be annoyed if they kept old characters and had new ones.

I would be pretty upset if there were less pink ponies so I’m happy that they exist. But there is a lot of colors that I usually never really see ponies with. Also I didn’t grow up with g1 and I never saw the original show. But I like how their bringing back some g1 characters I would like if there were g1 ponies as actual characters in g5 Izzy kind of reminds me of buttons.
