I was moving around my ponies yesterday and was looking at my Sugar Apple. She was one of my childhood ponies and I have to say I never really liked her that well. But for some reason all of a sudden I just started to fall in love with her! Maybe it's the curls or the cute symbol :) I also disliked the Merry-Go-Round ponies for a long time but now loooooove them! And while I wouldn't say I disked wingers, I was never really interested in them. That is until michelle and others began posting gorgeous pics of their winger collection and now I have to have... all of them :shocked:
Are there any ponies you've changed your mind about?
-
I've been wanting to make this topic!
Pretty Beat
Sweetheart Sisters

I'm not sure I'd say there are ponies that I actively disliked but now like, however there are plenty that I was pretty 'meh' about before but now really like. Sundance, Moonstone, Snuzzle, Bluebelle, and so on. Also poses. The collectors pose, the Glory/Moonstone pose, and the Fizzy/Hula Hula poses were all kind of 'meh' to me before, but somehow I've recently fallen in love with them.
-
For me it was the G2s. I didn't like them that much when I started collecting many years ago, but they have grown on me since, and I've loved them for a while now. After getting my first G2, Copper Glow, I can't wait to get more!
-
Applejack.
When I started watching FiM I immediately favored her the least. I have now watched FiM 3 times and I've grown kind of ... attached to her.
-
This happens to me so often! I have very few ponies who consistently appeal to me, I'm always falling in and out of love with them.
One of the ponies I've definitely come around on is Snuzzle. I was never crazy for Snuzzle, as the only two I had was one who was terribly baity (Practically no hair) and the 25th anniversary re-issue. Then I found a beautiful mint Snuzzle at a local market one day, and it was love at first sight! She's so gorgeous! I don't think I'll ever stop loving her now.
Starshine is another pony I've come around on more recently. I was never crazy about her, but then I put her next to my Sundance one day and they were just so cute together. Oh! Also, Beddy-Bye eyes! I wasn't crazy about them as a kid, but I suddenly became obsessed with them last year. BBE Baby Sundance is one of my favourite ponies. I also have a Baby Shady with the most dreadful haircut who is just soooooooo cute.

I used to hate G1s 'cause I thought they looked kinda depressed, lol. Now I think they're adorable. :P
-
G3s. Now they look a bit older lol
-
Haha, we think alike, StoryDreamer :D
The G2s are starting to grow on me as well!
-
Ooh easy - G2's!!! I loathed them at first - now I adore them.
What other generation can boast a mint-green unicorn with flaming red hair??

ETA: haha StarDragon - great minds think alike!! I didn't see your post before posting mine... but it appears we're both full of Copper Glow love :heart:
-
Ah, there are so many. I used to think So Softs were ugly, but after getting a few in a large lot, I have grown quite fond of their little fuzzy bodies. I can't help but pick them up and stroke them like kittens :3
Another one for me was BBE's, but Baby Frosting in particular. Her neon green color, her eyes, oh goodness everything about her freaked me out.. And then I have no idea what happened. Now I think she is the most charming little thing ever haha
And finally, all the G4 toys. The bald look (on most) and the mousy face just looked awful to me, but unfortunately for my wallet, they did grow on me. I eventually concluded that attempting to style their hair just right was all part of the fun.
We'll see if G2's begin to grow on me like so many others...
-
Tootsie. Despite my love of all things green and blue, the sight of tootsie still looked like eye vomit to me. That is, until my friend Pamela bought one off ebay as a surprise for me and I held her in my hands. Been in love ever since <3 Such silky cerulean hair and such a fine new grass colored body ;-; So lovely
-
G3.5 ponies! They gave me such an awful impression of what My Little Pony had become that I had absolutely no interest in it, but the FiM phenomenon happened and now I'm into ponies again! Without G4 I wouldn't be here... because of G3.5 ._.;
But now I've looked at them more and more and I kind of like G3.5 ponies. They're not my favorite out of all the ponies, but they are kinda cute if you look at them. I still don't like some of them, but I've grown this really strange attachment to Toola-Roola. :3 And she used to be my least favorite of the G3.5s too - her color scheme looked so WEIRD! And now I love it :P
-
Pinkie Pie. I don't know what her personality was as G3, but I just don't like the all-pink ponies of any generation...it just feels lazy. Plus there were so many variations of her with the the whole core 7 thing, I found her boring. But I shockingly found I really enjoyed G4 Pinkie right from the beginning, despite not only being all pink, but also having a personality I don't normally like either. And my like for G4 Pinkie Pie seems to have spread backwards to G3 Pinkie, who, while still not a pony I "love," I can't say I dislike anymore either.
-
I will 3rd G2s. When they came out I was all,"that's not how they looked when I was a kid!" Even a few months ago when the collecting began I was not a fan. Suddenly, I feel I need to have them.
-
The BBE I never used to like them if I got one I would trade it on the spot. Now I got a full collection of them. I think I like sleepy pie the most out of them. I have gotten used to them now they dont scare me that much anymore.
-
The G4 Glimmer Wings. I used to hate them, but now I MUST HAVE THEM ALL :dribble:
-
I will 4th the G2's. :P
Absolutely couldn't care less about them until an Ivy arrived in a bulk lot of G1's. Now I collect them. They actually are super cute and the eye jewels are a lovely concept.
-
Pinkie Pie. I don't know what her personality was as G3, but I just don't like the all-pink ponies of any generation...it just feels lazy. Plus there were so many variations of her with the the whole core 7 thing, I found her boring.

And my like for G4 Pinkie Pie seems to have spread backwards to G3 Pinkie, who, while still not a pony I "love," I can't say I dislike anymore either.
I second this! I didn't understand all the hype about G4 Pinkie Pie until I heard the Smile song... her bubbly personality is not annoying anymore... :P
Also, TEs. I thought they were scary at first. But then I saw Mimic and understood why she's so popular... :lovey: :)
-
Ooh - I have to third Pinkie Pie!! I couldn't stand her at first because she was EVERYWHERE... now I adore her :heart:
ETA: in G3 days, she was just as ubiquitous - at least - as her G4 counterpart XD
-
I thought the twinkle eyes and BBEs were freaky too...now I'm like my 9 year old, to quote her, "I am willing to collect" anything MLP. At first she only wanted G1s (and the G4s she was already collecting) after we found a Stripes at a thrift store and I got super pumped(child of the 80s that I am). The only caveat was that BBEs were freaky and she would not accept them. Well,I got a bait BBE Lickety Split that really wasn't that bad for 50 cents and shipping. I cleaned her up and gave her to her and she stared at her for hours when she was supposed to be going to bed. So cute:)
I still don't love BBEs, but I am "willing to collect them".
-
FLutter Ponies and G4s have won me over. And I am softening toward the G2s. Slowly. LOL
-
I HATED the G4's when they came out. They were just so.....not pony like, with their big bulbous heads...I just couldn't stand them. THEN I stared watching FIM and I love the show...I don't hate the g4's anymore, I have the mane 6, Ploomette, Princess Celestia and Luna. I don't think I'll get anymore, since there are so many recycled bodies, I catch myself looking at some of them and trying to figure out who was reused to make the new character.
I'm still not a fan of the G3.5's....but then again, I don't know many who are...
-
Ah, there are so many. I used to think So Softs were ugly, but after getting a few in a large lot, I have grown quite fond of their little fuzzy bodies. I can't help but pick them up and stroke them like kittens :3
Oh fun topic! I'm with Fweepy--I didn't like So Softs at all, but then I started picking them up all the time at thrift stores. After they'd had baths I totally fell in love with them. And now I have nine sweet and cuddly girls :heart:
-
I also have sorta fallen for the g2s. I've had many pass through my hands; could not unrest and the appeal and then I found Princess Twinkle Star at a meet and. . . Something clicked. She's such a pretty pony and I love the clip on wings and now I'm thinking she needs some friends. :)
G1 princess ponies are another set that I didn't want anything to do with until I actually got one and then I wanted all of them. :lovey:
-
I actually really liked the G2's when I got a hold of one... my first bunch of ponies had G3, G2, and G1... I love them all. I hated the G4 at first... but they grew on me... and now I lOVE them.
-
Hahaha! Yes! Three other people who didn't like Pinkie Pie but now love her, I'm in good company! I don't know what it is about her... just love her so much. :drunk:
-
Pinkie Pie: I used to think that she tried a bit too hard being the funny/random one and that that was pretty much her whole character. Luckily she developed from there.
-
Every Beddy Bye Eye. They used to creep me out, now I find them kinda cute. All 3.5s. Same thing as the BBEs.
-
G2's for me as well, there are actually some really pretty ones.
-
Princess Ponies! Back when I started collecting I sold on quite a few Princesses who came in lots as I just wasnt a fan...now? I adore them and with all their little hats and wands and companions I cant get enough!
-
i totally have to mention the g2 too.
but since the first baby found her way to my collection, i began to love them!!! <3
-
Not so much dislike but I am terrified to buy a So Soft Pony. I'm worried I would get one and it would be all nasty. It's sad because Paradise is one of my childhood favorites but I can't bring myself to buy one out of fear that she will be all messed up.
So not a dislike but I guess just a fear of So Soft ponies. I know they are older and I can't expect them to be in perfect condition but for some reason you add the softness into the equation and I just can't seem to pull the trigger.
-
I will have to say the G2s as well. When I saw them for the first time, I was like, "Why, Hasbro, why?" But now, I think they're not so bad, and some, like Clever Clover, even have stolen my heart.
-
Perfume Puffs. I thought they were dumb. And then I saw one in person and liked her. Then I got a Red Roses... and now I love them!

Another one here for G2s. I remember them being in shops and just thinking "Ugh....skinny little things!" I also didn't like G3.5s and when we first saw the G4s a couple years back...I didn't like them either. But they all grew on me!
-
G1 Sunlight. I never thought there'd be a space for her in my collection. Mom even brought me one from a flea market and I nearly threw it out. Now I adore her, and I'm looking for an upgrade.
This pony ticks all my boxes. Powder blue body, rainbow hair, weather related symbol, one of the best poses around. Just took me a good long while to realize.
-
As a child I disliked both my Bow Tie and my Lickety-Split. They both had curly hair which soon turned to frizz that my other ponies were not afflicted with. I do like them both now!
I also used to dislike G2s, although I have recently warmed to them.
-
I was never really a fan of g3 Island Rainbow, but i love her now!
-
As a character, Pinkie Pie used to annoy me a lot. But she grew on me. G3 in general grew on me too, especially Minty.
-
EEK - I forgot G3.5's!!! Anyone who knows me knows I love these little big-headed buggers... but like most of us, I hated them at first! Now I'm addicted :lovey:
-
Another vote for G2's! Also, the BBE's. I was against them until I actually had one in hand. Baby Ribon was the surprise favorite. Now I find them to be so adorable.
-
This is the 3rd time I've added my 2 cents, but I am in agreeance with zennabug. I always thought they were so gross(the Perfume Puffs). Why would anyone want a pony that is meant to have really badly frizzed hair? Now, I kind of want them...this is not good...
-
Not so much dislike but I am terrified to buy a So Soft Pony. I'm worried I would get one and it would be all nasty. It's sad because Paradise is one of my childhood favorites but I can't bring myself to buy one out of fear that she will be all messed up.

That's exactly how I felt about them :lol: But... put on rubber gloves to protect against any nasties and give them a really good bath with gentle soap/shampoo/conditioner and I bet the soft clean fuzziness will charm you :lovey:
-
And finally, all the G4 toys. The bald look (on most) and the mousy face just looked awful to me, but unfortunately for my wallet, they did grow on me.
My mom's wallet pays for me liking MLP in general! XD

G4. When I first saw them in the store, I wasn't terribly impressed. I liked them better than G3.5 but not enough to buy one. At the time I wasn't really keeping up with the online community so I didn't know about the show or that Hasbro had redesigned again. I saw the stickers on the boxes advertising the show so eventually, I got online and watched it. I really liked it and I watched all of the episodes the summer after the first season. Even then, I couldn't get myself to buy one except for a single of Twilight Sparkle. And that was more for the fact that it amused me that she lives in a library and I work in one.
In the end, it was the play sets that got me into collecting G4. The first time I saw the carousel, I coveted it. I can't believe it took Hasbro nearly 30 years to come up with a working carousel for our ponies to ride on. I still put off and put off buying it because of the price. Then I found it for deep discount at Target after Christmas. I couldn't resist. And then I had to have just a couple more ponies to ride on it. Then I had to get Applejack's farm play set because she had her cowboy hat and hey, I live in Texas so had to have that. And when I first saw the train on the store shelf (I had not idea it was being released) I just about squealed because my family has a thing about trains. It's just all gone down hill from there. Now I have a pretty sizable collection at 30 ponies and 4 play sets. If I'm not careful, it will start rivaling my G3 collection.
-
I am another person who went from hating G2 and G3.5 to loving them! But my real shock was that I looooathed the Ponyville line and now I have a stack that I just love!
-
Now for something kinda different: an outfit! I used to hate Sidewalk Surfer and its ugly orange dress with ridiculous circle pattern. I like the fantasy aspect of MLP the best, so parts of the line like this this scream tacky 80's stuff just annoyed me, even back in the day. But I just bought it a few months ago (I'm trying to collect all the outfits), and was pleasantly surprised to find that the wheels on the skateboard actually roll. I guess that should have been obvious, but I could never get past the ugly dress to wonder if the board was functional. As soon as I got the outfit with the rolling board, I thought, "Oh, how fun!" Now I still think it looks tacky, but the skateboard is so much fun that the whole outfit is sort of growing on me. I'm even starting to think it's sort of cute, along with its earphones and knee pads.

Hehe fun topic!
I grew attached to my baby "Catpony".
When I got her on the fleemarket for only 10 Eurocents, I thought her to be not quite charming at all.
But I started to adore her as soon as I notest that she was one of my best buys!
Now, to me, she looks all pretty. And her hair still changes when I put her in the sun! ^.^
I guess my love for Catpony came with a price *giggles*.
