So I got all my animal friends that were stored away in a box in my closet due to moving recently out and put them on display on top of my jewelry box. I really like them and am curious as to how many are out there. Was there one made for every pony or are they in sets too? I'd like to collect them all.
So far I have the following:
Pink cat
White rabbit
Purple Swan
Yellow Bee
Pair of Chipmunks (one figure)
Purple Bird
Red Parrot
Pink Pig
Yellow Hamster
Yellow duck
Purple/grey Raccoon
Blue Bird
Anyone else collect these? I like them because they kinda look like littlest pet shop and I really want to get into that but am worried I don't have space! :(

Most singles come with an animal friend. A lot of sets come with them, too.
I think the best way to keep track of how many there are is from this thread: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,296088.0.html
There's a LOT of little bunnies, squirrels, and chipmunks.
-
my favorites are the pig and the yellow duck! the white dog is cute too, but he's trapped MIB in my rd camping set atm. XD
-
Oh my, there's a lot more than I thought! I want them all but I don't want to have to go through the trouble of buying all the apple jacks, rainbow dashes and other main ponies to get them!
I agree that the pig is so cute. I love the pink cat too and the raccoon!
-
I have no idea, I don't display mine due to lack of room, once I get a better way to display my G4s, then I'll display them. They are cute though.
-
I'm hoping to get Flitterheart soon, a large part of which is because her pet pig is so precious! I also quite like Lily Blossom's white swan and Cupcake's raccoon.
-
I have the pig and Winona displayed with my Applejack barn. I have the blue bird sitting on Twilight's Balloon too. The rest are tucked away with my accessories.
-
I actually think the Pig and the Hamster are the cutest ^.^
... and is it just me or does the Bee look more like a yellow rabbit wearing orange clothes and flashing us? I'm sorry lol, every time I see it I see this naughty bunny before I see a bee... I almost threw the bee out when I got Honeybuzz but I saved it in case they ever become rare or sought after because of people throwing them away... which I doubt will happen because I've heard a lot of people say the same thing about saving theirs! :lol:
-
I love the little animals! Its a winning point for me with the G4 line...but I will warn you that there are a lot to track down :)
Its not just individual ponies [and the likes of the main 6 whose re-releases sometimes have alternate companions] but a lot of the sets [Fluttershys Nursery, Cheerilees Picnic and many more] have yet further recolours! It would be an amazing collection to have them all :)
Maybe you could make a post over in the Wanted forum to say you are looking to buy for them and some people who may not be keeping them could help out?
My fav is the duck that came with luggage toting Rainbow Dash!

There is a list of animal friends here

They are super cute. I love the peacock the most I think.
-
I agree with hathorcat! You should post over in the Wanted section and see if you can buy some of them, if you like collecting them. I think some people probably just throw them out or keep them in a bag somewhere, and wouldn't mind parting with them...
-
They are pretty cute, though I still don't quite get why they are totting around little animals.
When I got DD AJ when they first came out, I didn't get why she had a dog (now it makes sense). But she just got RD with the duck and I'm thinking, "shouldn't she have a turtle?". The other pony she has came with a hamster.
------
Did they release the ponies with their actual pets or is it all random?
-
i collect them to go in my fluttershys tree
-
Cute photo, I like the pets too. Actually, I like them more than the ponies, hehe.
Sorry, can't help you on the particulars though. Every G4 I've ever had has had one.

With the mane 6, they've released Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, AJ, and Twilight Sparkle with their pets, though AJ is the only one that has a pet Animal Friend that has colors like the one in the show (Fluttershy comes close too though, only difference is that Angel bunny doesn't have a bow in the show). Besides that, the mane 6 usually get random animal, and I think non-mane 6 get an animal that "matches" them (like Feathermay's parrot)
-
That pink kitty is cute! I need to find one!
-
I don't like G4, but I love some of the animal friends, so I want all of the butterflies and I have a rabbit and a hamster/mouse :-)

RD actually comes with a turtle like Tank in her "riding along set"...and she was released as a toy that way ages before the episode where she gets a pet.

I like the concept of the pets - it reminds me of vintage SSC. :)
My favorites are the swans and parrot. Never liked Twilight's random bird in the first release though.
-
My favorite is the piggy. He's so cute! ^.^

That page is great for checking the animals, I was gonna post if you hadn't! The peacock IS super cute... and I think I need to find some of the butterflies! The pets remind me of Li'l Litters so they are hard for me to resist!
I have these so far:

Now I see him up close I love that chicken from the Barn as well!
-
WOW... I have a bunch more to go!
Here is my mini army (it has grown a bit since this photo)

If you ask nicely I might be willing to part with a few.... I think 3 of each is good number...not enough room!
Must get Turtles and those purple chipmunks too!!!!!
I was watching one of the G1 movies recently (not sure which it was - maybe pony puppy) and there were a ton of forest friends- I wonder if that is where Hasbro decided the G4 needs pet friends?
-
I totally forgot a picture yesterday!

It's kinda old though and I now also have the yellow shell turtle, purple swan and pink/white mouse.
I had made a flickr group for Animal Friends a while back (all gens)

Check it out and add photos if you're on there ;)

It is! It kinda makes me want to get some of the playsets I don't have to get the animals. The chicken, white duck, brown bunnies and white cat especially <3

They're not a selling point for me, but there are a few I like.
Is anyone a completionist and interested in the ones from Rarity's Bonus Carousel (the French release)? Those are pretty htf, right?

:) I was just in the process of updating that page with more animals. There are tons of animal color variations with sets like the Nursery Tree and Cheerilee Picnic so I have found a lot more. Also, exclusive sets like the new Around Town train playset has 4 pets too and also appears to have color variations.
I could really use close up/loose pics of some of the pets on that page if anyone wants to help me out :)
I like the peacock too :) Other favorites are the koala, pig, turtles, and the double chipmunks...

I think only 2 of them are actual colour variations but they are pretty impossible to find unfortunately...
@3377345 I think the white duck also comes with luggage RD as well as with the playset
@Chip - wow! now thats an animal army!!!

Haha only one, really. xD You get a purple squirrel which is new, and then just a brown dog (like Applejack's). Plus a yellow mouse, but that comes with the regular release too.

Reason I asked is because I have them! I imported that bonus carousel from Amazon France earlier this year because I really wanted the orange carriage (I collect them) xD
Fortunately I think someone is interested in buying my extra animals, so they should be sold soon!

I've always considered Twilight's Bird/Owl? to be her pet from the show Owlowiscious, even though it looks nothing like her and is the wrong color.
-
Thanks for that info saply!!! For some reason I thought there was 4 animals in there in total! I ll change the G4 check sheet :)
-
I think the koala, pig and tortoise are my favourites and I like that AJ came with Winona, but what I really really want is Pinkie's Gummy. (And I kinda wish Twilight had come with Spike, though I know he's not actually her pet)
Question: How many people bought the luggage pony Mane Six wave just for the new pets?
-
I have several for trade. I was going to just collect them all in the beginning, but they kept toppling off my overcrowded pony shelves whenever I'd touch a pony, so I decided to just keep a few in the end like the turtle, parrot, butterfly, cat, peacock and few others I can't think of at the moment.
-
The swan and bee are definitely my favs. :D I'm honestly not really big on most of the accessories other than these little animals and the brushes. When the rest of my ponies get home I'll probably display all the animals near Fluttershy.

I bought Ploomette just for her peacock! Does that count? I am not a fan of the glimmer wings but I couldnt resist that peacock so cute!
The lack of a gummy is driving me crazy :P They'll release white Celestia and Trixie and Lyra but they cant give at least one Pinkie release with Gummy. Although if HB did a box set of the original 6 each with accurate versions of their pets that would be tough to resist!

That would be me :)

Did anyone notice the "HASBRO" logo on most of the pets? I have 4 white swans and only 1 of them has the "G4 logo" on it!
I am NOT a G4 pony collector, but I love the pets. Did more than 1 pony come with a white swan?

I "think" that the moulds changed on the pets...the initial releases had no Hasbro branding and then the later have the branding added - probably an attempt to stop reverse moulding by fakie manufacturers. Lily Blossom is the only pony or set to come with a white swan so perhaps the first 3 come from early Lily Blossoms and the 4th comes with the re release of Lily Blossom [when she was packaged with luggage Apple Jack]?
