Title: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: Sunshine on May 04, 2013, 11:10:23 AM
What I mean is... are there any ponies whose faded pink hair (to white) you think looks... just as good or better than their original factory pink hair?

For me... I have a couple...

Steamer - I'm sorry but his contrast between the White/green hair and his body really strikes me. I don't like him MORE than with pink hair, but, I don't think white is a bad look for him.

Hippity Hop - WHEN deflocked - I think the white hair looks a lot better with her white bunnies than the light pink does... I like her with pink hair more when flocked, so soft and delicate, but with her magenta body, I gotta say I like white...

Fancy Flower - I saw a thread about a fading Fancy Flower who's mane and tail hadn't just gone light pink, but both were completely white, as was her earring! There was something striking about her this way... again, I don't like her more than with BRIGHT pink hair like factory, but it was very interesting...

Tornado - Yes I know my grail is to own a pink hair Tornado, but c'mon... his white hair matches his white symbol... I think it's a win.

That's who came to mind for me...
Anyone else have any ponies who they don't mind so much with white hair?

I think Flower Bouquet looks really good with white hair! :D

I do not mind Steamer with faded hair, he's pretty no matter what! I definitely think Tornado looks better with white hair, the pink looks a bit odd with the rest of him. I also love Hippity Hop with faded hair, much more striking, especially with a deflock. I will probably think of someone else later... :)

There are some ponies I definitely prefer with faded hair, mostly the ones whose body is pink to begin with.
Weirdly, I think I prefer Fancy Flower with faded hair as well. The pink just kinda kills the whole soft, pastely feel of her

I really like TAF baby Up Up and Away better with white hair. For the longest time, I thought she was suppose to have white hair  :blush:

I agree with Steamer!  He looks so dapper with white hair.

I adore all the fading pink ponies 100 times more when they are white! I haven't come across a single one that I like better in in pink.  Yum Yum, Tornado and twilight ate my favorites.

Yum yum looks amazing with a white body and white hair. Something about that monochrome with spots of red is just so lovely to me.

Tornado, I agree with all the above comments, white is the winner.

and my grail of grails is a perfectly deflocked Twilight with Stark white hair. She's so beautiful with white hair.

I didn't realise that French Bowtie was supposed to have pink hair up until recently!  I think (in the hopeful event I one day add her to my collection  :P) I would prefer her with white hair, as it looks so different and pretty.

I have two G3 Minty's, one has faded hair and I think she actually looks better than the unfaded one.

Definitely! I was actually surprised to find that my DnW Snookums originally had pink hair, it looks so nice white!

I agree with the above statements that most ponies that have faded pink hair look better that way. This is one of the things as a collector that doesn't bother me at all :) I imagine there are some collectors that hate faded hair and have it as a pet peeve. Not me though ;)
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: Jinxxy on May 04, 2013, 02:34:20 PM
My NSS Wind Whistler :)
I think French Bowtie looks nice with the white hair too for some reason.

Other than that once exception I prefer them all to have the pink hair they were intended to have.. (The pinker the better!!)

Post by: PitterPatter on May 04, 2013, 02:47:51 PM
I don't mind either way. But I prefer it to be one or the other.

The weird, in between colours stage makes me cringe a bit. My g3 styling Pinkie is almost all white except for bits in her tail that didn't get the sunlight because it was in a plait. It's soooooooooo annoying! lol

There are a number of ponies I think look prettier with white instead of fading pink.  Lickety-Split comes to mind (too much pink overall!), I'd love to have a Sweet Sundrop all in white too.  I prefer Baby Cotton Candy with white hair over pink, it matches her symbols. n-n

I do really like hippity hop with white hair...
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: hathorcat on May 04, 2013, 04:05:58 PM
I will admit that I prefer the pink on most of the ponies mentioned so far...but the exception to that would be Lickety Split. I do agree that I think she looks nicer with while hair.
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?

I really like Desert Rose with white hair...white hair, white body, tinsel...lovely!
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: Sui-Kaede on May 05, 2013, 06:16:34 AM
I own a faded Posey and love her so much ! I think that white really suits her and makes it easier to not confuse her with Fluttershy.
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: Sunshine on May 05, 2013, 07:57:56 AM
Ooooh there have been a bunch mentioned that I also totally agree with....

Baby Cotton Candy for sure - the white of her symbol and white hair can be lovely! Lickety Split too, and I've seen a couple Posey's where her flowers have faded to white, and with white hair, it's pretty interesting color combo and works for her! I didn't know Tornado was supposed to even have pink hair until a few years ago, so - yeah some of them look pretty normal with white hair!

Some of the ones mentioned I haven't seen in white - like G3 Desert Rose, but I can imagine! I love that pony... but haven't seen a "monotone" version of her, I bet it's awesome!

I do agree with the "half fading" being odd! I've had some like that too, when I wash their hair and defrizz it you can really see that like, one chunk of the hair is much pinker than another... just randomness in sunlight exposure I guess?
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: Rachel-Eyes on May 05, 2013, 08:15:56 AM
I have a Love Melody with a touch of pink in her tail and a pretty white mane. I think it suits her. :lovey: It matches her symbols and it just looks lovely.

I think the one I'd actually seek out in white rather than pink would be Flurry. Pink-haired Flurry is still pretty, but with her white hair she looks way more wintery and it matches the symbol better.

Bunny Hop is another one that I own in white and didn't know was supposed to be pink. I love her that way!

I have a faded Steamer and I keep forgetting that his hair was originally pink!

I usually prefer the original pink, but Baby Nightsong looks pretty cute in all white (mine still has just a tiny bit of pink in her hair). With the tinsel she looks like she could be related to Princess Tiffany.

I do agree Tornado looks so much better with whte hair than pink. I find he looks manlier with white hair too. lol

As for other ponies....

Kisscurl - I always thought she looked like another Posey, but once she has white hair, she's a whole new character to me.
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: Rosencrantz on May 05, 2013, 09:39:58 PM
Total agree about Fancy Flower. She's one I'd like to get white haired.
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: VanillaBean on May 06, 2013, 03:09:11 AM
Definitely Flurry, Lickity-split, Hippity Hop & Wind Whistler. :)
I'm on the fence about SS Twilight. I think white would only suit her if she was deflocked, that would make a lovely contrast.

I think Flower Bouquet looks really good with white hair! :D

Me too! I rescued mine from a charity shop but I think she's lovely!

Yes! I was just thinking this the other day. I think Lickity-split looks real lovely with white hair, it matches her ice-creams :D But then in a way, having the pink hair makes the ice-creams stand out more... tough call!  :blush:

P.S. Sunlight-Lapin your Flower Bouquet is beautiful! ^.^

Sunspot seems to look better with white than with pink.
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?

Sunspot seems to look better with white than with pink.

SDS I'd agree with that... I finally got one who's got her original PINK mane and PINK tail... honestly, I was like "Oh, well, so that's what she's "supposed" to look like I guess" - but I am so used to seeing her with white hair, it makes the tinsel stand out more on her...
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: josiekat on May 06, 2013, 10:57:10 AM
I think on most ponies I prefer the white to the pink. Up Up and Away being the one that comes to mind first. I think she is gorgeous with white hair, and thought she was like that originally. When I found out she was a fading pink pony, I was horrified to think that she had hair that was any color other than white. lol.
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: little.fox on May 06, 2013, 11:00:36 AM
I'm not a huge fan of pink, so I pretty much always prefer if the hair has faded to white. I'm weird like that.
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: Skeen on May 06, 2013, 11:13:25 AM
Up Up & Away.  I remember seeing the commercial for her when I was really young and wanting her because her dark body and WHITE hair made her look like a palomino.  I was SO disappointed when I got her and she had pink hair.

Now it's the opposite though - ponies with pink hair better have pink hair if they want to stay in my collection, lol!

I originally though Mimic had a white stripe and I made adoptables of her that way for a little while. I eventually realized it was pink.

I hate pink, especially pastel pink - white is so much better...especially on taf sundance

Post by: Sandi on May 06, 2013, 11:53:02 AM
I prefer pink hair in most cases, but I do have quite a few white haired ponies in my collection. I'm thinking about trying to re-pink some of them.

Awww...thanks! Yes, she was in quite a state when I found her and I've tried everything I can think of to sort out her hair but nothing has really worked! It was so matted and frizzy when I found her but I think she looks presentable now  :lol:
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: tulagirl on May 07, 2013, 10:46:19 AM
Yes I have found I do enjoy the white hair on many of them more than the pink.  Especially Yum Yum Taf.
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?

I really like Tornado and NSS Wind Whistler with faded white hair. The blue with the white makes them look wintery. :)

Ooh ooh I thought of another pony, who I haven't actually seen like this but... I was cleaning up my Satin 'n Lace's today, Magenta and normal (and SS) - and I just thought, WOW wouldn't the magenta one (especially) look really awesome with white hair to match her white bells??

If anyone has a photo of any of the Satin 'n Lace's with white hair I'd love to see it!  :lol:

I prefer Steamer and Tornado with white hair. I mean, come on pink is a little too feminine for these two manly boys! There are enough ponies with pink hair. I'm not a pink fan, so I definitely think at least these two should have had white hair to begin with.
Title: Re: Anyone like WHITE hair ponies more than pink?
Post by: Ice Crystal on May 08, 2013, 11:51:59 AM
Totally agree on Tornado. I was surprised when I found out he is actually meant to have a pink stripe.

The white Fizzy Pop (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,330297.0.html) thread that's been going on lately. It's lovely!

Since white hair is so rare on ponies nowadays, white hair gives ponies a nostalgic look that I love. But the pale pink is sweet too. I guess the solution is to get both? :lol:

Confession time, the first photo of a SS Sundance I saw was so yellowed I thought she had Posey's color scheme. I was almost disappointed to find out the truth...  :blush:
