Of these, Parasol was the only one I had in my childhood. It's kind of odd that I picked her as pink isn't my most favorite of colors. I think I like them mostly equally, but they also are not my favorite set.

Maybe if I had a Starshine in my possession, she'd be my favorite with her sun symbol. :) :sunny:

Sky Dancer for me! I cannot resist a yellow pony :heart:

Have to vote for Starshine; she was my very firs pony when I was 3 or 4. Still love a classic white pegasus with rainbow hair!

I love these ladies. One day they'll all be mine <3

Starshine is my favorite by far.  There is just something magical about a white horse with rainbow hair.  The most perfect of combinations!  Every little girl's dream horse!   :biggrin:

I picked Moonstone! I like her :)

Tough choice! I love Sunlight, Windy, Moonstone, and Parasol evenly. :heart: I finally chose Sunlight. It was really between her and Moonstone.

Skydancer! Yellow pony with rainbow hair, what more could I ask for? :P

I voted Sunlight - I like the blue and I have a fondness for that pose.   :) That said, I don't actually own any of them.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Honey Bunches on July 29, 2014, 08:12:47 AM

I voted Starshine although it's really a tie with Sky Dancer for me!!
Both have my favorite color schemes - white with rainbow and yellow with rainbow.

And they're both pegs!   :biggrin:

Parasol

Difficult choice between Moonstone and Starshine but I think I like Moonstone more

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow

Moonstone.  It's the planets.  :)

soo hard! they're all way to pretty ( I only ever owned windy) ummmm....Starshine

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: princessluna11706 on July 29, 2014, 09:24:06 AM

This was very hard for me, as I love Parasol, Skydancer and Starshine..but in the end I wound up voting for Starshine.  Nothing like a minty white pony, especially with mint glitter :heart:

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: otocolobus_manul on July 29, 2014, 09:45:50 AM

While I like Starshine 's design the best, Sunlight was my first ever g1 pony, so she'll always hold a special place in my heart.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Sweet Tooth on July 29, 2014, 09:49:28 AM

I picked Windy! ^.^
I just love her and I think that when it's not faded, her purple body looks really pretty with her mane colors.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: sparkykandy on July 29, 2014, 09:53:31 AM

Just based on looks, I have to go with Starshine.  Her white body makes for a nice contrast against her multicolored mane.  That and her cutie mark is visually more appealing than Windy's.  Overall, I just find her whole entire aesthetic visually appealing to look at. 

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Emberfly on July 29, 2014, 10:04:34 AM

This is so hard for me.  I chose Starshine because I love white ponies so much, but I love them all so very very much.  This is one of my absolute top sets.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Sprinklecupcake on July 29, 2014, 10:25:12 AM

Somwhere over the Rainbow...Dash? Thread need more Rainbow Dash! Trollolololoolll

Definitly Starshine!! When Im ready to collect G1 shes near the top of my list of wants!

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Ledbyrd on July 29, 2014, 10:28:11 AM

I picked Sunlight. I love her pose and symbol the best. They are all lovely ponies though so this was a tough choice!

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: SkyCakes on July 29, 2014, 10:59:50 AM

I think I like Moonstone. I always loved her colors. Her and Starshine are my favorites.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Strzyga on July 29, 2014, 11:33:40 AM

of course Parasol  ^.^

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Shenanigans on July 29, 2014, 11:35:50 AM

Tough choice between Windy and Moonstone but I chose Windy because she reminds me of a dear friend ^.^

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Navi on July 29, 2014, 11:42:05 AM

So hard to pick between Starshine and Moondancer! I love Starshine's happy face though.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: icecreamgirl on July 29, 2014, 11:45:46 AM

Hard to choose! but went for Parasol as she is the only Rainbow I had as a child and I'm a sucker for pink ponies!  :biggrin:

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Whippycorn on July 29, 2014, 11:57:54 AM

Ooh this was a tough one, because they are all so beautiful. My two favourites are Moonstone and Parasol. Moonstone is one of my childhood ponies but there's just something about Parasol.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: CoonhoundBetty on July 29, 2014, 12:00:37 PM

This was so hard! LOL by far the hardest poll for me, as these are my *favorite* G1 group.

Sunlight, followed by Parasol as a super-close second!

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Doedeardarling on July 29, 2014, 12:39:15 PM

I picked Sky Dancer, I remember her being super cute in Escape from Katrina.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Griffin on July 29, 2014, 12:48:21 PM

I go with Sunlight, I like Parasol a lot too but Sunlight's blue coat is what makes it for me. All of them are pretty, though!

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Miniature Sheep on July 29, 2014, 01:07:30 PM

Windy! She was one of my favourites when I was a kid and she's still one of my favourites now; her colours are fabulous and I love the abstract look of her symbol. That said, all of the rainbow ponies are gorgeous. :D

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Ponyfan on July 29, 2014, 01:10:21 PM

I had Moonstone and Starshine in my childhood collection. I still have Moonstone but I no longer have Starshine. :( I do have a G4 custom Starshine from someone here at the Arena, but I want to get another G1 of her someday. I think I'm going to have to vote for Starshine.

It's a toss up between moonstone and sunlight for me.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Sora on July 29, 2014, 01:24:43 PM

I'm gonna go with Sunlight. Such a gorgeous color scheme!

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: LivioKelem on July 29, 2014, 01:24:57 PM

Moonstone. So enigmatic and cold  :blush:

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Juliepants on July 29, 2014, 01:26:23 PM

I had five of these beauts as a child, I completed the set a couple of years ago. I went with parasol as my fave, but sunlight comes in close, and moonstone as well!

I had Windy in my childhood collection but I have chosen Sunlight as my favourite of the six :)

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Elisto on July 29, 2014, 02:14:00 PM

Sky Dancer, easily.

I'm usually all about blue ponies and space-themed ponies, but for whatever reason, Sky Dancer's colors are just perfect to me, and her symbol is so unique, while the others just somehow seem boring.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: SpookyTrees on July 29, 2014, 02:22:00 PM

I love all the rainbow ponies!!!! Parasol is my fave. I currently have only Windy and Sunlight.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: DazzleKitty on July 29, 2014, 02:25:11 PM

Gonna have to go with Moonstone. :)

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: ringwraith10 on July 29, 2014, 02:56:54 PM

Starshine, because she was my first pony ever. I think I was 2 or 3 when I got her, and I still have her! :)

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Kiwi on July 29, 2014, 03:13:14 PM

Had to pick Moonstone - she's one of my childhood ponies :heart:

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: DireRabbit on July 29, 2014, 03:53:19 PM

I would have definitely picked Confetti if the others were listed here, but instead I chose Sunlight. I love that light blue color.  ^.^

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: TWILIGHTCOOKIE on July 29, 2014, 04:43:50 PM

Sky Dancer is the prettiest imo, so i picked her. For nostalgia sake it would be Parasol.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Haruna on July 29, 2014, 05:50:41 PM

I love Starshine's color scheme, but I had to pick Skydancer. Mine was a boy -- a prankster who loved to laugh. He also had a mohawk (he had it when I got him) . . . When I got a prettier one, she became his twin sister. So I just have a soft spot for that pony. :)

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: ponycake on July 29, 2014, 06:08:48 PM

Windy... then Moonstone.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Pheasant on July 29, 2014, 06:27:26 PM

Man, that was difficult to choose! I had to go with Sky Dancer, I love his* symbol.

*boy in my herd

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: SubmarineHallucination on July 29, 2014, 06:31:33 PM

I'm torn between Parasol, Windy, and Moonstone. I really love Skydancer too. I picked Parasol because her pose is so sweet and perfect for her.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Summer-blade on July 29, 2014, 08:00:30 PM

Windy
She's purple, she's a unicorn and the symbol what's not to love?

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: faeriesblood on July 29, 2014, 08:19:20 PM

Moonstone 5ever  ^.^

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: brightberry on July 29, 2014, 08:37:05 PM

For me, it has to be Skydancer.  She's one of my all time favorites.  I love her bird symbol and her rainbow hair really pops on her yellow body.  Plus, I still remember taking her to the park and twirling 'round and round with her against the sky.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: TwistedRiver on July 29, 2014, 09:16:31 PM

I love them all but had to give Windy my vote, her and Twilight were my first unicorn ponies and both of them will always have a special place in my heart.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: princess on July 29, 2014, 10:17:47 PM

I like some of their color schemes better, but Moonstone has the whole space theme going on, so I've gotta go with her.  Plus she's the only one of them I own aha.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: hilamb on July 29, 2014, 10:30:47 PM

Moonstone. :)

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Bibinettepony on July 29, 2014, 11:36:54 PM

 >_< hard choice I love so much rainbow ponies !!! ok I have voted : Parasol, then it would be sunlight and then Moonstone. ;)

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Katika on July 30, 2014, 04:38:17 AM

I love love love Sunlight and can't really explain why!  She's one of the G1s that most appeals to me, but I can't tell if it's because of her color scheme or her pose.  She's also the first G1 that I bought after I began collecting (yes, because she appealed to me, not just by chance), so that might have something to do with my fondness for her :)

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: daccar on July 30, 2014, 06:45:54 PM

This was very difficult....
I like them all and its impossible to choose....
So, I voted Parasol but could vote all the others as well...
  :lovey: :lovey: :lovey:

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: ponycake on July 30, 2014, 08:20:52 PM

Poor Windy. I think that faded body color picture of her doesn't do her justice. :P

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: MoondancerMilkyWay on July 30, 2014, 09:53:56 PM

Parasol was my first pony, so I had to vote for her. I don't remember most of the others as a kid but I had parasol and loved her. She was grandma pony...

Side note, I may have some of these girls for sale....

Moonstone!

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Mermaid on July 31, 2014, 12:12:04 AM

That was devastatingly hard! I ultimately chose starshine, but this is one of my favorite sets! Sunlight was a close second.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Elfpony on July 31, 2014, 09:04:11 AM

Seems like this was a tough choice for a lot of us.  I had to pick Skydancer in the end.  She just looks so cheerful and happy, she makes me happy every time I look at her.

Post by: Ren-Ren on July 31, 2014, 09:20:19 AM

Wow, I can't believe Windy is in last place! Just goes to show how beautiful this whole line is. I picked her, but it was a tough choice between her and Sunlight. Love Starshine's white and symbol, but I've never liked that pose.

As a kid I always called Sky Dancer "Peabody" because she was yellow (even though the spelling doesn't work out right, heh). I do like her a lot now, though.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: shimmlight on July 31, 2014, 09:25:28 AM

Moonstone, she was my first G1 :)

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Loona on July 31, 2014, 11:35:31 AM

it was hard to choose between Sky Dancer and Starshine (one of my favourite poses), but Sky Dancer won in the end.
normally I don't like yellow that much, but when it comes to ponies it is one of my favourite body colours, and to me it seems to go better with the rainbow hair colours. still, Starshine is a close second.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: VanillaBean on July 31, 2014, 12:50:53 PM

Sunlight!  ^.^
She's such an adorable little beauty, & my only rainbow pony so far.
I should own Starshine as well, but she got lost in the mail. :<

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: aluke on July 31, 2014, 01:24:18 PM

I went with Sky Dancer. Something about that yellow with a rainbow mane just makes her pop. Plus, you can never go wrong with bird related symbols.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Beldarna on July 31, 2014, 01:26:38 PM

Sky Dancer. It's the name. Dancing in the sky, how cool is that? I also have a weakness for her pose.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow

Starshine is a childhood pony!

Oh Starshine, how I adore thee...

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Ringlets on August 01, 2014, 04:14:07 AM

This was definitely another tough choice :yikes:
In the end I chose Starshine - I love the pose and the colours- but mostly because she was the first of this set that I ever saw in person when i was a kid. she was my best friends pony and we used to play for hours with our herd (we joined herds and both bought ponies together when we had enough money and were a bit older)  - Starshine and sprinkles (who belonged to me) were best buddies and they were a bit like Rainbow dash is in FIM ..but ....my friend had Starshine stolen and it upset us both so much.. I've often wondered about buying her a replacement over the years ..but we lost contact :(  I know its a sad story but there are lots of happy memories attached to Starshine and to my friend too so I still like her the best of the rainbow ponies

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow

 :blush: such a story Ringlets ! Thanks for sharing. But you are right you have to remember only very good moments  ;)

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: Pegaso80 on August 01, 2014, 02:30:30 PM

I really love this set, the only one I have completed so far, even I have some doubles. I chose Moonstone because of the blue body and the planets and the pose and she's a unicorn... :lovey: but Windy is very beautiful as well, I love her symbol. 

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: gemini_pony on August 01, 2014, 03:26:12 PM

Moonstone for me, even though Parasol is a close second.

Title: Re: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Post by: snwbear24 on August 04, 2014, 01:50:00 PM

Starshine and Sky Dancer for me I love them both!
