We have a thread about the favorite pony of your birth year, so let's reverse that a bit here.
You have a favorite pony (or perhaps several). How old were you when that pony first hit shelves. For the purposes of this, we are going with the first release globally, and variants/nirvana are considered the same pony (though you can state if you have a favorite version). Ponies that are name recycles are considered different ponies (like unicorn Twilight and SS pegasus Twilight), just specify.
If you want to list more than one, feel free within reason.
Anyway, have fun.
As for me, I was a grand total of 1 when Wind Whistler came out. Though, her "Movie Star" version is my favorite and came out a year or two later.
-
Baby Squirmy would have come out on shelves by 1988, but I definitely would have been only buying secondhand G1s by that point so... yeah...
-
I was about -4 years old when Steamer came out. I was born in 1990 and he was released in 1986 I think.
-
I would have been 2. Barnacle was released in 1987/88. Didn't actually own him until I was in my 20s :)
-
Moondancer came out in '83, so I would have been 6.
-
Wind Whistler was released in 1985/1986. So I would've been two or three. :)
-
Bluebelle came out for Christmas 1982, so I would have been 2 1/2. :) I never got a Bluebelle as a kid, and my first Bluebelle was one of the white ones!
-
G4 Pinkie Pie was released around the same time FiM first premiered in Oct 2010, so I would have been 19.
-
I was 6 when Sunbeam and Seashell were released. I'm not actually sure which G1 is my favorite since I like so many of them.
However, I was 26 when Sunny Daze was released and she's my favorite G3, no doubt.
-
Fluttershy is my favourite pony :) so here's how old I was with each incarnation:
G1 Posey -> -7 (I wasn't even born yet :P)
G3 Fluttershy -> 11 (I wasn't into My Little Pony yet)
G4 Fluttershy -> 18 (I got my first ponies, a G4 Rarity and a G4 Fluttershy when I was 20. I mainly got interested in them after I watched the show, then I became a fan of collecting the ponies more than I was a fan of the show itself :D)
-
I think I was about 9-10 when So soft Surprise and baby surprise came out. :) Those were some fond memories playing with them.
-
All of my favourite G1s were released before my time, so as for ponies that were released in my lifetime...
The mini MacDonalds version of Princess Silver Swirl came out when I was 8 and in regard to G3s, Cloud Climber and Desert Palm were both released when I was 14.
-
I only go by the years ponies were released in my childhood here in the UK. I have three favourite years...
1986 had Snowflake and Gypsy, as well as the first Twinkle Eyes here.
1987 had 2nd set flutters, Mountain Boys, Princesses with Dragons and Newborn Twins. It also had Magic Star, who I was obsessed with as a kid.
1988 had Party Ponies :D
In global terms, both my pony namesake, Taffeta, and Mimic, who I love a lot too, were released in 1988 and 1987, coincidentally ;)
I was 4 in 1986, 5 in 1987 and 6 in 1988. The perfect age for ponies :)
-
My favorites are and will always be the original Snuzzle and Minty, though there are many others that I adore, so I think I would've been between 4 and 5 when they came out and when I got them. (still have them too and love them as much as the first day I got them)
-
I was 4 in 1986, 5 in 1987 and 6 in 1988. The perfect age for ponies :)
so we are the same age :)
My favourite pony is Fizzy, she was released in year four 1985/1986 and I was about 4 years old then. Well, Im Germany she hit stores in 1987 and I first saw her when I was five :P
My other favourites, or better to say my favourite ponies as a kid that I owned (I never owned Fizzy as a kid), were Sugar Sweet and Sugar Apple, they were released in 1988/1989 and I bet it was around the end of 1989 when they reached Germany. I was almost 8 then.
-
Let's see... I'll do favourites for my favourite generations...
(G1) SA Heart Throb - Assuming she came out at the same time as the US version (1984-85) I would've been -12....
(G2) Copper Glow - She came out in 2001 so I was four.
(G3) Waterfire - She came out in 2005 so I was like... Eight?
I still don't own any of them :cry:
-
Negative... seven? Star Hopper is older than me :P
G2 was my childhood generation. I'd have been about 5 or so when my fave Princess Crystal was released, though I never had her as a kid.
-
Twinkler is my favourite pony, and I would have been 9 or 10 when she was released.
-
I was 4 when Gusty was released. I never had her as a child, but she was my favorite from the TV series, and now I have an army of her. ^-^
-
apple jack 1984 so i would have been 4 :)
-
Fun idea!
1983-1984 Starshine- I would've been 2-3 years old.
1986-1987 Quackers(my favorite childhood pony)- I would have been 5-6 years old.
-
1983-84. Depending on when I bought Moondancer and Firefly, my first two ponies, I was probably around 11 years old.
-
Favorite G1 - or one of em LOL is Minty she came out in '82/83
Favorite G3 - Minty she came out in 2003
I was born in 1960, do the math, I am admitting nothing...
-
eh my first pony love was and always will be my first pony glory. I got her after i got out of the hospital as a lil kid for birth defect correction opperations. So i guess that would have been 1984 ish?
-

At the very least, you're not the only one who started collecting in their twenties.
-
G1 I was 3 when Fizzy was released though I didn't get her till I was 9 or 10 from my best friend.
G3 I was 22 when Tropical Surprise was released.
-
Well, my favorite pony Strawberry Surprise was released 87/88 and I was born 1986 but I didn't get her until around 91/92.
-
I have three childhood favorites and endless favorites as an adult, so I'll just do the childhood ones.
VHS Firefly was released when I was 3 or 4.
Goldilocks was released when I was 2 or 3.
Coco Berry was released when I was around 1? I have no idea why I had her but I just got her in the mail today and I absolutely know this smell and I DID have her as a child somehow. Flea market or yard sale, maybe?
-
Tex was released in 1986, so I was, uhh... negative five years old. ;) Ha ha ha! My favourite pony from after I was born would be G3 Periwinkle from 2004, so I would have been 13 and far more interested in collecting video games.
-
G1 Sundance: I was 2, when she was first released.
G3 Minty: I was 21, when she was first released.
G4 Fluttershy: I was 28, when she was first released.
Of course I wasn't into ponies until I was 29, so all of above happened before that.
-
Wind Whistler? Not born yet. :P
Pretty Parlor with Ivy was released in 1998, and I got it at after-Christmas sales then so I was 9 when I fell in love with her. :lovey:
-

Nope, was busy being a full time model shower back then. I did not get into them until my 1st grader got interested in ponies. She was born in 1996.
-
I don't know if I have a definitive favorite right now. o.o
G3 Candy Cane was released when I was 14 going on 15.
G3 Jazz Matazz was released when I was 16.
-
I wasn't born when SS Lofty or any of the TEs came out.
-
2011 was the year any version of Princess Luna was released in stores; I would've been 18 at the time.
