Do you have her? What do you think of her? Share some more pics!


I've had a few opportunities to pick her up secondhand, but I passed each time. I like the idea of her and all but don't really want her.

I have her and her lobster dress but I took it off of her. She still looks pretty though. :) I like how her eyes blink and she has a decent symbol too which is very pretty.

I found her at the flea market in fully working condition, with excellent hair! I love her dress, it reminds me of a character from a show (whose existence is kind of a spoiler, so she won't be named lol) but I do wish she'd also gotten a normal and less gimmicky release (like the short-haired, 3d symbol Rarity) after the first one so people could better appreciate her pretty design. Her symbol and colors are lovely.

This! But I love her. She sits at the top of my G3 shelves. But...I once saw an animation thing where she was batting her eyes at someone and it was just so funny.

I have her! I have two, actually; one still has her dress and the other is "naked". She's a really pretty pony; love her symbol!

She was my third pony ever, and the Queen of my G3 herd  ^.^ I love her, although I agree with the comments that she's a bit gaudy  :lol:

I found her at a church sale, and she still works too.

I don't like her lobster dress, but once you take it off you can see her beautiful symbol!  (Taking it off requires cutting wires and permanently disabling the dress' light-up function, though.)

I really like her eyes.  MUCH better than the creepy glass BBE ponies' eyes.  If they'd made them "cartoony" like Lily Lightly's I'd like them a lot more.  I've always felt her animated short ("Come Back, Lily Lightly") made a good metaphor for coming out, whether that's what the writers intended or not, lol.

I didn't buy her when she was new, but last year I found her at goodwill and couldn't pass her up.

I'm not a fan. I don't really like clothes you can't remove and I find the eyes a little weird. But as a regular pony she'd be cute.

I used to have her back in the day since she was a present, but honestly she was too gimmicky for me, I like simpler ponies >>

I don't have her and I don't really plan on getting her. :) She's alright, though! Just wish they made a normal figure of her. :)

I've heard of her, but I think this is the first time I've actually seen her.

I tried to find it on Youtube, but it was only available with brony commentaries . . . no thanks, lol!

The basic plot is:

Lily Lightly is in charge of the Festival of Lights (or something like that) in Unicornia.  Rarity the baby unicorn is helping, but gets sidetracked because she'd rather laugh with her unicorn friends than work. (Song: Get the Giggles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27O05YvhHlM).) At the end of the song Lily Lightly laughs too, and her happiness causes her horn to light up.   She quickly makes up an excuse to leave.  Rarity and the others are left surprised and confused because they've never seen a) Lily's horn light up and b) any other unicorn's horn light up either. One of the unicorns comments that she has never seen Lily Lightly happy before.  Wow!  DEPRESSING.

In a nearby field, a friendly firefly listens as Lily explains that none of the other unicorns have this "problem" (the horn-glowing) and it makes her feel abnormal and isolated.  (Song: Shine On (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJWZiZRi2oQ).)  "It's a little hard for me 'cause I'm different as can be.  I don't know what they'll think of me when I show them I shine . . . I want to be like everyone, have the usual kind of fun.  Every day in my heart I hope it'll be okay."

She ends up either getting lost or running away, I can't remember which, and the other ponies look for her.  (Including Pinkie Pie and Minty, who are visiting from Ponyville.)  The other unicorns figure out that Lily Lightly is upset / embarrassed about her horn glowing, so they wrap lights around their own horns to show Lily that they support her and don't think she's weird.  Lily gets her lobster dress (lol) and the story ends on a happy note.

A lot of people have aspects of their life or themselves that they're embarrassed about, but what made me think "wow, I'm getting a real LGBT vibe from this" was that Lily Lightly wasn't troubled by having a unusual hobby or a birthmark or something, but rather by something intrinsic and biological, yet invisible.  She doesn't choose to light up her horn, it just happened when she's happy; so she tries to pass as "normal" even though it means having the constant, gnawing fear of being found out and denying herself happiness.  It sounded a lot like being in the closet to me.  Also that song (Shine On).  Wow, that was a heck of an anxiety-ridden song for normally peppy G3.

Have two of her, one with nice hair and no dress, and one with a dress but with horrible hair.
I don't really like her. Her hard plastic body is a big no for me.

Pass, she'd almost be pretty, but blinky eyes are a no-no in my herd.
