Title: Pony Bride With Different Cutie Mark Rarity?
Post by: WaterDraw on April 04, 2018, 09:27:40 PM
I have a pony bride who doesn't have the typical two doves cutie mark (I could try to post a picture if you need a pic of it). I don't really hear much about her and I mostly, if not always, hear about the pony bride with the two doves cutie mark. My pony's cutie mark is a heart with a bouquet over the heart and I believe I heard somewhere that this was the later release but I'm not sure. Is one rarer than the other, or can someone just give me any information about these two ponies? Thank you!

There were four wedding ponies. Satin n Lace(who has several versions), Pony Bride, Bridal Beauty, and Tux n Tails/ Coat n Tails. It sounds like your wedding pony is Bridal Beauty.

As far as I know, her and Pony Bride are fairly common. Tux n Tails and certain versions of Satin n Lace are harder to find and can be somewhat pricey

Yep! That's her. Thank you so much for letting me know. I knew I heard of her somewhere, I just couldn't remember where.

Five, technically. You forgot Wedding Bells Confetti in that list.

I think Hasbro were a bit lazy with the whole Pony Bride/Bridal Beauty thing, as the ponies are very similar. They did take the time to give them different accessories, though.

Yep, sounds like Bridal Beauty.  :)  She's a lot rarer than Pony Bride.

uh what?  G1s don't have cutie marks, they have symbols .  cutie mark is a G3/G4 term.

it's a technicality ;)

I mean, if we're getting technical then G1s don't have symbols either, they have "rump markings" and G2s have "rump designs".  Symbol is not a canon term.

Everytime someone reminds me that Hasbro called them "rump markings" it brings up a whole slew of fun musical numbers.  Like "Hump de Bump" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  And "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas.  And don't forget "Shake Your Rump" by the Beastie Boys.  And "Rump Shaker" by Wreckx-N-Effect !!!! 

Oh geez my age is showing again... ;)  *shakes a fakie at pedestrians from her porch*

Question that's on topic I think - for US people in general. Is Bridal Beauty significantly rarer in the US because she was part of the final year there?

I don't know that there's a difference here but I haven't really looked because I don't like either of them. My sister has both of them but she had Bridal Beauty from new so I don't remember ever looking for one at a carboot sale.

I would personally expect that her veil is more difficult to find because the bead strap strip of plastic snaps easily. Pony Bride has a nicer one, though.

Shake that rump!

I remember when G2 came out the "rump design" on their packaging made me think of ponies who had had their butts shaped with liposuction.

@Taffeta  IMO yes, it is because she was part of the final year.  All the ponies from that year are pretty hard to find (especially in the wild).

I think it's the Magic Message ponies here that have 'rump marking' on their card...

And @LM, interesting. Thanks for the info. Here she was out in 1993 I think, because she has the lurid pink box, not the nice sophisticated silver bordered box of her predecessor, and ponies from that year are not so hard to find as the ones from 1994 (our final year), but most of them didn't come out in the US and that's made them seem rarer overall. Birthday (10th Anniversary) Pony is another who did the same and I've noticed she seems to be getting more sought after too, so I wondered if there was a connection, even though they're not regionally exclusive.

Most of the last year of US release didn't get to the UK, although they did get to other places, so it can be easy to kind of overlook the few that did and figure out where they fit in.
