Title: Favourite princess pony?
Post by: promqueen on July 17, 2020, 12:36:16 AM
Mine is easily princess tiffany. I adore the locket pose and feel she looks like the prettiest princess!

Tiffany as well for me. I liked her in Quest of the Princess Ponies, and her mostly-white color scheme works pretty well! She was also my first Princess Pony.

Princess Tiffany, I like her in Quest of the Princess Ponies but I don’t like the pose she is in. Hence why I’m doing a custom alternative Surprise pose custom.

I'll be very interested to see her!!  I love princess Tiffany!

I actually picked Serena for this, but I've always loved Tiffany despite her pose.

I would have said Tiffany, because I liked her in the show, her white-on-white coloring with silver is pretty, and she is the only princess pony I have ever owned. But I really can't stand her pose, and feel like it doesn't reflect her TV personality very well at all. So I picked Sparkle, since although judging by the 'least favorite' poll results, I'm in the extreme minority, I love her pose; it looks regal, as royalty should be! And while her colors would seem blah on a regular pony, the tinsel does them enough justice that she pulls it off. I hope to acquire her someday.

I like Sparkle the best. Her colours are great and I think she had the best singing voice in the show.

My favorite from the 1st is Princess Tiffany/Pearl.   Princess Taffeta is my favorite from the 2nd set.

Starburst, closely followed by Tiffany. I always loved her voice and her sassy attitude.

Serena and Tiffany. :) Heh, the 'real name' duo.

(I always got a kick out of Serena's name. She's the Sailor Moon pony :P)

Huh, I just realized, I view the second set of princesses like I do with the second set of Flutters... they're kind of garishly coloured? And there's something about them that just doesn't do it for me. Weird.

Princess Pearl.

She always has been and always will be, even if I do use the name Taffeta. Taffeta is my favourite 2nd set but nobody beats Pearl.

I still can't stand the way she and the others are presented in the Quest of the Princess Ponies though.
And I'm not keen on the name Tiffany. I went to school with a really annoying Tiffany.


Sailor Moon's name is really Usagi :P >.>

Their lack of maturity was actually one of the things I always liked about them the most.

I grew up with the comics. There's literally only one pony personality for me that the tv show does better than the comics and that's Wind Whistler.

But I'm also gonna say that it's entirely my opinion. However, I'm allowed to have that opinion without someone jumping in on me every time I say it like it's somehow a problem.

I'm not telling anyone else to agree with me.  I'm just saying that I dislike it.

But having had to write the same answer to that same question literally every time the princess pony subject comes up, this time I'm just going to say I like the comics better.

It would be interesting to know if other people who had the comics as a kid feel the same or differently about it, but otherwise, the subject is kind of redundant now.

I chose Princess Pristina as she was my childhood Princess pony. I still remember picking her out at Toys R Us. I was drawn to her color scheme and thought she was really pretty.

Post by: Ponybookworm on July 17, 2020, 04:12:17 PM
Well I both read the comics AND saw Quest Of The Princess Ponies as a youngster, so had both perspectives growing up.

I get why the show had them acting like they did, teaching girls to be more inclusive of each other & think of others besides yourself, but honestly I agree: the comic versions rock socks.
It's quite possible after their cartoon experience they discovered their comic powers as a reward...

To be honest, though, I genuinely don't want any part of Tiffany anywhere near Pearl's sensitive artist persona. I fell completely for her as a five year old because of that, and I genuinely don't want to think of her ever being a spoiled brat.

(I never saw Quest of the PP till I was maybe 13 or 14.)

Although there are also no bushwoolies in the comics, which helps to rule that out. Fiery also helps in making Pearl's persona. (And the same is true of the others, but Pearl is Pearl and this thread is about favourites xD)

Now that I get completely xxx

In my case most of the vids I saw were rented around the same time as I was collecting Ponies, including Quest, which doubled with a First Tooth adventure on its video

This is going a mite OT now, but
Spoiler
I only had 2 VHS as a kid (Ice Cream Wars/Revolt of PE and Sweet Stuff & Treasure Hunt/Wouldbe Dragon Slayer). The rest I saw when they were on cable in 1995 and my sister's friend taped them and loaned us the vhs. But I always looked at the TV show like, 'they got the names wrong and they made up ponies a lot'...because UK kid watching US show with US names. And I had the comics earlier and was more used to them so basically dismissed the cartoon as 'okay but not very accurate'. Although for some reason I believed in Paradise and not in Truly or Cupcake? xD.

Going back on topic, I have Princess Pearl's box in my collection somewhere too. I'll try and dig a picture out later, it's also 1987 and also beautiful.

This is way off topic but I'm not sure what it has to do with Serenity. It's been too long since I saw the original series. But Usagi means rabbit. It's a joke on the Japanese tradition of a rabbit living in the moon.

But eh, I guess Serena is only the pony's name in one part of the world too, so in that context it works.

Serenity's dub name was "Princess Serena", that's what I find amusing. MLP did it first.

Title: Re: Favourite princess pony?
Post by: FernMariposa919 on July 19, 2020, 02:42:25 PM
Does anyone else have a hard time distinguishing the Princess ponies from each other or is it just me? I think it's the fact that their symbols are non-entities; with other ponies I can remember, oh yeah, she has a clock for a symbol or she has cherries for her symbol and not to mention the name also helps me remember which one is which, but with names like "Dawn" and "Serena" and "Tiffany", I'm just like huh? Which one is which again?

Though, I DO remember Tiffany because she is a rare white pony with white hair, so that sets her apart from the others. And I remember Pristina because I owned her, so duh.

But the others? I have to look them up to remind myself who's who. I guess I need to study up on my Princess ponies some more!
Title: Re: Favourite princess pony?
Post by: Taffeta on July 19, 2020, 02:51:58 PM
It's not a problem for me but I use the UK names for the first set and grew up with their UK personalities, all of which make them pretty distinctive to me. They're all jewels, which the second set aren't, so that helps as well.

Ruby is pernickety, restless and fussy, Amber is optimistic and a go getter, Amethyst is a helpful klutz, Sapphire is the wise eldest, Pearl the sensitive artist, and Aquamarine the poetic dreamer. :).

It's much easier to muddle the sets with the US names, esp since the US personas aren't that distinct (minor tweaks) and they used basically the same naming sense across both of the sets. For me it's helpful not having to deal with that because it's easy to remember set 1 = jewels and set 2 = more random and vaguely prom-queeny.

(Says this after 22 years using the handle 'Taffeta' with absolutely zero shame at being named after piece of fabric for 2 decades)

I picked Princess Royal Blue. However, this is a tough one for me as it's pretty much a three-way tie between Princesses Royal Blue, Primrose, and Starburst.

You all make me want to read the comics now...they sound more interesting than the show ever was. Wish we had had them here in the states.

I like the UK names for the princesses better; they are easier to remember, as they are color-coordinated to the ponies' body colors, and being jewel names, perfect for royalty. They just make more sense than the human names.

Hey, only Tiffany and Serena have human-sounding names. And in fairness, "Tiffany" is also the name of a sheer fabric, as well as another name for Chantilly lace; I think the latter is the intended reference because lace is usually white (and it's associated with noble and royal clothing).

Also Dawn, and I do know a Misty as well. Although they are also a noun and an adjective (and probably the intended reference as well). I did not know that about Tiffany...just that it is a jewelry store and a girls name! Chantilly would have been a good pony name too, now that you mention it.

Oops, forgot about those. I tend to forget some of the 2nd set names. That and in context, Misty's name makes me think of weather magic because it sounds similar to Gusty (another unicorn with a weather-derived name).
