Title: Favourite unicorn pony?
Post by: promqueen on September 06, 2020, 02:36:06 AM
I choose Gusty. My favourite unicorn pose and I think the green with red streak is really unique and works well with her aesthetic

I was tempted to go for Sunbeam then remembered Sparkler's more interesting persona in the comics (equine magpie). So Sparkler got the vote here

Have to go with Gusty even though others have lovely designs. I love Gusty's simplicity of the white and bright green and pink. Also her attitude in the cartoon and movie haha :D

I really love Gusty. I like her in the show and she is just so stunning.

Gusty has always been a favourite of mine. Her design is fantastic and she's one of my favourite characters from the cartoon, she really stood out.

Though I recently acquired a Sparkler and have fallen in love with her, so she is a very close second.

Glory, followed by Moondancer and Powder. Always wants as a child <3. Then Sparkler.

Gusty the only one actually sold here, thus the least exciting to me on that list xD.

But as a kid I wasn't much of a fan of Sunbeam. I liked my unicorns to be mystical, not party organisers...

If Gypsy had been included she would also rate up there. It bothers me that she gets left out of these polls.

Gusty, she's very pretty. That's my favorite unicorn pose and I have fond memories of her in the show and playing with my SS Gusty as a kid. Tell you the truth, I only dislike one pony in this entire set.  And I think she has very pretty colors, its just she's on an unattractive pose.

Favorite to least:
Gusty
Twilight
Powder
Moondancer
Skyflier
Sparkler
Glory
Sunbeam

Sparkler. She was the first pony I ever had, and she has been lost since childhood. I can't seem to replace her; every time I try, something goes wrong. Tried to buy her from a seller that turned out to be a deadbeat, then bought one that looked like she was just dirty in her online photo, but ended up being badly stained. My most recent attempt at acquiring her was super disappointing, because she arrived with a cut forelock (cleverly disguised in the photo of course). I just can't seem to get my hands on a good Sparkler! I like Gusty too though...her color scheme is strange, but like no other.

Twilight the unicorn.  I had a pink unicorn in my childhood ponies but I think it might have been a fakie instead of Twilight.  When I first joined the pony boards I had a hard time trying to find a pony to request adoptables of but eventually I settled on requesting Twilight most of the time. 

She quickly became a favorite pony.  I've heard in the comics she can spread mist from her horn, but I don't own any of the comics.

Moondancer!! I love her colors and her calm and collected pose for her figure! The gentle look on her face always gives me a big smile when I see her!
Gusty is a very close second, because I loved her in the original show and her personality. Her colors are also adorable and she just seems really fun! She is one of the ponies on my need list.
:happy:

If I remember right Twilight in the Uk stories was pretty shy and kept herself to herself, but there's at least one story where she's consulted for her knowledge on something and she does move around in a cloud of mist...or something?

Sunbeam would be a winner if she was in Sparkler's pose.  I hate the pose she's in, it makes her look squashed. 
So Gusty it is

Glory is my favorite.  Not only because she was childhood pony but because I think she’s the prettiest.

I will be doing separate polls for the UK releases eventually

I chose Moondancer. I love everything about her. Actually, the OG unicorns are one of my favorite sets of MLPs (especially the first set), so this was difficult. I really do like all of then, but Moondancer has a special place in my heart, so she won because of that.

Ughhh...why must you make me choose! The early unicorns make up some of my all-time favorite G1's.
I think I'll put my vote for Glory. Such a classic, simple yet elegant design that captures the essence of a magical unicorn perfectly.

My ranking overall would be:
Glory
Gusty
Sparkler
Moondancer
Twilight
Powder
Sunbeam
Skyflier

Looking forward to them almost as much as Taffeta xxx

It would really have helped if you'd labelled your polls y2/3 unicorns and pegasus; you also omitted Buttons and Majesty btw.

The sense of "eventually" suggests you don't think they're that important...

It's really important to remember that there's often a difference between UK and European. Sometimes they overlap and sometimes they don't. People on the continent don't like it when ponies they grew up with are called UK. As a UK person, I get quite twitchy when a pony that wasn't sold here is called a UK pony. :)

The Gypsy set and related sets are actually a great example of why you don't want to do them as a separate poll, honestly. The differences between the UK and European sets, the reissues and different versions and so on make it very complicated and at present there is not a single ID site that properly reflects those differences 100% (including mine although I am working on that at the moment).

It would've been a lot easier to just include them in the polls you already have.

But I'll wait with eager anticipation for this perfect and accurate UK poll you 'eventually' are going to get to. No pressure. :)

Powder! She was one of my first ever G1s, my first unicorn. I had come up with a small story in my head based off a throwaway line in an article. I'd love to spend more time with it (she is the rightful queen, Majesty is currently in charge due to Mimic's actions, but how important is the monarchy? What if Powder doesn't want to rule? I guess it's sorta like the Lion King lol).

Why complain when you are welcome to make your own poll if you want?  ^.^
