Do you have her? Your thoughts? Share some more pics!


Kinda like her, even though I do not have her. I have mom/baby starsong...

She's new to me; I'm not really sure what to make of her.

I call her Rainbow Love, & I have her & her shopping trolley. If she'd been made as a G1 or G3 adult rather than the G3.5 (or Chibi), then I'm sure she'd have wider appeal. My favourite Mum Pony of the three is Cherrylou (Mum to Cheerilee & Scootaloo)

I have her, and have found about two doubles overtime. I do wish we had more parents of the ponies made.

Her symbol is cute and I like her colors. But I don't like 3.5 moulds, so I'll pass.

I don't like G3.5's, but at least she's not a core 7 pony.

Definitely my favourite mom pony, her CM is cute. I'm trying to get at least one of each G3.5 and I don't have any moms yet... or Toola Roola!

I have her and her baby! Found at the same store at the same time (albeit in separate bags) with the same "birthday code," I'm pretty sure they are original to each other. Mine came to me with her bangs cut, which I didn't realize until later. Part of me wants to upgrade her, and another can't bear the thought of separating the two!

In the bag with her was an RC Scooter Scootaloo, who has gained the nickname "Yummy" due to her terribly chewed leg. I only grabbed her since I'd technically already bought her.

Her hairstyle's cute, but she can't wear it down due to her scalp not having any rooting! Her circle is a few rows thick, though, so you probably couldn't tell without checking.

The mom ponies puzzle me. Their eyes are more like G3 eyes, despite them being "normal" on Pinkie Pie's mom's animated appearance (and on Mayor Flitter Flutter in TWA, who is presumably an adult)... Heck, was that even her mom? The cutie marks are different, hairstyles are different, color scheme is different... The most logical explanation is an early design being used for the cartoon, but I like to think of her as an aunt or sister, since her relation to Pinkie is never explicitly stated.

Why are the mom toys so much bigger than the standard Core 7? Rainbow Dash is about the size of Mayor Flitter Flutter in TWA... Though, it's not like the size of the Core 7 toys even make sense among themselves. Only Pinkie and Scoots may share a body (Toola is bigger than Cheerilee, mostly in the neck!) and all their heads are unique (with the exception of Cheerilee's Hairstyles, who uses Pinkie's head and body), so why is Scootaloo bigger than Cheerilee? Toola than Dash(who is the oldest*)? And if the argument is so that they are all the same size... Sweetie Belle is tiny!

Heck, even the Newborns puzzle me. If the Core 7 were babies at the same time, they'd have to be within the same three years of age. But in TWA, Rainbow is nearly adult size, and Sweetie and Scoots are too little to remember last year's festival clearly!? I'd put them at the ages 4-16, with two years between each one. That would mean, if I have my relative ages right (hard to find definitive answers), Sweetie is four, Loo 6, Star 8, Pinkie in the middle at 10, Lee 12, Toola 14, and Dash 16. I guess it's easily chalked up to baby spin-off logic, but I like an answer that makes sense in canon... Perhaps the Once Upon a My Little Pony Time stories are told with "When we were younger..." and the babies are just what the listener imagines (and with that logic, Pinkie's mom' toy and cartoon selves would have similar verbal descriptions).

Well, that swerved off topic and a bit into rant territory... Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the G3.5 toys, but perhaps that's why their flaws bug me? Thanks to anyone who actually read any of that!

I'm not a G3.5 fan in general, but I do quite like the mama ponies - I wish they had names!! I wouldn't go out of my way to get any of them, but I wouldn't mind them, either... if I ever get any G3.5s, it'll be these.

I actually quite liked the 3.5 look (gasp!), so I have a soft spot for the Mom ponies. Mom Dash is my favorite of the three. ^_^ Have!

Don't have and not looking. Not for me :) I was fond of G3 RD but I'm not big on G3.5 and G4 ruined Rainbow Dash for me forever.
Mom Dash's name also bothers me.

Her rainbow looks like a cute patch.

I think it's a fan name? I was under the impression none of the G3.5 mums had official names.

Nope, just "Mom!" The "last names" are just there to differentiate them.

She's kinda cute, but I'm really not huge on g3.5s at all, so I think I'd live if I never got her.

She's cute! Normally I don't go for 3.5s, but if I found her in the wild, I'd grab her and try to see where she would fit in my herd. I like the idea of mom ponies.

Have her! I need to fix her hair though, I had thrifted her years back with her hair style undone and still haven't gotten around to restyling it, so the part of her head that's not rooted at all is very apparent.

The G3.5 moms are so cute and Ms. Dash is my favorite one!

Want! I really like the idea of making the moms of the main characters.

Also the addition of a race car shopping cart in her set was top-tier toy design 100/10.

I have her and she's so weird :biggrin: Thrifted a few years back.

I am still looking for them and no luck yet. I have the other two mom ponies though.

I wouldn't mind having her since i only have pinkie's mom, she's cute.

Only G3.5 I want- just to have one of each gen, she's not core 7, and she's blue.

Very cute pony, and her hair style is pretty unique! Love the concept of the G3.5 moms. It's really nice that they have their own unique designs, with only some traits borrowed from their daughters. Rather than in G1, where the parent and child were mostly always exact clones of each other (not counting the parents of the main characters of MLP Tales, but those were never made into toys). It's also really cute that Scootaloo and Cheerilee are siblings. It seemed like the start of some good world building. Wish they had expanded on it, with moms for the other three ponies and possibly some more family members as well.
