What is your least favorite collector pony.
-
The one from the Sundae Best ponies.
-
I think I should’ve explained better that I’m talking about year one collectors pose ponies. But collectors posed ponies can be talked about too.
-
Cotton Candy.
-
Cotton Candy.
:-(
-
I do prefer Applejack and Bowtid in the shy pose but I don't have a s least favourite firdt release pony.
-
Oh, tough question. I don't really dislike any of them. I guess Blossom because she's quite similar to Blue Belle but has less color variation, but I do like her still.
-
I would’ve chose blossom or blue belle too because they look almost identical to each other it kind of felt like there wasn’t a reason to make one of them.
-
Another for Cotton Candy. Pastel pink isn't my thing.
-
Yeah, Blossom and Blue Belle are pretty samey and I always forget about them compared to Minty, Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, and Snuzzle.
But they're better than all of the birthflower ponies combined at least, if we want to talk about collector POSE ponies.
-
The birth flower ponies are just extremely bad. I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to give them all identical colors that are very basic and forgettable. I’d rather waste my money on a alternative birth flower pony because at least their colors look extremely better than the mail orders.
-
Cotton Candy, mostly because she's so common that I'm sick of her. Followed by Blossom; she's a bit dull. However, I do like how the set looks together, all their Easter-eggy, ice cream colors make for a delicious bunch of 1980's goodness.
The birthflowers are my least favorites, if we're talking about the pose in general.
-
Erm. Most all of them...
*runs away*
-
Butterscotch, I always forget she exists. Peachy is my second least favorite. Blossom is my favorite, followed by Minty. I love Cotton Candy too!
-
Hmm, I don't dislike any of them really, but if I have to pick one, then I'll add another vote for Cotton Candy. Her colour and symbol are quite bland.
-
Probably Bluebelle.
-
I like cotton candy because she was kind of the first idea of what ponies would look like. I think all ponies or collector ponies would have been colorful appaloosa’s. Also probably another reason why I like her because I love pink.

Probably Bluebelle.
for some reason I kind of don’t like her symbol.

I don't like the birthflower set. Its so dull. The alternates are better, but that pose... >_<

I forgot about Peachy. I'll change my answer to her. Maybe because every time she shows up in a lot, she's always manky looking. I think because she was a playset pony they cut some corners on her...much like Majesty, she often shows up with thin/sparsely rooted hair.
-
Peachy and snuzzle also look alike I don’t know why they have both almost have the same symbol.

Yes, I'm fairly certain I have an entire pile of nasty looking Peachys somewhere in my house. 🤣 She's so common and yet so often gross.
-
On reflection, I'm probably less 'meh' about Blossom and CC because they actually had relevance here in stories and thus 'were actual characters' as opposed to randoms in the factfile that I never saw in stores or knew anything about really till I was an adult. I think that feeds into my meh about the set overall, the pose has never thrilled me either, but I think it's mostly because they barely existed in early UK lore.
...People talking about Bluebelle and Blossom being samey made me realise it most. Blossom to me was a pony with a garden and flowers and stuff. And Bluebelle was just...in the factfile. So I don't think of them as the same because one mattered and one just wasn't there when I was a kid.
So I'm going to clarify my answer to "the other four" that weren't in the y2 set.
-
Gasp! Cotton Candy is my favourite collector pony! *covers ears of CC army* Don't listen to them, CC, I still love you!
:silly: Okay but seriously, I'm not sure! I like all of the collector ponies, really... I guess if I absolutely HAD to pick, then Snuzzle's my least favourite, maybe? But only in comparison to the others, I don't dislike her or anything.
If we're counting all collector pose ponies, then the MO Birthflowers, definitely. I have no idea what on EARTH they were thinking with that set!!! The alternate versions are lovely, though.
-
Snuzzle. She just doesn't appeal to me.
If I had to pick a 2nd I'd say Cotton Candy only because she is my accidental army pony. She seems to multiply when I'm not looking and suddenly I'm surrounded by Cotton Candys.

My pick would be Bluebelle too. There is nothing wrong her. But, if I like one the least, she's the pony.
I also like Cotton Candy the most. Pink isn't my favorite pony color, so I can't explain why other than 1980s subliminal marketing. She was everywhere.
-
Cotton Candy owes me $10.
-
Probably Blue Belle. Her colors are nice, but between her, Twilight, Starflower, and nirvanas like Re Unicorno, the star symbol is very overused, and I think it suits her the least.
-
Out of all the Ponies in that pose: Stockings. Her hair should have been red at the very LEAST, & I can't change it because my one is too nice.
Out of the six Collector Ponies... harder. Each has a good point & a not so good one. Butterscotch was my first & Blossom my second, as well as mother to my first Baby Pony. Cotton Candy's mischievous character in comics was great fun, but I'm not a fan of pink. Blue Belle is blue, but her name & symbol mean little. Snuzzle & Minty both have rarer colours (Snuzzle being the only grey Pony in G1), & if it were between those two I'd pick Snuzzle for her symbol as Minty's is better.
It would have to be a grudging Blue Belle for me. Note that's the least of a good bunch though.

I have to agree with ponyprincess2021. The birth flower ponies just seem very repetitive. I never had any of them as a kid and I honestly don't even remember wanting them (verses other mail order ponies). As an adult I have picked up two of them fairly cheaply (Lily of the Valley & Poppy) but I'm not sure I want to get all of them because they just are not impressive. The alternate ones are much more appealing.
I never owned any of the original 6 or Peachy as a child (I had the mail order Pretty Parlor version that came without her). So as an adult it was nice to be able to get them from the Basic Fun retro releases. That probably makes me one of the few people who were excited to get a Peachy.

Peachy was my very first G1 pony that was given to me by someone. She's decently special to me. :) Her Basic Fun release is so pretty! I like her darker colour.

I love Cotton Candy too. Can I have June Rose though? She's my birthflower and her colours do kind of make sense...
-
I love them, I don't know if I can pick a least favourite... :S I guess Blue Belle, I forget about her all the time. xD
-
Blossom. I always forget she exists.
-
This is a tough question as I really love these first six ponies! But, if I was forced to decide, probably Bluebell. I like her colours but her symbol is not very imaginative.
-
I'd say Peachy! I love Peach/Pink colors but I feel like nearly every Peachy I've seen looks dirty! I don't know if her colors show dirt more or what but icks me out a little. I also don't like that she has the same symbol as Snuzzle (one of my fav Collector Ponies) not to mention the very light pink hearts clash against the again, dirty peach color. I feel with a few color adjustments and maybe a symbol change and she'd be pretty cute!!
-
Hmm, I think Blue Belle. No particular reason, though.
-
Gonna say Cotton Candy. I actually quite like pink, but I'm not the biggest fan of her particular shades of pink. Plus, my main generation is one absolutely saturated with pink! Cotton Candy just doesn't stand out that much to me, all things considered. Blue Belle's a close second, but she holds a special place in my heart due to being among the first BF ponies I was able to get my hands on!
-
I'd say Peachy, but if I have to choose between the original set... hmm. Maybe Blossom. I still like her but her colours are a bit boring, and I'm not a fan of lilac/purple anyway. (However, I usually love fan art and custom versions of Blossom, so IDK...)
Peachy is bland and she seems to be the most common G1 pony encountered here in Europe. Comes in every lot and is usually in a pretty poor shape. Lemon Drop is super common, too, but I do love her - perhaps it's just because she's yellow. :P
