At first, I thought Whizzer wasn’t anything special, but when I saw her at a collectibles store, I found her pretty cute. She reminds me of G4 Starlight Glimmer. Even though she’s not in perfect condition, I bought her for $3. She’s not my favorite, but she’s a treasured part of my collection. Another one is Sunlight. Wasn’t such a big fan of her until I found her at that same collectibles store. She was in pretty bad shape yet she cost only $2.  I bought her so I could clean her up as good as possible (because one of my favorite parts of collecting ponies is making them look new again). She has some cancer spots and her tail is completely gone (I’ll give her a new one someday), yet once she was cleaned up and her hair was brushed, I fell in love. Turns out her hair is more complex than I originally thought. Rather than her mane being arranged into a simple rainbow with monotone colors, it actually has hair of separate colors overlapping one another, and it produces a nice effect.

I’d change the whole Paradise Estate thing for one. I thought it made no sense that the ponies were sad that their precious castle was gone, then out of the blue a pink house comes down from the sky and the ponies are like,”OMG! This is the greatest thing ever to happen to us!” Paradise Estate doesn’t have enough room for hundreds of ponies, it doesn’t have barely any protection from enemies, and I can’t help but wonder what Queen Majesty would think of such a betrayal. I’d also change the animation. The art style is okay but the quality itself is reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons. The animation errors I would fix. I would make the movie focus on the characters’ personalities more, kind of like Friendship Is Magic.

I have that one in The Flat Foot version. She’s my favorite of the original six ponies.

Welcome, Amelia! Restoring old ponies is also my cup of tea!
