Cherry Pickin'! She reminds me of my dad, who can eat a whole crate of cherries in one sitting 

Alright, this time you're going to get Spanish names (with translations of course) because I feel they sound better.

Camionero (Truck Driver) - huh, I always assumed his symbol was a racecar, not a truck. In that case I was going to name him Speed Racer 

And Media Luna (Half Moon). That symbol is so shimmery and overall this custom brings me a sense of calm

So, from time to time I draw, and lately I decided to draw a pony. I haven't even tried to recreate any official style and just went with whatever felt right at the time. I don't know if I'll stick with it, but for now I'm calling this whole design style "peanut ponies" because their heads look like peanuts.

Please don't ask why I turned Medley into a stereotypical 90s cool kid, it involves a long series of inner jokes with my best friend.

E.T. Cow 

And Carnival Cheer! That's one lovely custom Heelys 

As you may imagine, I don't remember the name of every pony in existence. I've called Comet Tail "Gradient Girl", Merry Moments "Precious Memories" and so on. Let's have some fun with that.

Show me a pony and I'll make up a new name for them based on what I see. Any generation counts, fakies count, customs count, other toy horses count, Bella Sara counts, drawn pictures of made-up ponies count. As long as it's horse-like I'll make up a (sometimes silly) name for them.

And if you want to come up with your own names for the ponies shown here, you're more than welcome, too 

You mean like G1 Buttons (non TAF version), who also has buttons as a symbol?

Yeah!! Is she pink or purple tho?? Card art shows her as purple but I see her toy pictures as pink. Is it the lighting?

Can we still ask for price checks here? I hope so.

Either way, my fiancé found me an August Breeze in a flea market, and while I'm obviously NOT gonna sell her (it's a gift from someone special  ), I can't help but wonder her actual value among collectors. I know she's a TRU exclusive and fairly rare, but I also know eBay and other sites tend to inflate prices.

My personal August Breeze is in pretty good condition too if that helps, she's only got messy hair and a slight marker stain, nothing that cannot be fixed 

Sweetheart Sisters have a nice mold, but I think my biggest issue with them is... the lack of any unique theming to them. Most of them are one colour (pink body, pink hair/purple body, purple hair and so on) and their symbols are either too basic (hearts, stars, flowers...) or too "frilly" (like those bouquet/prom-themed ones). Either way, they don't "speak" to me the way G2 does.

I love unconventional symbols (Star Hopper, Alphabittle) but I don't shy away from more classical ones. The right color scheme can make a pony really pop out, like Heart Throb! I find her "simple", but well executed: pink on pink and winged hearts works for a Valentine-themed pony, and making her a pegasus ties with her symbol and rounds the whole thing together. I love designs like that.

...And with the unicorn craze going on, I really wish a different toy franchise took off and measured up to Hasbro in a similar way Yo-Kai Watch "woke up" Pokémon in terms of popular battle-monster collecting critters. We might not have gotten much from it (YKW is definitely not as commonplace as it was a few years ago), but on the Pokémon side we got some unexpected surprises on Gen 7, so... yeah, Hasbro needs something that makes them go "Hey, we ARE the brushable horsie toy franchise here!!"

Also, I've decided baby ponies are not for me, doesn't matter the generation. I prefer adult proportions better.
