Surprise, Heart Throb, Skyflier, Powder, Sparkler, Gusty, were sold on that card.
Also yellow Moondancer and curly Firefly. They were for some reason added to the set when it was sold here. (Kind of like how Snowflake and Hopscotch was added to the early earth pony set here).

I know someone has suggested Glory, Medley, Twilight, Sunbeam was sold on the same card as well, but I doubt it. They never show up in auctions here (other than imported ones of course). While the others do, although yellow Moondancer and curly Firefly less often than the others.

If I'm wrong let me know.. I would love to see Glory etc moc on that card if they actually exist.

My favourite shs. :sunny:


Wanted her so much as a kid! In the UK she is oddly called Moonshimmer. I like the name better but it doesn't really fit...she should have been Sunblossom...
I agree the names are messed up in this set.



I have noticed that some Moonshimmer/Twinklers that come up in Germany have super curly hair...
I have noticed the curly ones too. I have a normal one and a curly one and their hair colours are different as well. The curly one has lighter yellow hair, not as gold.
I have been wondering how the curly ones were packaged. I have never seen one moc/mib. Have you? The normal US ones were carded obviously. I have seen one in european packaging, it was one of those "flat" shs boxes, but the pony inside had normal straight hair.
(I also wonder if there is any connection to to the curly baby Mischief...)

I think the Rocking Beat ponies had cool names in french but I don't remember them now.. I *think* one of them is "Solo".


"Baby Quackers - Bebé Patito Feo > Baby Ugly Duckling"

Ugly Duckling, how strange but cute.


"Barnacle - Barbarroja > Barbarossa/Red Bear"  (Beard?)

Barnacle is Red Beard ? Again, weird but fits him..

They are all nice. I voted Rosedust pose because I like how simple it is.

Pinwheel 2 is a later release, Pinwheel 1 belongs to the 1985 production which also includes browning Confetti and Trickles (that Pinwheel also has dark blue sticks). I luckily have all versions of her including the mail order both sealed and out of bag.

As for the MOC one Chrissytree posted, those were sold in Australia, South Africa, Germany (German text, HK), and Scandinavia as they were all on the same price list that Hasbro UK was sending out in 1986 (if they didn't show up in Denmark or Netherlands for example it was only because shops there did not order them).

I didn't know there were so many different ones. Is there any sure way to tell them apart? So if you have a random one you can see which type it is?

When you all are talking about a "deeper" pink, what do you mean? Is it brighter pink? Or less purple-y pink?

Pony Corral / Re: Cherry Treats & Discolouration

I think it's the US ones (hong kong, forelock) that turn yellow or get an uneven brownish discolouration.
The ones sold in europe (china, no forelock) stay white longer and if they do get discoloured it's more often a gray-ish shade rather than typical yellowing.
The european ones seem to have a head body mismatch more often than the US ones. Then one part is white while the other part is that gray-ish shade.

I think the first one looks discoloured... I have seen it happen to other pink ponies, for example, TE Galaxy.

I like this set but Candy Kisses colour combination is strange, it makes her look more like a g3.

Pony Corral / Re: g4 fandom paranoia. THE END IS NIGH!
« on: August 08, 2018, 11:25:39 PM »
I couldn't care less if g4 and g4 fandom die. Sorry :blush: Hasbro has been milking it for too long now. They should do something new. Real new, not g4 in a slightly modified mold.
I think the 'paranoia' might come from how the g4 fandom is based around media, internet memes, songs, youtube videos and such - the g4 fans need to maintain it all the time to keep it going or it becomes old.
The g1 g2 g3 fandoms are based around the plastic figures so the g1 through g3 fans don't really need to do anything, as long as the old plastic figures are around everything is A ok. g1 through g3 just become vintage, they never get old.

I like Seascape and Sand Dollar with their bright colours, the others are more bland.

I think Bay Breeze is missing in the poll. Also, is Hidden Treasure really a dream design pony? I think she is with the jewel symbol ponies.

I remember when these were released. At the time, Citrus Sweetheart, Lavender Lake and Thistle Whistle were the most popular ones.

I don't really have a favourite, I like them all. But Tangerine Sunset would probably be my favourite if she was in a better pose... She is actually very pretty but because of the weird pose she doesn't look good in photos.

 You can whine and complain about price and design blah blah not up to your standards, if you don't like it go make your own.


Did anyone complain about price and design ?

The SA ponies are intriguing. I have given up on ever owning one, they are just too htf and out of my price range. I will probably end up making a custom. Has anyone ever tried making a custom rooted tail?


Yes!

I kept the regular tail hole in the middle and rooted around it to disguise it :) of course there is a tail in the centre or it wouldn't be so thick ;)

How clever, and it looks really genuine..! I hope to make custom nirvanas too one day.
