I have the same question about Snapstars - did they really end? They never showed up in my country, and the first time I've ever seen them was about a week ago when I was on a trip abroad to the Czech Republic. I would have thought they are fairly new and can't be over just yet - unless this was confirmed by the company?

I chose she's new to me, but thinking twice, I accidentally lied - now I remember a post where we talked about these, and I checked the set

I like her, but not really as is - I'm not a fan of her symbol or hair colour. I do like her pose and that she is white, so I'd love to pick up a baity one to rehair and repaint her symbol.

Based on value, my luckiest finds were the ones listed below. I found them all separately, and if converted, their prices were $1-1.5 each. They were all found in the wild, in second-hand shops, charity shops or flea markets.
- Mountain Boy Lightning
- Macau Lemon Drop (in a lot)
- Nurse Tenderheart
- 3 Alt. Birthflower ponies
My personal favourite out of these is MB Lightning. He was my first boy pony, and I longed to have a "pony with hairy legs" (not sure I realised the gender difference) ever since I was little ^^ Lemon Drop is a close second, as her colour combo is my absolute favourite.

(Although based on the title and the first post I believe value should be considered, but if we disregard value and only consider personal preference, I think Baby Sea Pony Sea Star - pictured in my avatar - for about a dollar is my personal favourite, because I love Sea Ponies, and yeah, favourite colour combo :3 It's a shame I no longer remember when and how I got her, there is a chance she came in the same lot as Macau Lemon Drop)

Oh wow She's new to me, and I'm in love! She's yellow, and I love snowdrops, and thus find her symbol SO beautiful! Insta-want ^^

That said though, I can't really understand her hair colour. I don't think it matches her overall appearance, and it reminds me of the "Fresh New Look" Furbies, which were basically sewn together from leftover parts, creating new colours that totally didn't match (like a greyish animal-like fur matched up with a bright yellow tummy). White hair would have been a better choice IMO, but probably that was thought to be a little too bland for most? I'm sure I'd rehair her with white hair if I came across her with hair in really bad shape.

It's the smell of happy memories, innocence and magic.

This. This is EPIC.

I love the smell too, and, while not so prominent, I can also smell it on second-hand finds (just sniffed two recently bought ones that currently stand on my desk, waiting to be cleaned up). I always thought it's just the type of plastic - I too have wondered why I never encountered any other toys that smelled like G1 ponies, but I also don't think I've really come across any other toys of the same age that are made out of plastic that seems similar in looks, touch and stiffness.

The perfume thing is an interesting idea. Perfumes that smell like linen, kitties, or even dirt exist, so there would totally be room for this. However, I'm not sure I'd like the smell also if it was detached from ponies - I mean, I'm pretty sure part of my liking the smell is coming from the fact that I'm sniffing an actual original G1 when I smell it, so I'm not sure it would have the same effect (for me at least) if it was coming from something else, or if I myself smelled like that

Last Tuesday I left work a little earlier (shifting some overtime hours off), and on my way to a certain shop I passed a charity shop. I was aware it is there, I just didn't plan to visit other shops on my way - however, now that I was there, I decided to go in, and boy, was that a good decision!

They all seem to be in good condition (apart from the MGR fakie's hair, but I don't mind that. I have a childhood pony like this, just darker blue with pink hair, and her hair looks even worse - even though I didn't handle her roughly. My original MLPs who got just as much play have much better hair, so this is just what you get with fakie hair ), the spots and stains on them seem to me like something that will come off after a day at the spa I'm happy with all of them, and it's tough to decide which one I like the most (Baby Surprise is darling sweet, but the MGR fakie is equally sweet, I love this fakie mold), but I'm leaning towards June Rose - not only because she's rare, but because even though her colours aren't that unique, I was secretly wishing to have her someday, as June is my birth month She's the third Alternate Birthflower I found in the wild here, and none of them came from shops that normally sell imported goods, so I'm getting more and more certain that Alt. Birthflowers were, at some point, available in stores here. 3 of them in the wild in 1.5 years would seem just too much luck, too unlikely otherwise.

I've never heard of them either (either Snow Babies or the existence of these porcelains)... Based on a quick Google search, it seems 3 different ones have been produced:

Like others, I also find these really cute - the babies not so much, they just seem to be off, clashing in style, but I really, really like the overall appearance of the porcelains, the colours, the mostly white with some pastel. I'd definitely pick any of these up to keep if I stumbled upon them in a second-hand store or charity shop.
