The pony "not-like" thread.

[BabiChuld]

Beddy bye eye babies, just the thought of the blinking and the rust and the dead glare....nah I don't think so unless some miracle happens where I find one and fall instantly for her

Plushies- I have nothing against plushies and do have one, but I don't plan on having a whole collection of them because I just don't have that kinda room, I'd rather fill it with ponies ^_^

I don't want haircuts in my collection or rehairs, their hair is important to me and a huge part of why I love them so ^_^

Umm...I also don't collect any of the pony wear/ combs etc- I have nothing against that stuff it's just the room and honestly I wouldn't display them so why have them?

[Starfall]

How common Rosedust is. Such an unfriendly pony! She makes me cross just looking at her!

[Sea_Breeze]

G3.5
G1 adults - only like & collecting some of the sets, love non US ponies just more vibrant colours
G1 babies - yes they are cute but obviously not enough for me to collect them
EG - can't afford to start collecting dolls, I do admire them along with the MH but ponies are my thing

[Ivy]

G2, G3.5's *shudders* G4 anything.

Mainly the reason I decided to limit myself to G1s - and only G1s....

[Mareacooda]

Overall ... I dislike moldy, cancer, smelly and sticky ponies!
G1s.... I dislike baby wet pant ponies mold.
G2s..  I really never crazy molds they just do not look cute ponies.
G3s .... Bored see just ponies and core 7
G3.5 .... never understand them!
G4...  I tired see dirty/major control issues in NIB or NIP... Like everyone else I trired see same characters soooo many variety character could be released that pony fans would go nutz over.

Molded hair. It's just... no. Wrong wrong wrong. I can tolerate a Blind Bag character who hasn't had a brushable release, or G3 Ponyvilles, who I've recently begun to love after looking at them for a while. But if I see a "custom" that's just ripped out the nylon and added Sculpey hair, especially if it's badly sculpted, I can't even find it in me to appreciate the effort. It's just.... I can't really give a legitimate reason, except for the fact that I just despise it. I guess I just love to brush my ponies.
Things that mildly irk me include repetition, G2 clones with different names, the G2 Magic Motion pose with the ball at the base of the neck, recycled symbols, G1 symbols that are just plain random (glares at Bonnie Bonnets), Newborn Cuties, and the Quackers pose. I actually like the Tootsie pose, though.
Everything else that I started out hating, I've warmed up to. I don't really go "ewww" at anything; at most, my negative response is a simple "meh." A lot of the time, it's just feeling sorry for them, like the So Soft babies in G3. The characters are really nice (huge fan of Angel Dove and Bright Night) and they don't get enough love. I'm nuts over "Twice-as-Funky" Buttons, who still keeps her nickname despite it, and have a soft spot for BBEs, G3.5s, Seaponies, EGs (their faces, although nowhere near accurate, are gorgeous!), the eyelash princesses, Glow n' Shows, Hair-do ponies (they seem so fun!), Rockin' Beats, neon colors or crimped hair in general, SHS, Teenies, G2s, you name it. There's just so much to love.
But when I watch the Core 7 animation, I can't help but see potential in it. If they'd put any effort into the Core 7, they'd be great. Scootaloo could be more tomboyish, give Cheerilee glasses, make Toola wear a lot of questionable homemade jewelry that makes Dash cringe, put the ponies in school, allow side characters to exist, show more parents (somebody had to adopt Sweetie Belle after she fell out of the sky due to a completely impossible event), put them in more situations that aren't just giggling happy ponies frolicking merrily, include mysteries/challenges to their friendship, make the newborn episodes with more realistic ages, what was my point again? I guess that the characters could have more life to them, and the variety is perfect for a show about ponies. As far as toys, release a set that applies to a character's personality, such as dress-up ponies with Rainbow, include a pony and lots of accessories (maybe working instruments for StarSong?) and release sets of six: one Core pony, and five new ones. I think that would work out well. It's just my desire for them to be what they could've been but weren't.

....Holy rant, I'm chatty.

[Leave a Whisper]

Eye wonk.

Two eyes, same place either side of head. Can't be that difficult, right? Wrong. Eye wonk gets on my bits SO MUCH 

especially for a company that's been in the toy biz forever and a freakin day too.

[Corona]

- Cigarette smell. Instant dealbreaker! That smell makes me sick. But any strong smell will probably turn me away.
- BBEs and 3.5s. They creep me out.
- Not a fan of Equestria Girls but I may be tempted if they're characters I like or come with ponies I like.
- Ponies not in at least displayable condition. I can overlook little marks that are hidden but marker scrawled on the side is a no.

[Dreamer]

In general, any talking (or other electronic features) toy is a big no-no for me. I don't want to spend on batteries and that dreaded baby Skyla (or whatever that baby-sized pony is named) in stores startles me with her random gibberish ><
Also, I don't like molded hair, because I think brushable one is one of the inherent things a pony should have. I'm not saying molded haired ponies aren't good, but... not good enough for me

G1
-BBEs. So creepy! Especially with rusty eyes...
-First Tooth, Fancy pants, Drink N' Wets, baby ponies in general.  They always have a cutesy baby-related symbol. I know it makes sense for them (after all, they are babies), but I prefer unusual symbols such as UFOs, fast food or footballs 
-Tropical ponies. I like neon colours but those look a bit tacky to me
-Ballerina ponies. I'm not a big fan of ballet, but I like that they're articulated.
-Bushwoolies. I like the dragons best
-Flower Fantasies. I like the Colorswirls best

G2
-Not a big peeve, but I would like the boys to have different features than the girls. G1 Big Bros had feathered hooves, to avoid confusion. Why not the same for the G2?
-Articulated/Magic Motion ponies
-Those who have a very weird thing on their bums so their tails are swappable. A nice concept idea, but it's not pretty.

G3
-NO BOYS AT ALL
-Lots and lots of bland pink/purple ponies with generic symbols. As I said before, I like different, non-cutesy symbols, and the only ponies I really like from this gen. are Waterfire and Denim Blue (the latter one because according to her bio, she's an ecologist pony who made a recycling center on Ponyville!)

G3.5 and G4
-ABSOLUTE LACK OF DIVERSITY. Worse with G4, due to its famous TV show who brags about having loads and loads of different characters. And again, no boys (except Shining Armor, but he's an exception because I think he was fan-requested and he's got that awful hair that falls over with just touching it)
-Equestria Girls. They don't even look like ponies even if Hasbro tries with their ears.
-'Cutie Marks' I'd rather prefer to call them symbols, thanks

Customs
-Those who resemble other animals. Sometimes it works (such as zebras or donkeys), but for me, a tiger-pony doesn't work   
-Also not a fan of FBRs, I just don't like doing them

[squishy turdl]

Pinkie Pie, the tv character.

the actual pony is cute as a button. x

Lol I agree.  Least favourite flutter (after Lily, can't really put my finger on why), she just looks cross and aloof.

(PS I like you 'location' there, keeping AusPost afloat!  Went in there one time to pic up a pony and the sweet little asian lady behind the counter was like, 'ohhh, all the packages, we know who you are now!!')

BBE-creepy lil soul-suckers from beyond the abyss. if I ever did get one in a lot, I'd practically give it to anyone on the TP or Arena for free, before I wake up to find it floating over my head one night and pulling a Shang Tsung on me.

Heh!  yes so true.  Seriously who in Hasbro thought they were cute?  And why are there soooo many of them around?
