Three Tribes Question...
« on: April 18, 2015, 07:53:39 PM »
I know very little about G2 and suddenly had this random thought : G2 seems to have no true pegasi.

Do, someone, please correct me if I'm wrong. But the closest I could find was Princess Twinkle Star (earth) or the 5 uni Princesses that have clip-on wings, but that would make them alicorns...  :huh:  This seems kinda lazy on Hasbro's part (not that lazy is entirely out of character for them...  -_- ) to have something lacking in that gen that's so much larger in the others.
Creatively cute and proud of it!  Have a very good day, [you]!  ^.^

You're right. Unless there's something well-hidden, all the "pegasi" of the second generation had clip-on wings.

Yep, no ''real'' wings on any G2. Only acceccory wings.

I actually saw a dream some time ago, with a G2 that had G1 wings.. it was beautiful. Sadly, only a dream. :P

This is incredibly odd, especially as there was definitely a G2 comic that did have some pegasi in it! :blink:

If I remember correctly, there are also very few unicorns themselves in G2. Only Princess Silver Swirl is a true uni, and then there's her baby Swirly with a fake horn on a headband, plus the five "alicorns", right? There are also a number of "Flutter" or "Breezie" types with soft fabric wings that they can wear - one of the princesses and four of the Magic dressup ponies, off the top of my head. G2 was a bit of a weird time with the vast majority being Earthies or just playing pretend. :P G3 followed in similar steps with pegasi and unis being introduced later and few between. Only one pegasi baby too, no little unis.

No "real" pegasi and only a few unicorns.  And no baby unicorns.   Baby Swirly with the fake horn headband was . . . interesting??  :P

When G2 production began, Hasbro & Kenner had recently merged. At that time design was switched to the former Kenner group which explains the major difference in style between G1 & G2. On the US G2 packages, there is a Kenner logo instead of Hasbro. Obviously Hasbro eventually became the sole name of the company and the Kenner name disappeared into 80's & 90's toy history. :P

Not that it explains the lack of Pegasus & minimal unicorn ponies, but it does account for the major different in style of G2's. :bigups:

It took a little while for me to find it and I must correct my previous phrasing - there is only one pegasus in it, but here it is: http://heckyeahponyscans.tumblr.com/post/31387296781 :)

That is awesome! Her wings are so different but definitely feathered and not the insectoid of Breezie, Flutter, or winger wings. I wish that her G2 toy had kept the wings...  ^.^  I wonder what she'll look like in this Gen if she gets another redesign...  :wonder:

For me its the one thing G2 lacks as a line (but then again G3 did not go on to be impressive in quantity of unicorns or pegasus either). However at least they gave us a few we could pretend were pegasus :)
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

No actual toy pegasi... which frustrated me a lot when I was a kid.
So only in the comics/ art

You also have this comic/ story:
