G1s smell like candy ! :D

[Sonata]

I don't know much about this, so I would like more info !


When I first got Cotton Candy, she smelled really nicely ! I thought someone had put some perfume on her, but recently when I got Blue Ember, she smelled the same ! I know some ponies have this scent, but not all of them. Which G1s have this scent, then?


I tried looking around for info, but no luck... Thanks in advance !

I wonder if it is the type of plastic? Vinyl smells kind of sweet to me, and all my G1s smell like this.

It's the PONY SMELL. I love the PONY SMELL. I'd say about half my herd still has it.

I remember a thread about this on the Trading Post.  Yeah, apparently that's just how G1s smell.  I love it so much!  I'm surprised at how many of my ponies have it; I think some of my later gen ponies might be getting it from hanging out with my G1s, too, LOL!

Many of the G1s were scented. I thought it was all of them, but I've recently been told it's only a portion of them.

I totally agree! There is just something about the smell of a ( clean, and not moldy or smoke smelling ) pony collection. I think it DOES have something to do with the vinyl bodies.

The normal sized G4's don't really have that smell, since their bodies are made of a harder plastic, but the G4 Stylin' ponies do, since their bodies are vinyl. To test this, I even gave a few of my other non-Hasbro vinyl toys a sniff, and they have that slightly sweet scent as well.

So I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's the chemicals in vinyl that make vinyl toys smell sorta sweet.

But because we're a pony community, let's just call it, "the pony smell" ( I am so stealing that phrase, Jadis! XP ).

I recieved my first ever G1 recently and realised how wonderfully she smells.. I've never really experienced the pony smell before as I didn't have ponies when I was small.. Such a delight.

I was looking for my childhood pony after dragging up the bag with the ponies, I had no idea how she looked like - I only remembered her smell. So after cleaning a bunch, I came a cross a very dirty pony. She required precise cleaning so I was up close for details. Then I picked up a faint smell and I remembered; Sherbert were my childhood pony!
She smelled a bit floral/candy, not very much but in a nice way.

Yep!  It's the vinyl.  C:  I love that smell too.  Of course I also like the smell of the old high bounce balls, gasoline, and tar...

The smell is from the plastic, and it's downright intoxicating.  Takes me back to my 6-year-old self's playroom.

I remember exactly how my Cotton Candy smelt!

Mmm. Plastic! 

[kittybethy]

All ponies smell sweet to me!

There is no smell as lovely as walking into the pony room after it has been shut up for a few days. That lovely pony smell.

I have a Tex that smells kind of like vanilla.
