A  minty Cherries Jubilee or I've only ever come across ones that party hard :(

a white cherry Treats, SS north Star that doesn't look like the remains of a moth feast, Flutter Ponies in general, how many have actually kept their wings??? that's just for starters.

For me, It's Trickles, 4-speed, Baby Sea Shimmer and Gingerbread.  I'm forever on the lookout for those ones.  I was the proud owner of a regrind-free Party Time... until 2 years ago =(  A thread like this one came along, and I was about to show mine off, when I discovered she had it too, lol.

Party time and GingerBread. And yes some of the boy ponies.

Add Sweet Stuff on there, I think. It's odd, so many ponies in that pose are prone to issues. XD

Haha, I was thinking the same thing! The pose has issues :P

For me it's Gingerbread. Just can't find a white, cancer free one :pullhair:

I have a gorgeous gingerbread! I have had 3 sweet stuffs through my hand and each one has been cancer/brown spot free!

For me confetti, party time, chief, sunbeam, baby tic tac toe and cloud puff!

I had a heck of a time finding those in mint condition. Still looking for confetti and party time!

I've been trying to find a perfectly mint Galaxy for as long as I've been collecting and have yet to find one.  Every time I think I've got one she has tiny spots of regrind or cancer.  If she has no cancer or regrind then she's got irredeemably frizzy hair (Galaxy is so prone to the Frizz), bite marks or faded eye sparkle.  Never perfection in one pony  -_-   

I've also yet to find a Cloud Puff without regrind.

There's a few I've noticed since I started selling ponies online; the main one's being:

Party Time
Gingerbread
Sweet Stuff
Baby Quackers
Majesty

And for how common she is I'm surprised I never seem to see a good condition Peachy! And I sold 10 Peachys last week alone! Never a nice one (apart from mine, I was lucky with her once a few years back lol)

While not terribly popular, I've had a hard time finding minty Magic Message and Dance 'n Prance ponies. Some kids thought the magic message symbol was a scratch 'n sniff, so it got wrecked. They do not stand the test of time very well either. And that Cloud Dreamer... that shade of pink.. forget it, seriously, it's Gonna pop out spots I'd put money on it.  :(

The plastic around the tails of dance 'n prance splits and breaks easily (then hair tangles around the tail) and so many have their rear legs bent. Their mechanism does not last as long, or work as well as the happy tails ponies.  :lookround:

I'd also say Majesty is Vhtf in minty condition. The combination of being white and having a glitter symbol puts the odd against her. I've never found one in 17 years that came close my childhood one that I never played with.  :biggrin:

Oh good point! Cloud Dreamer is a terrible pony to find without regrind!

Unless you get them from a fellow collector, So Softs.  Although even my own childhood gals are starting to look a little worse for wear (and they were exceptionally well cared-for, basically just de-carded and stored). :huh:

And yeah, Gingerbread-pose is sooo hard to find minty ponies in. :(

While I'm in agreement about most of the ponies already listed, I've had TERRIBLE luck finding a Sundae Best Sherbert in even good condition!  I've gone through four of them now, trying to get better ones, but she seems to be the most prone to symbol rubs, she discolors on her lips and ear tips, and literally every single one I've seen/had has had pen parks on her.  I don't know if it's just my bad luck or what, but I've had a heck of a time finding a good one of her!

The way you put it makes me think of a Baby Cloud Puff covered in pink spots. :P

The lavender drops 2-stamper Hong Kong Lemon Drop is also incredibly prone to brown spots and head/body mismatch. The ones that have passed through my hands have been made of softer plastic than usual. None was perfect. And I almost forgot about Trim'n Grow Dream Beauties... it's not an easy task to find one with a complete head of hair.

I must say my star flower was the hardest to find mint. I had to import her from Belgium and she cost me rather a lot but I was sooo pleased with her. No cancer, discolouration or rust
Hello, [you] i'm looking for so softs in need  of a little TLC :)
