G2s are great. I really like how they have feathering on their feet. Also Princess Crystal is SO cool.
I liked them, I just didn't really connect with them because I was 20 when they came out. I do have a few I regret parting with now though. I had bought them in stores when they came out. I don't regret parting with any iteration of Moon Shadow though. Even brand new I couldn't find one where her movable parts matched the rest of her body and it drove me bonkers especially because I loved her color scheme and symbol so much. I'm currently working on a G1 custom of her.
I can't remember if I mentioned this before, so forgive me if this is a "repeat post". But I liked that the G2 male ponies were in the same molds as the females. Makes much more sense than G1 or G4's approach. (Although I know G1 also had some males in the same molds as females.) The toys (any gen) are pretty androgynous to begin with because . . . well, they're horses! We could have had canon boys for flutter ponies, wingers, etc if Hasbro hadn't been caught up on the idea that they all "had to be" girls.
G1 is the strangest to me. The G4 males are at least about the same size as the female ponies. With G1 the drafthorse molds are absurdly larger than the other molds. I find it really off-putting. Like, okay Hasbro, you don't need to make them 1.5x bigger than the other ponies to make me believe they're a boy. Why they gotta be so thick??Yes, I totally agree about the G2 boys being as vibrant and interesting as the girls. Prince Firefly is particularly gorgeous!

I just wish they hadn't recycled him over and over.
