Maybe they make you nostalgic for happy holiday memories?
I also have something with the G3 winter ponies! I also grew up with G1 and was grown up by the time I got the winter ponies but there is just something about them! I suffered a lot from depression at the time they came out and winter was tough for me to get through but the winter ponies helped me appreciate winter in a whole new way!
What a nice subject to discuss. I have it with several ponies and sets, but they are usually "logical" in one way or another (nostalgia, taste in colour/theme/atmosphere, etc.). However, there is one "strange" one that immediately comes to mind. This Italian Cotton Candy! I mentioned many times that I really can't stand Italian ponies, especially collectors pose ones, because they always look manky and there are always so many of them at the fleamarket. There could have been Sweetberry Ponies or Merry-Go-Rounds in that spot instead! But nooooooo... However, when this pony came to me, I loved her instantly. I looked into her eyes, and she looked back at me. She seems so "real", so alive. We became friends right away. visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I mainly grew up with G2/G3 ponies. G3 WinterSnow gets me right in the heart as she was my favourite pony growing up (I named her 'Queen of Ponyland' when I was little ). Unfortunately I let her go when I was growing up and seeing images of her on the web or listings on eBay kinda make me feel guilty for getting rid of her. I guess it's nostalgia for me as I took her everywhere I went and I developed an emotional attachment to her.G3 Sweet Summertime (or 'Beachball' as me and my sister called her) gives me a similar feeling too.
My reaction to seeing cheerilee with hair like this gives me a deep feeling of dreadvisitors can't see pics , please register or login
Yes, i agree with that. For me the G1 ponies evoke the sense of happy christmas past, of total make believe and oh so happy times. I never had ponies as a child but i always would have liked them. I think maybe, too, the pony itself gives off that feeling of childhood joy, i know this may sound silly, but it is almost as though the child who played with that pony leaves the feeling behind within the pony forever, for others to tap into. Thats what i like to think anyway.
