  1. Bluey! Honorable mentions: Amazing World of Gumball Sonic Boom old 80s Care Bears George of the Jungle/Super Chicken/Tom Slick (1960s)
  2. 4 Pinkie Pie (5 including G3) 2 Rainbow Dash (3 including G3) 11 Applejack (15 including G1-3) 3 Twilight Sparkle 3 Rarity (4 including G3) 3 Fluttershy (used to have 1 G3 as well) That's off the top of my head. I think I have both a McDonald's and a brushable of most of them, at the very least. I also own or have owned other G1-3 ponies that inspired the mane 6, such as G1 Twilight and Sparkler, Surprise, Firefly, and G2 Skyskimmer.
  3. I've been rewatching FiM and dreading getting to season 8, but I just finished season 7. Applejack is my favorite and I know it's downhill from here, especially in the episode where she is super competitive with Rainbow Dash again, which felt like they both forgot the lesson they learned about that in season 1, with the leaf falling race, and it was worse in their school competitive episode because it negatively impacted others as well. I don't think Applejack had any positive growth after season 7, maaaaaybe like a single episode. Not to mention she could have been removed from The Movie and not changed anything either.
  4. I think the CMC got reasonable cutie marks. They were really into doing the same sort of stuff together, and it clicked for all of them at the dame time that they liked helping others find out what fulfills them in life. They don't need to stick together their whole life or just help others with cutie marks. They could do a whole host of other jobs and activities that help people find and be true to themselves.
  5. I got to hear AJ and Dash's VA swap back and forth mid sentence live at BABScon, it is sort of a trip how fluidly she can change. Tabitha St. Germain has done a nice variety of voices in MLP, even in G3 as well. I heard that she didn't try out for Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie in FiM because they were too similar to her G3 voices for Wysteria and Minty respectively.
  6. So, I know that we intentionally don't know how Bright Mac and Buttercup/Pear Butter passed, which is fine. But I'd like to collect any information that we do know about their time with their Apple kids before they passed. It seemed like Applejack and Big Mac didn't know anything besides their parents' names in The Perfect Pair, but since we know they passed after Apple Bloom was born, I'm a little surprised Applejack and Big Mac don't seem to say anything about them besides a generic "our parents would be proud". I'm only in season 7 of my rewatch so might be forgetting things from seasons 8-9. Even something like "that was mom's favorite flower" or "dad taught me this" would be nice to see.
  7. If it were just the color scheme, then I'd deem it a coincidence and be able to easily make a custom toy of my OC if it got released as a brushable or blindbag, etc.
  8. I love this blindbag giftset that includes 6 G3 ponies as G4 blindbags, including my favorite pony design if all time, Waterfire, though she is missing her sparkly hair and fire in her eyes. It also includes Periwinkle, another G3 pony I have. Have Fluttershy and Wysteria been mentioned yet from G3? I have a G4 Wysteria brushable, and G3 Fluttershy had slightly different colors but still had a butterfly cutie mark. I'd love to find a comprehensive list of ponies in G4 content and/or the G4 toys that are based on previous gens. I'd also include ones like Sprinkle Medley, who appears to be based on G1 Medley, who was the gentle contrast to Firefly. I love taking a bag of G1-G3 ponies to MLP events and sharing some FiM origins. I love FiM as well and it's so fun to join it with the ponies I've collected since childhood. It's also odd that they got to use several G1 villains in the show, at least by name (Tirek, Grogar, Somnambula), though I can't remember seeing toys for any non-pony villains except Discord. And we saw a generic likeness of Gusty on a book cover, and Moondancer is pretty spot on from G1.
  9. I love toys of characters with alternative or limited edition outfits or other brief on screen alternative forms, and am curious what comes to mind for MLP! Currently all I have are the Mane 6 as Power Ponies in the styling size brushables. What else is out there, featuring outfits or other details that were only briefly featured on screen? (Specifically just looking for things that were seen on screen, like if someone had their wings/horn removed, swapped cutie marks, unique outfit, etc. But not stuff like graffiti or scenes painted on them.)
  10. So, I bought this pack on a whim when Toys R Us was closing a few years ago. I see it's now worth around 3x what I paid for it, so I'm debating selling it. But I really like how sparkly the mane 6 are, and I'm too cheap to buy Muffins on her own, after already having one anyway. I don't need the money rn, but I have a habit of holding onto things that I could sell, just in case I do need the money, because of how I grew up. I actually don't have any Mane 6 3" brushables besides these as my G4 collection is pretty small compared to my G1 collection. I just wish they were the original G4 brushable shape, not the 4.5 or whatever people call the movie era toys. Buuuut the tinsel and glitter really appeals to me, too! My favorite pony design ever is a G3 pony with tinsel in her hair, Waterfire, and I love the texture of glitter in my blindbags. What would you do?
  11. "Despite her sole appearance in Rescue from Midnight Castle, she's the most iconic character due to having the most merchandise." From her wiki page. I have her G1 toy in 2 poses and Baby Firefly, as well as her G3-era Dollymix mini, and I want to get an official plush of her. Not to mention that the VHS release of Rescue at Midnight Castle had her name on it: Firefly's Adventure. (Which I rented all the time as a kid!)
  12. My very first (brand new) pony was G2 (Skyskimmer) so it holds a special place in my heart, and I'm always happy to see it included.
  13. So, did you happen to grow up with G1 and G3? G3 Applejack doesn't get enough love.
  14. Glory was one of my childhood ponies, and I like to see her as inspiration for Rarity moreso than Sparkler, who I briefly had as an adult. But I also just love a white pony with a bold colored mane. Besides, they already had Surprise, who is also white, and there's no other G1 pony she could have been. That said, I am still quite curious as to why Hasbro couldn't use most of the G1 characters. What is the copyright weirdness that won't let them use their own characters?
  15. I have that comic somewhere and it made me so happy to see! I used to rent the Firefly's Adventure VHS allllll the time as a kid and she was one of my first pony toys as a kid.
  16. At BABScon a week ago, the Applejack tip jar at the hotel restaurant had the most tips on Friday! I think she won by like a dollar or two, but don't remember who was second.
  17. Question: When Tank gets called a turtle and then corrected to tortoise, does that translate well into other languages? I've heard that, in Spanish at least, the word "tortuga" applies to all turtles and tortoises, and there is no distinction. I love turtles/tortoises/testudines/chelonians/whatever you wanna call them. I'm in the "tortoises are a type of turtle" camp, because of the many biologists who say so. Tortoises are one branch in the phylogenetic tree of testudines, the rest being (other) turtles. So it's a pet peeve of mine when someone corrects someone on something being a tortoise and not a turtle. But some people just understand them to be different things, possibly regionally, dependent on language, etc. Language is weird.
  18. Baby Pound Cake. I mean, he's a baby animal, and baby animals are known for being cute!
  19. Fluttershy, if you don't have any allergies, phobias, or other problems with animals. Pinkie would be pretty aggreable and potentially fun, but maybe a bit too much for someone who's less social. Applejack would probably have reasonable expectations for sharing chores and generally pretty easy to live with, as long as you aren't competitive with her, or allergic to apples or dogs. Twilight would work well with a fellow neat freak. Rainbow Dash would probably be generally okay but I can foresee butting heads about chores. Rarity would also pair with a neat freak, who isn't allergic to cats. So, I think it depends on the person.
  20. Yes! I sleep with a big laying G3 Sunny Daze. I got her for $3 a few years ago at a local pony collector meetup. After sleeping with her for years, I recently found out she would be worth a nice amount of money if she wasn't so worn with love. At least she's stayed whiter than my other white bedtime plush, Sylveon from Pokemon.
  21. What are any ponies fhat are important to you, but you wouldn't really say are your "favorite"? For example, my favorite ponies are G1 Chief, G3 Waterfire, and G1/G4 Applejack, but I'd say that G1 Firefly is my hero, G2 Skyskimmer was my first pony, G1 Cutiesaurus is my holy grail, etc. What about you? Do you have a hero, a first, a crush, an avatar, kin, ideal friend, leader of your herd, etc. that you don't really attach the word "favorite" to?
  22. G1 Seaponies song gets stuck in my head all. the. time! Big Brother Ponies song from the G1 episode Somnambula! MLP Tales intro song is solid. Breezie Blossom song from one of the G3 movies.
  23. I have thought about bringing my G3 Minty or Cotton Candy (or even G1 Melody) to get signed at BABScon when their VAs have been there, but then I back down cuz those are my childhood ponies and I'm unsure if I'd rather keep them like they were when I was a kid and just get new ones. That would be harder for Melody though, cuz she's expensive and wasn't released here in the US. Edit to add: Since the video is unavailable, has anyone made a list? Would be nice to have a list to reference while watching.
  24. I have a G3 Pinkie Pie birthday party game on DS. I didn't play it as a kid, though: my friend bought a secondhand DS lite to modify and gave me the "cheap, girly" games that came with it. The game was cute, and entertained me for like half an hour, which was about how long it took for me to complete it.
  25. More stories in that world with a similar format, sure, or about other characters. I think FiM lasted a little longer than it even needed to. Would not bring it back for more of the same, but am curious what other characters or parts of their world would he up to.
