  1. The G3.5 cartoon had the characters as babies. G3 proper was like a reimagined G1, complete with mostly adult ponies and a selection of baby ponies who were different from the aduls.
  2. The first episode I saw was the first episode produced: Rescue at Midnight Castle. I rented it on VHS all the time as a kid. As far as FiM, the season 2 opener with Discord was my starting point.
  3. I finally saw her G4 episode. She's entirely different from G1 but that's ok. It was a good episode. I wouldn't mind seeing her come up again.
  4. G2 had the *cutest* toys while I think G3 had the overall *best* designs, especially with the variet of poses and hair colors. I adore G1 and enjoy G4, but G1 relied more on toy gimmicks than poses with its designs, and G4 reuses the same molds and poses, not to mention what sets the characters shapes apart is their hair, which ends up identical in brushable form. That said, G4.does have a pleasant amount of visual diversity in the show, even if it doesn't have 4+ colors in most ponies' hair like the more appealing G1 and G3. G3.5 is the only one I don't like, and I generally refer to it separately.
  5. You could have 2 characters at odds with each other because they both think they're right, and are both relatable without necessarily being wrong. For example, chaotic good vs lawful good who both want to make the world a better place.
  6. Still off-and-on casually collecting gen 1 and gen 2 until it's out of my budget, just like I have for almost 20 years. I'll probably rewatch gen 4 as well.
  7. They SHOULD restock. The unicorn and pegasus set only came out a couple months ago and if they all stay around as long as the Collector Ponies then the scented Rainbow Ponies should be around for at least a little while longer.
  8. Ringo got the most fanmail out of the Beatles. George was actually the least popular.
  9. The show ending will just weed out fad/short-term fans.
  10. I like real horses. I had a box of realistic horse toys (like Breyers) and a box of pastel horse toys (MLP g3) as a kid.
  11. There's rereleasing Mane 6, and then there's including Mane 6 with virtually every set that has a different character. It's like they think they need Pinkie in a package to sell a new character? Or a box set of blindbag size ponies that has the mane 6 and 4-6 other ponies. Anyone who wants different ponies essentially has to drown in unwanted duplicates in order to get different ponies in the brushable or blindbag lines, not to mention anything bigger with brushable hair is (almost) exclusively mane 6 and princesses. At least with plushies and Build-a-bear ponies can be bought individually if you want a different character. For example, one set that I wanted was a set of blindbag sized ponies that had 6 G3s turned into G4s, so they were new characters, BUT it came with the Mane 6, and I have too many of them, so I didn't buy it. I don't want to spend money on things I already have, and that I can find at the flea market for less than a dollar. Considering how much the new characters in that set cost individually, I would conclude that not many other people wanted to buy it, either.
  12. She's a sturdy, reliable friend. In the early seasons, she did more than simply exist like she does in recent seasons. She kinda helped other ponies learn friendship lessons. Since everyone is pretty good at the whole 'friendship' thing, she's less useful aside from showing how different folks can be... and fighting with RD... AJ is my favorite but it saddens me to see her go downhill. But one of them had to be the least favorite.
  13. I didn't feel compelled to go to a con until I found out that a local con had a party floor, including a Klingon party. I don't buy much FiM merch, I mostly just watch the show and collect g1 toys.
  14. I was a 90s kid but my older friends have dubbed me an honorary 80s kid. I watch cartoons, play games, and collect toys from back then. The cartoons were more hardcore back then (despite a lack of using weapons, as in He-Man where his sword never directly harms anyone) and some of the toy designs have become industry standard inspiration. What amuses me about the boy market vs girl market is the price differences. For example, MLP new in package from, say, 1988 are generally $90+ while Star Trek action figures from the same year, new in package, are $10 because they were sold as collectibles.
  15. In a century-old house with little insulation, the most efficient way to keep ourselves warm is with an electric blanket since it's just the two of us.
  16. My mom got attacked by wasps. Story: It was the day before her first day teaching at a new school. She was hanging laundry on the clothes line, which had hollow metal poles. What was in the poles? A wasp nest. The big angry midwestern wasps didn't like the vibrations so they attacked. 19 stings. Fast forward to the next day. Not wanting to look bad at her new job, she went in to work, looking and feeling miserable. Thankfully the boss noticed and sympathetically told her she could have called in sick, then subsequently sent her home to recover.
  17. I collect 80s and 90s toys so I love going to scour thrift stores. Goodwill and Salvation Army are the worst for any good finds, and I rarely bother checking their vinyls cuz they're usually unplayable. Savers, on the other hand, has given me some good finds, like a $4 Tamagotchi that I quickly sold for $25. I went to one hospice charity thrift store thathad a shelf of cheap collectibles! A furby, neopet, and a few others. I got a 1988 (?) TMNT lunchbox for $2!
  18. I don't know anyone here, if anyone recognizes me here they probably know me from the MLPTP or MLP Arena. I'm just a casual newbie here who will probably eventually be known for mentioning older gens a lot.
  19. I watch new episodes to stay caught up but primarily I'm a toy collector, and thus mostly care about the ponies that get released as toys.
  20. I loved Dragon Tales as a kid. Too bad the episodes I've rewatched as an adult didn't age well due to being crammed into 10 minute episodes. At least G1 MLP had multi part episodes.
  21. I've collected gen 1-3 toys for as long as I can remember. As a little girl I loved them, and would have my Star Trek action figures ride them. G1 and G3 are sturdy toys that have a satisfying size and amount of hair for a little kid. G2 is the cutest gen, as far as toys, in my opinion, albeit with the least amount of variety in poses and symbols.
  22. G1 did have a main 7, in MLP Tales. Starlight, Sweetheart, Melody, Bright Eyes, Patch, Clover, and Bonbon.
  23. I'm glad to be a brony because it revived my childhood interest in MLP. I thought I was over collecting G1-G3, but then FiM came along. Applejack was in it, an old favorite, and I was sucked back in. I still can enjoy my old collection and add to it because watching FiM puts me in a pony mood.
  24. A "History of MLP" day could be cool! Especially if it has amusing trivia, such as "this FiM voice actor was also in G1!" Or "Here's this FiM character's earlier G3 version!" People get a kick out of old gen trivia at brony parties sometimes. Especially explaining the G1 pilot to people when we're all in a silly mood.
