Eugh!

Okay, there's one male pony that I don't think I want in my collection, not even for the sake of completeness.

What on earth was Hasbro on with the G2 ponies? I'm fine with the bodies, I actually kinda like the way they did the hooves, but those heads! Those faces! They look like hydrocephalic down syndrome ponies. They look like cheap knock-off "fakies." They look totally idiotic, and not even a little bit like My Little Ponies. I remember seeing a site that basically said "they're skinny and their heads are shaped differently too, why don't people hate flutter ponies?" Dude, no. Flutter ponies are practically identical to regular Earth ponies compared to G2 ponies.

And yet there are people out there who actually like G2s! *shudder* I'll take up collecting ponyvilles before I spend money on a G2. I think if somebody gave me one, unless it was one I could sell for a decent bit, it would get radically customized into something that would allow me to completely re-do the face. (It's honestly a bit of a shame. I really like the body on Princess Silver Swirl, but I'm not sure I could take looking at that face. *shudder*)

Okay, end random rant. But somebody on a pony forum mentioned that "every G2s had boy ponies, how come G3s don't?" and I had to go find the G2 boy and see what he looked like. I'd hoped he'd be less dorky, but he's pretty much the same as the girl mold, really. And I do wish that Hasbro would release some G3 boys. There's no way they wouldn't sell like hotcakes, given how much the G1 boys go for...

(Still no pony icon. I can't think of a good pony to use. Maybe Ice Crystal, given the fact that I suspect he's going to become my "grail" pony, and the last holdout after I've gotten everything else on my list.)

*spots post* *stays faaaar away from weirdo gen2 boy*

...All I want is Bubbles. Gen1 Bubbles. Sitting-down pose, yellow skin, blue hair and bubbles. She was my favorite pony, but she got chopped up by someone. T_T

shes also hard to come by these days XD

[chohakkai.livejournal.com]

I know. T_T She was my favorite, though!

It's not really that hard to find (http://toys.search.ebay.com/bubbles_My-Little-Pony_W0QQcatrefZC6QQcoactionZcompareQQcoentrypageZsearchQQcopagenumZ1QQfgtpZQQfposZ97402QQfromZR2QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ2QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQlopgZQQsabfmtsZ1QQsacatZ47227QQsadisZ200QQsaobfmtsZinsifQQsaprchiZQQsaprcloZQQsargnZQ2d1QQsaslcZ2QQsbrftogZ1QQsofocusZbs) Bubbles.

It's more a matter of how much you're willing to pay for her.

I don't have any money and won't for a long while, so I'll just have to hope I can get one eventually. XD;;

Heh, yeah, all my old ponies are G1s. I was too old for them by the time G2s came out. Though I really hate the look of the G2s anyway. I'm definitely with you on that one.

They both look like either babies or blithering idiots, and skinny ponies? Ew. I've not really got interest in them period, except that customs are cool and I loved them as a kid. Because they were the perfect size to wrap stumpy little kid's fingers around and they were chubby enough that they could survive almost anything we did more or less intact, though not even near mint.

These... Are a bastardization of everything "My Little Pony" stood for in my childhood. YUCK.

Ok, I must admit the male pony reminds me of Prince and the female pony seriously looks like she has horse polio myelitis. That hind leg is just wrong.

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Ha! You're right.


That would almost make it worth owning one, just to do a ponyfication of Prince.
