I’m a collector from Sweden. I love alternative ponies, and I think my favorite is German Starshine because she is the perfect mix of two of my childhood ponies; Starshine and Surprise.
One of my favourite childhood ponies is the bubbly Fizzy, though I got to know her only through the TV-series and never knew there was an actual toy of her. I was thrilled to discover this as a grown up collector, but became perplexed by her colour scheme. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something was "off" about Fizzy –– or "upside down", if you will.
I've seen Fizzy reimagined as "reversed" verisons before, but I never was a fan of that pose. So when I made my custom out of a worn Starflower not only did I want to put her mane colours in the right order, she also got a darker body colour and magenta eyes. I wasn't going to reveal her to the world before Ponyfest in Stockholm this August, but Jewel has lured her out of hiding.
Presenting my alternate custom pony Fizzy. She is a one-of-a-kind, blabbermouth "space cadet" just like me, and that is why I ♡ her.
US collector here! I'm super excited for season 3 of Stranger Things; especially if ponies are involved! This girl is one of my favorite varients; I just love her body color.
I found her, so I do not want to enter and ruin someone else's chance, but I just wanted to say this is a really fun give away and I wish everyone luck!
And my favourite alternate pony, huh... not sure what "kind" of alternate you're looking for, but I'll say... Italy Blue Lickety Split, probably? I LOVE the blue shade along with her pink hair
I'm quite intrigued by international color variants. I like how ponies I've seen that aren't originally rainbow, are rainbow in other countries like this Moondancer
I'm from Germany and my favourite variant is this light haired greek Blue Belle. I love the greek pony eyes and this one has also such pretty hair colour
*wavers* Been a long time!!
Living in England.
My faviourate alt pony is Turned head Starshine. Not sure if she counts... but.
Why.. as a young teen I had Moonstone and Starshine. They were in love (starshine was a boy, moonstone a girl) and evil Majesty kept trying to steal starshine.
I really really wanted the starshine with the turned head... I *think* That the packaging I had showed her/him with a turned head on the back... So I did manage to loosen his head, so it turned. Sadly Moonstones neck insides broke.. so I had to glue her head on!
So.. as an adult, and collector I wanted my moonstone and starshine back.
Now have alts of them all!
I can't pick an all time favourite alternate pony (there are too many!) but one of my favourites in my collection is Novia (Argentinean Truly/Wedding Pony). Truly is my favourite pony anyway, and I love this girl's pearly body and sparkly hair. She's also in one of my favourite poses.
Yes please. I work for the other retail giant and so stay far away from places like Target. I am in the Is. This may be stretching alternate a bit but love my custom Cheese pony who is my alternate to the real thing. Pics behind MLP is Cheese. First post so hopefully I can get the pic u
