It's My Little Monday!
With...June Rose Birthflower Alternate Pony
As an effort of getting back to Tumblr and restoring this space to its previously timely posting, pony is here to make an effort in June.
I don't actually own this, as the Alternative Birthflowers are very expensive. As you know, in the USA, the Birth Flower Ponies G1 were a mail order group who could be gotten 1 at a time, or all 12. Each was white with heart-throb pink hair and a (usually) mono-color stencil looking design of their designated flower. They all had curly hair and were all in this same pose.
It's thought that you were only meant to buy the one for your own birth month, so they didn't care that they were boring and that owning all 12 wouldn't look very good. In that era "gotta catch em all" hadn't really...caught on....so they didn't feel the need to do a good job or make them diverse.
However, Europe Australia and elsewhere didn't feel this way and took the set then actually designed them with coordinating colors and symbols so they looked much better. But of course, those were smaller markets so they sold less (despite being better) and that makes them now be rare everywhere. Also remember in those times there wasn't the internet and so other countries had no idea that these existed. Now each one is 100s of dollars.
End note: Of course I do plan to get all of these, but they're lower on the list as they aren't as much of a 'character' as the other ponies.
