#g1 lofty

my g1 lofty redesign! ☁️🪁🌠

Back row, left to right:

Bright Glow.  As opposed to all of those other dull glowers.

Something about Bouncy pleases me deeply.  I don’t even know why.  I quite accidentally landed a completely mint one without flocking rubs so that was a bonus.

Lofty got that CHARTRUECE hair we love so much.

Princess Royal Blue always struck me as an... odd name.  I mean, even amongst the odd names.

Front row, left to right:

My Applejack has been through some shit but... part of a lot, and I got attached.  I also learned that I will never, ever re-hair anything because my patience ends just before that process.  Queer-coded punk pony it is.

Baby North Star except not really but that’s the name they chose so fine.

Tattles is one of those few twin ponies with exactly the same symbol and colors as her twin but a very slightly different pose.  Thanks, Hasbro.

Happy Glow, unlike those unhappy losers.

Colors.

Back row, from left to right:

Sunlight, looking very good and very pale blue for her age.

Lofty’s definitely got the usual wear around her nose and hooves.  All us ‘80s kids understand.

Sweet Stuff has unfortunately started in with some little plastic breakdown spots, but considering they haven’t gotten bigger over the past several years, it’s probably not too much of a concern.  Yet.

I remain astonished at how nice this Windy looks because as I recall she was just kind of a blurry photo/offhand mention in a lot with other more expensive ponies and she turned out to be the nicest of the bunch.  Still perfectly pale purple.

Front row, from left to right:

Rosedust, sans wings, and with just a hint of easy-fade pink at the base of her tail.  Alas.

Then we have the only G2 pony I’ve ever had, Sugar Belle.  ...She’s also why I ignored the entire line.  Nothing against her or the overall “pony aesthetic”, but... the back card just.  “Sugar Belle is the shopper.  She loves to find new stores to explore.  She makes flowers magically appear in her purse and fills the stores with beautiful bouquets as she shops!”  I’d simply say it turned me off the line, but I only just now found out G2 ponies went for 7 years and I had no idea it was more than 3.

Then there’s Pink Baby Ember to illustrate vast differences in aesthetics.

DJ is the Dance ‘n Prance pony that actually works, though trying to grab video was an epic failure.  She doesn’t really move, though.  The tail just kind of helicopters and she... rattles around a little.  A gimmick.

new art style!

Lofty! My video editor struggled to export this one, too… not sure what I’m doing wrong, but at least it seems to have worked out anyway
