It’s My Little Monday!
With...G1 Pony Goodweather the Holiday Pony!
Goodweather here is another less-common sight. She was a Europe only release pony (which contributes to her uncommonness) and she was also an accessory pack pony: sold in a box (rather than carded) with fun accessories for a day at the beach. However, this made her cost more than others at the time, so not everyone was going to own her. Both of these make her less common to find today.
What did she come with? The word ‘holiday’ (in the USA) implies Christmas/New years, but in Europe it can refer to “Going on vacation”, which is the case with Goodweather here. She was set for a day at the beach with an umbrella, radio, towel, bucket, shove, cups, fishy shape comb, sunglasses beach ball and toy starfish. She also had a plastic clear hot pink bag, but that was able to stain pony skin so it’s not a good idea for her to carry it.
The picture on her box-back is not of her: it is of her prototype which had her in Gingerbread/Sky Rocket pose. Her story doesn’t make much sense either, it basically just describes her sending a post card and tells you that she travels. It implies she can get rid of rainy weather by whispering her own name but because it isn’t that well written...who knows. It isn’t particularly a story, even.
She’s a good bright and pretty pony.
Another with a very ‘classic’ or nostalgic feel, the old-fashion smiley sun helps with that type of look. (Looks like a 60s or 70s music festival type graphic going on there with it) With ‘the sun’ or other sky objects often being characters in the back card stories, it makes sense for her to have this character-type sun for her symbol. She’s over-all cute and fun--good to collect if you can come across her for a reasonable rate.
