New Horses have unleashed some love for some OLD horses — these gals are reimaginings of the G2 pony toys I grew up with!
Morning Glory, Ivy, Sweet Berry, Sunsparkle, Sundance, and Night Star my beloveds <3 I have no idea what their ‘canon’ personalities were meant to be bc I disregarded all packaging, never owned the videogame, and there was no G2 TV show, alas.
iirc, Morning Glory came by herself and was my first pony! Ivy and Sweet Berry were in a pack together, Sunsparkle and Night Star were the changing mane & tail toys where you could switch their manes out, and Sundance was a happy meal toy, haha.
I had Night Star and Sunsparkle as sisters, because TECHNICALLY Night Star belonged to my lil sister and Sunsparkle was mine and we got them at the same time, so that was some heavy Kid Projection there. Sundance was either a third sibling, Sunsparkle’s child, or the child form of Sunsparkle depending on the narrative we were playing, so even now I’m indecisive over what exactly her deal is.
‘Storylines’ with them were based around them going on Quests to earn the right to have the Cool Manes by helping the others out of scrapes and being accepted as the Protectors of the Herd… these are the horses I thought of, immediately, when I first watched G4 and there were a pair of sisters themed around day and night who had cool manes…. Sunsparkle/Sundance (they can be. interchangeable names with a lot of the toys) was definitely an early inspiration for Celestia’s design — think of Pink Celestia! Also, our new Sunny gal bears more than a passing resemblance…
Ivy and Sweet Berry were best friends. Ivy was always pretty outgoing and adventurous and jumping into trouble and drama, and was usually the one in need of help, while Sweet Berry was a lil more chill and did her best to rein (heh) Ivy’s antics in and get help when Ivy was in trouble. Ivy and Sweet Berry are now gay.
Morning Glory, as the eldest toy among them, was like… either the calm, collected wise pony of the group who determined when Sunsparkle and Night Star were Worthy of their manes being swapped out, OR, she was the current leader of the ponies and either had to be deposed for tyranny, or stepped aside graciously for Sunsparkle and Night Star to take over (bc they had Cool Manes).
Good times, good times
