barbies VRS my little pony
« on: Saturday 06 August 2011, 12:30 am »
did you grow up with both or just one? I grew up with both and I  loved the my little  ponies better than the barbies.  In fact i used to pay with my baby sister for hours with the ponies.

I had Barbies. No ponies. Well, I got one pink one somewhere along the line but I'm not sure I ever took it out when playing with my other toys. :D

MLP!!  ;D
My aunt gave me a couple of barbies and their heads fell off even though I only played with them when friends came over.

I like them both. And I played with them both, but not together. The scale was off.

I had a little bit of everything. Barbie, Jem, Maxie, SSC, Lady Lovelylocks, MLP, She-Ra, Rainbow Brite, Popples, Rose Petal Place, Sylvanian Families, Hot Looks. The scale was all over the place! Hot Looks I played with on their own, but the others would all mix together. Buster Slydale, the brother in the Sylvanian fox family, would always steal Barbie's Ferrari. Heh.

uneven scale does not hinder overactive imaginations.


So Barbie had a huge family of like 50 blonde people, with two brown-haired friends.. then there were the redhead girls that lived next door (two tyco Ariel dolls and my sister's old Strawberry Shortcake), and the fat kid from down the street (Cherry Merry Muffin's Banancy). So then Barbie and her family started being evil and decided they wanted to enslave the ponies from another land nearby and Barbie and Ken began cruising in their blue jeep making raids on the ponies and towing them away in their shoebox horse trailer. To make them work the farm and sell their pretty colored hair. The ponies couldn't really do anything about it because they had their own drama.. earth ponies thought they were way cooler than the pegasi and unicorns because they were actually super jealous of their abilities, so they usually kicked them out. Since the earth ponies couldn't do any magic or flying themselves, they couldn't create a good enough defense. Finally the sparkle babies got together (two earth ponies, a pegasi and a uni) and teamed up to outsmart Barbie and release all the kidnapped ponies. They did such a good job overcoming adversity and saving all the ponies of Dream Valley that even the stars themselves were proud of them. So the stars sent down magical sparkles that got imbedded in the ponies' skin, making the four of them extra special, but matching between them. Then they came down the hill and all the other ponies were like "oooohhh, ahhhhhh!" and so super impressed with the sparkles that it convinced them to stop being jerks to all the unicorns and poor Glittering Gem, my only adult pegasus pony.

Barbie also learned a lesson when all of her pets decided she was a horrible person and ran away to be with the ponies (this included 101 Dalmatians Pongo and Lucky from McDonalds, Oliver And Company's Dodger fingerpuppet from BK, a Pretty Kitty, a few random LPS, the purple mini elephant from the Animal Lovin' Barbie playset, Bambi and Thumper from McDonalds, two Secret Surprise puppies and an eraser shaped like a bird).


..yeah ..I had a lot of spare time when I was 8.
Always looking for my little ponies!

I had MLPs and I had Barbies, but they didn't socialise. The Barbies had their own horses, which I loved because their long manes and larger size allowed more elaborate hair-styles than MLPs. Likewise, the MLPs didn't need any humans in their world. They were very happy on their own.

I had barbies and ponies but like the ponies better . We had a few play sets for the ponies that did not survive childhood but I had a ton of fun playing with them.

I had both but not nearly as many barbies as MLP- they were my favorite.  I still have most of the ones I had back then!!  Although I had more barbie "pieces" (houses and props and such) then for the MLP.  I also kept a few select barbies with special meaning or that were my favorite.

I had both, but had more barbies... I was a barbie fanatic, can't imagine why now... lol. I had MLPs but a fakie was my absolute favorite. She was brown with a blonde mane.

I grew up with both but I prefer the my little ponies now.  My pony herd has been growing and I'm trying to shrink my legion of Barbies.

the barbies i had were my moms but we do not know where they are right now! in all we are planing to sell them if we find them to someone who will love and play with them. looking back i wish i had bought more MLP when i found them at the flea markets. Even now i still have a soft spot for my MLP and am now seeking to find the rest i am after.
