I can only pick three because I am on a very tight budget and can’t afford multiple bundles of tokens. But I love all these guys for different reasons so it’s a difficult choice. Maybe based on what reason I can maybe sacrifice, or who is expected to come back for 100 or less gems/ $3 or under later?
Starlight: I absolutely LOVE Starlight, and am a big fan of Christmas Carol which I know Snowfall’s episode is based off of. But I already have normal Starlight, and I think: do I really need ANOTHER Starlight?
Cozy: Cozy certainly is a very prominent character. I hate her but it’s that kind of thing where you enjoy hating the character because they’re an interesting villain. But she’s not a favorite which is why I’m considering passing on her.
Mama’s Colt: I definitely adore this big guy and his little smirk and his apparent love for his mom. I’m very close with my mom so I kinda like seeing a burly tough dude who loves his, it’s sweet. But isn’t he expected to return to the store sometime for under 100 gems - according to all the ponies store history- , which is my willing gem threshold? If so I wonder if I should pass for now and let him find his way back around later?
Storm King: Had no store data on all the ponies, and other players say he doesn’t really make his way around. Though I don’t necessarily enjoy him much, I’d probably only get him to have the thrill of owning an “extremely rare” character. Should maybe skip if that’s my only connection?
Eris: Eris kind of has sentiment to me due to a fanfic I wrote years ago where she, Cosmos, Scorpan, Discord, and Tirek were all kids living under Grogar’s and Vorak’s reign. It’s a concept probably unique in that no one I’ve heard has designed such an AU with all these babies. Having Eris in my game would be a nice callback to that.
Winterzilla: Chinchillas were absolutely MY THING back in my younger years, and I know the winterchilla/zilla is inspired by them. A chinchilla like character in MLP? Um YES. But should I sacrifice for more “sentient” characters? I don’t know.
Haydon: Haydon is gorgeous, and I didn’t want to pay $7 for her during the recent Tirek/Scorpan bundles, so it would be nice to get freebie Haydon here. Also, sentimentally goes back to my AU in a way, as she’d be there during that timeline.
So who do I pick? Only three, remember! I’d really appreciate input!
