I came across a listing for a UK Downy Tails on eBay earlier and I absolutely love her colors. Unfortunately, she is too expensive for my liking, but I thought I’d ask you all what you think about the line. According to the Wiki, it ran from 1986 to 1987 as an attempt to expand the My Little Pony brand into other animals. Do you collect them?

I personally think they’re alright. I’d probably only invest in UK Downy Tails (if she was less expensive). However, I do think their stands are cute!

I really like them but don't have any as of now.
The only ones i don't like are the Tropicals. The eyes creep me out for some reason.
 
I think they’re really cute but I’m probably bias because I love birds! If they pop up for cheap or I get them in pony bundles then I’ll be buying them and keeping them :)

I already collect these toys dogs called puppy dog tails from I think the 90s that are much like my little pony though they’re not by hasbro, I have susie and lucky

I used to collect them, although only through car boot sales (garage sales) and the like. I kept a couple that I really liked, but space has become a major issue for me lately! I've still kept a couple of ones I like.

I just wish it was easier to price check them - I'm pretty sure mine are too high, but I can only ever find a couple of completed eBay listings.
 
I have some. A couple are from childhood. I don't actively seek them out but if I see them at a thrift store or in a pony lot, I do get them.

Same with the Mattel kitties that were out around that same time.
 
I got one of the fuzzy tummies when I was a kid so as an adult I finished collecting the others from the set. For whatever reason I only like those ones and none of the ones with symbols.

I would LOVE to get ahold of the UK fluffy tummies but yeah, they’re pricey.
 
I like them! I collect them, but it's not a high priority for me. I'll grab them if I think I see them going for a good price, and there aren't too many flaws with them. Sometimes, though, I'll pass them by because I have other priorities at the moment.

I don't have any of the fan tails yet, as those are a lot harder to find (especially with their fans intact, as far as I know).
 
I have always thought that they are adorable, but I don't need to start another collection. <3
 
I like them! I had Pina Colada when I was a kid. The only issue with these long tail designs in toys is they make it so tempting for big brother or the awful neighbor kid to whip them around like a bludgeoning weapon or chuck them far away. My neighbor chucked mine high up into a pine tree where it got stuck. For the next ten years we watched her change color from vivid orange to snow white as time and weather slowly decayed her. It was at our bus stop so I could look up and see her every day. I was upset at first but after a while I accepted it and she became a regular conversation piece.

Maybe someday I'll get myself a replacement and make sure no one treats her badly this time.

This is something little me would 100% have done.

Dang, ten years and she never fell down!?
 
I have maybe 10 or 15 of them or so Including the salon house. They are all, except one, in my storage now due to space issues. I also downsized my collection recently too.

I kept the one I had since childhood in my present display- Tu-Tu Tails
 
I had 2 growing up, found more at thrift stores & garage sales. Never knew their real names until I was asked by my niece last fall.
:lolpony:

So these were Windsong (Tinsel) & Tiny (Baby Tinker) & Teddy (Baby Teddi). Not pictured are Rainsong (Tickle, given to my niece) & Lovesong (True Love, somewhere in Tabbicat's room). They were very loved by kids I babysat & even featured in a short pony-tails crossover fanfiction made for two of my favorite goobers.

Having seen the database for them, I would definitely try to collect another from the original set, Twinkle or Twilight. Completely agree with you, @Sapphire Seasong, there's something about those Tropicals' eyes!
 
They're cute! I have one now that was at a flea market that I just couldn't leave behind. I had a different one when I was a kid, for some reason I loved to clip it to my finger until I couldn't stand it anymore lol

Anybody have suggestions for displaying them when they don't have their stand? Stands seem to be hard to come by, somebody needs to 3D print them and sell them

Some people do make repro stands. I've also seen some people use these thin plastic bars.

I love their big goofy eyes!!! true love tails might be my favorite... but im a sucker for anything with hearts on them hehe!
