G3 Rainbow Dash
This article is about Generation 3 Rainbow Dash. For other incarnations of "Rainbow Dash", see Rainbow Dash (disambiguation). |
G3 Rainbow Dash, as a member of the Core 7 Ponies was released many times. There were less poses of her than releases, but several poses were released with symbol/decoration variations.
Rainbow Dash first appeared in G3. She was included in the switch to G3.5, see G3.5 Rainbow Dash, and again in the big redesign of G4, see G4 Rainbow Dash.
Her head is strongly glued to the neck, and some releases have magnets in their front hooves. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Rainbow Dash has starred in almost all of the G3 My Little Pony cartoons and DVDs, including A Charming Birthday, Dancing in the Clouds, Friends Are Never Far Away, A Very Minty Christmas, The Princess Promenade, The Runaway Rainbow, Greetings From Unicornia, A Very Pony Place and The World's Biggest Tea Party, in all of which her voice was played by Venus Terzo.
Rainbow Dash appears as the narrator and guide to both player and pony in the PC Play Pack; she makes an additional appearance at the game's conclusion in Celebration Castle.
In the later Core 7 cartoons, Meet the Ponies, Waiting for the Winter Wishes Festival, Sweetie Belle's Gumball House Surprise and Twinkle Wish Adventure, her voice actress was changed to Anna Cummer.
Later, she featured in one of the two episodes released on DVD with the G3.5 Family Convertible Playsets, Over Two Rainbows as a Newborn Pony. In those, she was voiced by Brooke Fennel.
Before the G3.5 and Core 7 resets her catchphrase was "Darling", later it became "How dashing!".
