SWEETPOP
If I have a choose a favourite among the Twinkle-Eyed set, it has to be Sweetpop. Even though I was more well acquainted with TV featured characters like Gingerbread, Galaxy and Fizzy, I'd still pick Sweetpop over them any day. It is kind of funny since my friend and I deem Sweetpop, Sky Rocket and Speedy to be rather "Singapore" -ish ponies since unlike the other countries where they had a second set of TEs carrying later characters like Locket and Tic Tac Toe (even if they didn't get Mimic like North America did), all we got in Singapore were the first 6 TEs and these 3 additional mid-set ponies. The oddest part was that we had Sweetpop, Sky Rocket and Speedy in abundance!!! I remembered walking into the shopping centre and finding no other TEs (or maybe a sparse one or two hiding right to the back of the peg), but just these 3 ponies. It made me wonder if they were just unpopular, or was Hasbro just pushing the sales of new characters. Anyway, their impression on me has cemented. I love Speedy and Sky Rocket, but they're less unique because they came out in Europe as well. In fact, I still love Speedy, but somehow Sky Rocket's colour just doesn't stick for me. Sweetpop must exude some mysterious charm of her own that made me fall for her. Normally, I will choose a unicorn as my top favourite since I am almost always partial to unicorns over pegasus ponies. However, Sweetpop's colours smoothly won me over. She had to be in my favourite colour - BLUE and a nice cool looking one at that, and her hair colours just shout "POPSICLE", coupled with a matching name and symbols. She is simply perfect. Mimic may have won the majority vote for mayor, but I'll always choose Sweetpop.
ALTERNATE SWEETPOP
I bought this pony off PKW on the MLPArena. She gave Sweetpop alternate hair colours that I thought were quite fitting as well. I purchased her in a wink. PKW also specialised in one thing - de-BBEing & de-TEing ponies. She can remove their flawed eyes, clay them and paint them to look like they never had externally implanted eyes before. I do not Sweetpop even without the jewel eyes but I still feel rather sorry for her. I don't why but I see the jewel eyes as a TE pony's most treasured asset, and to lose them is SHAME! How can I let my pony live in embarrassment for the rest of her life? She's plastic and can live at least a few hundred years down the road without deteriorating, so that's quite a few centuries of shame - BAD. Lucky for her, there's a craft store near my place that sells flat base rhinestones in many size. Seems like the a trend to buy these nowadays for sticking onto an iPhone. I don't own one, but I'm happy that my ponies benefit from its popularity. Sweetpop is now a TE again, and best part is that her eyes are detachable, so that I can choose to let her be TE or normal, according to my mood.

NEON LOCKET
I'm not sure why my camera wouldn't pick up the right colour, but when I bought this Locket, she was so discoloured that she's evenly neon pink throughout. The photo makes her look normal, but really she's discoloured. Not the regular lavenderish pink you normally have. It's kind of a waste since Locket's hair and eyes are almost perfect, and she comes with her comb pick and original ribbon. I've decided to keep her seeing how interesting she looks ^^ I'm getting a new Locket soon, hopefully, that one won't be discoloured.
