I got my hands on the Friendship Celebration Collection from TRU (the gift set that contains several ponies that were released in blind bags) and just want to give a small warning:
If you're the kind of collector who requires your ponies to be pristine, then for goodness' sakes DO NOT let the ponies "hold" the clip-on accessories! They WILL leave dents on your tiny ponies! (Very tiny dents, but still.) (I also found a slightly larger dent on Blossomforth that I have no idea where it came from, when all I did was put her in a pile with the others?)
Also, the plate with a slice of cake on it was completely warped from the plastic packaging, if you're the kind who cares about cake plates.
I'm grateful I just buy these to play with and customize! Seriously, what's the deal with the plastic Hasbro is using these days?
Not really a big deal, but I know some of us are quite picky.
