Do all Equestria Girls, standard and deluxe have a huge bald spot?
« on: September 04, 2013, 12:36:44 PM »
I was planning on getting some Equestria Girls as a self-christmas present this year, but there is no chance I'm bothering if they all have one of these huge patches of bald

Does anybody with a few deluxe and/or standard dolls know if they all have this? I'm slightly more interested in the deluxe's if possible.

My deluxe Fluttershy kind of has one, but she's so thickly rooted I never noticed until I went looking for it.

Thats interesting. So is it not really noticeable, even when you style it?

You have to be looking to find the bald spots, honestly, if you don't style the hair out of it's original form, you can't tell, and if you did, you wouldn't lift it up like that to show off the bald spot.

Yeah I can see some baldness on Sunset shimmer if I pull her hair apart, but why would I do that?

Ewwww. :/ I haven't looked too hard at my deluxe Fluttershy yet for a bald spot, but I certainly never noticed one.

I know it looks fine normally, but it could really be a problem depending on how you're choosing to style the doll's hair.

Wow, that's a huge bald spot :shocked: I keep mine MIB so I have no idea. I hope they're not all like that! I imagine the basic dolls aren't going to be great quality since they're cheaper, but maybe if you style it differently then it won't show the bald spot :)

That's kind of cheap. :/  Half the fun of a fashion character doll is getting to restyle her all kinds of ways to suit your imagination. That'd put a real dent in it for me. If you're skilled with rerooting I'd suggest giving her some implants. :D

I guess I'm a weirdo then for desperately preferring to keep their hair as much like the factory as possible.

But then again, this thread just makes me fear for how much more negativity it'll give to the dolls.

Well for me, barbie was never just barbie.  She was many things, so she had to have hair style and wardrobe changes to match.  I guess it's all about how you collect.  If you collect to look at, then they're fine as is.  If you collect to rearrange, and make it your own, then it can be seen as a little disappointing.
Technically speaking a thinner head of hair will be a lot easier to style, but the placement could have been a little less obvious.
I wouldn't worry too much about collector complaints affecting the sales on these suckers. If collectors don't care for the dolls that won't stop parents from buying them for their kids.  Kids are more indiscriminate and also the target audience.  Hence quality control not so important.  Collectors are only like..what?  5% of the targeted demographics if that.

Hmmm typical of the cheaply made toys of today...I would totally add more plugs and add more hair, that would drive me insane :crazy:

I honestly wouldn't worry about the 'negativity' only because most of the buyers, I believe, are not on MLP arena and don't even check here. But I will make a note of this, these dolls are meant to be played with... some kid will notice but whether or not they will care is another story... Now if I was a kid and saw that well it makes pigtails/braids harder to do without the baldness showing :P

Dont most cheap dolls have those sort of bald spots? :huh:

But these aren't cheap! They're kinda expensive! I'm interested to see how much a problem this turns out to be. I was disgusted with G3 Momma Dash for this reason. If you can't style the hair, just make it plastic molded hair! Ugh, I hope this is a fluke.
