My preorder for grotty looking Starshine from AmazonUK is still active. :P It's set for 15 August release at present (one day after the collectors ponies) but the product link is still dead.

What's grotty mean?

In UK slang grotty means not very good, a bit dirty/unkempt etc. Another word similar is 'manky'. Don't know the exact equivalent in other countries (but would be interested to learn)

Thank you. :)

Sorry Leaveawhisper didn't mean to be incomprehensible and thank you Poserbeachball for translating me. :p
Icky might be another way of describing it. And I adore manky (the word not the state) haven't used it in ages.

You weren't being incomprehensible. I learned a new word today. :)

I'm so used to seeing manky written as Mankey, a monkey Pokémon.

Grotty and manky are the opposite of treat. 

"That looks a treat" = That is beautiful!

"What a treat!" = OOOOOOOOOOOOOO I like it

"I found a grotty MLP with utterly manky hair in our new garden" = OMG this pony has been covered in stains and garden slime and her hair is all rusty-crusty from all the water damage from being left outside 

ahhhhhhhhh UK slang is awesome.

There's something not quite right about that use of treat...

I mean we do use it - I would say "that pony cleaned up a treat" or maybe "that meal went down a treat"...but while I guess it's correct, I don't often hear people say "looks a treat" in that way.

Maybe it's regional? Anyone else use that phrase?

In pony terms I'd say the opposite of grotty is probably minty. :)

Yeah I really think it's regional how one uses it.  Like all things British, right?  ;)

We've been watching a LOT of UK Netflix recently :D

Maybe it's also generational. I don't know. It sounds a bit fuddy duddy to me to use it that way. Maybe it's just me being weird. Don't mind me :) As you were :D
