Do you have her? Your thoughts? More pics!!


I love this set. I don't think I have her...

[Elva]

Lucky to have her Divine Shine is my favourite G3 set!

[Shaiyeh]

Ahh I wish I had her! Would love to own her, but it's so sad that the glitter disappears. Altho they're kind of cool looking when they're just translucent

Disappears? I've washed mine and the glitter hasn't gone anywhere. I thought that these have been made from a mixture of translucent plastic and glitter, how can the glitter disappear? :0

You're right, the glitter is embedded. But over time, the Divine Shines' glitter tends to dissolve from a reaction with one or more components of the plastic as it ages. My own Secret Wish looks okay for now, but I can tell her days are numbered.

Hard pass, not a fan of this set/translucent ponies in general. Her symbol is so CUTE though!! If she wasn't translucent I'd definitely want her.

I'm having trouble with Flickr right now  but I have a pic of Secret Wish plus a pic of two MIB Divine Shines that have absorbed some of their glitter.


I love the Divine Shines but don't love all of the issues they have.

If it weren't for the aging issues these girls had, I would get her and Tangerine. She's such a pretty pony.

[tailrustedtealeaf]

I'm pariticular with translucent ponies, so I think I'd skip her unless she had lots of glitter. Thankfully this set doesn't appeal to me too much as a whole.

Here's my Secret Wish

Here's my pic of Glitterbelle and FlowerGarland to show how they look when they start losing glitter.

Want! So much want! *o* Lovely symbol, great colors, and my favorite: translucent!

My Glitterbelle is almost glitter-free at this point... Ah well, I still love her. It’s a little odd/disturbing that the glitter in G1 ponies has held up so completely over 35+ years, in light of what’s happening with the Divine Shines...

Same here!

Love this gimmick. Why they couldn't make it so they didn't melt away is soooooo sad. I have a few Divine Shines and they all suffer... but my Sparkle ponies are just fine aside from a little color change.

[EnaRocketQueen]

Saw her in a charity shop, would have got her if she hadn't lost most of her glitter

[Squirtsquirt]

They do that MIB as well...which is so sad.  I have my MIB girls, but they look terrible with the degrading plastic and cloudy appearance.
