Quick Magial Mane Rarity Review
« on: November 15, 2019, 07:54:28 AM »
...Well, if 15 minutes is quick.
It's very unpolished, excuse the lack of background music. I just edited out a few obvious abilities for re-takes (might involve me yelling at my cats).
Things of note:
-The body seems to be of hard plastic
-Elastics are surprises now. Great.
-Pretty sweet sticker not gonna lie.

Thank you for the fully detailed review.

 I like the colors better then her normal purple/hot pink.

I like that the tail is fuller and aligned in the proper place.

I don't like the big eyes, but I do like the detailing in them.

The dual-gimmicks are decentish.

The mould is awful all around.

The expression is yuck.

It looks like someone surgically removed her jaw and that's just plain sad.

The horizontal slots are odd.

I don't like that she looks even balder.

The head is 50% more bulbous.

It looks like she doesn't have trouble balancing.

Thanks for the review!  I like that her tail is thicker but I suspect that the only reason is because of the gimmick.

Yeah that tail is THICK! I'll have to grab the other ones when they come out but they look especially bald compared to her.

Funny review!  I think you did a good job.

I'm not really into fashion sized ponies so I know I won't get this one either.  But I enjoyed seeing how much you liked her.

The ending :lol:

I agree, elastics as "surprises" are lame. Especially when the container is not resealable. You throw more plastic away than what you get in these surprise elastics.

The hair change gimmick is also not exactly great. That is a faint blue, I was expecting Glory hairstreaks.

I could've sworn the packaging/some stock photo showed the blue was supposed to become purple, but I am away from the box until late today and might be misremembering.
I can't wait to take pictures of an elastic and put it on the wiki as an accessory. :P Imagine accessory collectors in a few years-theyll be quite hard to find!

The hair gimmick kind of makes me twitch.

I mean, I love hair styling ponies but you know what will happen here.

This is the same hank of hair being pulled through inside the pony.

That will put wear on the fibres.

It will damage them and probably ultimately make frizz.

And the colour change ones - which will probably fluff up more easily because of what they are, think watercolor sea ponies and seaside babies - is part of this tug of war going on between the head hair and the tail hair.

The whole thing is kind of cheap and nasty, but also asking for hair trouble down the line.

"Rainbow Dash, really?" LOL
"Play ring toss" LOL again

Thanks for the review. The hair gimmick is meh, and the little accessory bag is a big disappointment.

I probably wait until it goes on sale after Xmas to get it, if ever.

PS: The overbite makes here look like Mortimer Snerd :(

Great review!
I find it baffling elastics count as not one but two surprises.

LOL, great to see a detailed review, and you're really funny! "everybody's upset, let's just look at the horse" absolutely killed me  :lmao:

I don't think I'll be buying these fashion styles, but now I'm tempted to buy an extra normal size one to see how they come apart  :lol:

Oooh thanks for posting, this is a really good review and was a lot of fun to watch! (Cat interruptions made me laugh a bunch of times xD)

Good to hear the hair quality is okay! Elastics as surprises though, ahahaha.

All I can think though is, Oh girl, where is your JAW..

Thanks for the detailed review!  The tail / mane growing gimmick is pretty cool!

I wonder if she'll be prone to issues with her mechanism like the BnGs?
