The Dollhouse / Re: Monster High returns again!
« Last post by Carrehz on Today at 08:49:11 AM »
The overseas distribution of G3 really is weird :( It takes so long for anything new to turn up over here that it's basically killed my interest in the line. I mean, I still love it and there's G3 dolls I'd love to get, but when I don't know when or even IF they'll turn up over here, it's hard to keep up the enthusiasm... especially since shipping from the US is even more expensive now than it was back in the G1 days, so that's not really an option now either :/

The Creature is cool! She's not one I'd be interested in getting personally, but I like her.

The new LPS are definitely wider spread than the BF ponies. I've always had a hard time finding the ponies, but the LPS I've found tons of stock of in every toy/"nerdy" shop I've been into in the past few months.

I know the BF line won't last forever... but I hope it lasts at least a little bit longer :think:

Pony Corral / Re: characters that should have toys but don't

Even G1's Tales didn't have every character made. The most common G1 Customs are of Teddy, Lancer, Ace, & Miss Hackney, so what does that tell you???

YES!!!! I can't believe this has never been rectified!!!

G4 Lighting dust and the other washouts. There is plenty of wonderbolt stuff.

Plus the fashion designers Rarity recrutes : Lilly Lace, Star streak and Inky rose.

And the two unicorns from canterlot : Sunshine Smiles and Moonlight Raven.

Yeah, I'm one of those "locked away from society" but it's not really by choice. I don't drive, never have. There is no public transport here. There is a bus of sorts, but you need to call 48 hours ahead and it costs money. I live day to day because my pain and mental function vary day to day. I don't know how I'll feel in 48 hours, so why book a trip?

I'm actually thankful for COVID and the lockdown in a way. I use Zoom to see my psyche and therapist and it's SO much better than having to go to the office and everything that happens between that and coming home. Honestly, if I had to be physically seen? I would probably cancel a lot of my appointments. And that doesn't help me.

I'm all for technology. I think we need to rely on it to reach a Utopia, where robots do all the work and humans can enjoy life. And there have been major advancements even in recent years. But like Taffeta said, society as a whole isn't set up for all inclusiveness. It's all old infrastructure and most cities don't want to put the work in the make things better. Oh, they'll install spikes on benches but ramps and handrails is too hard or costs too much money.



Pokey - I agree. Jealous and insecure, for sure. I also get the "I could do that too" from people about my miniatures sometimes.

I don't really do custom pieces either. I've taken commissions but I always regret it.

I've been doing these little sheep doodles on another site that has ponies. I was doing them for free, but a friend poked me and said I should open a shop (it would be for game currency) so I asked for a price check. A couple of people have been very rude in my thread. Saying that anyone can draw a blob or glowing line and get lots of the game currency for it. That people like me who aren't artists make REAL artists feel bad. Blah blah blah.

People who make comments like that are a combination of jealous and insecure.  I create Pokemon coloring pages--I started years ago, back when there were NO official Pokemon coloring books.  I have a friend who was really interested in what I was working on because she also wanted to color Pokemon.  We were discussing it in front of her brother who informed me in a sneering tone that it wasn't that hard and he could do that.  So my response was, "Yeah, but will you?"  I think it shocked him that I had the audacity to snap back at him.  (He's very spoiled, to the point where their mother would blame my friend if he didn't eat because, even now, as an adult, he doesn't know how to make himself a peanut butter sandwich.)  He doesn't like me and that's fine.  I think he's a {word I shouldn't use on this site}.  I've made 600+ Pokemon coloring pages so far and plan to complete the entire set.  The kids at the library where I work love them. 

I am currently working on pieces to sell at a big event a few towns over.  I don't do custom pieces.  I create what I want and if people buy them, great.  But does that make me NOT an artist?  Because I do something that someone else claims they can do or I don't take commissions?  I don't think so.  I'm an artist whether someone else likes it or not.  There are lots of famous art pieces that I think are hideous and wouldn't have paid money for but they're in museums so obviously someone out there thought they had value. 

And it's been my experience that the people who are supposed to have my pieces don't always show up at the first place I show them.  Sometimes it takes a few times before a piece sells.  I don't take it personally.  I would rather my pieces go to someone who truly enjoys them rather than selling them just to sell them.  If you're only an artist to make money, it will show.  But when you love what you do, the people who also love what you do will find you. 

Which reminds me...I really need to remember to start taking pictures of what I create and adding them to my DA page.  I haven't added anything but coloring pages since I started making resin pieces.

I hope that BF sees how popular the MLP products have been and go with releasing Baby Ponies or even the Flutters. 
I really didn't love the Original 6 ponies in the first place as a child, I liked the mid-years.  Now we have what, 4 re-releases of them?  Too many to keep track of! We thought Cotton Candy was the OG "too many of her" pony... yeah...
