Christmas surprise...from my sister

[Taffeta]

So this isn't as amazing as some of the other awesome Christmas brags I've seen, but it means a lot to me because of the amount of effort involved on my sister's behalf.

I also never get pony stuff for Christmas, because the stuff I need for my collection is impossible to get, and too complicated to ask for even if that wasn't the case. I was in fact bemoaning how I missed the pony-under-the-tree magic.

So, there's literally ONE Equestria Doll I really want. And she's not available over here. Whether she will be or not, I don't know - but she wasn't here for Christmas, and UK TRU really don't care.

Yep, obviously I'm talking about Chrysalis

I put her on my Christmas list, just in case, but I really didn't expect to get her.

And then, yesterday, I unwrapped this:

My sister had gone to a LOT of trouble to obtain her, since TRU here doesn't have her, and TRU in America won't ship overseas. I suspect she may have had to resort to Ebay although she won't say exactly where she came from. Moreover, apparently the pony was delivered here by UPS, who left the package out in the rain without a note - but, fortunately, Chrysalis doesn't have a card box and she survived the experience.

She is definitely one of the prettiest Equestria Dolls I've seen, and I am so happy with her.

So I'm really grateful to my sister for the trouble she went to to obtain her for me It was a really nice Christmas on all levels, but it was a truly unexpected pony surprise to have Chrysalis now sitting on my shelf

(She also bought me the mug, in the picture xD)

Congrats! I'm not a huge EQ fan but I gotta say that Chrysalis is almost pretty enough to make me change my mind.
And that mug looks adorable!

Thanks all Yep, I was really touched that she went to the effort to get her, and the doll was definitely worth the waiting for xD.
