Title: Hanging Mobile of Dreamcastle
Post by: galaxia.rose on March 20, 2018, 05:07:12 PM
Hello :)
I was wondering if anyone can help me, I have an old carded hanging mobile of the Dream castle and various ponies, and can't seem to find any information online about it..
It says on the main card it was printed in England by Ladybird and has Hasbro Inc on there too.

Does anyone else have this item or any info about it please?

Thank you :)

Yep, I have it too. I bought it from a Brittish seller. I would have to dig it out to tell you more. What else do you want to know?

Ummmm, I remember that it features some UK ponies. I remember Gypsy and Honeycomb, and I think Hopscotch and Snowflake are on there too. Majesty as well, though of course she's not a UK exclusive.

I really like mobiles in general, so I wanted it a lot. It's fairly hard to find, but not super rare.

Thank you for your reply :)

I suppose as I haven't found anything online about it I wondered if it was a proper product I suppose, if that makes sense! I've had this one for so long I can't remember what I paid for it even, but I know I purchased here in the UK.
I'm guessing it was a UK product as it says on the back printed in England, but wasn't sure..

I'll attach the pic of the main card of the item, I currently have it assembled as it had been hung up on display for awhile, and I was worried about undoing it all and damaging it!

I've spent the last few years parting with my collection, and this was one item I kept back as I couldnt even find a picture or any mention of a Mobile anywhere, so I've no idea on value..

Here is a pic, I'm guessing yours is the same?

I have this too. I had it as a kid and it used to hang in my room. Sadly I don't have a photo...but yes it is real UK merch.

There's SOOOOOOOO much merch out there; not everything is well documented. But yes, it's legit. :)

maybe some creatives might want to make other MLP places/buildings into mobiles... hmhmhmh  Paradise Estate?  the Crystal Castle from FIM?  Ponyville?

I just randomly found the Majesty from mine in my printer tray. That's a weird place to find a cardboard pony. Yours looks really pretty. It's very nostalgic. I think mine is int he attic (the rest of it anyway xD) but I remember as a child having it hanging from my ceiling for a number of years. I loved it a lot :) It's so nice to see it again :D

Good luck with the auction :)

And yeah, there's a ton of merch from al different corners of the world and we're always discovering new things from different places. I sold a lot of my non-childhood acquired merch but still pulled a ton of stuff from the attic a couple of years ago and I'm still fascinated by how cute some of the items are.

I always think of this mobile in conjunction with the club wall frieze that also had Snowflake on (she was my childhood pony so I remember her particularly, her and CJ especially) which I also had all around my walls as a child <3.
