Hi everyone, I'm hoping to find my Strawberry Scoops a loving new home. 🍓

Due to significant international postal delays, I need to keep this sale local within Australia. I'm happy to post locally, otherwise pickup in Melbourne City.

She's in great condition as far as I can tell, there's light wear to the box and dents in the plastic window, but otherwise all tape is still sealed. Please comment here or message me to make an offer - I've had her for many years now and do not know what price to ask for her anymore. I really want her to go to a great new home 💕

I love Celestia & Nightmare, and these two seemed to be aimed towards adult collectors. Not so much a fan of the movable action figure types, but that's because I like ponies for display rather than play :)

I love how they're in action poses; I do like Funko ponies but I am tired of all the same-same passive standing poses. I always dreamed about getting Celestia in some sort of action pose, and it actually happened. Not only that but she's 8 inches high! And an 8 inch, show-accurate Nightmare to match? I love this line. I'm glad they came out with something a little more innovative. I thought I was done buying pony merch until these came out :biggrin:

My inner scientist needs clarification on what is meant by the term 'alien'. Considering the vastness of the universe, I wouldn't be surprised if life has evolved elsewhere. But even if life has evolved elsewhere, it is unlikely to be intelligent as most people tend to picture aliens. And given the magnitude of space and considering that there is no legitimate evidence for alien visitation, I don't entertain the idea of aliens visiting earth at all. Nor do I think it likely they will ever visit :P

Thank you all so, so much helping me with my mystery FrankenRarity  :green:

Yes, she was sold as a 'prototype'. I have the very same at home. Maybe from the same seller ?
I think I can find back exactly when and where mine was from, if you wish. Just have to have a look in my file...
Cool! Mine came in a bag with 20 other ponies, and I never noticed until now that Rarity was a little different. Thanks for the info  :biggrin:

She came directly from a wholesaler in China. I don't think she's a Neon Rarity with symbols removed, as the cutie mark is on the wrong side. Sounds like she's a frankenpony... body of one Rarity, and the head of Neon Rarity with symbols removed, or something  :P

Pony Corral / Help Me ID This Rarity?
« on: March 06, 2016, 09:22:42 PM »
I cannot identify my Rarity. I've checked the G4 databases on MLPMerch and Strawberry Reef, and now I'm not sure where to look. She's got the mane of Rainbow Power Neon Rarity, but her body markings are different. Perhaps I missed something on the databases... any ideas? She doesn't strike me as a fakie...  :shrug:

Hope I haven't missed something obvious  :blush:  Thank you all :)

Price Check Archives / PC: MIB Sippin' Soda Pony
« on: March 05, 2016, 06:27:25 PM »
Hi everyone. Hoping you guys can help me out with a price check  :)  I have a MIB Strawberry Scoops in my collection, but I've come to realise I would rather have her loose to display. As such I am considering selling her, but haven't a clue what she is worth, and was unable to find any recent eBay auctions.

Photos are in the spoiler below. There are dents but no cracks or tears in the outer plastic of the box. There is some wear and tear on the cardboard, and a patch of yellowing on the upper right of the front where a price sticker once was. There is some tape holding the box closed at the back - tape is in tact with some dirt under it - but I have no idea if the tape is original.

If anybody has any input, that would be wonderful. Thank you all so much :biggrin:

Off Topic / Re: How do you take your caffeine?
« on: February 24, 2016, 07:51:12 PM »
I used to be a huge coffee fanatic, but stopped drinking it several years ago after having ~10 cups one day while working on an assignment... I was simultaneously coming down with the flu, and all the caffeine made me so much sicker I haven't touched coffee since. But I do seriously love Coke Zero. Every few months I get myself a can and say I'll just have one, which always turns into a week-long sleepless binge. Day to day I try to stay away from strong sources of caffeine, and stick to white tea.

I carry two keys that I attach to my work security pass. One is the key to my complex and apartment. Now that I come to think of it, I have absolutely no idea what the second key is for, even though I've been carrying it for years...  :shrug:

I don't think this video was posted here yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79RBfjFGNe4 :)

Enjoy! ^.^

Thank you very much for posting this. Definitely some of the best G4 merch I've ever seen. They mentioned the guardians of harmony Celestia & Nightmare are 8"... I can't wait to see these in person! A big action pose Celestia with a crystal mane? The pony gods have answered my prayers  :heart:   :P

Yay for a bunch of new characters! The pearlised brushables are gorgeous, and it's great to see fashion styles of non mane 6 characters. Gosh, and the Nightmare Night collection... I passed on the sweet apple acres stuff, but these are quite original. Twilight in her Starswirl costume is a must for me... too cute  :)  Cannot wait for the Guardians stuff too. I am completely out of display space in my house, but wow, this merch is some of the best I've ever seen.

Oh my gosh. Celestia and Nightmare Moon look amazing. And angry. And the sculpts are stunning. I've always wanted a Celestia in some sort of action pose... what a beauty! Hope they look as good when produced  :heart:

I usually drink a blend of raspberry and lemongrass. I also like peppermint & licorice root tea, and white tea with strawberry leaves :)
