late to the show but just started watching my hero academia

also there's an anime i forgot existed I too Watched Ai no Kusabi before, and found it again and oh the feelings

Nice! It's very pretty

I gotta ask about that adorable Mufasa and Simba figure you have though

they're Jim Shore figurings and my xmas present from her last year I also have a Scar figuring to go with.

I went to Target for the first time since 2020 and all of the toys are totally sold out except MLP, which is completely stocked. I was thinking "well, at least ONE of these empty spots HAS to be MLP", but no... I checked the tags and they weren't. Nobody wants these toys. Walmart still has all of the Sunny plushes from last year, boxes and boxes of them, on the shelf. There's so many they had to put excess boxes on the top shelf. Not only that, if you look at Walmart, Amazon, etc toy catalogues for Christmas MLP gets a single dinky showing on a page showing off other more interesting toys. LOLs and Rainbow Highs get full pages, MLP gets a single little picture of Jazz Hooves alongside 20 other brands and that's it.

2022 in general has been terrible. What have we gotten this year? Jazz and MWM? That's it? And one more wave of identical looking poseable figures? Zero brushables aside from the styling size. They had a whole Christmas special and no.... Christmas toys? Even Best Gift Ever had some toy stuff, even if it sucked.

We're in Year2 and we haven't gotten any like... birthday cakes or real party supplies. There have been some paper plates or whatever in some countries at most. Maybe Year3 we'll get something. Anything? Birthday cards? Stockings? Easter baskets? VALENTINES? Any sort of merchandise? Hello? Everything I see is still G4.

We do have a few Christmas ornaments but to be honest everything from G5 is lackluster. They use the same models for everything. Even if it's third party, everything is identical. Even G4 was marginally more exciting because everyone had to make their own sculpts for the characters. Now they just use the same thing over... and over... and over... and over... and over...

Like what's the problem? Is G5 actually doing bad? Does Hasbro not have faith?

MLP's 40th is coming up. Just days away, even. Hasbro, pick up the pace! Have some passion! Show some respect! Though I expect all of that from Basic Fun instead...

its a lack of variety in toys, even G4 was not doing as well as people were thinking, especially close to the end which i think is why they did a style switch on toys to see if it'd save the line. the show being Netflix only -correct me if wrong i don't have cable- kids are getting tired of the same ponys in the same mold  with new accessories. they haven't learned from g4 that the core ponies over and over again isn't a money maker other than for customizers.

I've seen brushable ponies in Dollar General but thats about the only place i've seen them, mine has a Zipp and a Sunny still on the shelf.

got my sister a Belle and  Beast Jim Shore figure as the 1 pricey gift we get each other we'll do a bunch of small fun gifts as well, I already know what she's getting me simply due to the fact that my switch -its a 2017 model with known battery issues- is finally dying out and she told me to not buy another lol.
rest of the family? no clue.

heh i'm looking at the website for that... and they have ponies up on consignment a ss sundance with bridle a windy and they had a wavedancer and there are some accessories neat.

just wore my ears and tail like normal for working in and i have halloween leggings and a lazy costume shirt on lol we've had.. 2 sets of trick or treaters so far

Wow, the hair looks amazing!  I don't have any experience with the perfume puff ponies, their hair intimidates me...but it looks like you did an amazing job 

this is the only one I own and with how bad it looked i honestly was worried it was rotted out and was going to just fall out.
