Customs / A Clockwork Orange custom by my dad
« on: March 25, 2024, 08:57:34 AM »
I got this fakie with very disturbing looking eyes in a lot :shocked: It immediately reminded my of this movie my dad used to have on DVD, A Clockwork Orange. I sent him a pic of the fakie and he said you should customize it to look like the guy in the movie! (I did some customs years ago). After I told him I didn't feel like doing that, he said he wanted to do it, lol, this is what he made  :lol: So disturbing! I wouldn't dare putting him with my other ponies :P

Pony Corral / Re: Who is your favourite Celestial pony?
« on: September 07, 2023, 08:44:33 AM »
Oohh it's so surprising for me to see that most people like Aurora best! I like her the least :blush:

Her colors look so random to me! :shocked: They just don't tie in. Her hair, symbol, eyes and antenna are all different colors while the other ponies in the set have repeating colors within their designs (Nova yellow in eyes and symbol, Polaris' hair, eyes and antenna matching the symbol, Milky Way's antenna matching the symbol).

Also Aurora matches the coloring in the original Hasbro concept art the least out of the four. That bugs me. To match she artwork hair should have been more greenish and the eyes less green. Then her coloring would also look less randomly thrown together ^.^ Her color combo in the original artwork makes more sense.

I like Nova and Polaris best :biggrin: (Would have liked it even better if Polaris' swirls were more visible.)

Pony Corral / Re: Ponies rattle when shaken - should I be concerned?
« on: September 07, 2023, 03:18:15 AM »
I've found that sometimes when a pony rattles, it's a little piece of their own plastic that's inside. Where the tail is, a little circle of plastic was cut out of the pony to make a hole. That little circle of plastic ended up inside some of the ponies. Besides this it could also be the washer like other people mentioned.

Pony Corral / Re: Any Basic Fun retro G1 news for 2023?
« on: April 29, 2023, 08:47:25 AM »
It’s possibly more someone at Amazon’s fault than Basic Fun.
I’ve been seeing that a lot with Rainbow High lately that early classified mock up images are being posted as listings months before release date. Even with obvious watermarks across them. That image might have been something they showed retailers as an example of what they were trying to do or used as a reference to show their designers the idea. Still bad to steal but I bet that wasn’t intended by basic fun to be used in that listing at all. The customizer it right to be frustrated but the Celestial Pony designs are Hasbro’s. So, for her to say that BF’s designs are too close to hers is a little unwarranted imo because, like her and BF are using the same source image. I’ve seen the Basic Fun protos in a video and don’t really see them as exact copies.

But at that toy show, two of Basic Fun's Celestial ponies were in the same pose the customizer chose for the ponies. To me that's a very close match which wasn't necessary. Because the concept art from Hasbro is just drawings showing the ponies in non-existing poses, right? So I can understand the customizer is upset not just about their pictures being on Amazon but also about the Basic Fun ones being so similar.

Pony Corral / Re: Are these G3s babies or not?
« on: November 09, 2022, 01:36:54 AM »
To me they seem like they would be maybe like 9,10,11 in human years, haha :)

The term 'baby' pony as used in G1 and G3 by Hasbro is actually quite wrong, right? Because the 'baby ponies' are more like elementary school aged kids. But, only after Hasbro made these G1 'kid ponies' and named them 'babies' they came up with even smaller ones.

'Newborns' who are more like actual babies/toddlers, and 'Teeny Tiny ponies' who are more like actual newborns.

So the naming was kind of lagging behind all the time :')

(EDITED because I wrote primary school where I meant elementary school, mistake because I'm not from US)

Pony Corral / Show me: Cabbage Patch head fakies
« on: September 29, 2022, 12:25:40 PM »
Want to show me your Cabbage Patch head fakies?  :lol:

Recently I've started to love these curious looking fakies. They come with different types of bodies like the Tootsie pose or a body copied/inspired by Magic Meadow Ponies or the bigger Crimp 'n Curl Ponies wearing saddles.

Most have inset eyes instead of painted, which I very much dislike on other fakies (and BBE) but on these I like it somehow. Especially the Tootsie pose ones look so cheeky!

I am so happy! :lol: This is so much more exciting than all the re-releases. So many collectors have dreamed of these being made  :sunny: In the original artwork they have quite long legs, which made me think they would be in the Pony Bride pose if ever produced, but that would mean they're all in the same pose which would be boring. I'm very relieved they did not pick the Sweetheart Sister poses because I don't like those.

MLP Nirvana / Re: Can you help me? PC Dutch, Japan & Italy
« on: December 21, 2020, 10:40:12 AM »
AJ missing few mane plugs at the back $10-15
.......
Thank you very much!
Wow that's a high price for dolphin. That does include the comb right?
I also have Dutch Baby Schoolbag. She's supposed to have the same comb but I only have one of this comb. Maybe it's best to sell the comb seperate so buyers can choose if they want the comb too, as not everyone cares for accesories? I saw a thread of the dutch combs selling for 25-30, is that correct?

Buttons! She was in my childhood collection so I'm probably a little biased here ;) Wow it seems Bonnie Bonnets is the least favorite. I would actually pick her third, after Buttons and Night Glider. And that's not out of pity. Bonnie you're awesome :lol:

Hi! I hope it's okay to put this question here, I couldn't find anything using the search option. Is G2 Teddy rare? The yellow one with blue paw symbol. What's her value? Asking because I have a chance of buying.

Pony Corral / Updated: PC and info on factory error MIB Star Shimmer?
« on: December 09, 2020, 08:15:36 AM »
UPDATE: I'm mostly looking for info and a PC on this MIB Star Shimmer :) Can you tell me if she was also sold in Europe and what I should ask for her? She is a factory error as she is missing the white dot in her eye on display side. There is some damage to the box and the sticker on the back has been lifted.
