Off Topic / Re: Does Pro Active acne treatment work?
« on: August 14, 2017, 05:14:46 PM »
I used to use it ten years ago when my acne was pretty bad. I didn't get bad acne until around age 21 though. It did a great job clearing me up. However if you use it for too long it can do some pretty heavy skin damage since it's potent stuff.

They have other lines like body wash and whatnot. I never tried those. Just like anything you need to remember not to use it in excess. Best policy is regular use, not over-use.

Pony Corral / Re: My Little Pony: The Movie BAB Plushies Incoming!

I've been able to resist all of the BAB plushies except one... And I'm pretty happy with my Zecora! But Tempest Shadow is a really great looking character...

soo pretty!

I remember a LONG time ago I saw a mail-order baby sugarbaby in a thrift store. Unfortunately she was cracked the whole way through  :cry:

Thrifting is the BEST!

Thanks for sharing the Hot Topic card!  Does anyone know what "Club 28" means under pearly Firefly?
That means there are only 28 made in total!

Pony Corral / Re: Cleaning Flocked ponies

I normally just use a toothbrush alot of scrubing with tooth paste in cold water.  I guess my so soft ponies like to smell minty fresh.
This is what I used to do! It didn't ever take any of the really nasty stuff out, but I was afraid I would bleach the cutie marks or something if I used anything harsher.

I love threads like this. The oxy clean is a good idea.

I have the Carousel in storage but I can't imagine I have all of the components, and it's in rough shape! I"ll see if I can dig it out for you.

I REALLY want to support more G1 merch... but I'm not going to spend $15 on something that, to me, looks ugly and I wouldn't even want to display it. :\ The symbol doesn't look very well printed with those big thick lines (maybe that's just Princess Sparkle?), and I hate when they only print the symbol on one side. Even Funko fixed that after the first wave!

Also the price to me is a turn off. I could see spending up to $8 or maybe $9 on something that sized (even that is pushing the limit...), but not $13-$15. It's the same size as an actual MLP and those are $5!

I think it's funny though that, of the three people who have bought them in this thread, two of the three got Gusty and she's supposed to be one of the uncommon ones. XD

I did notice we have 2/3 outstanding pony luck in this thread, haha.

The problem with the pricing, as anyone on the Genie team can tell you, is the production quantity.  Our concept of what a pony should cost, or any toy, is based on the kind of production pricing that Hasbro or Disney or Mattel have been bringing to us for decades.  They make huge lots of toys based on deep pockets, massive distribution networks and demand, and warehouses as big as they want to hold all that stock until it disappears.

With the limited demand for G1 retro stuff, we are never going to see production quantities and therefore prices like we are used to for current-generation toys.  It's sadly just never going to happen, unless perhaps the bronies all fall in love with G1 or something like that.  Until then, even Hallmark ornaments are going to be $14 and up.  Retro G1 merch is simply going to cost more and if we want it, that's just what we're going to have to pay.

This! Plus, consider that TLS is making a different kind of product. These figures are more than just hollow display pieces - they are super heavy and really detailed. They are more expensive to make and assemble than a regular figure.

These are cute! Does anyone know if Wal Mart will carry them?
Right now the only vendors for sure are Hot Topic and Books a Million, each of which have their own case.

So these have hit the Hot Topic stores in SoCal. I went on a hunt yesterday for them :) AND I ENDED UP WITH A TON OF SPARES I'LL BE POSTING IN THE FOR SALE SECTION!!! Anyone can PM me if interested in these.

But what I know is this:

TLS ponies run $15.50 at Hot Topic before tax or discounts. TLS sold them at Comic Con for $18 each, both the blind box and the comic con exclusives. Entertainment earth is selling them at $14.99 each, so anyone who is selling them on eBay for $18 or less with free shipping probably isn't making very much, if anything at all.

Hot Topic has three chase figures: 1/24 Glow Applejack, 1/48 Clear Crystal/Glittery Minty, and 1/96 Clear Crystal/Glittery Princess Sparkle. There's also a C28 Pearlized Firefly and ONE gold Firefly for all of the HT cases. Each HT only got one case and there's 12 figures in a case with 1 chase figure.

Books a Million has their own chase figures: 1/24 Snuzzle, 1/48 Gusty, and 1/96 Lickety Split. Unfortunately I don't have BAM on the west coast :(

I'll post some photos soon!

Introductions / Hello!
« on: January 01, 2015, 10:31:30 AM »
Happy New Year, eveyone! I'm new to the MLP arena but not to ponies. I've got a hefty collection of G1 ponies, G2, and now from MLPFIM.

In general, I am sticking to just the Funko brand vinyls of FIM. I have a lot of other hobbies/collections that take up space and I'm trying to stay away from brushables in general.

However, I do love the current show as well as the original Firefly and gang. I hope everyone has a wonderful new year that brings lots of great finds, friends, and happy collecting. Thanks for adding me!
Becky
