Pony Corral / Price estimate for some funko ponies, please!
« on: January 01, 2018, 02:49:55 PM »
Getting rid of a bunch of my old things, and while I was cleaning I found MIP Funko Princess Celestia, :muffin: Pony Hooves, and Rainbow Dash. They're in perfect condition, as is their boxes. Any clue what they're worth? Once I've settled on a price I'll be posting them on eBay, if any of you are interested.

Back in 1997/8, Hasbro asked if I would be interested in having a look at revamping their My Little Pony toys, well, not just the toys but to redevelop the look of the ponies.At the time , Japanese animation was already influencing the style western animation, so I went off in that direction. This was flat out rejected as it was considered too much of a departure at the time, so I decided to just simply modify the look of the ponies from their current style at time. The feedback from Hasbro was that they needed to have more “edge” I then produced a series of sketches, one of which is shown above, Majesty. Hasbro were not sure but one of the marketing team asked me to look at developing some ideas for one off collectors pieces. I threw in some iconic film suggestions, such as, Edward Scissorhands (shown above). They couldn’t do these due to the cost implications of buying the rights to the characters, but the sketches were well received, so they asked me to look at similar thems that had no copyright
This is what got me in to trouble with Hasbro. For the limited edition collectors pieces they wanted something a little edgy. I was asked to take it as far as I can (“just run with it!”). My 80’s throwback, My Little Goth Pony, raise a few eyebrows but it was my little fetish pony that closed the door at Hasbro.
I did get paid though, so not a complete tragedy.

Hopefully someone here will be able to help me resolve this.

I won an auction today on eBay. My winning bid was $5.00 and the shipping was $2.50, so that should equal $7.50 right? But when I go to pay for it, it says the shipping is $11.30! So it ends up being $16.30 somehow, and that's not a very good deal. Is this a glitch, or am I missing something? Here are screenshots...

When I try to pay

What should I do?

Edit: Messaged the seller, he wasn't sure what happened but he sent me a new invoice with the original shipping cost, so all is well! Thanks for the advice!

Pony Corral / Cleaning "Hasbro Softies"?
« on: August 18, 2014, 08:28:16 PM »
Recently got a Hasbro Softie (Parasol) off eBay for cheap. I was wondering how to go about cleaning her? With most stuffed toys I would throw her in the wash on the delicate setting, but with her hair and plastic eyes, I'm not so sure.

Have you ever successfully cleaned a Hasbro Softie and how did you do it?

Thanks in advance!

Pony Corral / How can I get the NICI plushies for a reasonable price?
« on: August 05, 2014, 07:44:38 AM »

Does anyone know why the German NICI MLP toys are so expensive? I really want a Twilight Sparkle plush like the on in the picture, but it's about $30 on their website. Even the 12-cm keychains are $20 and I'm sure the shipping is crazy because I don't live in Germany.

Is there anyway I can get these for a reasonable price? The NICI plushies are by far the cutest pony plushies there are, and I really want some :)

Here's the website

Pony Corral / ID this pin? "Lady Lessons"?
« on: July 11, 2014, 04:21:24 PM »
I bought this pin for 1 dollar at the thrift store today. The front says "Lady Lessons" (???) and the side says "1991 Hasbro"

It's pretty sad that they have to do this, isn't it? Those are Nintendo DS cases; they're meant to hold video games!

Off Topic / Zoids!
« on: March 15, 2014, 05:21:20 PM »
Is anyone here into Zoids, the robotic animal models? Hasbro distributed them back in 2001. They were models you could put together and they would wind up! There were also some back in the 80's, but I don't know much about those.

I recently got really into them again. I only have a Command wolf model right now, but I really want a Liger Zero.

Do any of you guys remember them or have any?

I would be grateful if someone would help me price check the following ponies! ( i plan to take photos tomorrow if my descriptions aren't efficient or not!)

G1 Whizzer #1: three tiny black marks on body, mark on blush. Not perfect but not terrible either
G1 Whizzer #2: black mark on face, forelock cut, otherwise pretty okay
G1 Lady Flutter: Chinese version (I actually have both, which one is worth more $?) nice condition with wings still attached. Small mark on chin.
G3 Baby Surfstar: Perfect condition. Soft hair, no marks!
G3 Wysteria: Nice condition. Soft hair, no marks.

I also have many G1 and G4 brushes and accessories, however I'm not sure if those are worth anything?

Any info would be very helpful! Thank you! :)

Post Merge: March 15, 2014, 07:47:48 PM

I also need advice on how I should go about selling these! Should I make a lot, or sell them one by one, or the two Whizzers together??

Here's the picture :)

Pony Corral / Is anyone else really bored with G4?
« on: December 21, 2013, 03:40:05 PM »
Went Christmas shopping at Toys R Us today with my little sister and mom. She and I both agreed that, for the first time in a long time, we didn't want any G4 ponies this year! It wasn't that we already had a ton of them, it was just that... there was nothing new. Even my little sister, the target audience and pony lover, couldn't find anything she wanted. She kind of wanted the Favorites set (for Muffin Pony, of course) but the price was just too high... not to mention the paper "accessories" were just ridiculous and most of them were repeats (lets not get started on the quality control... eeesh)

I guess its nice for my mom's wallet, but it was very disappointing!

I really wish they would do something new and fresh and exciting. Are any of you guys looking at the pony aisle and thinking the same thing?

Pony Corral / My birthday is coming up! How much are the ponies I want?
« on: December 02, 2013, 09:31:52 AM »
Hello everyone! My birthday is coming up (I'll be 19, wow) and I can finally get my hands on some ponies!!

I just recently won a auction with a few G1's, including Wigwam which I am really excited about! I am also bidding on a lot right now that has Tex, Morning Glory, and Baby starbow, but unfortunately it is starting to become too expensive for me to continue bidding so I am going to prepare my self to lose :(
in the case that I do, I wanted to know how much Tex, Baby Starbow, and Morning glory would be in an okay condition (I enjoy cleaning them up, so I would actually prefer that they aren't perfect haha) and if any one had any they were willing to sell. Thank you!


(btw is $40 too expensive for the ponies below? these are the ones I'm bidding on atm)

Pony Corral / Advice about two craigslist ads, please!
« on: November 29, 2013, 11:14:19 AM »
Hello everyone! I found two My Little Pony lots on craigslist and I was wondering if you anyone could price check them or give me some advice about whether I should pick them up or not. (all images are from the sellers)

First up is this Paradise Estate; they are asking for $20

they said its "original" but I have no way to tell if it has all the pieces. The town its in is not far at all, so gas wouldn't be an added price

and the second one is this add

They are asking for $40 and are about an hour away from me. I don't care for the Barbies at all so they would go straight to the thrift, but I see some G1's! I can see 5 G1's, 5 fakies, 1 g3 and then... I can't figure out the rest.

From what I can see, the lot includes Gusty, Beautiful Bows, baby Northstar, a newborn baby, and a sweet heart sister (pretty belle?)

So, what to you think? See someone I didn't see? I would appreciate any advice!

Pony Corral / oh wow, some ponies from 1964?
« on: November 29, 2013, 04:59:09 AM »
Not going to post a link because its an auction, but I found a lot of ponies with the title "Grab bag of 23 My Little Pony Toys 1964-2009"

Sellers description: "Grab bag of 23 My Little Pony Toys 1964-2009. The 2 red-heads are 1964." (the two "red heads" are two baby Stockings!)

There are two g1's in this lot of g3's so I assume they misread but still I thought this was pretty funny! :lol:
