Do you have her? What do you think of her? Share some more pics!


I do not have this gal. I'd like to have the whole set some day, but am in no rush...

Erm. I...don't actually know. I know that I don't have her. Naynie might. I'm really not sure. I try to avoid this set because of the issues that come with it...so mine would be a pass.

Want and I'll pass. I'd get this whole set if they weren't prone to problems.

What issues did the set come with? *just curious* :)

I do not have her, but I'd love to , I really like glittery transparent ponies.

I had her as a kid, and remember her smelling super funky ):

The Divine Shine ponies' plastic breaks down in such a way that results in them feeling sticky and gross. I've got Flower Garland and love seeing her on display, but I try to touch her as little as possible because she always leaves a sticky residue on my hand when I touch her....

I'll pass, but my neighbor has her (or at least a fakie resembling her)

If only they didn't get all sticky and gross!

I have her, I wish there had been more than four to this set, I only need the one with the ring mark now.

As has been said, they go sticky.
The ones that are not already pink tend to also go pinkish
AND in some cases the glitter also disintegrates.

I only have Secret Wish (?think that's her name) and she's already pink so I don't worry about that, but she's quarantined on my desk because she's already a little sticky. She still looks quite pretty and presentable if you don't touch her, but some folk have had some really bad deteriorations with this set (including ones MIB).

It's very sad :(

Sticky plastic breakdown and glitter browning out from what I hear. Its a shame. They're such a gorgeous set.

She's new to me and I'll pass, as I've heard about the problems with this set before. Even without the stickiness and discolouration, she's a bit too plain for my tastes. :/

Besides her problems i want her, divine shine ponies are beautiful (i have her setmate Tangerine Twinkle and i love her).

She is very pretty.  I love the symbol.

I have her, and she's still quite nice, which is a minor miracle. :P She's slightly tacky to the touch, like the back of a post-it note, but nothing too serious yet. Flower Garland is actually in the worst shape of my four Divine Shines, so I consider myself very lucky.

I have all of the Divine Shines (2 MIB and 2 loose)

My Flower Garland still seems to be okay but as you can tell from the pic my Glitterbelle is dissolving glitter even though she is MIB.

Is that what's happening to the glitter when the glitter just disappears? I had one of the divine shine ponies whose glitter disappeared and I always wondered where it went...

I do like her, and would definitely go for her if it wasn't for the issues... sticky ponies are just a no for me. Ick.

I'm pretty sure that's what happens. I guess the plastic Hasbro used on these dissolves the glitter.

That's crazy... there's just so many issues with this set, they nailed it with the G1 sparkle ponies, I wonder why they messed up so much with these ):

Cheaper production I guess.

I have her, but I dislike this set (other than Secret Wish, one of my favorite G3s). They're prone to so many problems and even if they are super clean, IMO they always feel sticky.

Wondering the same.
