PKW is as ever a treasure to the community with the things she can produce.I remember a plush Pinkie Pie selling to someone at ponycon a couple of years ago for around the £500 mark. I don't even understand how.I have some small plushes of characters from an anime and they cost me around $45 each to have made although they are beautifully done. (Back in the days when the exchange rate wasn't hostile). I can understand £120ish for something as elaborate as that Starcatcher but £500 for a Pinkie Pie...? Yeah, it was a large Pinkie Pie but still...?
On another unpopular note - people wax lyrical about the US packaging, but I think the UK packaging for 1986 and 1987 is the prettiest pony package art ever done. Not just because of the ponies but the whole concept.

Not just because of the ponies but the whole concept. YES, the early UK art is much prettier. More colourfull! Then again, I like the later US art better (when Europe got the cards with borders..)

I like the art on the border cards but it only focuses in on the one pony in the set, rather than all of them, which is a bit sad.

The only way to get art of the others is off the sides of boxes. If a certain set was sold on cards, you got a drawing of ONE & that was it!!!

BUT those with boxes rather than cards (like the Glittering SHS Ponies) have very pretty art.

I noticed some people don't like the Dolly Mix Ponies. I love them & think they're lovely for their size, which, note, is pretty small (I think only World's Smallest & maybe G1 Petites are smaller). I wish they'd made more than just the 20 G1s & the Core 7 G3s.
I LOVE the Dollymixes!!! Cutest things ever, I so wish they'd made more. Can you imagine how adorable a G4 set would be?!Also they really are fantastic quality for their size. I've seen bigger toys than that that have multitudes of flaws; Dollymixes are pretty perfect, apart from the odd factory error here and there (yellowtail Minty, earth pony Glory).
I get annoyed when people say that older pony fans weren't into or influenced by the cartoons. Please speak for yourself only. Just because YOU were not big on them, and did not have YOUR play influenced by them, does mean the same for others. I love them and my play was influenced by them.
