Do you have this set? Show us your displays!
I have this one, and the box, plus it's on display in the pony room. Clever idea Hasrro.

all the g1 playsets are so precious... i love all of them, but i don't have any myself, being a g3 primary collector.
-
Pass. I don't like this set. I might have if it wasn't slipper shaped.
-
I always thought this was a mythical invented scene for the anime as I had Ice Cream Wars as a kid but this playset never came out here. Nor did Scoops. So I knew about them but never knew they were real until I got online and found DV in 1997.

I agree that it's a weird set. Why is it slipper-shaped? And it's so small. I guess it's for Megan to use? The accessories are cute but it's just... odd. Scoops is cute too.
-
Could the inspiration for this playset been one of Megan’s or Molly’s shoes? I only had the Lullabye Nursery and the Baby Bonnet School of Dance growing up. I have Scoops now but not the Sweet Shoppe.

i have scoops and love her but not the play set, this is my least favourite out of all the G1 playsets
-
Even when it came out, I thought it was weird that the chairs wouldn't fit a pony. I also didn't like the idea of a pony having a customer service job. Couldn't ponies turn mountains into ice cream and make sprinkles fall from the clouds? ^.^
The pony is cute though!
-
I had this wonderful set as a child new! I was so very happy to have it! :) I do still have the pony and she is still MINT!
-
I have scoops and the satin slipper sweet shop. I find nothing wrong in ponies handing out ice cream. I bet lickety split works there part time.
-
I found this set complete in box at a garage sale a couple years ago for $6 and I do like it but its not my favorite. I think the idea of the shoe is cute but when its open it doesn't really look like a shoe anymore and it just looks kind of odd lol.

Want it! I have Scoops herself, but not the playset. I don't really have room to display any more playsets, but I would like to have it someday when I do have the space for more playsets. That being said, if I were to find it in the wild I would buy it, and either try to make space or store it until I do have space. But I definitely won't actively seek out playsets until I'm able to display more.
It's a really cute design, though I don't really see the correlation between shoes and ice cream. :lol:

I don't understand some people's problem with it being shaped like a slipper, I think it looks kind of funny. Although yeah, a pony working behind the counter seems a little weird, when I first saw it in the episode of the TV show I loved Scoops and her voice but was also surprised why she didn't live with others in Paradise Estate and was the only one to run her own business for a living (did they kick her out for snoring?)
-
This is one of the few playsets I have and I adore it.

Playsets shaped like everyday objects was really a thing with G1. We got stacking blocks, a bonnet, vanity, perfume bottle, and here a shoe! I wonder if anyone thought this implied the ponies were actually really, really tiny and secretly lived in regular household objects? :biggrin:
The name "Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe" rolls nicely off the tongue. I think personally it might be my second favorite playset, but a lot of that probably has to do with watching the cartoon as a kid and being amazed when this never seen before pony turned up out of nowhere with her ice cream shop. Never gave much thought to it being shaped like a shoe. Sadly the shape and size of the playset means there's not a lot of room for play inside it. And of course the chairs are useless to ponies. But there were plans to release a set of human doll friends this year (and you often saw the playset advertised with Molly), so that could be the reason for that.
A bit strange that this playset was never released in Europe, but the much bigger and less original Perm Shoppe was. They could've even repurposed the playset (or at least some of the accessories) for the Tales series since an ice cream shop played a big part in that cartoon. But maybe they thought it being shaped like a shoe was just a little bit too weird.

I love Scoops and I love ice cream! The only thing I wouldn't want is the actual shoe, I'd love to have all the other accessories!

I had this! I actually remember getting this from my friend for my seventh birthday. Actually, the part I remember is being at my friend's house a few days before my party and she opens up her closet and points to the box sitting on a shelf. I probably started freaking out because her mom comes into the room and tells her daughter that was supposed to be a surprise! I guess my friend was too excited and had to tell me before I could open it!
When I played with this playset, I had Fizzy, Sherbet, and Peppermint Crunch help Scoops and Megan and Molly would sit at the table (since the ponies couldn't sit in those chairs!)
