Disapointed in DJ pony

[Rosencrantz]

You know, I thought it'd bug me, but already I've gotten used to it. It helps that it's only visible to me when she's up close.

I think they should of made them removable, so her eyes would be underneath, and that fixes the line problem.

...why didn't they think of this???

Costs more money

This.

I'm going to make some and remove the stamped version.
Give her some actual eyes!!!

[DazzleKitty]

I am glad I have this pony in my collection, but I too thought the way they handled the eyes was pretty pathetic.

I am not sure how possible it is to make removeable glasses for a G4. But they could have at least tried a little harder with the pain job. It looks kinda tacky the way they did it.

The shades need to be angled more, and that would have fixed the whole problem. They look more like John Lennon shades instead of DJ Pon3 shades. I noticed they have that problem on pretty much all of their ponies, though. The eyes are either tilted too far forward or to far back. If they fixed that one little problem, and paid more attention to how the eyes are spaced and proportioned on the 2d cartoon, the ponies would look ten thousand times better, imo. Also please tell me I'm not the only one who cringed and started bashing her head against a wall when I saw Shining Armor's eyes in the toy store.

Everyone seems so concerned with the glasses fitting over the indent for the eye. That doesn't bother me half as much as the fact that they left off her eyelashes. I ended up painting some on mine.
Though of course removable glasses with her eyes underneath would have been ideal.

[Shenanigans]

I agree, they could have angled the glasses more or made removable ones. She's definitely not one of my favoirtes because of this. And I really like her colors and symbol, but those glasses...

[agnusdei]

I agree that the stamped on glasses which don't even fit her eye indents were a letdown. I understand that it wasn't likely for us to get removable glasses because of cost, but Hasbro could have at least adjusted the shape/positioning of the shades a bit so they fit her face.

Here is a modified version I made which has removable shades and painted eyes next to the factory original, just for fun.

Agnusdei you have to make me a pair of those glasses ;p

[BerryPunch]

Her eyes are purple in the show?

The custom that I made is all wrong! D'oh!

They actually are magenta, like Rainbow Dash's. Been confirmed by staff.

Shoulda made the glasses even an accessory or something!

BTW, AWESOME custom Agnusdei

[sd_dreamcrystal]

Nice modded DJ, agnusdei
I might mod mine, don't know yet though... I'd have to buy a repeat pony if I wanted to make another version of her... which I really don't want to

[BerryMouse]

I still say if they angled the shades more it would have worked just fine

I would second that - I was annoyed as well lol =)

[Spike]

The lines are horrible.

[hathorcat]

Yes it would have cost more but considering we already have ponies with glasses, i.e. FS Rainbow Dash and even the cheap little, but appropriate sized, glasses which are being released with the new CE wave of ponies for Twilight Sparkle, I don't know if it would have been that mammoth a cost that it could not have been done. Seems super lazy even for Hasbro but alas at the price point of the line we cant really expect proper collectors quality and standards.

*swoops into thread* I will never miss an opportunity to complain about this pony! >.<

DJ is one of my favorite background characters from the show, and it's a total shame that Hasbro went such a cheap route on this toy... in what was supposed to be a special collector's set made specifically for the fans!

I have NEVER in all my years of wandering the toy aisles found a toy that specifically was painted to totally ignore the premade mold lines. That just speaks of laziness on the part of the company and cutting corners, and is a snub to the collectors, implying we will buy just anything as long as it says 'My Little Pony' on it, never mind the quality.

And this isn't the only time Hasbro has done it. The FS Shining Armor uses the same head mold as Rarity, etc so the 'male' eyes are painted over the female eye spots, and they don't even fit!

Also the new crystal blind bags have eyes that are half-closed or a different shape than usual, so they don't match up with the eye holes made into the molds, either!

Gaaaaaaah Hasbro you are so lazy. It bugs me like crazy! Either make a new head mold, or choose a character that doesn't need special eyes that don't fit the eye sockets you already have! >.<

Sincerely, your truly irate fan
