Goddessofpeep is on point with everything. Hasbro has messed up hard, and the contrast with Mattel's success makes it even more painful.

Being a publicly listed company is a delicate cord to balance on... When the primary focus is on the satisfaction of the stockholders, costs get cut down (both in design and quality) left and right to keep the margin as big as possible. It can be the start of a hard decline, as we now see...

That stranglehold of stockholders is the reason why Hasbro can't possibly do with G1 MLP what Basic Fun is doing; BF doesn't have any stockholders breathing down their neck. They are more free to focus on quality and can afford to be content with a lesser profit margin that keeps to company going, contrary to Hasbro.

What's even worse about Hasbro's current state is that 1100 employees will be sacked because of it.

I wouldn't mind if BF started a brand of pony figures all by itself to fill the pony void; too bad it wouldn't be called MLP, but I'm sure the quality would be much better than whatever Hasbro keeps cooking up.

Going through the costly process of creating poses that only end up being used twice or even just once. (G3 Bath time Sweetsong was such a lovely pose, but we never saw it again.)

I was looking for the sparkle girlz at 5B, no luck. But I did find these pretty ponies!

These look cute! Their legs intrigue me...

That's crazy stuff!
I would just contact Hasbro customer service so that they are at least aware of the quality issues, and ask for a replacement. Who knows, can't hurt.

The easiest way to solve the tail problem would be to glue the roots together tightly into a tip small enough to fit the tail hole, and glue it back in place. You wouldn't be able to brush it anymore with pulling the tail out again I'm afraid, but at least she can go on display?

WISH !!   8.5/10

What a delightful movie, despite it being a bit uneven storywise. Such a wonderful nod to all the disney movies that came before, from the opening to the runtime! So many easter eggs. The music is amazing imo; with "Welcome to Rosas" and "The Wish" being my favorites.

Opinions on the animation style vary, but I liked it a lot. It was supposed to blend the current 3D trend and the handdrawn animation from times gone by, and for me, it worked.

The symbolism behind the wishes could have been explained a little more in depth, but I'm sure a lot of people will get the message.

The comma is Europe's equivalent to the US's dot. Where Americans use a dot, we use a comma

Ten thousand: The US writes it as 10,000.00, Europe writes it as 10.000,00

They look great and seem well made. It's the first time I hear of fakie wear. Did this have ponies on the packaging, or just random stuff advertised for whatever toy you felt like?
