I was split between Sunset Shimmer and Blossomforth, but I can't say no to a yellow pony. Sunset Shimmer it is. 

I bought one of those buildable vinyl figures yesterday in Forbidden Planet. Wow, she's not looking too stellar. It's Applejack that looks more like a half cat half deer, with a tiny hat and I had to glue her hair on. Tomy don't quite understand G4 pony proportions. Her legs are really skinny and her muzzle looks like a beak. I like her for how hilarious she looks, but I won't be getting the rest. I can't justify the price tag. They're five euro here and I could just pay an extra euro and get a nice little brushable that's three times the size and much more accurate.

Though one good thing about them: they have their cutiemarks on both sides. 

All three of them are looking simply fantastic. Brilliant job!

I'm not sure of a cure for smooze, but if you need help with her rusty inside, I find lemon juice and table salt mixed into a paste to really help shift away the worst rust. You also don't have to worry about harsh chemical residues. And it smells a bit nicer than using vinegar which would be stronger. Let the affected areas soak for ten minutes or so in the paste and then start scrubbing gently. I repeat that about three times.

Animal Crossing is my favourite game series ever.  I'm getting it on launch day here, which is June 14th. That happens to be the last day of my final exams so it's the best way of celebrating. I got a 3DS just after launch because Animal Crossing was teased at back then and after, what, three years it's finally coming out!

If these are the final designs of the EQ Girls dolls, they're based on their old designs that had pony ears, wings and hair that had a tail part to it. And if these are the final toy designs I'm quite happy with them, to be honest. Apart from Rarity. Her face looks rather odd. Hopefully it's just an awkward photo and she looks better in person. I think winged dolls will sell better, so I'm assuming that's why Hasbro went with the old character designs for the merchandise.

Here's an interesting blog that has a sort of documentation of things from the 2008 Fair. About a quarter of the way down the page there's some pictures and explanations of the making of our little equine friends. It's not very in-depth but it does make for an interesting read. 

I'm soooooo excited! I just really hope they bring that DVD to Europe... I'm probably more excited for EG than I am about Mrs. Cake. I think it's about time my Monster High dolls had some company.
