Title: Hallmark Ornament Debut Sat July the 15th
Post by: Gator on July 15, 2017, 09:12:26 AM: Hallmark stores started selling ornaments today! I was there bright and early to get Moondancer. Also got Soundwave for my transformers collection.

Thanks for the video. It looks like the hair is really red instead of the magenta in the promo pic. :)

Guess I should have pulled out my Moondancer for comparison. Sorry!

So comparing the two, I'd say they matched it as close as you could expect them to. The original has a slightly more wine/ yellow cast were as the ornament has a *slightly* more pink cast. But it's just as dark in value as the original. I'd take a comparison pic but I haven't gotten around to finding another pic hosting service since the photobucket fiasco.

No worries. :) I'm glad the ornament's hair is close match to the G1 Moondancer.

Well actually hubby got her for me today - we totally forgot on the weekend, but hubby works in the same mall as the Hallmark store, so he went over on lunch.

(I sure wish these were a little cheaper)

Post by: Foxtale on July 20, 2017, 12:34:28 PM: I love mine too. Did any one else have a problem where the paint on their ornament was tacky? I was at a store and literally every one the paint was stuck to the tissue paper in the box. :(

Mine did. I thought it was just my ornament. I had to peel the paper off around her middle and ear.

Post by: Kiwi on July 21, 2017, 06:25:46 PM: Yes, mine was tacky too. Very carefully peeled the tissue paper off.
I need to find something else to wrap her in for storage.

Post by: Jocelyn on July 24, 2017, 07:04:48 AM: I stopped by my Hallmark store on Friday and didn't find her. Hopefully they just haven't gotten her in yet.
