Unfortunately I can't access your Tumblr reliably - if I scroll too far down it starts asking me to log in :( Seems to be some new thing they've added in for blogs that are tumblr.com/username instead of username.tumblr.com, weird site... But I did manage to get it to work long enough to see the model sheets of Taffy and Sweet Stuff, ooooh! The SS one could be for the TAF advert I guess? But Taffy, ooh :O

Love the Baby It's Cold Outside sketches, omg they're so fluid and full of character! The sketch page of Charlton is wonderful.

Ooooh I can't wait to listen to those auditions tomorrow <3

Still downloading the Baby sketches to look at (darn slow Wayback Machine :shakefist:), but oooooh, the Cloud Castle character lineup has some interesting things:

- the ponies are listed as Heart Throb, Locket and TAFFY?!? Taffy never appeared in the cartoon?! :O In the actual ep it's So Soft Twilight. Could just be that they wrote the wrong name since the thumbnail clearly shows "Taffy" as a pegasus (wouldn't make sense for an earth pony to be in this story anyway), but that they knew the name in the first place suggests maybe she was supposed to show up in the cartoon at some point... Hmmm!

- the note "SONG" next to a pic of Garth and Ariel suggests there WAS meant to be a song in Part 2! Cloud Castle pt 1 has a song, but pt 2 is one of only two episodes without a song (Tambelon pt 3 being the other), I know there's been a lot of debate on here about if this one was meant to have a song and if so, what it would've been... This isn't exactly concrete info but it's definitely interesting :o

Also I forgot how cute Ferdinand and Andrew are! I like their little faces. So goofy and cute.

Wasn't sure if this should go in this thread (because it's new) or the BF thread (because it's retro), but I don't think these are made by Basic Fun so I guess I'll put it here?

Apparently these Starshine styling head thingies have been found at Five Below:

Anyone seen these? They're a bit weird for me, but it's nice seeing more retro stuff :)

Taffeta's Ghoulia doesn't look discoloured to me...? What an odd thing to say.

i wouldn't add flocking to a NSS pony though.

Oh, same here. I dunno why, but flocked customs never quite look right to me.

(off-topic but Cola, I love your avatar!)

Definitely no flocking for me :) It's weird since usually I like flocked toys (lifelong Sylvanian collector!) but somehow flocked ponies just don't look quite right to me.

That said, I'd never deflock a pony unless her fur was in bad shape. If the flocking's nice and minty and like-new, or just needs a little work, then it'd be a shame to deflock... I'd just pass her onto someone who'd appreciate her more. But if the flocking's bad, half-rubbed off already, no saving it... then might as well go ahead and deflock.

I think deflocks are worth just as much as minty So Softs (and way more desirable to me personally! :P), of course assuming it's a good deflock job ;)

Oh, I will say, I don't quite understand going out of your way (general "you") to deflock a pony that already has an easy-to-find NSS counterpart. Like, Magic Star I get, since she was released in different poses... Wind Whistler I kinda get since her SS release's colours are so much brighter... But unless she's SO manky that deflocking's practically a must, I don't really understand going to all the trouble of deflocking, say, Cherries Jubilee or Buttons. I mean if you do that I'm not going to judge, it's your pony after all, just seems like needless work to me XD

I've seen US sellers claiming it costs $50 to ship a pony accessory overseas before though. That's definitely not valid. I think some sellers just do it to put off overseas buyers.

It really wouldn't surprise me :(

You do still get the odd seller here and there that's willing to work with you and ship things overseas (and not charge ridiculous prices for it :p), but sadly they seem to be scarcer than ever.

Yeah, shipping prices are just insane now :( Even within the UK it can get pricy for tiny little items (not sure about other countries), but international shipping is SO expensive for most things now that it's definitely put a damper on my international purchases :(

Congrats!! Creepro Ghoulia's one I'd be tempted by, I never got the original release.

Throat started getting sore last night, woke up and it's in full-on cold mode >_< Ughhhh, must've caught it off my Mum. Hoped I'd escaped it this time but I guess not >_< Gah, I hate being sick.

But...though there are some name repeats across generations, there is literally nothing canonical connecting Dream Valley (Ponyland in the UK), Friendship Gardens and Ponyville. Whereas Sunny and company live in a later version of Equestria. Just like Tales and MLP Friends.

Actually, do they call it Ponyland in Tales as well? I can't remember what they call it xD.

not sure about Tales or the backcards/other G1 media (I think Tales is Ponyland too, but I honestly haven't seen enough eps to be sure ^^;), but in MLP and Friends at least, the main ponies live in Dream Valley which is a part of Ponyland.

I'll honestly never understand why Hasbro didn't take as much advantage of FiM's massive cast (from what I've seen!) as they could've. Like, the fact that we had to wait until the Movie line for a brushable Big Mac toy is insane.

Sadly this seems to happen a lot with G4s. I once saw someone trying to sell a Sugarcup for hundreds because she was in "rare variant packaging" (she was initially released as "Cupcake" before they changed her name to "Sugarcup".. or the other way around, I forget) -___-
