Pony Corral / Anyone else actually loves the og 80s MLP the movie?
« on: March 25, 2023, 10:46:29 AM »
I've been thinking lately of it a lot! I saw it for the first time in the late 90s and I was hooked with ponies since then! It's not perfect but it's charming. It has a certain magic newer generations haven't been able to capture haha. I also loved the smooze (and the smooze song)!

Hello everyone! I have a question but I wasn't too sure where to put it so I'll ask it here! (let me know if it should be moved somewhere else!).

I bought a Disney Princess castle dollhouse this summer and due to its big size and lack of space in my room... I keep it in my balcony (which has been closed for many years... it has big windows)...

I am very worried that the set will be damaged by the sun exposure so I cover it with a large fabric from the side where the sun hits and I also put paper around the top towers. But is there a better way to protect it?

Also since I am having a hard time sharing a picture of how I store it and cover it. I will share a link with a photo here

Pony Corral / Question about fakies
« on: May 26, 2022, 02:53:49 AM »
In the "fakies" world I always thought there were two categories.. those who have original pony molds but are inspired by MLP and those who have the exact same molds as the real MLPs...

So I was always wondering.. how the heck do those other small companies get the same molds from the real Mlps?

Pony Corral / Anyone else think that G1 ponies look a bit sad?
« on: March 12, 2022, 12:43:01 AM »
I always thought they did... their eyes look kinda melancholic to me somehow..... the way they droop downwards.. it also kinda makes them look more sweet to me.

I wonder if I am the only one who thought of that.

I was feeling a bit sad today so I decided to doodle Majesty the Unicorn from G1 and Spike to cheer me up.  :)
Also I am open to suggestions for pony doodles, suggest me a pony or a character from MLP and I might draw them! :)

Pony Corral / How would you fix the 80s My Little Pony Movie?
« on: January 12, 2022, 04:45:24 PM »
A lot of people dislike My Little Pony the Movie from 1986. But the question is... how would you try to fix it? I personally would have made the witches a bit more scary and intimidating more similar in tone to Ursula from the Little Mermaid... (make the witches both funny and evil).

Also I would have completely redesigned the Grundles.... they looked pretty unappealing.

Pony Corral / Will anything happen if I don't remove tail rust?
« on: January 11, 2022, 12:09:14 PM »
I have a G1 pony that I got last year from facebook marketplace. She came to me with tail rust. At first I thought of trying to remove the head so I can clean it on the inside.... but I was too scared to remove the pony head. I heard stories about the rust spreading and destroying the pony, is that true? Sorry if that's a dumb question.

Personally for me the rust is only visible at the root of the tail so it doesn't bother me that much (from an aesthetic point of view). But I am worried of damage that might happen to the pony in the future if I don't do anything about it.

Pony Corral / G1 vs G3 Pony toys?
« on: January 10, 2022, 01:19:41 AM »
I noticed those two generations are the most similar out of all of them with their pony figures! I grew up in the 2000s so I am way more familiar with G3's but recently I got some G1's and I love them!

Ι like that the g1's are slightly bigger in size and also that they have the symbols on both sides... so you can display them from whichever side you prefer.

On the other hand I love that the g3's had a magnet on their hooves and you could stick them anywhere you wanted hahaha.

At of the day both of them have nice things about them! <3 I am just curious which ones you guys think had the best pony figures!

Pony Corral / Missed opportunities in the G1 cartoons
« on: June 23, 2021, 05:29:41 AM »
What do you think were some missed opportunities in the G1 cartoons?

I would have loved to see the pony friends (Zig Zag, Creamsicle, Spunky etc.) featured in at least one of the episodes. An episode featuring the sweetheart sister ponies would also have been cool!

Also I would have loved to see more backstory about Megan... get to see her parents or her house in the human world and as well also see more of her regular non-talking pony TJ.

Pony Corral / Am I the only one that felt like.....
« on: June 19, 2021, 11:02:22 AM »
Am I the only one that felt like that the Paradise Estate was a downgrade from the Dream Castle in the 80s MLP movie? I know the actual playset was much bigger than the Dream Castle playset.... but in the movie's universe.... the castle seemed a lot more grand and majestic.

The ponies went from living in a beautiful fairytale-like castle to.... living in a pink house with a pool.

I know it was all about marketing and promoting the new toy in the movie but... it would have been better if they made a bigger castle playet or something...

Pony Corral / What do you consider to be a fakie?
« on: June 11, 2021, 06:25:37 PM »
Sometimes I am confused what non-MLP horse toy.... people consider to be fakies. Can all fantasy cartoony horse toys be seen as "fakies"? Even Barbie horses or Schleich figurines?

Or how about those Disney Princess ponies? Are those considered fakies too?

Pony Corral / What's your favorite G1 MLP commercial?
« on: April 13, 2021, 07:05:40 AM »
I love G1 commercials and I've been watching them a lot on youtube recently!
This one is my favorite I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdfMLBzGmUA

I love how upbeat the song in the commercial is! Also I think it's cute how in the later commercial they added the catch phrase "say LOVE if you love ponies" etc. So adorable!

My Little Pony has been on my mind A LOT lately! Specifically the animated versions of MLP! So I wanted to ask a question here... which adaptation do you think had the prettiest animation?

I'll start first... as a kid I loved the animation in the 1986 MLP the movie. I know many people dislike it but I think that it looks lovely! The lush green forests and the small woodland animals made me think of Disney movies like Snow White and Bambi. The ponies in the movie also looked very cute .. the only thing I disliked was that their eyes didn't have any "whites" in them... with the only exception being the twinkle-eyed ponies.

When I grew older I found out about the first ever Special or pilot "Rescue at Midnight Castle" and I thought that this was the prettiest MLP ever looked! The ponies look very horsey but they also have some appropriate anthropomorphic expressions to them! I also liked that the color palette was a bit more muted and not overly saturated....

So yeah I think "Midnight Castle" is my favorite animation style... followed by the 1986 movie.

Pony Corral / Anyone knows where that screenshot is from?
« on: April 06, 2021, 01:49:52 AM »
Hey there y'all! I was looking at My Little Wiki and I came across that promotional picture for the vhs "Firefly's Adventure" (re-release of Rescue from Midnight Castle).
And I see there's a screenshot of what looks like to be Firefly and Megan but Megan there is pictured wearing slightly different clothing and the art style looks a bit more like the one from "Escape from Catrina"....

Do you think that was something like an early concept art or maybe something from a commercial??
