Pony Corral / Re: Anyone have pictures of G3 (or earlier!) ponies on store shelves?

« on: November 19, 2021, 11:16:33 AM »

These G1 pics are soooo good. It's funny, I barely remember seeing them on shelves - mostly just unwrapping them on birthdays and holidays haha. Although I do have a distinct memory of going to Toys R Us with my grandparents and picking out some Petites, which I think were lining the displays at the time.

Aside from my routine mall Target visits in Sydney during G3 I also remember a HUGE G3 display at the Toys R Us in Times Square in the mid-2000s. I wonder if there any any photos of that era, since the TRU is now gone?

In fact! Having said that! I dug through my photos and found a couple from the NYC TRU from a visit with friends in 2006 - they found it suuuper hilarious that I was in the pony aisle and papped me from all angles hahaha. It was around holiday time which I think is why the shelves look much barer than usual. Maybe only days away from Christmas. Not my best portraits ever but you can see some G3 on shelves! To be 18 again - ugh, actually, no thank you.

Pony Corral / Re: Rockin Beat hair question

Thanks Taffeta! I think I just always assumed because of the Sundazzles' uniformity that Rockin Beats were the same. I guess they're all meant to be different members of a band so their hair reflects that individuality haha!

Pony Corral / Rockin Beat hair question

« on: October 03, 2021, 12:46:46 PM »

I always assumed all the non-Nirvana Rockin Beat ponies had crimped hair MOC, but I recently noticed it’s actually only Sweet Notes (based on a few wiki images) - can anyone confirm?

Pony Corral / Re: Who was the very first G3 you ever bought?

« on: September 22, 2021, 01:10:46 PM »

I THINK I held out till about Merriweather... I know I had a few Mintys, but later versions. I just enjoyed going to Target at my local mall and seeing ponies on the shelves again to begin with. And looking back on them now, G3 was so fun - the designs and colour schemes were really good compared to what was to follow... also have vivid memories of clipping those pony charms to my jean pockets hahahaha. 2003! What a time.
