Quote from: Taffeta on February 10, 2020, 09:20:12 AMCan't understand the hype on the Takara ponies though. I saw one on a Japanese sale site for 250,000 yen this morning. This is what Western obsession has done to the price market, as they used to be much cheaper there - but it's all because people in the West are nuts enough to spend four figures on them and the Japanese have learned as much. Even as someone who speaks Japanese, loves Japan and Japanese culture/history/etc, I think they're ugly little moomins and hugely overrated and overpriced.Pretty much what happened with other "nirvana" ponies. I can only speak in the case of Spain. Most collectors here cannot afford the current prices Spanish ponies are sold, unless they are literally destroyed. It's cheaper buying ponies from abroad. And about piggies, I still don't understand how a doll that is for son long considered fake and ugly & had no value, people fight today and raise prices ridiculously and all because one day they discovered that it had the rainbow logo. Lipstick on a pig...

I’m not a fan of the bronies from not the best experience I hear them talk about, they take a kids show too seriously (they are just cartoon horses oh my!), however I’ve definitely seen good bronies so of course not all of them are bad!
Ok, REALLY unpopular opinion incoming:I'm sick of bat ponies. They were okay at first but now they seem to be a major species among fans and I get sick of seeing them everywhere. There are probably more bat pony OCs than earth pony ones. I hope they don't return. The concept comes off as edgy when you take "Flutterbat's" appeal and popularity into consideration and I also associate bat ponies with the less appropriate side of the fandom with how many arts I've seen of bat ponies, specifically, in stockings. I guess that goes for any pony but whenever I see bat ponies it's usually either edgy or something inappropriate.I'm all for adding new species of ponies (hippogriffs and kirins are welcome additions!) but "ponies with bat wings" is on the lazier side of things. Bat ponies are at their best when the designs draw inspiration from fruit, but if they're just an excuse to be edgy, yawn.
THIS its so annoying especially when its inappropriate. I've seen art of Luna with batwings that I've appreciated but besides her its a big nope from me. Maybe I should try drawing it myself though to see what all the hype is about

I like Toola Roola with blue/purple/white hair more then the one with orange/pink/blue/purple.
