Pony Corral / Show me... sunset/sunrise colored ponies!
« on: October 07, 2022, 03:31:15 AM »
Hello! Lately I've come to appreciate all the lovely shades of colour in the sky and I bet that would make for some beautiful ponies. Currently, the only pony with those colours that comes to mind is Sunny Daze, but if there are more (official or custom), I'd love to see them! Cheers  ^.^

Arts & Crafts Corral / Dreamer's Peanut Pony Gallery: Cool Kid Medley
« on: January 25, 2022, 08:40:00 AM »
So, from time to time I draw, and lately I decided to draw a pony. I haven't even tried to recreate any official style and just went with whatever felt right at the time. I don't know if I'll stick with it, but for now I'm calling this whole design style "peanut ponies" because their heads look like peanuts.

Please don't ask why I turned Medley into a stereotypical 90s cool kid, it involves a long series of inner jokes with my best friend.

Pony Corral / Show me a pony and I will purposefully misname them
« on: January 25, 2022, 03:28:22 AM »
As you may imagine, I don't remember the name of every pony in existence. I've called Comet Tail "Gradient Girl", Merry Moments "Precious Memories" and so on. Let's have some fun with that.

Show me a pony and I'll make up a new name for them based on what I see. Any generation counts, fakies count, customs count, other toy horses count, Bella Sara counts, drawn pictures of made-up ponies count. As long as it's horse-like I'll make up a (sometimes silly) name for them.

And if you want to come up with your own names for the ponies shown here, you're more than welcome, too  ;)

Pony Corral / PC: August Breeze
« on: January 22, 2022, 08:14:53 AM »
Can we still ask for price checks here? I hope so.

Either way, my fiancĂ© found me an August Breeze in a flea market, and while I'm obviously NOT gonna sell her (it's a gift from someone special  :lovey:), I can't help but wonder her actual value among collectors. I know she's a TRU exclusive and fairly rare, but I also know eBay and other sites tend to inflate prices.

My personal August Breeze is in pretty good condition too if that helps, she's only got messy hair and a slight marker stain, nothing that cannot be fixed  :)

Pony Corral / Your MLP top 10 per generation
« on: January 13, 2022, 09:14:04 PM »
Collectors, I know this might be a hard question for some, but if you were only to keep 10 ponies from your collection/wishlist, which ones would it be?

And to make things easier, you can have 10 ponies per generation. Fitting +35 years of pony history into just 10 slots can be very hard!

As for me, I made my own here under the spoiler (no particular order). Just G1 tho, I'm still thinking about G2 and G3:

Spoiler
- Moonstone (Blue, planet symbol, rainbow hair, unicorn, she's perfect for me)
- Medley (Teal and green, pegasus for variety, musical symbol. I just think she's lovely!)
- Starglow (I love the whole concept of Glow N Show ponies, and Starglow pulls it off the best)
- Big Brother/Mountain Brother placeholder (I don't know which one I'd like yet because everyone looks so nice! But I'd defo want a boy pony in my collection. I love the fluffy hooves)
- Seapony placeholder (I love G1's variety when it comes to species and I think Seaponies look very different and adorable)
- Princess Pony placeholder (Something about the Princess Ponies feels... special to me, you know?)
- Creamsicle (again, we're aiming for variety and iconicity here, and my pick for a Pony Friend is Creamsicle since I love giraffes)
- Neon-colored pony placeholder (probably a tropical one, or a Neon Beat, or that one Melody with rollerskates. I love bright colours and while they're not MLP's main color scheme, I want some brightly colored goodness represented here)
- Night Sky or Munchy (These are my favourite TAFs, and it's a lovely gimmick when pulled well)
- Quackers (I love the Twinkle Eyes for their surprising comic lore, and I love her whole "looking for rainbows after the rain ends" vibe. And ducks)

As a general rule I don't add baby ponies because they're not quite my thing but if I had to make an honorary mention that'd be Baby Ribbs. Love me some green ponies and especially dragons.

What would be your top 10 picks?

Off Topic / Calling all Masked Singer enthusiasts!!
« on: December 03, 2020, 01:12:24 AM »
I just realized they're making this show in my country and immediately got obsessed over all the international costumes. They're so elaborate and so fun! I know the biggest sell is guessing who is under the mask, but as for me, I'm just in for the costumes and performances  ;)

Do you watch the show? Who's your favourite costume? Any guesses for who they might be? Please feel free to share pictures, I'd love to see as many costumes as I can!

So, I'm attending a livestream on acting, and I did not expect the hosts to have a shelf full of ponies behind them!

Excuse the blurriness, the resolution of the stream is just what it is.

So far I recognize Majesty, Tic-Tac-Toe, Confetti and Brilliant Blossoms, but what about the ones at the foremost right?

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Bella Sara?
« on: November 11, 2020, 12:33:15 AM »
It's like the ultimate fantasy horse franchise for me. I'm so sad I missed its golden days  :cloud: The art is gorgeous, the messages are inspiring, and that little web game looked very fun. I have played the 3DS game, tho, since I found it second-hand for cheap. It's not the end-all of gaming but as long as it lets me customize my own fantasy horse and make it gallop through beautiful landscapes, that's all I need.

Share your experiences, memories, favourite horses, reminisce. Have fun!

Pony Corral / Disinfecting new pony arrivals
« on: November 02, 2020, 04:07:16 AM »
Hello, Pony Arena!!

I'm the proud owner of a 35th Anniversary Moonstone!  :newpony:

But that's not the reason I'm writing, otherwise this would go on Brags  :P

Thing is, I clean/disinfect all the things I buy online (more than ever!), but I don't know how to tackle this blueberry-scented, glittery-marked unicorn without accidentally ruining her.

We usually use a rather strong alcohol/spray to clean things, but for one of my recent Zelfs, I opted for cleaning her with hot water and dish soap (Zelf soup :P), but I'm afraid for the aforementioned scent (I'd rather keep it) and glitter symbol.

So yeah, how do I make this pony clean and safe to handle without damaging her?

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Cloudees?
« on: August 23, 2020, 01:42:40 PM »
Has anyone heard of these blindbag cloud-themed animal toys? There are big ones that come with two pieces of clothing/accessories (and some weird cous-cous like """slime""") and stand straight, and small ones that are more "pet" like with no accessories. Both come poofy interchangeable tails.

Same character but different models under the spoiler for comparison

I really like these dolls. Slime aside which I don't care about, they're like a combination of LPS (big, colorful eyes with shapes), Care Bears (animals that live on the clouds and expand the weather/sky theme that some bears like Grumpy, Cheer or Funshine have) and even Poopsie (similar pose and body plan, kinda "stylish").

I really like how they went all with the weather/sky theme. Cloud-shaped eyebrows and pupils (they kinda look like Hypnotoad tho but i admire the commitment), but especially how the eyelashes look like snowflakes, lightning bolts or sun rays, or tear drops... it's very clear they had a lot of fun designing these!

And they're very good function-wise too. For now I only own one, Surly Panda, but she stands straight very well (especially with shoes on). Maybe it's because I'm gentle and I don't have kids who play with these, but seems that there's not gonna be many shoes falling off of these or clothes lost.

I want to go back and update this post with collection sheets, photos and stuff, but first... have you seen these before? Do you own some? Do you want some? Who's your favourite? What's your opinion?

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Build-A-Bear Thread
« on: February 13, 2020, 05:22:20 AM »
Build-A-Bear! Probably my favourite plushies  :frolic:

Discuss anything and everything BAB here. Want to show pics of your bears? Go ahead! Excited about news? Gush about them here! Just regular chit-chat? Sure!

I own two BABs, an Eevee and a Snubbul. The former smells like wildflowers, the latter, like strawberries. I love how they encourage customization with these toys :frolic: and the colorful patterns, and the whole process of making one (a tad corny, but charming!) I especially like that you get to choose how much stuffing you'll get inside your toy: I like licensed plushes, but most of the time they're so overstuffed they're little more than "soft figures", and plushies are meant for hugging! What can I say, I like my plushies at least a lil floppy  :biggrin:

Does anyone know if there's any website that keeps track of all the BABs ever released? I'd love to dive in into a page like that for hours, but I haven't been lucky yet

Pony Corral / Crystal's Pony Tale
« on: November 04, 2018, 03:37:16 AM »
Ever heard of this game? It's for the Sega Genesis and is a fairly simple platformer about a pony who has to rescue her friends from the clutches of an evil wizard. In order to do that, you must find gemstones that can free them from several fates such as: being turned into a fountain statue, turned into one with the forest (you know, vegetation all over and unable to move), turned into a carousel horse...

Hm... doesn't this all sound familiar? The whole ordeal with evil wizards, terrible fates and adventure involving colorful horsies?  :P

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Schleich Figures
« on: October 30, 2018, 11:46:34 AM »
Anybody acquainted with Schleich and its wide range of highly-detailed figures? They've got animals, dinosaurs and fantasy/mythology lines. I always wanted to start a collection of these, but the prices are a bit too steep for my current financial situation ^^; I remember owning two knights (with horses) and a two-headed dragon when I was a child, tho.

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / MGA taking the poop trend to the next level
« on: September 08, 2018, 01:55:31 AM »
https://poopsie.mgae.com/

This... all of this... is disgustingly hilarious  :drunk: :facepalm:

Judging from what I read, it's a doll and a slimemaker, all themed around unicorn poop...

If that "WTF Toys" post was still around, this would take the (mud) cake

Opinions on this? I'm slightly interested on the unicorns themselves, but perhaps I would have to take a better look at them (those L.O.L proportions). As for the rest of it... not a fan of slime unfortunately, I think it gets dirty too easily and doesn't have much durability as a toy
