Pony Corral / Re: Does anyone have the Patons Knitting Patterns?
« on: September 30, 2023, 01:28:12 PM »
This is crazy because a lot of these are available on Etsy for actual money hahaha - in fact I bought a jumper pattern a while ago (the other one with UU&A etc) and haven't tried it out yet because I don't do much intarsia. Had no idea they were out there for free!

Pony Corral / Celestials: Where to buy (non-Amazon!)
« on: September 10, 2023, 02:23:17 PM »
Hello! I'm so so so excited to get my hands on some of the Celestials, but I absolutely do not want to support Amazon if I can help it. In the past we've had some very helpful lists of small toy stores with both web and brick & mortar presences for the Basic Fun releases - thought I'd get the ball rolling on that now. Apologies if this has already been done! I scanned a few other threads but couldn't find a consolidated spot dedicated to this.

Please post if you've found the Celestials at your local toy store! All locations welcome :)

I love them & will be buying obviously, and not to look a gift horse in the mouth (lol) but to echo what others have said - hoping we get the fourth as well, a little sad about Tootsie pose, and wish the pink bodied pony had more Medley coloured hair than Firefly. Collectors have done such a good job over the years reconceptualising/making them that I feel a bit spoiled!! :P But these are not fully done so let's wait and see... and hope for widescale distro

Quest of the Princess Ponies was my fave MLP VHS so I do have a deep princess/bushwoolie association but honestly the dragons are cooler~!

Pony Corral / Re: G1 hair texture over time
« on: February 21, 2022, 09:52:28 AM »
I should clarify - it's not COMPLETELY brittle, but the silky feeling in the hair (which is untouched - I don't shampoo or condition pristine G1s when they come to me) is gradually becoming drier and drier over time. I do know that a bit of Pantene would probably restore that feeling, but I'm loathe to intervene with something that might detract from, like, the original fresh out the box pony smell some of these gals have. But thank you all for your input!!

Pony Corral / G1 hair texture over time
« on: February 19, 2022, 01:19:27 PM »
So I live in a pretty dry place (SoCal) and my collection here is stored in a cabinet with UV light protected windows. But I've definitely noticed that new additions that come to me with minty soft straight hair (a Star Dancer, for e.g.) have been growing more brittle than I'd like. Obviously these toys are pushing 30 years old, but if I can receive them in pristine condition there must be a way to preserve that without locking them in a dark moisture controlled box.

Does anyone have any thoughts? I feel like the solution is probably something on the pricier side...

Pony Corral / Spotted: Seashell on the silver screen
« on: January 17, 2022, 04:17:15 PM »
... or at least probably repro Seashell judging by her pristine body & extra shiny hair, and good for them for going for Basic Fun:

This from Yellowjackets on Showtime! The episode is 1x06, Saints, which aired a few weeks ago - but I didn't see any posts on it & I'm only just catching up :silly: As a gothic horror the show's tone couldn't be further from MLP but for an early 80s flashback it makes a lot of sense & emphasizes the initial innocence of the character, Lottie. An amazing show if you can stomach the creepiness!

Has anyone had any confirmation whether Paper Source is or isn’t stocking this wave, by any chance?
