I got my hands on the Friendship Celebration Collection from TRU (the gift set that contains several ponies that were released in blind bags) and just want to give a small warning:
If you're the kind of collector who requires your ponies to be pristine, then for goodness' sakes DO NOT let the ponies "hold" the clip-on accessories! They WILL leave dents on your tiny ponies! (Very tiny dents, but still.) (I also found a slightly larger dent on Blossomforth that I have no idea where it came from, when all I did was put her in a pile with the others?)
Also, the plate with a slice of cake on it was completely warped from the plastic packaging, if you're the kind who cares about cake plates. :P
I'm grateful I just buy these to play with and customize! Seriously, what's the deal with the plastic Hasbro is using these days?
Not really a big deal, but I know some of us are quite picky. :)

That sticks :( It's a good thing you're customizing them, though.

Run hot water over them and see if the dents disappear.

The boiling water trick usually works for dents in soft plastic - plastic has a memory and in theory will reform to [or close to] its most recent mould.
But unfortunately its been known throughout all previous pony generations and pretty much in any soft plastic products that plastic "gripping" other plastic will likely cause dents.

It's too bad Hasbro pretty much neglects quality with the G4 toys. :huh:
