Basic Fun Toys promotion department is terrible. They need to up their game!
Ooh - got an email today from // All The Cool Stuff UK // saying that my Moonstone + Starshine were shipped! Can't wait!!!!!!!!
Oooh! I'm super excited about these, especially Windy and Moonstone! Do we know if they will be in shops or should I find them online?

They sent Collector ponies to various toy and "cutesy" (I don't know how else to describe them? bloggers with a pastel aesthetic?) Youtube bloggers, which was a pretty savvy move. A great way to get free publicity among audiences who are already into that 'look', for no more than $20 or $30 a pop.
Ribbs, Try bidding on this Peachy. She's by herself and could be a good replacement for that flawed version of her.
Whoo hoo on the ponies finally being in the UK. Well in the care of the post anyway. Something a little interesting happening on basic fun's facebook page at the minute is that the lady who designed the Pretty Parlour is commenting on the post about it.It seems that it was the first toy she designed outside of college and she was also responsible for the rereleases although she seems to think it came with a dog when it was in purple...
Omg! I designed the my lil pony pretty parlor playset 35 years ago when I was a 👩🏼🎨 designer at Hasbro! Thanks for the nostalgia!
Is it just me or did you use Custard’s mold for the kitty instead of the cat the set originally came with?
Awesome observation! Yes all the pieces r in the same injection molded molds except the animals are rotomolded so they can be switched around! The next year I did it in purple with a 🐶 dog!

I don't see where she says that she is responsible for the rereleases?Her first post is:QuoteOmg! I designed the my lil pony pretty parlor playset 35 years ago when I was a 👩🏼🎨 designer at Hasbro! Thanks for the nostalgia!Which doesn't really sound like she was involved much with the reproductions to me.Then someone posts separately this question:QuoteIs it just me or did you use Custard’s mold for the kitty instead of the cat the set originally came with?and the previous person repliesQuoteAwesome observation! Yes all the pieces r in the same injection molded molds except the animals are rotomolded so they can be switched around! The next year I did it in purple with a 🐶 dog!I find this reply really odd since it is still unclear as to whether she is talking about the retro releases or the originals. If she is talking about the retro releases then why does she end her comment using past language? If she is talking about the originals then it seems like she doesn't know what she is talking about? Because the original releases did not use the same animals as SSC as far as I know.
