I love factory curl
Quote from: Zapper on March 30, 2020, 01:58:11 PMI greatly dislike the G4 comics by IDW as they have a lot of wonky, off-model art. That's the sole reason why I could never get into them. I ADORED the first 12 I think? Then the art just annoyed me. I liked the plots of a lot of them but yeah, that statement's valid

My Basic Funs have twisty hair and I straighten them too. I like running my fingers through hair.It looks pretty when other people curl their hair, but really that is partially how they're meant to be played with.THIS!!! SO MUCH!!! Make hair styleable & manageable, so the kids (& us) can style it how we like please!!! In my Ponyworld every Pony gets a braided tail & a nice ribbon at the end of that braid. It may not be original, but it's a good quality satin or metallic ribbon wi a colour complementing the Pony. I also love to style the manes of Ponies wi long hair. You give us toys wi hair, we're going to groom & style it!!!

An unpopular opinion I have is that I don't like ponies (or any toys, really) with factory-curled hair. Whoever thought it was a good idea to curl pony or doll hair and then give it to an unruly child....smh. I have been about 50/50 on recurling my ponies' hair when restoring them. Some I am unsure if they actually came with curly hair or not, like Baby Surprise/Firefly, because I never see any that have it now, and their manes aren't very long, so I've just been styling them straight.I recently bought my son a set of Mane Six brushables (mostly to steer him away from my G1s that I don't want him to destroy), and the curly haired ones are already trashed. I haven't given him Pinkie Pie yet, because I was going to try to wash and straighten her hair first in hopes of saving it; it's like they came with this factory glue(wax?) in their hair to make it look nice in the package, but man, it wreaks havoc the minute a child tries to play with it. Like, were these not meant to actually be played with?
I don't get what all the hubbub about flutters are.
Quote from: freezestime on April 01, 2020, 07:12:19 AMI don't get what all the hubbub about flutters are. I'm the opposite, I love the Flutter wings and if I had to choose, I'd say I'd rather have flutters with wings than the wingers (as much as I think they're lovely). But I love them most in their box where they are untouched, because they display so well like that. So maybe I like the flutters best not fluttering?In any case I was glad that they decided not to try and strengthen the wings to make repros (a very unpopular decision) because for me the magic of the flutters is their ephemeral delicacy. I also like the 2nd set better than the first set though. I think this all relates back to an early pony memory of mine as a five year old going to choose a pony with the wall of flutter ponies in Carrefour that I ultimately chose Tropical Breeze from. It's probably my earliest choosing a pony myself memory, so them in boxes with UK artwork is super nostalgic for me.On another unpopular note - people wax lyrical about the US packaging, but I think the UK packaging for 1986 and 1987 is the prettiest pony package art ever done. Not just because of the ponies but the whole concept.

I have all the UK ones before that & a couple from just after, but not that one!!!
I'm not that fond of the sea ponies, the pose is a bit stiff looking imo. The fancy mermaids look super cute though

It's also hard to find UK packaging from 1987 compared with some other years, although there are some MOC examples. The TE ponies, for example - and Megan and Sundance. Which is a shame because they're so pretty. <3.I also really love the Princess Pony boxes.
