Check out my pony that was signed by The Purple Guy from Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza
I remember back in the day I took a ponies with me on a disney world visit, I guess i was a missed opportunity to get Mickey and Minnie to sign my ponies :/ Darn, to bad I didn't have Chuck E Cheese pony back then, it could have been a conflict of mouse signatures.

This feels kind of that time a lady at a flea market was trying to insist and then argume with me that Baby Chucky Cheese Pony was worth more if it was signed. Or trying to tell me how much other ponies she had to sell were worth. And this was hummm, probably 20 years ago.
Signed???? By who? Charles Entertainment Cheese??????
Tbf I would totally pay more for a pony signed by Chuck E Cheese.
I know that at pony fair and other conventions, people get famous pony people to sign their ponies. Like Bonnie, the lady that first came up with the concept of MLP. Or even I remember sometimes vendors would have fellow pony collectors sign a particular pony, sort of as a momento of the event. But in all seriousness most of the time if you're getting into an actual autograph related collectible of a famous person or even trying to sell something like that which is legitimate in the collecting world, you're going to have to have some kind of proof of authenticity that the signature is real. I've even seen where people go through the process of having to prove a signature is real when it's a high valued collectable. Especially with something ambiguous like this, an 'employee' of a fast food restaurant, dressed up as the mascot, writing on children's toy ponies? I don't particularly see how that adds or increases the value to the pony, especially without proof. Then getting into the passage of time involved and the fact that it's a childrens toy and a lot of kids had a tendency to write on their ponies. So unless there was some kinda thing the restaurant gave with the pony, as a proof of signature. I just have a hard time seeing how this situation increases the value of the pony. Personally, I never went to a Chuck E. Cheese back in the 80's when this pony was offered. I know there was not one near me during my childhood/teens. So I have no info on the process to aquire this pony. I've been to a CEC in the last 10 or so years with family members who have kids. However, I am curious now, was the pony a prize you could win? Did you have to turn in tickets to get her? Or was she mail order, I have no clue on her. I've never been that much invested in her history as I was able to acquire her online at some point. I just find it unusual that someone would put more 'value' on a pony that a random restaurant employee signed back in the 80's with no proof who or when it was actually written on.

For non-ponypeople, every plastic version of a pony/horse is a MLP.

Meh. I don't have a lot to say about 'rarest' ponies. Personally I think it's subjective and where you grew up.
I had the darndest time ever finding Tickle back in the 80's. For me even back then there were certain ponies that were HTF. And just a notice, Mimic was not one of them.
The other thing, the photo of Rapunzel, I know I'm nitpicky but her hair did not look like that when she came from Hasbro. She did not have big curls, her hair was more wavy, etc.

Yeaa, my face probably qualified as a meme when she said it. And that was very similar to my question, Signed, by who? A random employee dress up in a mouse costume? The other thing about it was her ponies were not neatly displayed or anything, they were just piled up in a rubbermaid plastic container. It was like she'd got them out of her garage or storage to sell without even going through the container. It's one thing to as $5, $10, $20 for ponies if you've taken the time to both research them BUT, actually clean them up and make them look decent for the buyer. I'd be willing to pay more for a pony someone has given a little attention to, even a common one. It's another to have a random container of ponies that are in 'ok' condition and some in meh condition and expect to tell customers you want $$$$ money for them. At least clean them and brush their hair! It's no different from the Rapunzel the thread is about. The photos of her look like they didn't even take the time to clean/style the pony and take decent pictures.

Oh yea...I remember a little about the Rapunzel thing. Which, I would never ask question of anyone selling a pony for whatever price they want. I think the issue was when people asked questions about the item and the description they were met with...hum...hostility or straight-up deception. I messaged the seller to simply ask them to measure the mane length (as I wanted to be sure it was correct and wasn't cut). I honestly can't remember right now if they PM'ed me back if they did or not I'll have to go back and see if I can find it, but I do think I remember them changing the description to say something about they wouldn't measure the mane because of...meh, people trying to copy the pony or some such nonsense? Honestly, I forget the wording at this point. I remember in the description the seller at some point had the Rapunzel listed as only 3 on earth. Which most of us long time collectors can show ours to prove there are more than 3 on earth. Then I think there was a whole thing about people making copies, and I'm like yo uh...I still have my proof of purchase from hasbro :/ I did back then made this drama representation to share with everyone If there were only 3 on earth, what happened to all the rapunzel. Hopefully the image link will work. But I was just being silly and trying to make light of the situation. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginMost long-time collectors would be happy for anyone who made $10,000 or Whatever they could make on a pony, more power to anyone. But it's more the incorrect information I think most people, including myself, have a problem with...you can't straight up say there are only 3 on earth if you don't know, and when people point that out you get hostile to potential buyers. That is a sure-fire way of making you look like a scammer instead of a legitimate seller. Edit: Oh, I went back and looked when I made the image and No, not 3 they had it only listed as 1 on earth.

Somehow my walmart managed to get Pheadra, so I bought her last night. I did see that they also have the pool but they've put it way up on the top shelf. I like it but I don't have room for a playset like this so I'm not gonna be buying it.
I'm still trying to find the 'pink' slumber party doll. My walmart has plenty of the 'blue/cyan' doll. Sorry I can't keep up with the names right now (LOL). I have the blue/cyan and gold already.

I didn't get any dolls for Christmas (sad). I did managed to get the slumber party gold and blue dolls but still haven't found the pink one yet. I just saw some pictures of the 'summer' dolls coming out for 2022. Here is a link, this site shows a lot of toys and dolls coming out and they usually have really great pictures. https://www.youloveit.com/dolls/2110-rainbow-high-malibu-dolls-2022.html

I have four of the dolls so far, Bella, Jade, River, and cheerleader Rubywith plans to track down another Ruby or Bella for customizing purposes. Customizing was the original reason I purchased any of these dolls but after playing with them I like them too much to customize my current girls like I was originally going to.I've been thinking about getting the other Ruby so my current Ruby can steal her clothing while I customize her.
If I'm able to find out more about the larger girl that I like I might have to snag her for customizing.
Has anyone else customized their Rainbow High? I've heard they can be a little tricky.
I actually bought a lot on mercari with the intention of making some customs. But I have yet to do anything. Really, I'm more inclined to do just hair and maybe makeup, not anything crazy. I've seen some pretty dye jobs people have done. In the lot I got 2 or 3 doubles of dolls I already have, although I'm debating that I may just keep a couple of my girls in box and just use these out of box to redress, etc. One of the dolls is Bella Parker so she has that light pink hair. Soooo, I may try to dye her hair. I haven't yet decided what color to do yet, or I'm more thinking of trying a couple colors, sorta do a half and half fade from her light pink do a darker color on the ends, etc. One of the other doubles is jade, and I'm thinking I may try to take her hair out and reroot something. Either way, future crafing plans

Yes, as others explained it was random. I was able to get a full set back then by looking through the bubble when they were being sold.

44 minutes each? Dang, that's a little long. I mean, if you cut out bumpers and commercials I think your average single cartoon episode was roughly around 20 some odd minutes.
I think those are the specials, the article says the regular episodes would be 22 minutes.
Ahh okay. I musta missed that part.
I didn't either at first  I wonder if they're going to netflix as well like the movie but it didn't really discuss that info.
