POTD 8/8/2012 Shining Armor

[RAMChYLD]

Waiting to get the FS Shining Armor along with FS Cadence. Regular brushable and ponyville, I already have. Darn you Hasbro for making the Fashion Styles a Target exclusive!

[TwilightTrixie]

Have the Fashion Style, the one from the Castle, and the mini   I love him~

[MikaylaIsSoCoolLike]

The only reason I chose "I'll pass" is because I'm not collecting FS anymore. They take up a lot more space and they come with a butt ton of accessories. I'd love his mini version or the one with the castle though!

Are they in stores? But I don't really know if I want them. Do I want Cadence? Sure, I like her. She looks pretty accurate. But I'm not sure if I want Shining-Mohawk over there....

I don't collect FS, but I'd take a brushable mohawk on the small version over the fuzz that he has now.

Yes in "a Target near you"...

I've got the regular sized and the FS Shining Armor, and I'm planning on picking up the mini set too as soon as my Target gets them back in stock (they sold out SO FAST O_O ).  I really love him and I'm so happy to see a boy in G4!  The faux fur/troll hair on the regular sized one has really grown on me since first seeing pictures of him, something about the shape of his tail is so cute. And after taming FS Shining Armor's mohawk into something that more closely resembles his actual hair he's become one of my favorite Fashion Styles.

I want him, but I want the castle version.  And yet...I kinda don't want to have to buy that castle to get him ;-)

Ooh do you have pictures?  What did you do with his hair?

I have the BB and FS, but I don't care for his character or lack there of. He's so clean and Disney and flawless and stereotypical and why is he around again?

Big Mac is modest and earns his living, I can admire that. SA just looks fancy and prances around with princess all day, he might as well be pink too

P.S. I've only seen the wedding episodes, so my opinion could be totally flawed.

^ Hrm, I can see that, but remember too, SA is captain of the royal guard, he works hard too!

I do! 

Here's the setup

I used rubber bands to hold his hair down and then poured hot water on it, paying particular attention to the part which changes directions between the lower and upper sections of hair and the bit underneath his horn.

and here's how he turned out:

Oh, wow, he looks so much better without the Mohawk, IMHO!  Awesome job! 

I feel the sudden need to buy this set and try your method of taming his hair.  Thanks for the tip.
