Saw her before, so very sad people think this is an appropriate thing to do with a vintage toy.  :(

So why is this worse than any other custom?
Yes most are done with a lot more care and attention, but it's all down to personal taste at the end of the day.

its because someone piled random crap on a pony that looked good otherwise rather than doing proper rehairs, paintwork, sealing, etc etc...

Spraying glue on a pony and rolling it in glitter isn't customization. There's no thought or effort put into it, not to mention that thing is going to shed glitter like crazy, pretty much forever.   It's no better than that lady who was painting a G3 Minty black.  They're just trying to cash in on the "OOAK" market. 


If you want to glitterify a pony for your collection (or a commission, or whatever, and hopefully do a decent job) that's fine, personal taste, but doing it in the hopes of making a quick buck off Ebay doesn't go over well with me.

I'll admit it's a little bit of glitter over kill she could be a nice custom but it's one of those too much or not enough I think that maybe if she was rehaired maybe some sculpting or just had a little more attention to detail she might be nice but as she is....meh it just looks messy

Nope, not tempted at all. Don't want to give those people money and make them think their "art" is valuable.

^ My thoughts exactly.  Buy it and they'll just go "HEY PEOPLE LIKE THIS STUFF" and make more. Sad as it is to see, the best thing you can do is ignore auctions like this.

We actually have that show in the U.S. too, so I know what you're talking about! I guess their dresses and cakes are well made at least, even if they're totally over the top!

What kills me is they didn't do a thing with that hair.

But who knows? The seller may have just picked it up at a garage sale or something like that. Kind of looks like kid's work to me.
