- Ponies with printed on glasses! Gah! The BAB DJ and FS photo finish don’t have them stamped on, so we know they have eyes!- the names for some of the blind bags are getting more strange by the wave! I like to have a giggle when I see them in the shops Mlp Sunsparkle x
I've long since thought they were inspired by paint colour sample sheets.
Re the snipe vs the proxy bid. Ultimately it doesn't matter which method you use if you are putting in the max you want to pay whenever you bid. If the auction goes above your bid then you should bow out really. I am not a fan of automatic snipe programs. I often bid a little before the end and then turn the PC off and go do something else so I don't get caught in a bidding war. If I win I do, if not, then oh well. I don't do automatic sniping. For me that's more annoying than people bidding ages before the auction ends. I sometimes put low bids on items I want to bid on later so I get proper reminders from ebay, as Ebay fails often to remind me of watchlist items ending, but always reminds me of things I've been outbid on. Over 20 years of using ebay, though, the people I don't understand are the ones who bid much more than a pony is realistically worth because they get caught up in hype. I don't mind when people bid, not really, but if I see a faded Posey going for £30 for no apparent reason, then I have to wonder about the bidders involved.
Totally with you on the toy line/show shifting dynamic. I want a toy line, not something thrown together to keep a cartoon with questionable values on screens.
My unpopular pony opinions - I LOVE the collectors pose! I think it is a very sweet and soulful pose (if that makes sense!)

I think it is a very sweet and soulful pose (if that makes sense!)When I was a child I felt the collector's pose was sort of droppy and so all the collector pose ponies I had were Grandma Ponies.
I've never been a huge fan of the 'Tootsie pose', but I think a lot of people like it and favour it. I only just recently got Cherries Jubilee, the only one I have in this pose, because I don't like it so much. It seems awkward somehow.

I only just recently got Cherries Jubilee, the only one I have in this pose, because I don't like it so much. It seems awkward somehow. As a kid I hated this pose. I had Snowflake and Cherries Jubilee and I wasn't always nice to them. They also got to be stand in boy ponies when I needed more than the three I had for a game or something. But when I was about 8 or 9 I decided to start writing stories about Magic Star and I actively chose to make Cherries Jubilee her best friend because I wanted to like the pony more. It worked. The pose is goofy, but now I don't mind it - though I think part of that was because I knew that here in the UK, Magic Star (with whom I was a bit obsessed at the time) was also in that pose. The weird thing is that now to me that's normal for Magic Star. So my unpopular opinion is that I don't like Magic Star in the rearing pose. Also, I consider SS Magic Star and the other SS ponies the variants, even though they came out earlier than the movie ponies we had over here - because I grew up ignorant of SS ponies and they are the ones with the gimmick I like Skippety Doo and Truly in that pose but Magic Star in the rearing pose just looks wrong to me.
It's funny, I feel like I've somehow seen Magic Star more in the Tootsie pose than rearing, but I prefer the rearing. I always picture deflocked or Brazilian first, though; I have to make more of a conscious effort to picture SS Magic Star, despite her being the wider release, I think.I think that there should have been more rearing, and sitting, ponies, as well as non-flocked versions of SSs, on that note. Another for the opinion bank.
