i’m not sure if it’s “actual” grease, rather isn’t it just slippery and slick? like they made it out of beach ball plastic?
Hmm, so judging from what you guys have said this seems to be common. Maybe it's something due to budget cuts? I know not all of my earlier G4s had perfect hair, but it was at least better than this. I think it's a similar situation to Monster Highs possibly. I can't say for certain since I don't have the sales statistics, but MLP doesn't seem to be as popular as it once was and before the rebrand they seemed to have a lot more gimmicks than usual. I also forgot to mention the Luna I got with Pinkie in the friendship festival pack. While I can't recall pinkie that much since I didn't care too much about her, Luna had extremely short and thin mane and tail. It was silky-ish, kinda greasy, but super short. (also I just want to take a second here to say I hate the new Luna/Cadence mold, especially the heads)This doesn't have much to do with the hair but more-so the overall quality of the newer G4s, but I've also noticed a lot more issues with the plastic around the tail. More extra or cracked plastic.So my conclusion is that the rebrand is sort of a last-ditch effort to squeeze some money out of MLP before they rebrand yet again with G5. The budget has been reduced and as a result the overall quality has decreased.What do you guys think of that theory?
Sometimes the tails really do have horrible hair, but I've found a product that helps at least get it manageable. It's called "Cos-Spray". It's a cosplay wig detangler! You spray it on the hair, comb through gently, and for the really frizzy tails? Curl it up tight with some tinfoil and blow dry for a bit. You don't need to wash it; you can leave the spray in. It's not harmful to plastic, since it's specifically made for nylon wigs, it actually smells quite nice, and it works magic at getting all the knots out and making the hair at least feel a bit better.
