I'm with you. For some reason Snowbabies creep me out but I love the pony figures and the fact that they're G1. The old school pony fan in me is grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Lol! Glad I'm not the only one! Like I said, I'd want to break off the baby somehow. Anyone know if it's possible? How are the *things* attached to the base? Glue? Magic? I want them off... I've already located a store near me that sells these figures.
:devious:

Post by: ponycake on July 08, 2015, 07:16:08 PM: I don't like them but I won't break them to get them off. :P Why is it 10 pm, I want to go buy one nowwww.

They are cute, not sure if I'd pay retail though, maybe if they have a sale. I wish I had a little girl so I could put these in her room! My son does like ponies but I don't think he'd go for these, theres no hair to play with lol.

Post by: Lucky_Ladybug on July 09, 2015, 06:31:32 AM: Yeah, I don't actually see anything creepy, at least from the one pictured in the thread. It's pretty cute to me. :)
Title: Re: department 56
Post by: Sunset on July 09, 2015, 06:33:57 AM: Love those! But I'll have to wait for a sale or a coupon. They are rather expensive!

I'm glad to see more G1 retro stuff, though!

Post by: ponycake on July 09, 2015, 08:29:53 AM: I hope they're not too hard to get.

Post by: LadyMoondancer on July 09, 2015, 09:11:50 AM: Wow, my mom had a snowbaby ornament. They still make those?

It's a really cute concept but I'm not really into snowbabies. Great molding, though.

Also, those babies must be huuuuge. I know they're "little" ponies, but not that little!

Post by: cricket on July 09, 2015, 09:38:06 AM: I need Starshine!!! It doesn't appear you can order them online though which is disappointing. I tried for almost 45 minutes last night but only got as far as a store near me that carries them.....but they weren't in stock when I called. I wonder if there are any on Ebay.......

I looked myself and didn't find any but I found two sites listing them as October 2015 releases so got some time it seems.I agree, Starshine is an adorable enough reason to get her. :lol:

Post by: Bow Tie on July 10, 2015, 09:41:39 AM: I am not a fan of snowbabies, but I love the ponies! If my work gets them in during the Christmas season, I could get them for at least 60% off retail price and probably cheaper depending on if they take coupons or if they're on sale, etc. I wonder if it'd be easy to take the ponies off without damaging them. I'd love the ponies by themselves.

Post by: PinkRosedust on July 12, 2015, 02:34:03 PM: Wow, those ponies are so pretty! Gotta love random G1 merch. The price is pretty high though and those babies totally ruin the whole thing. I would want to remove the babies too. :P

As an aside, why is it like impossible to find the listings for these on the site? You'd think they would be in the Hasbro category but no...

It took me forever to find them too. I finally looked under Snow Babies Guest Collection and there they were. I did a search for stores in my area that carry the Guest line and the nearest one is an hour away and the next much further. I may call and see if they have them as I will be in that town next Saturday for my nursing boards :yikes: . I really like the Starshine one, more iffy on the other two even though if they were cheaper I wouldn't hesitate.

Yeah, the babies are not the most appealing I agree. Maybe cover the baby with a nicely placed cloth or something :lol:

Wait, I take back my earlier comment: those prices are totally reasonable! I was expecting $50-$60 or more!
Title: Re: department 56
Post by: shelvesofwhimsy on August 13, 2015, 11:10:49 AM: I have to say, having a very nostalgic connection to snow babies, I love these!
I'm sure most people don't, but my grandmother collected these, and its one of my fonder memories. Hmm I wonder if there are any near me.

Yeah, if they weren't attached to those Snowbabies, I would gladly buy them. But alas, I'm going to have to pass on them.

Post by: Galactica on August 13, 2015, 07:01:52 PM: Wow- the ponies are SO CUTE!!!! I wonder how hard it would be go get the ponies free of the "babies" :yucky:

maybe if I smashed them out carefully with a little hammer ?
Title: Re: department 56
Post by: ponycake on August 13, 2015, 07:07:16 PM: Anyone find them yet or is October correct?
Title: Re: department 56
Post by: Galactica on August 13, 2015, 07:10:33 PM: They are not out yet but you can preorder at various places- like here:http://ww.collectorhead.com/Department_56_Snowbabies/The_Guest_Collection/Good_Night_Snuzzle-4050076.html

I sure wish I liked Snowbabies- I don't see how Snuzzle can be rescued from the embrace of that thing without being damaged. SO SAD!

I wish they were a little cheaper...
Title: Re: department 56
Post by: ponycake on August 13, 2015, 07:11:51 PM: Thanks! I wonder if I should? I'd rather buy them in store but will they be available that way for sure I wonder? :huh:
Title: Re: department 56
Post by: Galactica on August 14, 2015, 09:19:58 AM: Oh I tried ordering and actually the orders disappeared from my cart. Looks like they may be gone already from many (most?) places!

Just as well for me, the figures are incredibly cute but they are expensive considering that I want to hack of parts of the figure- and the porcelain was probably cast all as one piece. DANGIT !
Title: Re: department 56
Post by: ponycake on August 14, 2015, 10:01:23 AM: Agh!! If I can't buy all of them I will be seriously upset.

https://www.christmas-treasures.com/department56/Snowbabies/GuestCollection/Tell-Me-Your-Stories-Starshine-4050075.htm#gsc.tab=0

I am soooo tempted- Starshine isn't attached to any little snowbaby- and I think you could smash the baby out of the sleigh very carefully and put something else there instead (but what?) - Snuzzle is a lost cause unfortunately. I know people are talking about "splitting" the sets- but they are porcelain- and it looks like they are cast as one mold so I don't think you can easily get them apart.

The sculpts are really really cute-
