Title: Many ponies and merch from the past couple days (with Amazon Pinkie review)
Post by: TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 on November 30, 2017, 09:34:41 PM

So I've gotten quite a bit in this past week, and haven't shared them here yet! Quite a lot in this post. Goodwill hauls, Walmart hauls, and the glittery Pinkie seapony from Amazon!

First of all, a Goodwill haul! This was from Monday.

No actual ponies, but I found books, a DVD, as well as a scooter. Seems the scooter is from the Fashion Style sized Pinkie Pie from Cutie Mark Magic. I love finding G3 story books, the artwork in them is so fun to look at!

Then on Tuesday I went to Walmart. They had Wave 2 of the two-packs with accessories (is there an actual name for these sets?), so I got the Pinkie/Skystar and Rarity/Capper ones. Didn't get the Twilight/Songbird one since she has a single release in All About Wave 3.

Today I went to a Goodwill, this was all I found:

Better than nothing, but not very exciting.

I also went to another Walmart today, in search of All About Wave 2.

I didn't find them, but I did find... Wave 3? For some reason? They had both Waves 1 and 3, don't know if this means that this specific Walmart skipped Wave 2 entirely, or if they plan on stocking them later. I got Cheerilee and Songbird Serenade.

Also got some merch. A magazine that came with a Tempest figure, a super cute Rainbow Dash cube plush, lip balm, and lip gloss with a tin.

I could not resist the beautiful artwork on the lip balms, especially not with the $1 price tag! The cube Rainbow Dash is super soft and squishy, 10/10 highly recommend if you want something soft to squish!

And the ultimate thing I got, the Amazon exclusive glittery Pinkie Pie seapony! She was on sale on Cyber Monday for just $10! With her original price of $50, I wasn't planning on getting her, but did really want her, just not for that price. So when I saw she was a mere $10 on Monday, there was no way I wouldn't take advantage of that.

So, I'm gonna do my best to review this girl here!

Firstly, Pinkie herself. The main part of her body is completely covered in pink glitter, which is absolutely beautiful, very stunning in person! She has fabric covering her tail (it feels like the tail of the normal glitter & style Pinkie is inside of this fabric). Her eyes are glass just like the regular glitter & style seaponies. As I don't have one of those to compare her to, I don't know if her eyes are more glittery than them, or if they're the same. Pinkie's hair is done in four curls. I really adore these curls, and wish Hasbro would give ponies factory curls more often like they did back in G1!

Next up, Gummy! He's super cute and covered in green glitter. I love the little pose he's in that looks like he's looking up slightly, very cute.

Both Pinkie and Gummy's glitter is the type that likes to shed, so do expect to get some on your fingers when you touch them! This is really the only downside to the figures themselves, IMO. I wish they had applied some sort of coating to make it not come off, but if you don't plan on touching them much, it shouldn't be an issue.

Now onto the packaging. As you may know, it lights up at the base. It takes three double A batteries, which it does come with already inside. The lights are blue. Upon pressing the button, it stays lit for about 15 seconds. When it's lit, you can also press the button again to immediately turn the lights off.

With this box, you've got a couple display options. You could just keep Pinkie and Gummy in forever, never taking them out in the first place. If you plan on displaying them just as they are when you buy them, I suggest doing this. While Pinkie is easy to drop back in the plastic that keeps them in, Gummy didn't want to go back in when I tried to put him in there. Because of this, I simply got rid of this plastic, and opted to instead just have the two standing inside of the box with no extra support:

You could also just display them out of the box, I suppose. But I really love the light of the base, so I'm going to be displaying them inside of it most of the time!

And just to tack on, a couple weeks ago my mom got me the seapony fabric at Walmart. Finally got around to making a pillow out of it!

The shedding Pinkie Pie is a bit of a shame. It is pretty clear by her initial price tag that she's meant as a collectable rather than a toy, so while I understand why they opted to keep the glitter more loose it is a bit of a shame for the kids who just wanted a glittery Pinkie to play with.
A wonderful haul overall, though!

I wish that I had seen that she was on sale on Cyber Monday. That's probably my fave PP, she's usually my least favorite otherwise.

Wow. I wish that I would've known that Pinkie was $10 on Cyber Monday. I would've definitely of bought her!

Congratulations on everything!

Congrats on all your finds. I’m still waiting on my Wal-Mart to get that fabric in and on my $10 pinkie pie sea pony to arrive.
