Title: 35th Anniversary Rainbow Shelf Warmers
Post by: Leave a Whisper on September 14, 2018, 08:25:08 PM
We only just started getting them in, so I'm not sure yet. But I'd love to hear from you guys.

I'm just guessing that we're predicting which will be the shelf warmer?  I put Starshine because she's been so hard to find without a neck gap.  But I don't know, she is very pretty.  Moonstone is a really dark and unusual color, maybe it will be her.  Hopefully, none of them will be.

My favorite pony from this group is Windy.  She is such a pretty color.  Second is Sunlight.  Her symbol just shimmers.   :sunny:

I’m not sure what you mean by “shelf warmer” but I did end up getting all of these in one trip. I think it was an interesting decision to make them scented, though mine haven’t been out of the box so I dunno if they smell particularly strongly or not.

The opposite of the figures that fly off the shelves. They just sit there and many people aren't interested in grabbing them for whatever reason.

Ohh yes, they are potent. I can't speak for all of them yet, but I had to air Sunlight and Moonstone out on my windowsill for days. Filled up my whole room. And the car too.

In my area Windy and Parasol are usually the first to be bought from the set. :) I've seen Skydancer, Sunlight, Moonstone and Starshine multiple times but Windy only twice and Parasol only once.
Out of my ponies so far Starshine has the strongest scent.

Both times I've seen remnants of Rainbows, Skydancer was there to say "Look elsewhere!".
I'm keeping mine in the box, but Starshine's smell could definitely tone down a bit. I LOVE Moonstones smell.

I've only seen these in the one local John Lewis store and the only one that was there both trips was Skydancer. But I don't think that is enough evidence for me to vote ;)

Time to investigate the matter at hand Taf. For Science!

At my Target this set is either extremely well stocked with almost all ponies present, or absolutely ravaged with only a pony or two left.  Right now there are two complete sets, but also an extra Windy (making a total of three) which is the most I've seen of any one pony there so far.

Aye aye ma'am! *salutes*

So I was back in there this afternoon and I can confirm, it seems to be Skydancer. There were 2 of her on shelf. The only other Rainbow was a very badly discoloured Parasol which puts me in mind of the other thread.

Poor Skydancer. She's such a pretty pony too.
