Well I guess I'm going to debunk my test and cave in.
So I completed this little piece on Sunday and other than a few things I'm happy with it.
The color scheme is based off a pony I own on Pony Island

Hey all I thought since I haven't really seen very much in the way of photos for GoH figures (as far as what people think about them) I decided to do one since I bought Nightmare Moon a few days ago. Please note that all my images for this are on DA Sta.sh due to Photobucket being a pain in the pony tail.

So first off on packaging. It's Ok, NM's box was all bent up compared to the two Celestia that was on shelf as well, this was the only NM there.
It gives you a nice view of the pony and if the box was not so bent up then you could keep her in there and just shine a light through the top and display her that way. The sides of the box is just another Graphic of her in-show are and the front view of the figure. The backdrop in the package is the Castle of the Two Sisters, which if they had done the packaging differently that could be saved for other photo backdrops for other figures.

Now for the figure itself!
NM stands at about 8" tall, which includes her wispy hair. She does stand on her own due to having support from her tail. Certain points of her hooves do not make 100% contact with the ground.

Her wings are the only thing pose-able on her. Both wings are set on a ball joint that allows them to pivot to a certain point. I only took one shot of the wings moved because that is all that I needed

I do love her dynamic pose and if I wanted to dish out another $20 I'm sure she could be customed to have the legs move at least a little bit given how they look to be attached to her. However, as with every Hasbro toy figure there are some problems that may vary between the figures.. NM is no exception to the rule.

Aside from box damage (which I know was due to the shipping to the store), my NM has a few other notable things going on with her.
First of all was her paint job. On the side I could see I did note there was paint chipped/blotted on her helmet, there is also paint missing along the edge of her chest piece on the DS. On her NDS there were more small paint errors on her helmet and collar. I also noted that the edges of her ear chipped and her horn towards the front doesn't seem to be fully set (no photo of this because I spotted it after the photo shoot). Her shoes seem to be trying to separate from her rear hooves though that could have been due to heat in the car.

As far as how she compares in size to other ponies. Since she is rearing she is taller than the normal Brushable Nightmare Moon.

As far as ratings go I give the packaging an 8/10 because it's still kind of blah, the figure itself a 9/10 only because she looks like she should have other points of articulation and does not, the paint job and other QC a 6/10 due to having similar issues with the rest of the MLP lines and Funkos for her price.

Over all she is a 7/10, other than a few factory issues she is still a great figure for her price.

Just a pony I worked on for a while... well about 2 years ago

Finally finished her just in time for the end of the 4th ;3

Hey guys, so I have a bunch of G4s from wave 1 to the current wave as far as singles and most of the are still in their packaging because I at the time I was a bit meh about taking them out (more or less lazy). And most of them are hiding in my closet now because there is quite a few of them still in packaging..

So now I'm wondering if it's even worth keeping them in their packages.. I still have ponies from at least wave 3 in their packages, but I'm not thinking about selling any time soon.. and right now my family doesn't want me to put holes in the walls so I cannot hang them on the wall either. A side note the only Main 6 I have still MIB is the ones that were released with pets.. I don't know if they were actually part of wave 1, 2, or 3 but I know they were those earlier waves.

So what do you guys think? Keep in packaging or give in an take them all out?

Ok guys, if you remember my Puppy in my Pocket Blind Bags

So going to do a tracking thread for the numbers or these as well.. bad thing is.. they didn't include a check list in the bags but I did find the online one

So far here is what I have as far as number

#01 = Punkin the Black Shorthair (note: mine doesn't feel soft like the others, it might just be a fluke so I'll grab another and find out)
?? =
#03 = Mischief the Barn Tabby
?? =
#05 = Jenny the Bengal Spotted
?? =
?? =
#08 = Princess the Persian
#09 = Coco the Bermese
#10 = Jojo the White Shorthair
?? =
#12 = Shyla the British Shorthair

Ok.. this is a serious question here... I have collected approx. 12 Windy/Summer Winged ponies for Bait/Restore projects.. Among them is Sky Dancer and Moon Jumper..

I have two of Moon Jumper in the set.. one who has chew marks and pin holes, hair cute, paint damage, and no wings.. the second Moon Jumper has intact wings, good paint, hair cuts, and is just nice over all but needs a bath.. I'm more worried about the one with holes than the other because she would require paint matching, which with her color I doubt I can match..

As for Sky Dancer.. I have 3 of those. 1 Hong Kong and 2 China. The Hong Kong girl has her wings with some damage, her hair doesn't look cut but she has regrind and seems to have one spot of pony cancer... The 2 China girls.. well I might be able to restore at least one of them... One is missing her wings and I though she was missing her back stopper (I actually found it inside her) and the stopper hole is damaged, cut hair, paint scuff on one eye, writing on the bottom of one of her feet, symbols look good, and some sort of white scuffing on her feet, oh and needs a bath... China girl #2 has her wings (although damaged), hair cut, symbol damage, but over all body condition looks good.. she is also lighter than the other China girl but darker than the Hong Kong girl..

So I have a dilemma on my hands... I need to know how hard to find are these two and if people are going to rage at me if I custom the ones I don't restore... I know in the end the ultimate choice is mine, but still it's nagging at me that is is possible that some will send me to the stake to burn (so to say)

I've seen so many different ways of doing this but I'm curious of what people feel the best method is (especially for MH dolls) and still have the ability to dress the dolls.. Also what is the preferred materials used? I don't have Fantasy film but I do have access to things such as transparency sheets and a 3D printer if I go that route..

I would ask on the MH Arena but I really don't want to make another log-in for a site that I will rarely go to.
