Customs / Show Me: BB to Brushable/One Gen to Another
« on: March 02, 2013, 02:00:50 PM »
I'm curious to see if anyone has taken any bling bag pony designs and made brushable customs out of them, or taken a pony in another gen and made a custom of it in a different gen. I'd love to see either  :biggrin:

Wanted! / WTB: Playset-only ponies, Int'l Exclusives
« on: February 17, 2013, 09:43:25 AM »
What it says on the tin :) I'm looking for the last few ponies that I really need to finish off my collection.

Star Dreams (Sweet Slumbers set)
Sweetie Swirl (Carousel Boutique)
Star Swirl (Gem Carriage) (Int'l exc.)
Rainbow Flash (Int'l exc.)
Shine Bright Rarity
Shine Bright Luna (Canterlot Castle)


I'd like to get these in the US since international shipping is expensive, if I can help it. Loose ponies are just fine.

Customs / Has anyone else tried customizing a Design-A-Pony?
« on: February 16, 2013, 09:11:45 PM »
Today I bought one of the new Design-A-Ponies (Rainbow Dash) like the one below:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I want to paint her mane as it appears in the show, but as you can see she comes with a bunch of designs printed all over her.  I can easily paint over the ones on her mane and wings, but the ones on her body won't come off with acetone nail polish. :unsure:

Any advice on how to get them off? Do I just have to try pure acetone or is there something else I could use?

Customs / Hair colors for G4 Bon Bon?
« on: August 04, 2012, 06:00:37 PM »
I'd really like to make a Bon Bon custom to go along with the Lyra figure that's coming out soon, but I'm not entirely sure what hair colors to use. I really want her to be as show-accurate as possible. Looking at Dollyhair, I'm kind of torn between After Midnight and Pacific Ocean for the blue. Opinions/comparison photos maybe?

Off Topic / Keeping a Leopard Gecko calm?
« on: July 13, 2012, 05:35:11 PM »
(I'm not sure if this should be here or on WYP - the latter is full of really serious topics, I felt this would be kind of out of place...)

So one of my leopard geckos has, for the second time, failed to shed the skin on her tail. The first time it was pretty bad - I had to get medicine and stuff and get the skin off flake by flake  >_< (which is probably why it's happened again this time). Anyways, she just shed a couple days ago, so it's not very bad right now.

The problem is, I can't get her to stay still long enough to get the skin off. She's always been really squirmy and it just makes things difficult. She gets especially agitated when I touch her tail. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep her calmer so I can help her?

Wanted! / Want: Int. ponies, banged ponies, FS Ditzy Doo
« on: June 29, 2012, 12:31:21 PM »
I'm on a quest to get the various G4 International ponies. It would be really awesome if I could get them from someone in North America to cut down on shipping costs, but I'm willing to buy them from other places if I need to.

International Ponies:
Daisy Dreams (not the glimmer wings version)
Rainbow Flash
Star Swirl
Other ponies I'm forgetting

Other Ponies:
Cheerilee (pref. with bangs)
Blossomforth
Flitterheart
TS with bangs
Star Dreams
Shine Bright Rarity


I'm more into buying than trading - the only interesting things in my area are the Shine Bright Pinkie and Fluttershy and the FS Luna and Celestia set. If you want them though we can work something out.  :)

Trader & Shipping Support / Aw, crap. (Shipping help?)
« on: June 02, 2012, 12:22:53 PM »
So I was going to ship a pony for a trade today, but I just missed the mailman.  >_<  I've already paid for and printed the shipping label. Will they still take it even if I don't send the package on the date printed on the label? Or do I have to get a new label and wait till Monday?

I've been really wanting the international exclusive ponies (don't we all?). I'm going to Germany in about a week, but from what I've heard my prospects aren't very good for finding them. I'm more interested in buying than trading, but I'm open to working something out. The ponies don't have to be MIB, but I'd prefer it if they had all the accessories they came with and uncut hair. Also, I'd like to hold off on buying/trading until late June, after I get back from my trip.
I could also make custom G4 ponies in exchange for ponies on this list :P
 
Looking for:
 
Lily Blossom (really want!)
Cheerilee single
Rainbow Flash
Daisy Dreams
Skywishes
Star Dreams
Star Swirl
RD with bangs
TS with bangs
 
Ponies available in my area:
Mane 6 luggage ponies
FS Twilight, Fluttershy, RD, Luna and Celestia, possibly Rarity
Shine Bright Fluttershy and Pinkie
Wave 1 BBs
Regular-sized Luna and Celestia set

As I said, I'd be more interested in buying than trading. Thanks for looking  ^.^

Customs / Hair Color Matching Guide?
« on: May 29, 2012, 07:40:50 PM »
(Apparently I'm an idiot and created this topic in the 'Adoptables' board... can it be deleted?  >_< )
Okay, so I want to make a bunch of customs of background ponies from the show, and obviously matching hair colors is an issue. Surely I'm not the only one with this problem, so I was thinking... maybe there could be a universal color matching guide? Obviously you wouldn't HAVE to follow the suggestions, but I think it would be a good starting point for those making a certain pony.

The thing is, I've never actually ordered nylon hair from Dollyhair or anywhere.   :lol:   BUT, I think if we work together we can make a comprehensive list of the best hair colors for several of our favorite background ponies. This is the list I've made so far:
 
Aloe - Water Nixie
Amethyst Star -  Sour Grapes/Mulberry Crush
Berry Punch - Bougainvillea
Big Mac - Passionfruit
Bon Bon - Pacific Ocean/Old Bubblegum
Braeburn - Butterscotch/ Honeysuckle
Carrot Top - Passionfruit
Cherries Jubilee - Watermelon Martini/Venom
Cloudchaser -  Arctic Frost, Snowflake
Colgate - Twilight/Forget Me Not
Daisy - Frivolous (Polypropelene)
Daring Do - Black Magick, Hematite, Nickel,White Witch, Moonlight, Raincloud
:muffin: Pony/Ditzy Doo - Lemonade
Dr. Whooves - Hazelnut
Fausticorn - Venom
Fleur - Fairy's Breath/Virgin Snow
Flitter - Daiquari Ice
Lily - Sunlight/Sophisticated (Polypropelene)
Lotus - Pink Sugar
Luna (S1) - Water Hyacinth
Luna (S2) - Forget Me Not/Amethyst
Mayor - Virgin Snow/White Witch
Mr. Cake - Mango Tango
Mrs. Cake - Pink Sugar/Bubble Gum
Nurse Redheart - Dusty Rose
Octavia - Hematite
Pipsqueak - Copper Chocolate/Roasted Almond
Pokey - Hyacinth/Snowflake
Queen Chrysalis - Blueberry Muffin
Raindrops Pegasus - Mermaid
Roseluck - Hot Lips/Bubblegum
Screwball - Sour Grapes/Snowflake
Soarin' - After Midnight
Spitfire - Marmalade/Mango Tango
Thunderlane - Daiquiri Ice, Arctic Frost
Twilight Velvet (Twilight's mother) - Snowflake/Brambleberry
Twinkle -  Pink Sugar
Twist - Pomme D'Amour
These are my best guesses from comparing the images on Dollyhair to screenshots from the show. Since photos and screenshots aren't always reliable, this is where everyone's suggestions come in.  I'll also add ponies to the list if any of the popular ones are missing.
Anyways, thoughts?

Pony Corral / Ponies in Germany?
« on: May 28, 2012, 10:22:33 AM »
Alright, so I'm going to Germany on the 5th for a couple weeks, and I'm thinking this is my chance to get some of the international exclusive ponies. I have a few questions, however:
What ponies are available there? (Daisy Dreams, Rainbow Flash, Star Swirl, other playset-only ponies?)
What stores can I buy them at?
How much do they cost?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.  ^.^

Introductions / Hello everypony ^^
« on: May 28, 2012, 10:05:23 AM »
Just registered, yay! Well, I've been a brony (or pegasister, I suppose) for about a year and a half now and have taken up collecting the G4 ponies recently. I now have 28. o_0 I joined MLPArena in the hopes that I could find the ponies I still need and to also discuss the show with other fans. I'm confident this is gonna be SO AWESOME.  :biggrin:
You may also notice my signature/avatar/other stuff is blank. Yep.
