Hi, I was hoping someone might be able to advise me on whether a washing machine would clean my Tennie Tums Iron Man, or destroy it?

The tush tag says "Spot clean with wet cloth only" and it's made of Polyester fabric/stuffing and Polypropylene beads in the bottom. He also has glass/plastic eyes.

He had a cup of coffee spilt on him, which I believe soaked into him quite significantly because he stinks and has a slightly darker stain over half his head. I tried spot cleaning but the water soaks into him so fast I worry about him drying out or going mouldy. He wasn't cleaned immediately after the incident because the coffee spiller didn't realise he (and a couple other toys) had been hit and I wasn't told they were in the splash zone (I noticed the staining days later)...

So do you think I could toss him in a pillow case and into the machine then hang him out on a sunny day without causing more damage? Thanks. 

This is what he looks like (stock image)

On a hiatus from collecting Puppy in my Pocket, not currently seeking any.

I bought a Little Live Pets Turtle out of curiosity, I was interested in the mechanics. I thought it was charming and cute, fun to put in the pool but I mostly just use it for display in front of my computer because it's so loud. I did try to show my partner's nephew but the poor little guy kept getting upset and rescuing it from the water, I think he thought I was trying to kill it haha! I'm tempted to get more designs, but not in any rush.

The Hedgehogs looked fascinating so I bought one, I loved it but thought it would be more interactive if it had another to run around with and bump into... so I bought the rest when they went on sale (I'm such a sucker for 'collect them all' when they're so cute!). It's mayhem when I set them all off together, I love it rofl!

Then the other day I saw someone local selling two mice and a house 2nd hand for cheap. I jumped on the chance even though I had decided the mice didn't interest me much, it was a very good price.. Well, after I had cleaned them up and turned them on they were a laugh, the cat stared at them but didn't bother attacking. My partner begs me to turn them off because wow they make the weirdest noises... I want more mice!

I've not got any of the birds, I'm more interested in the Little Live Pets that move (except the frog and butterfly) but the birds are still cute. I hopefully won't amass too big of a collection, but I'd like to see more waves of the Hedgehogs and I might get some more mice and turtles at some point. (I really just need a small pet of my own. I'm keen to get dogs and cats when we have our own place, but I think I'm desperate to bring rats back into my life asap!)

So, does anyone else have any Little Live Pets? Please share, especially if you've got opinions on the birds that might make me cave and buy one lol. 

Bit of an odd request. I'd like to see a photo of a G3 pony in Waterfire's pose (doesn't have to be Waterfire, just any pony sharing her pose) from her non-display side... specifically with a loose neck and head twisted around so you can see her face from her NDS.

I want to see if it's possible to display a pony of this pose from that angle or if her head just looks too weird lol. I'd check my own Waterfire but she's in storage.

Thanks in advance! If you like, we can make this thread into a funny pose picture thread after I've seen what I need, just for fun. 

I just wanted to share my personal hopes for the future of the My Little Pony show/toy line and thought it would be a fun topic to start a discussion about. Not what you expect Hasbro to do, but what you wish they'll do. It's been a while since G5 was mentioned, since G4 is still going strong.

First off, I hope My Little Pony continues into a Fifth Generation... in fact, I hope it never ends. I hope children and adults alike never tire of colourful little ponies and they always have a place in our world.

Secondly, perhaps a return of slightly more realistic features and structure. I enjoy new interpretations and styles, but there's only so much chibi I can take. If Hasbro repeats G3.5 with a TV series based on the style of the Playskool Friends Ponies I might just cry lol. When I imagine what I'd like G5 to look like I picture the Saddle Arabia delegates from FiM.

Thirdly, more movies! If Hasbro doesn't mess the coming one up too badly, I want to see more quality MLP movies in future. It might even tie in with more adult merchandise, high quality art sculptures of the characters would be awesome.

And the farfetched, an anime would be cool. Something edgy and more adult but still appropriate to the brand.

Anyone got some hopes and dreams for the brand they'd like to share? I bet G1 characters released as G4 toys is still a popular wish, count me in on that one too lol. 

I popped in Kmart today and nearly freaked out in the toy aisle when I saw all four of these new girls. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Cheerliee and dynamic reboot poses, so adorable! I am completely won over by the new designs, they're just so much fun. 

I was so excited to free them that I forgot to take photos of them in package before I opened them, and then before I treated them to a spa... so here's some photos of mangled packaging and ponies with wet styled hair (plus the first four in the background getting a freshen up). 

I gotta say, their hair so far has been very acceptable. The only one with noticeably dry/frizzy ends was Rainbow Dash. Not like the pearlescent ponies that basically all needed a condition right out of the packet.

They also had the rereleased Fashion Styles of Photo Finish and Royal Ribbon... I would have been tempted to buy them but the original packaging has fun backgrounds and I don't need double MIB (*chants* I don't, I don't, I don't). I'm looking forward to the next Fashion Styles in the reboot designs that we saw at the Toy Fair, I'm more excited for new ponies than I have been in years lol.

[edit]

I took better pictures to show off their poses

I just wanted to double check if this postage quote sounds correct? I've not bought from the UK in a while so I don't know if prices have increased.

The item is a single Sweetie Pup, which I'd guess is about Big Brother pony weight and size at most, and the quote is £11 Standard International.

I tried to use the Royal Mail online calculator and came up with about 5-6£, so about half what I've been quoted. But when I check eBay for similar items the postage was about what the seller has quoted me.

So does £11 sound fair and correct? (It really has been ages since I've bought something from the UK lol)

Cheers 

Last year was full of big changes for me. I quit my job of five years Dog Grooming, moved, and ended up getting a simple job... but I'm thinking about a new career.

There was an ad on Facebook that kept catching my eye and I finally clicked on it, studying to qualify for zoo keeping etc...
I've worked in the pet care industry but why not live the childhood dream and work in a zoo?

Can anyone tell me stories or experiences that might inspire me to pursue this career path? I'm really lost at the moment and would appreciate any and all guidance/advice.

Thanks
