Pony Corral / Re: Pony quality.
« on: April 29, 2012, 07:31:14 AM »
The hair, atleast for the ponies I bought, tended to have annoyingly high amounts of glue stuck to it. My very first pony, Rarity, had  most of her hair string (when it's wound up in the box) pretty much fused solid from the glue.
A newbie to the whole pony thing as I was, I didn't notice. Actually I didn't look out for something like that.


The plastic itself is probably not a problem, unless you buy a white pony. Smears tend to stick to them a lot harder than colored ponies. Atleast from my experience.


As far as I can tell, Hasbro still puts a lot more effort into quality control for their brushables than they do for the blindbags, but that's probably not saying much.

Try checking the website of your postal service. It might have a calculator for weight, destination country and size of the box. I know the Austrian postal service does atleast.

As for the weight: put the thing on a pair of scales?

Good thing my ponies all end up dehaired anyway. Since the regular hair on G4s already tends to end up messed up.
I'm seriously considering switching to resin manes for them. Atleast all the major characters seem to be provided for by the community.

Good point there, Sugarberry.
Lots usually have something among them that wouldn't sell on its own. It's a common tactic for people who need to get rid of their collections fast.

I was thinking of ebay actually. Should have mentioned that. No insults intended towards this community

You don't, you absolutely don't want to.
It was taken down for its disgusting content anyway.

While I still stick to G4 only, my story is similar. First I only wanted blindbags of the main characters, then it expanded to all the blindbag ponies (since some recolors are really really nice) and from there...


Last year, my only source of ponies was a TrU at the outskirts of the city. Took me an hour to get there and back each. On my third visit they ran out of blindbags and told me they wouldn't get any more. Since that day had been quite bad already, I picked up "brushable" Rarity and Applejack so I wouldn't leave emptyhanded (the sleepover episode still remains my fave).
And from there that herd expanded too, though I keep the bigger ponies limited to characters from the show.




Also what to avoid:
Used G4s, ever since I've been linked to a certain tumblr page, I'm afraid to get my hands on a used G4

I know it'll be bad, but I'm really excited to get my hands on the pc version of Operation Racoon City.

You get to keep the glory, aswell as all the envy and tears of your competitors you can carry.

Further proof that Hasbro seems to have no good ideas left when it comes to the G4 toys. 
I should submit a pink unicorn with pink hair.  I'd win for sure!

If you use an Earthpony instead, you get bonus points in the field of suitability of reproduction, since it uses less plastic.

canon = what the show says what happened
fanon = what the (mostly) dumbass fans add to it, believing it (should have) happened.


E.g. grimdark Celestia/Luna civilwar in ye olde times, :muffin: Pony being "retarded" (which the production team then made canon) and so on.
In this amusing fanfiction world of memes, lesbian orgies and bloodshed, they have the super-awesomest of characters running around, doing the most awesomest of things, showing the actual characters how stuff is done.
And one of those characters happens to be the reincarnation of Nightmare Moon.

*edit*
Sorry if I'm overly negative/hateful. I just really happen to be disgusted by what the "truest of true fans" do to the show sometimes.

A lot of folks have already declared that they'll try to smuggle in their fave Mary Sue fanon pony, Nyx.

Yeah that seems logical. After all we live in an age where youtube celebrities can influence their most gullible of audiences to a scary degree
