Pinkie and Rainbow have been rereleased with Rainbow Power packaging, but there's now a clear Rarity and an orange Applejack to add to the line. No pics unfortunately.

I'd love to verify this with pics, but in the meantime,  :newpony: :drunk: :bacon:
Don't have the brushables, but I did pick up a Rainbow Power Rarity keychain.

There she is. It's really pretty! The mold is gorgeous. Completely clear.

They had Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were in 'Rainbow Power' packaging as well. (They also still had some in the older packaging.)

This is the opened package if you want to see the front.

Pony Brag Arena / Re: BAB Fluttershy is so pretty!

She looks great! I can't wait to get her! Did you do anything to her hair or it that how it came? I'm just worried about her hair getting tangled when I snuggle her!
All I did was brush her hair out gently. She didn't need to be clipped or styled in any way.

I have the others as well, and snuggling them can give them quite the tangle. Pinkie's especially bad for that because her hair is curly. As long as you're gentle, it shouldn't be too bad, but sleeping or traveling with them will give them a case of the frizz!

Pony Brag Arena / BAB Fluttershy is so pretty!

I got a BAB Fluttershy for my birthday today! Fluttershy usually isn't my favorite, but man is she pretty! Her Gala dress is stunning!

This picture makes her face look a little funny, but it's adorable I promise.

More of the dress. It's satiny and very pretty.

Haha, sorry about the headless ponies and stuff in the background. This is my painting table, and I didn't think about it when taking the pictures.

I ended up cutting my Dashie's hair, but only a little on the bottom. Then I just brushed it out straight. Turned out really show accurate.

As for Pinkie, I wet and conditioned her hair to soothe some of the frizz (she went traveling with me, so she was a mess) and that worked out alright. The color didn't bleed at all, and I got a good part of her head and butt wet and she's fine. Then I braided and unbraided it to get it to go into little curls. That worked alright.

As for Twilight, I put a headband on her bangs for a few days to get them to lay down. They were sticking up something crazy! Otherwise she was fine, though. I built her myself so I made sure to pick one from the pile with good hair.

I'll try to remember to take some pictures later. :frog:

Pony Corral / Re: Is buying from Taobao ethical?
« on: November 18, 2013, 03:11:19 PM »
Here's my question regarding all of this...

If it seems like something is certainly going to be released, why do people still buy it for exorbitant prices? Why not wait for it to come to the toy store shelves for $5?

I guess pepper on strawberries is something people actually eat and really like. Perhaps the person who designed Pepperberry's CM/symbol liked it? I think it's interesting. Very unique. :frog:

Pony Corral / Re: plushie problem
« on: November 12, 2013, 03:09:04 PM »
I have a lot of problems with my BAB plushies and frizzy poof, too. Their hair seems more prone to poofing than a normal brushable pony. I'm pretty gently with mine, and they're still crazy.

I tried conditioning them, and it helped a little, but the only way I could get rid of the frayed ends was a little trim.

I sure hope Rarity is next! The BAB plushies are so good, and Rarity is my favorite!

I hope they make a Cadance, too! :frog:

The color may just look different because of how the light hits the different texture? If she sent a different color as a substitute, it would have a different color name written on the bag, wouldn't it?

I also have this problem, but only with some colors. I'm relatively new to this, so I just figured it had something to do with some colors being different than others. It's an odd texture, really, but it's hard to tell the difference once you're done working with it.

Pony Corral / Re: The Worst Pony Name You've Ever Heard
« on: September 30, 2013, 08:46:40 PM »
I would just like to take a moment to point out that the pony 'Silver Rain' is in no way 'silver' or 'rainy'. She's blue and white, and her mark/symbol is a bow. P:

It's not a bad name or anything, but it's always been a bit of a pet peeve since I found out about her (after I'd already picked this username).

Get a box bigger than you need it. Wrap her in bubble wrap. Then fill the box with extra packing (packing peanuts, bubble wrap, newspaper, tissue paper, fabric bits, etc) on all sides until it's so tight nothing can move. Tape well and everything should be fine.
This was actually my plan! Good to know it's a good idea. Thanks so much. :frog:

This is all super helpful, thanks guys! I have some modge podge (I think it's glossy) already from other stuff. Might as well try it!

Another question. This pony is going to be shipped a long way (it's a gift for someone in Australia), do you think with proper packaging that it would still stay relatively neat?

... For that matter, any help on shipping a custom? A lot of my packages get a little dinged up, and I want her to be safe.

I'm making a custom of Cloudchaser. (She's the purple one.)

I'm wondering how I could get her hair to stick up like that, and most importantly stay that way. I'm sure I'll have to give her some extra plugs in her head to get the full effect, but I'm unsure what to do to get it to stick up.

I've heard that hairspray is bad for pony hair, and I don't know if glue (or modge podge?) would dry opaque enough to not make it look dull. Ideas?
