Pony Corral / My Little Pony references in other media!
« on: February 02, 2022, 10:12:25 AM »
A little while ago I was watching Bluey with my Fiancé (the show is adorable and has become one of my comfort shows :lovey: )
In S2 EP37 "The Quiet Game" Bluey and Bingo's Dad has to buy a toy for their cousin Muffin. Turns out Muffin is a huge fan of a toyline called "Moonlight Unicorns"

Seeing one of my favorite shows mention MLP is just a dream come true!

Anyway I want to see if y'all have any other examples of media referencing MLP!! Good or bad portrayals, whether you love or hate the media its from, I wanna see!  :nerdy:

She cleaned up nicely. She's a pony I used to have but I passed her on to Hannah. I still have my Braided Beauty from childhood and should really clean her up. I can only hope she'd turn out as nicely as your Bouquet. What method did you use for curling her hair?

For big curls I usually use boba straws and bobby pins!  :happy: I always style damp and let them airdry overnight!

Wow, yes she is! Her mane still has a fair bit of pink in it too. Nice job!

Is she one of the ponies that usually has the fading pink? :what: If so, good to know!!

Wow! She's really beautiful now!  :happy: :ohyeah:
Aw she looks amazing after her bath! Look how shiny that hair is!!
She is GORGEOUS!!!
Wow! She looks amazing!

Thank you so much!!! I was very surprised how smooth her hair came out cuz it was feeling very frizzy when I started!

Back when I got my first haul of G1s (sometime in 2019 I believe) one of the ponies was Brush n Grow Bouquet!
She was badly sticky (pretty sure plastizer leak) and I was pretty nervous about taking care of her. So she stayed in a bag, boxed up with my G4s

Well recently I went through my closet to try and organize/catalogue my things, it was a giant mess!! But I found her in the same bag I left her in. I felt so guilty about neglecting her :yikes: I decided it was time to clean her up!

Pony Brag Arena / [Very Pic Heavy] Giant FB Marketplace lot + Extra goodies
« on: November 30, 2021, 01:34:11 PM »
I realized I haven't posted here in a while I've been a little busy haha
Spoiler
Job hunting stuff plus I recently got engaged!!! :lovey:
But I've gotten a lot of pony stuff in the past little while and I'm excited to share so get ready for a big post!!!

First off I got a giant lot off of Facebook Marketplace, locally too!! The whole lot was 50$
Pictures of Lot below  :frolic:

Spoiler
I got a ton of playsets, unfortunately the castle is broken (it wont close and the stick thing doesn't seem to be attached to anything?)

A bunch of G3s (and one G1!), many of which I've been wanting for a while (Especially Desert Rose and Rainbow Swirl)

Ponyville figures!! I wasn't really into these until I got my hands on some, their colors are so nice and their sculpts are pretty cute too

G4s! I'm honestly a little tired of G4s, I have quite a few and guilty confession most of them just stay in a box :redface: I love the random background characters but, once you get your 6th Pinkie Pie in the exact same pose you get kinda bored of them (and I love Pinkie Pie!!!) I'm also not much of a fan of the movie reboot figures

I do however love this Celestria, she may not be show accurate but she's just so pretty!!!

Ponyville train!!! It doesn't work either, I'm assuming it just needs new batteries. I'm also pretty sure I assembled it wrong haha

Lastly, some odds and ends from different playsets!

Extra Stuff!

Spoiler
G2 Wedding Chapel, which was in box (however already opened)
This was my second G2 find so I'm still pretty amazed! She was only around 25$ at a local flea market

G3 Lunchbox!! I got this hoping to use it for work but its a little small so it's just holding random stuff haha

Lastly the current state of my pony shelf, I really need to make risers because I'm basically out of space  :drunk:

Pony Corral / Re: Ponies you didn't like until you saw them in person?
« on: August 19, 2021, 10:17:07 AM »
Medley! I'm not a huge fan of green so I didn't think I'd like her but when I finally got her I realized her shades of green are very pleasing!

Omg thanks for taking one apart so we can see how they work! I was very curious if the ball joint would be easy to get off with how hard the plastic is. It's good to know that tail replacement is still possible!

28
I'm so glad y'all liked this post haha and I feel super lucky to get my hands on it so early and be able to post good photos even before Target had it listed online  :silly:

29
Thanks for the detailed photo review!  I really like how Zipp looks in this set.

Can you tell us about the type of plastic used?  Maybe like...in comparison to the other generations?  In photos they look like they are made of a harder plastic then other ponies but it might just be something about their finish.  How flexible are the wings, will they bend under pressure or snap off?

The plastic is a little hard but it has some give, it doesn't feel brittle at all and you can bend the wings quite a bit! I seriously doubt they'd snap off very easily. The body is very thick and heavy and I can't tell if its hollow inside or not

These are great thanks for the photos. I might have to pick up the set, can we possibly get some photos from the side views to see the muzzles? Just wish the boys had real manes.
Oh my goodness thank you SO much for sharing this! It's so exciting to see brand new releases up close. This is probably my favorite G5 toy release so far.

I know it's a lot to ask after you shared so many pics but XD I would like to see side views too, should you get around to it. Are you going to style Izzy's hair or leave it as is?

Snoot pics for both the boys and girls!

As for Izzy's hair I'm not sure at this point if I'll style it, how ever I did notice it was rubber banded to her leg! I took it off and it looks nicer

I have a weirdly specific question  :lol: So I have the single release Izzy styling size and I noted her body is a fairly hard plastic but the head is softer and offers some give for the sake of rooting. Do the molded mane ponies in this set still offer some give in their heads? I wanna know if there's any chance of them being able to have their plastic molded hair popped out and replaced with rooting. I don't plan to do so now but maybe later on..

I gave Hitch and Sprouts head a squish and it feels fairly similar in plastic! I think it would definitely be possible to take off his molded hair, what lies beneath though we'll have to see  :devious: I hope someone posts pics if they take him apart!

Ahh thank you so much for the review! I love Zipp and Pipp so much lol.

Do you happen to have a photo of the barcode, so that I can use it to check the stock at my local Target stores?

Here ya go! :>

Sunny looks so darling with that little forelock! I like the way Zipp's mane is styled as well, how bizarre that they couldn't do the same with the boys.

I know right? Her hair looks super cute, they could totally do the same for the boys!!!


Also if anyone else has questions or photo requests, feel free to lmk!!! I'd love to help

Oh I should add MLPMerch found the listing for this set on Target's website

Here's the link!
https://www.target.com/p/my-little-pony-a-new-generation-shining-adventures-collection/-/A-81969868#lnk=sametab

The high quality photos are great but still doesn't do this set justice imo haha

I managed to get my hands on the Shining Adventures Collection G5 set today and since I haven't seen anyone else get it yet (if you have let me know I'm curious haha) I wanted to post a huge thread of pics so everyone can see! Lets begin!!

The Packaging

Spoiler
I've heard that Hasbro is trying to use less plastic for their packaging which you can definitely see that here!

I think its interesting to note that the box makes it a point to imply that
Deputy Sprout is not part of the Mane 5, so if we're getting a 6th member, its not him!

Super cute group shot on the back!

Warning to anyone getting this set, Hasbro used an ungodly amount of tape and twist ties haha

Sunny Starscout

I really love her braid and little front lock! They even gave her the correct color hair tie!

Izzy Moonbow

Spoiler

I feel like her hair is the least accurate of this set though you could probably style it to look more accurate if you wish!
I do really like her horn, they are very prominent this gen.

Zipp Storm
Spoiler

I know a lot of people don't really like Zipp because her funny face and hair but she's one of my favs in this set!
Her hair is gelled together so brushing would be impossible unless you wash it out (which I won't be doing personally!)
I really love her wings both in color and shape. I'm impressed Hasbro didn't cheap out like they did with Sunny and Hitch's markings

Hitch Trailblazer
Spoiler

It is disappointing that Hasbro keeps giving us boy ponies with molded manes. The big brother ponies were so lovely!
Bring back the brushable boys Hasbro! No more troll hair or mohawks, give us boys with long manes!

Deputy Sprout
Spoiler

My least favorite pony in the set haha, yeah just not really into him!
His mold is the same as Hitch but he does have a different expression which I do like!
I might change my mind when the movie comes out but he just seems kinda,, annoying?

Extra pics!
Spoiler

The boys are a little taller than the girls! The girls are 6½ inches and the boys are 7 inches

The ponies have a very good range of motion for their head! I'm pretty sure they have a ball joint

In conclusion!

I really like this set though I am disappointed knowing these won't be the size of the average G5 brushable. I really like the hair quality, it feels pretty soft though I don't know how well it'll handle styling or how it'll hold up over time. I really like their little horse ears and their fluffy fetlocks! I know there are a lot of mixed opinions on G5 right now but I'm hopeful this gen will be fun! At the very least I'll like it better than the Pony Life reboot haha  :happy:
