I am never going to get that town hall! Every time I start saving up, a holiday patch comes and I spend them all on decorations.

The shipping costs more than the toy itself and I live in the US! I'm still waiting for my motion Applejack I ordered 2 weeks ago.

Excluding the international ponies, I'd say Lily Blossom. Lily Blossom was a 2nd wave release and a lot of customizers used her to make a Ditzy Doo, so I'd say she's pretty rare compared to the other non mane 6 brushables. I was lucky enough to by her for $20 off of Amazon.com a year ago!

The FIM fandom is having a huge meltdown over this character because she happened to be a student of Celestia... I think they are all jumping to conclusions and assuming the worst, as usual when there is a meltdown. Ugh, this is why fandoms make me want to ram my head against a desk.

I think she is a cute character and am curious to what, if any, kind of appearance she's going to make in the show.

She was shown at the toy fair.

I try to collect every character, especially with the brushables. There are some things I've intentionally skipped, like the original moulded gift set, the Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy design ponies, and variants like the Canterlot Ball set and Europe Daisy Dreams. I've also skipped repeats with the blind bags, like the mane 6. I would like wave 2 blindbags and FS Applejack, but unless they are rereleased, I won't be getting them. I think I will skip wave 8 blindbags too because I don't like neon colors and there are only a few new characters that I hope are rereleased in solid moulds. I don't have the money or space for everything! My G4 collection, however, is rather large and impressive.

I feel the same way. I feel that how most Bronies enjoy FiM is different than how I enjoy it. I love the cute innocence of MLP, the strong female influences, and collecting toys. But I do not enjoy the fanon, grimdark, clop, shipping, and crossovers/ponifying of everything with FiM that a lot of Bronies tend to enjoy.

I get slapped with the furry label a lot too because I draw a lot of anthro characters, but it's usually in a very alienating way and it upsets me a lot.

Oh, it's funny that character has an ask-blog, Starlight . . . He was the one who caught my eye when you posted that group scene of your ponies a while back!  He's so cute!  <3

You mean the dance floor pic? That's actually Bas's art, not mine. He does the majority of the art on Hayshire.
