I'd walk away.

You've just won an auction for a one-of-a-kind custom pony someone's made of your favorite celebrity.  Only, when the pony arrives in the mail you discover that it isn't a custom, but that somehow your favorite celebrity has been imprisoned inside a plastic miniature horse.  Do you keep the sentient, trapped celebripony (who's fully capable of talking to you, but unable to move), or do you destroy the pony to release him/her from his/her confines?

The first season of Nelvana episodes are the best.  After that, it basically boiled down to Grumpy, Champ, Cheer, Brave Heart, Bright Heart, Treat Heart, Grams, Hugs, and Tugs.  A good chunk of those episodes were either Star Trek parodies or set in prehistoric times.  I'm not fond of those episodes, personally.  But some good Nelvana eps:

Home Sweet Homeless
The Big Star Round-up
The Long Lost Care Bears
Bravest of the Brave
The Cloud of Uncaring
Birthday Bear's Blues
Order on the Court


Here's a full list:

Another long-time Care Bears fan here.  With as much crossover as there is in these two fandoms, I'm shocked there's never been an official crossover in their media or toy lines.  I would totally buy bears (or better yet, equine cousins) with pony cutie marks as tummy symbols and ponies with CB tummy symbols as cutie marks.  Especially when Hasbro had the manufacturing rights to CB toys.  Sigh... a wasted opportunity.

This thread has made me wish I still had my copy of the Land Without Feelings, Care Bears Battle the Freeze Machine and the Care Bear Storybook ( they might also be the Dic cartoons) cartoons. I know there was one about a Cloud Worm and one about a girl helping Professor Coldheart turn a city in to concrete.

The first two specials (Land Without Feelings & Battle the Freeze Machine) were made by the long defunct Atkinson Film-Arts.  Storybook was Nelvana's series, but DiC's episodes were the best (Cold Heart, Cloudworm, etc.).  Nelvana had No Heart as the main villain.

Yes, this is a special issue dedicated entirely to gender and how perceptions are changing.

Pony Corral / MLP In National Geographic
« on: January 08, 2017, 04:25:12 PM »
In the latest issue, MLP makes two appearances.  It's a special issue focused on genders, and the first pony to appear is in the completely pink room of a young girl.  Then there's a full page picture a bit further in.  One of the teens they interviewed was posing on a bed with a herd of ponies.

I never expected to see My Little Pony (or Care Bears or Hello Kitty for that matter) in National Geographic.

Off Topic / Re: Good compact cars with good gas mileage?
« on: January 08, 2017, 04:10:10 PM »
A few others to consider: Ford Fiesta, Mazda 2, & Toyota Corolla.  I'd avoid buying a used Ford Focus only because everyone I know who owns one drives it like it's a race car.  I had a Mazda 2 rental some years back on a cross country trip.  Put almost 6,000 miles on it in the span of two weeks - good little car, I certainly had no complaints with it (well, except going up the Rockies - torque isn't exactly something most subcompacts come with a lot of).

If you want something that gets good gas mileage and has a bit of sport to it, go with a last generation Toyota Celica.  I still see them all over the place around here, and they get great gas mileage.  If pursuing this route, look for the GT - the higher power GT-S tends to attract the same owners as the Focus.

Can't spell 'Discord' without an R & a C. ;)

I happily torment a major Colts fan (who hates MLP) with that periodically. ;)  Thanks for the reminder, I'm gonna go ruin his night right now.

I don't like gimmicks so I passed when she was available due to the glow in the dark feature.  I'm actually surprised they've never done a normal release of her since they went through all the trouble of making a mold just for her.  If they ever do a non-glowing version, I'll be looking for one.

I have her Build-A-Bear release.

Off Topic / Re: Can you answer my Cable TV - Comcast Xfinity question
« on: November 22, 2016, 04:59:51 PM »
I also have Comcast - you can change the adult content to not show the names if they make you uncomfortable.

Click the Xfinity button on the remote, scroll all the way to the right where the gear icon is, select that, scroll down to Parental Controls.  Once there you'll have an option to remove adult titles from the guide/search.

Pony Corral / Re: Minty will be coming to Build-a-Bear!
« on: November 22, 2016, 04:30:49 PM »
Ooooh, I like the Santa cap...and also the winter hat & scarf.  Time to go back to BABW. :D  I think a compromise is in order: Santa cap & winter scarf.  And hopefully they have the mint scent and better socks for her too.

I went just a few days after she was released and the store stock was already low. They said she was selling really well, very popular pony. Oh well, if the die-hard bronies don't want her, more for us. :)
Proof that the bronies don't make the world go 'round. ;)
