“Trust me, my subjects. My methods might not seem best to you but I’m the Queen”-Majesty

I wonder what Majesty said to the Rainbow ponies after the man from New York City cut their manes to make wigs? Maybe she was teaching them not to be so vain?


Ponyfan

That is priceless! LOL

I am so intrigued by Majesty and the comics now, wish I had them!

NightGliderSA, thank you for the fish knife tip! I'll give it a shot before attempting Jasco again as I dread using it now.

I was thinking of displaying Majesty recently and this gave me the extra nudge to do it

"Pony feathers, please don't be cross"  😂

Thank you so much Taffeta for sharing this, loved it!

Thanks Ponyfan and I totally agree, even though I do love the lavender one but the blue is superior without a doubt.

It took me a long time to find a decent lavender one and thanks to my closest friend Pandabear Chan I also have this:

Beautiful results   :heart:

I normally can easily detect a re-pinked pony but this is excellent, thank you for sharing!

SparkleSkye, I'm currently deflocking a baity so soft Twilight and even though I've successfully deflocked ponies in the past I don't remember it being as difficult as this one...

I removed most of the flocking with hot water, covered the entire pony with Jasco following directions carefully (Premium Paint & Epoxy Remover...wearing chemical resistant gloves, adequate ventilation, using a metal container, apply with a paint brush, etc...) but after 2 applications the glue remained stubborn and pink blotches began to appear on her plastic so I decided to stop. I did a mistake of leaving the used paint brush sit in my bathtub while I wash her and didn't realize that the paint brush could ruin the tub's surface which caused permanent damage so this stuff is *very* serious.

I switched to acetone and it cleaned her very well (lots needed for the wings as lovesbabysquirmy pointed out) but I didn't go over painted areas as I know it'll wipe them right off, now I'm tempted to try Jasco once more only on her paint but would have to do it outdoors this time using disposable tools and be patient enough to repeat the application more than twice but not sure about the discoloration issue...

Has anyone experienced Jasco causing any discoloration to purple plastic? Was it a mistake to use it over the entire pony and maybe I should have applied it to painted parts only? Would like to know before I try it again.

Oh sorry that caused an issue, I deleted the images and hopefully the admins can remove them from the quoted replies?

Wanted to put together an image of the following set as well and I definitely prefer seeing the standard baby molds over the BBE versions...

She was one of the first ponies my cousin had (+ UK Snowflake), I used to borrow them both and everything about her fascinated me, it always crushed me when it's time to return her back. She was the German carded release which came without a dragon or bushwoolie.

Needless to say that started my Prinzessin Aquamarin obsession and I now have her with all her minions <3

It is hard to know if they are aware of anything non US so it doesn't hurt to nudge them.

I agree, if it's true that Hasbro UK suggested the Rainbows to come out first in Europe then I hope the UK and European releases will not be completely overlooked.

I made another mock up with the UK babies and rearranged the colors as Sunset suggested:

Very long. Thank you Loa.


 Do we know when the Unicorns and Pegasus will come out?

At the ToyFair they mentioned the plan was for Christmas.

Now that Amazon lists the Rainbows for August 15 and the Pretty Parlor for September 30, it seems likely they'll introduce the Unicorns and Pegasus in November for the holiday season.

I agree on babies. I think maybe they could do babies as a set rather than as individuals, save on packaging that way, maybe with a bottle each and a bear brush and ribbon. If they stuck to the US line they could do

Baby Unicorns (Glory, Moondancer)
Baby Pegasus (Surprise, Firefly)
Baby Earth (CC, Blossom)

Or they could do 2 sets of 3, with one of each species. Since most of those were never sold here, and since I had Blossom as a kid, I'd be interested in most all early babies.

I don't really hold out hope for any European or non US release ponies in this BUT you never know. Applejack, Lemon Drop and Bow Tie could be a set of three, or they could do mother and baby sets or something with them. I doubt they'll want to make strollers, although they are small accessories so maybe?  And Lemon Drop especially as I can't see us getting her any other way unless there's a playset pony release.


I agree that play and care set types would be lovely. Especially if they added in Lofty and Shady to complete the six. That set would also work with them in pairs.

Gusty/Ribbon
Heart Throb (pref for winged hearts even though I'm in the UK, it seems more correct)/Lofty
Shady/Lickety Split

If they made a regular version of baby Shady you would hear my excited squeak from the other side of the world.

Couldn't agree more.

Sets of 3 babies could really work, something like:

Wave 1 a: Baby Cotton Candy, Baby Glory, Baby Firefly
Wave 1 b: Baby Blossom, Baby Moondancer, Baby Surprise
Wave 1 c: Baby Bowtie, Baby Applejack, Baby Lemon Drop

Wave 2 a: Baby Shady, Baby Ribbon, Baby Heart Throb
Wave 2 b: Baby Lickety Split, Baby Gusty, Baby Lofty
Wave 2 c: Baby Cherries Jubilee, Baby Buttons, Baby Sundance?

I made a visual of what it could look like:

I'm hoping they release baby ponies

Same here.

Baby Ponies will benefit most from 3 packs and they can follow the minimal accessory choices used for some of the carded European formats to simplify them:

I also think skipping the BBE and going for the UK Play and Care Set and maybe the German Baby Ponys as the 2nd wave will save them on creating new molds and will sustain momentum as these European releases are far more favorable and sought after amongst collectors.

Pretty Parlor! That's amazing news  :heart:

I wonder why no six pack - maybe it will be coming?

It was available but they sold out in such a short time, I ordered mine and it has already been shipped.

I have also received my complete Rainbow set from France and wanted to note that both my Moonstones came without a comb (just the brush) which is likely to be an early production error, here's a comparison with Windy where you can see Moonstone's box does not have holes punched for the comb:

They're amazing though, Bridge Direct have done a marvelous job! I'll be buying doubles for sure.
