I went ahead and changed my password, both on Instagram and my bank account.   They are totally different.

There is so much theft and scamming anymore that I don't take this lightly.

Off Topic / Someone trying to login to my Instagram
« on: January 18, 2020, 07:41:57 AM »
I got probably 20 emails in the span of a few hours from Instagram.  I don't get on there much, but I do have an account.  It looks like someone in Brazil either did login, or was trying to login to my account.  :(

I went ahead and changed my password, but this worries me.

Why would someone even want my Instagram account?  Should I be worried about my bank account? 

It's just odd...  And  though it is probably un-related, I did get a call yesterday on my way home, apparently from my bank, and they wanted me to confirm my email.  Thankfully I did NOT answer them, I told them I would do that in person.  Maybe I should call my bank or head over there today.  I'm just concerned now.

I guess this is just me worrying too much, but it's odd this all happened on the same day.  I just noticed the emails this morning.

Anyone else have something like this happen?

This one isn't an official release.  I got it from Toaboa when they were selling some prototype ponies.

I call her "Princess Rarity"  (Celestia's hair, Rarity's symbols.)

I don't know how many of these were available at the time.  It's been some years back now!

This is at night with all the lights off.  Not a great image, but the glow is so bright!

This one looks like there is a mark on her cheek, but it's really not there.  Maybe something on my lens?

She does have a flaw.  Two little dots that are in the plastic on her raised hoof.  It's definitely in the plastic.  I dug a bit with a needle.  I won't do more as I fear I will be left with holes.  lol!

I *love* the nylon hair!  I know it's pricier, but in my opinion it's worth it.  Soft and silky smooth!  <3

I tested her glow, and she looks like she has millions of tiny stars in her!  I am looking forward to bedtime now.  lol!

I'll keep my eye open for more of these in the future.

Pony Corral / Re: Which G1 ponies change color as they age?
« on: January 15, 2020, 01:48:20 PM »
Honestly, every pony depending on environmental conditions can have a change in their body coloration/plastic condition...

Agreed.

I wanted to reply something similar, but I felt my wording would come off as sarcastic.  (All of them age!  ;) )

I'm sorry,  I don't have any idea.   I assume this is why no one.has posted a reply. 

Maybe try searching for sold eBay listings to get some information.

Hmm, maybe it's a harder plastic to keep the horn straight?

Thank you! 

I do really love her!  I am not even sure I will do anything else to her hair.  It dried nicely and it's very soft.  <3

I will watch that video though, always good to learn how to care for them properly!

See how nice her hair dried?  I'm liking it as it is for now.  :)

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Re: Talk to me about slime
« on: January 12, 2020, 05:29:12 AM »
For those asking, the Crystal Creatures are about $10 each.

I know slime was popular in the 80s.  The brand I remember was called Gak.  It was it's own thing though.   It just seems like there are a lot of toys now that involve the slime gimmick.   I had play doh, Gak, and silly putty.  They were fun, to me, when I was a child.  But even the Gak wasn't sticky.  I don't know,  I know there are now different slime textures.   The stuff the Crystal Creatures are packed in is gooey and sticky.   I actually "affectionately" dubbed it booger slime.  It's gross.  It is easy to lose parts.  You really have to take your time and carefully feel around to make sure you find them all.

Slime can be fun, but I do wish these companies wouldn't pack the toys in the slime.  Make the slime a separate package at least!  It's like if you got a small Lego set in slime.  As I said, the toy line is good on its own.   It's not based around using the slime.  The slime in this case is just something that slows down the enjoyment.   Only my opinion of course!  But the Poopsie toys are based on using the slime in some way.  I just find it odd packing a nice, not slime related toy, in slime just for the sake of using slime.

Oh wystearya! I forgot to say, try switching the wings and flipping then over, so that their painted sides are facing up. I think you'll find they're more stable that way.

Oh wow, this worked wonders on my Kirin!  Thank you!

While it also helped the wings stay upright on my pale deer, the wing shape must be different and the wings look weird.  (No picture.)  But maybe in time the plastic will go into the right shape.  I am thinking they may have been bent a bit from being in the egg.

Thanks again for the tip!

I can hardly believe how quickly she arrived, my Artistry girl is here today!

I love her, the face is so pretty!  The hair, especially the mane, did need some work.  It's not yet 100% dry, but the sun is getting low so I got a few pictures.

I have always loved the petite size of the Flutter style ponies.

She will be beautiful on display!

A couple of flaws:
(Not enough for me to be unhappy, but I wanted to share them openly.)

Some kind of red/brown mark in the symbol area.  I think I can carefully remove this in time.  I just didn't feel like messing with it today.

This one I am glad isn't on the display side.  I don't know if this is a thin spot in the plastic, or ink or what.  But it doesn't look like it can be removed.
Like I said, it's not on the display side, and the tail can easily hide this 'beauty mark'.  But I did want to show this.
The way they are packaged with the tail between the legs, no one would have noticed this unless they took it out of the bag.  I am not blaming anyone!

I do love her though.  I am probably going to work one more time on the mane hair.  It is soft!  Just messy. 
A word of WARNING to those wanting to use a hair straightener on these:  It can MELT the hair!  I tested a tiny bit and it immediately melted!  My hair straightener only goes to 310 degrees at the lowest.  After unplugging it and allowing it to cool I was able to use it.  But I wasn't going for stick straight hair, just less curly.  I didn't take a lot of time, as we were about to get dinner.  I'll take more time with her tomorrow.

I probably made things sound worse than they are.  I don't mean to!  She is beautiful!  I love having a new G1 style pony!  I am also looking forward to seeing the True Blue (nylon hair type) I ordered from Clipper.  <3

Once I get her hair the way I want I will post a couple of updated pictures.  These were just quick pics.
