When I was gonna buy it it has gone "out of stock".

Oh no! Thats a shame! I am sure it will come back up again in the future...and at that price you will know its a great deal Good luck on the hunt.

Maybe a little G4-esque for me to love...but they are cute!

Hasbro may wish they owned the rights on any plastic ponies of unnatural colours...alas they dont...there is nothing close enough for them to manage a claim against the manufacturs or designers on these cuties. Plus I kind of like other people doing their own pony thing...it reassures me that the further from actual ponies Hasbro gets that other people may manage to rein in back in a little

Yay! You are here!

Welcome to the best pony forum in the world, Mrs! See you around the boards

Ok...to answer some points...

As I said before, removing the FIM forum doesn't eradicate G4, it brings G4 to the same status as all other generations which don't have their own private discussion space and which have managed to coexist in spite of that.

This...this kind of hits the situation on the head...this is an "all-gen, all-welcome" kind of board. We dont have stand alone forums for anything else and FiM (for our moderator sanity and for the good of the board) no longer needs or deserves its own unique space.

A forum for "media" discussion could eventually be a better option and, although its something we have discussed, it would most likely become a FiM foum in everything but name and therefore defeat our purpose in trying to combine things. So, right now, its probably going to be a no.

The entire reason the FiM forum was put in was so that people who wanted to discuss the cartoon wouldn't clutter up the Corral, and people who were not interested in cartoon discussion wouldn't have to wade through FiM topics to talk about toys

Yes, kind of like what we did with MH, this was the initial reason for the forum but ultimately this forum is not as topic heavy as it used to be. There are far fewer threads created in here than out on the Corral and they certainly will not drown out anything else on the board - thats what we have a whole team of moderation staff to prevent.

We understand this is not going to something that works for everyone but forums are quiter spaces than they used to be and keeping fewer boards, each with more traffic makes things easier to negotiate for members (especially those not using computers to access the forums) and drives more discussion. There are lots of reasons in the background for this rather than us just wanting "to drive people away" please be reassured we are doing it with good intent. We think and hope it will work for everyone.

Do you ever look at toy lines and just wonder how they got past marketing, quality and, just, well any kind of sensible person? The scary looking or just the weird that are far from the cute and cuddly?

My favourite are Kenner's Grabbits...I cant help but think they look like evil bunnies and I cant imagine ever purchasing one for a child lol!

Anyone have anything else scary or weird that they have come across in toy collecting? Suitable for Arena audiences of course

I dont recognise it at all...is there any kind of tush tag at all even if you can only get a little information from it.

I am going to pop this over to the FiM forum and we will merge the dicussions together
