Pony Corral / Re: does the type of shampoo matter?
« on: February 10, 2012, 04:13:09 PM »
Yes, of course it matters! Ponies don't like "man-ish" shampoos. They prefer girly shampoo in floral or fruit scents :)

I actually don't use shampoo on my ponies unless their hair is visibly dirty or their body is so gross I'm concerned about the state of their hair. So when I use shampoo, I just use whatever is closest at the time. (Remember though, no gross manly scents! :P ) Usually I just use conditioner though, which is usually a big cheap bottle from the dollar store. Works great!

She is totally restorable! Ponies like that are really fun because you can fix them up so pretty again, it's really rewarding :) All that girl needs is a good scrub, a little hair (wingers don't even take long to rehair, and she only needs one color. Super easy :) ) and some new wings and she'll be beautiful again!

Pony Corral / Re: Pic of the New US Mcdonalds Ponies!

I dunno though, they kind of look...the same to me. Like their poses are altered just a tiny bit and otherwise they're the exact same as before. In fact I don't think Applejack's pose changed at all, or Cheeriliee's. They just have key chains now.

Those are my exact thoughts! Lily Blossom is nice, but the rest look very similar (if not the same) to their last release....And are we even sure those are keychains on them? They look like....ugly brushes to me :P I see where there's a clip part in the ring, but I dont really see how they'll attach to the ponies.

Even though they look so similar to the last batch...it's still a little sad how McDonalds can pump out more molds and more exciting poses than Hasbro :P I mean, Hasbro couldn't even be bothered to give Fluttershy her own unique blind bag mold...

Pony Corral / Re: G2 gender difference
« on: February 09, 2012, 10:40:49 AM »
I just grabbed a few of my G2s to check. Sky Skimmer and Clover both have only one row of plugs, but Sky Skimmer's hoof feathers had a little more curl to them. But I picked up Tipsy Tulip and her feathering was the same as Clover's. She had two rows of plugs. I think the plug rows must just be random,and the hoof feathers are based on the mold, not the gender :P

Unless Tulip is a boy and no one told me :P

cheerimac..? that just makes me hungry.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! XD

I also think the Cheerilee/Big Mac relationship seems a little odd. I know Big Mac is Applejack's OLDER brother, but it still seems like Cheerilee should be too old for him. Seems like a sketchy teacher/student relationship to me :P But I'm sure the episode will play it out well and hopefully give some more insight as to Big Mac's age so that it doesn't seem strange.

Glow n' shows and sparkle ponies! I love sparkly/glowing things! I was thinking just yesterday how its a shame the newer generations of ponies haven't had any cool new features like some of the G1s had. I'd also love to see wingers and seaponies. Seaponies would be just precious, and wingers would be adorable since the G4s are so small anyway, I think they'd fit the line really well :)


Omg yes, and echoing someone else's idea of pony friends!!

Off Topic / Re: Anyone live in Japan?
« on: February 08, 2012, 12:15:58 AM »
I definitely didn't see anything like that. But then again, I was there as a student. (This was a couple of years ago.) I felt really welcome there. But I also didn't, I dunno, go too many places where I had much of an opportunity to "gaijin smash." (My group's little term for being dumb foreigners and treading on their customs.) If that makes sense. I'm tired, so it's very possible that it doesnt :P

I think since you'd also be there for educational reasons, you'd also be more likely to be in more gaijin-friendly situations, so you wouldn't have to worry about being unwelcome. My boyfriend is living in Japan now (also as an exchange student) and he's been there longer than I was, and hasn't mentioned seeing any signs like that either.

Pony Corral / Re: HAAAAAASBROOOOO!!!! (In the style of KHAAAAAAAAN!)
« on: February 07, 2012, 10:46:41 PM »
Oh my o__o

I don't think Hasbro was deliberately trying to displease you though, or thought they were sending you "unwanted" stock :P Like you said, she is worth about twice as much as your shine bright. Definitely better than something of lesser value. And I don't know what you said when you e-mailed them, but they probably assumed it was for a child anyway. They were probably doing their best with what they had on hand.

Not that I'd be happy to find one of those when I was expecting a replacement for a shine bright G4 either though lol. I'm just trying to be fair to Hasbro....this time :P

Pony Corral / Re: I want a my little pony cutie mark tattoo...
« on: February 07, 2012, 12:00:48 PM »
I'd never be able to get a tattoo, especially not something like a pony, because every few years I start to lose interest in my current hobby and move on to something else for a while :P But I do remember that there was a girl here who had a really adorable MLP tattoo. She actually had several tattoos (I think she had some flutter ponies, and the unicorn from TLU) but the one I really liked was a little sleeping baby Moondancer that I think she had somewhere near her hip. It was small, out of the way, and totally adorable. I think the only actual cutie mark tattoo I've seen, though, is the girl with Rainbow Dash's mark down her leg. I hope she likes FiM for a really long time :P

Pony Corral / Re: Blind bag surprise?
« on: February 07, 2012, 11:00:43 AM »
I like surprises, buuuut.....since the mane 6 are packaged in with the rest, and I really can't afford/don't want doubles, I check who I'm getting first. I want to collect all of them anyway, so when I found them I checked the numbers to make sure I wasn't buying any of the mane 6, and then when I opened them I opened them without looking at the numbers, so it was still sort of a surprise :) I'm only missing one from the first wave now though, so number-checking is pretty necessary at this point :P

Pony Corral / Re: Who Would You Like the New G4 2012 Brush-ables To Be?
« on: February 07, 2012, 10:54:37 AM »
Roseluck, Firecracker Burst, Minty, Heartstrings, Cherry Spices...Lemon hearts or Sweetcream Scoops would be nice too for some color variety.

And I know I'm dreaming, but after last week's episode I would love to see a Daring Doo brushable :P

I lived there for 4 months as an exchange student...but not anymore, sorry :P I know we have a few members who live there though, so I'm sure one of them can help!

Pony Corral / Re: Princess Cadence Toy!
« on: February 05, 2012, 09:50:51 PM »
Lol she looks just like Celestia except that FINALLY HER BOOTS ARE PAINTED IN! Cadance's wings are SO much nicer than Celestia's tacky Starcatcher wings, too.

I probably need her anyway though. Then she and Celestia can have epic princess battles. "My barrettes are so pretty! Flying is fun! 8D" "Well at least they remembered to paint my shoes on!" "I'm a princess! Are you a princess too? 8D" "...."

Also I'm picturing this Cadance with the smaller Shining Armor that comes with the wedding set...like a literal  Bridezilla or something :P

I noticed that too and thought it was silly because as far as I'm concerned, they both say basically the same thing :P I was expecting some sort of typo or silly mistake when I peeled the sticker off, lol.

Pony Corral / Re: US Blind Bag Release Index- Where have they been found?
« on: February 01, 2012, 05:41:05 PM »
I found mine at a ToysRUs. I don't feel comfortable giving out my exact location, but I thought I'd mention it in case people are only checking their WalMarts.
