I didn't know he voiced Rafiki in both sequels! I know they got a new voice actor for Simba every time.
Sad to hear, he was very good at voice acting.

I was eyeing them to collect but they pump out so many sets so fast...and the price bump at the stores didn't help. You're talking about the plush, right? There's a plastic set but it seems to sell less.
I'm sure kids like them, but they are pretty new. Yard sales or consignment shops may have some for cheap if the parents are unaware of the secondary market.

Given my experience with mobile games so far, I am scared, very scared.

A simulation title like Animal Crossing combined with "micro"transactions is a disaster waiting to happen.

They sure are making a big deal about it by giving it its own Direct, as well.

*sigh* I just want to hear about the inevitable Switch Animal Crossing.

I'd die if bells were premium currency. Imagine forking over $2 for a digital shirt or sofa that you may grow tired of!
The Switch version better not pull an Amiibo Festival on us..I just want classic gameplay.

Welcome! G2 isn't appreciated enough, and your comic sounds very interesting! I wish I had the perseverance to make that many pages.  I'd love to read it!
 

Reminds me of the Teeniest Tiniest Pets from LPS! Very cute!

I haven't seen any pictures of her that show off her wings! They look so nice on her, and her cutie mark is adorable. I hope they still have her around Christmastime!

(apologies in advance for cellphone pictures!)
It turns out I live ridiculously close to an artsy shopping district, y'know, the ones with vintage stores and botiques. My friend went there a week or two ago and had showed me a pony shelf in a store. The prices were high, but I wanted to exhaust them of their stash. It was $12 dollars per pony, with the only G1 being Peachy and the rest common G3's that seemed WAY overpriced.
Thing is, she didn't tell me where she got the pony, she just said that it was in that shopping district. After weaving through many stores with dusty antiques, I found a small toy shop on the other side of the town. NOT where she found the pony, but looked very promising! I swear I had been in there before, but they didn't have any older ponies, just some G4 tins and a card set.
Of course, this was a "no pictures" store, but there were quite a few uncommon G1s! I scooped up three and promised to return to exhaust them of their supply. There was no wi-fi or mobile connection, so I couldn't do on-the-spot price checking, but I'd prefer to overpay for a pony I found in store than I would pay whatever shipping eBay has and wait for at least a week.
Apologies again for the poor cell phone pictures as WELL as the abysmal lighting.

Sunny Bunch is my first Merry-Go-Round pony! It's hard to see in the picture, but she had some metallic paint that came right off with a bit of Goof-Off (haven't seen any weird plastic effects yet...I've been rinsing them off quite a bit after usage so I'm assuming it's alright to use), and her hair cleaned up very nicely.

I'll be honest, I'm not as big of a fan of space-related ponies. I think she's cute, but I'm not crazy about them. The lady at the shop gave her to me for 4 dollars, though! She's gonna need more work, as some of her stars have faded/shed off, and her plastic just seems so...dull to me. It's too late in the year to sunfade, so I'll have to work on her later on...

Aaaand my favorite grab, Wave Runner! I've been attached to this girl since I first saw her, so I feel very blessed to find her so close to home. She's got some sticky spot on her I'll work with when I'm not working every evening...
I didn't end up buying any other ponies from the overpriced store, but my friend and I plan to go back to that store and pick up a few other ponies! They've got a perfume puff as well as a twinkle eye (one that came with a set, I believe? Where are her friends, though?) that I'll have to pick up on Friday. 

I've got a bit of an ebay complex I've been trying to break (I didn't find this pony in the wilderness, she was handed to me on a silver platter! hardly counts!), so the only twin I've got is a twinless Milkweed.
I prefer Big Top's color scheme but Toppy's got the cuter pose. I think I prefer the sets with different colors rather than the ones that just have different poses, it's much easier to tell them apart!
