Pony Corral / Re: POTD 6/22/2020 Daddy Apple Delight
« on: June 22, 2020, 02:16:43 PM »
He's one of my all time favorite ponies! :D :heart: :lovey:

I wanted him really badly back in the day but never got him. I did find him in a store one time but was disappointed with how he looked and didn't get him (I have later realised it was a "no country" version I found). I then regretted not getting him but when I went back to the store he was gone and I never found him again  :cloud:. I have been kicking myself for this ever since and I was longing for him even more after this. He plays a rather significant role in my Pony world. Years later when the Internet came around and I got on eBay Daddy Apple Delight was the very first pony I bought online. He got quite expensive with shipping and bank transfer and took a month to arrive from the US. When he got here he reeked of smoke and had yellow discoloration on the front legs. I was of course disappointed by that but I was also so happy to finally have him!! :sunny:
All this history with him has made me a bit obsessed with him and today I have four of him. I haven't been able to part with the ones I have found later.

Here are two of them: Daddy Apple Delight (my first one) on the left and Daddy Golden Delicious (my third one) on the right. My first one is HK, the other three are China.

@ IceCrystal02: I took these photos with my Canon EOS 400D DSLR camera using a 28-105 mm lens :)
Thanks! It's always interesting to see what camera other people use, especially if you like the results. Your photos really are spot-on, they have so much atmosphere, I love evening back light pics. :) I have a Pentax K-1.
Thank you very much! I actually wasn't completely satisfied with how they came out so I really appreciate your compliment! :heart:
I'm not familiar with that camera but did a google search and it looks like a nice camera! I started my SLR photography adventure with my dad's Pentax back in the day :)

Heh heh, me too. And as it made sense that my dad and I could both use the same lenses, my first SLR (analogue) was a Pentax (birthday present from my dad), and I've remained true to that brand ever since. This is my 5th or 6th Pentax SLR now.  :)

Haha, it's the same with me and my dad :D - we borrow lenses from each other.
My dad's Pentax broke. I don't remember how it happened but I think the lens broke too. He wasn't that active with photography at the time. I decided to get my own SLR camera (analogue). The guy at our local camera store recommended a Canon and since there wasn't the matter of lens compability I decided to get the Canon and got two lenses for it. My dad then decided also to get a new camera, and since I now had a Canon he got a Canon, too, and a couple of lenses that were different from mine so our lenses complimented each other. We have both stayed true to Canon since then because, well, once you have picked a brand you are pretty much stuck with it because of lens compability :P lol But I have been very satisfied with Canon and am on my third one.
I know we have went off topic. Are you on Flickr or Instagram?

Happy belated birthday! The short hair on whirls forelock just looks
Like the machine didn’t pull it all the way through. Try lightly pulling it up to see if it goes to regular length.

If you need help with on how to tame their hair I can do a video on Facebook for you and post it. Just let me know 🙂
Thank you very much for your suggestion! :) I tried gently pulling at the short hair and it became longer! But then it came all the way out and now she has a bit of an empty plug. She looks much better like this, though! The hair that came out is a bit shorter than the full length of the forelock. I put a pic in the spoiler.

A tutorial for taming their hair would be pretty cool. Their hair always look so amazing in the promo pics! I'm actually not a member of the group on Facebook but I'll go and join it, have been thinking I should do that anyway :)

Glad I could be of some help :) Maybe at that time I'll have my Palace unpacked from my moving boxes and be able to take better pics.

I don't have a MOC picture but I got my Melody from new and she came with a bright almost neon green ribbon. I just snapped a pic of it:

Hah! I've had this ribbon lurking around the house for the last couple of years and I'd been wondering which of the friends it belonged to.  :P  (It keeps getting lost and then found repeatedly and this has been an ongoing affair since 1994... it is currently in its "lost" state....)
So thank you Ribbs for asking and The_loner for answering this very important question so I can now reunite Melody and her ribbon. :blush: :P

Haha, glad I could be of assistance :lol:

Pony Brag Arena / My first HQG1C ponies!
« on: May 22, 2020, 05:20:33 AM »
I got myself two of the HQG1C ponies for my birthday early this month :frolic:. I have been so curios to check these ponies out ever since I became aware of them some months back but I haven't had a lot of money to spend on toys lately, but for my birthday I did an exception. I got Celebration and Whirl :lovey:

I am so happy to have another boy pony! I think Celebration is the perfect New Years pony and I can't wait to celebrate New Years Eve with him :biggrin:

I haven't done anything to his hair yet, I'm still pondering how to tackle all his curls. I love his multicolored tinsil - it reminds me of fireworks.

I love Whirl's bright colors. She's also my first pony in this pose.

I tried combing her mane and seperating her forelock from the rest. Sadly she has half a plug of hair in the forelock that is short and frizzy and sticking right up. I hope I'll be able to tame it and hide it within the rest of the forelock.

And now I can't wait to get more of these ponies :biggrin:. When Hasbro won't make new ponies in the old molds it's pretty freaking awesome someone else will! :frolic:
