I don't really think it's "overzealous nitpicking" that a pony less that a year old has started to develop flaws. Dollar store ponies can look pristine after years so it's not expecting too much for a $10 one to look nice for at least a few years I'd hope. I didn't think then posting that it was going to be some mass issue where everyone is having problems with their ponies. My two collectors that changed colour was just so weird that I wondered if anyone else had the issue as I was baffled. If they'd had those issues when I'd purchased them then I would have taken them back for replacement. They were stored in the same room with identical shelves as all my ponies with nothing touching the discoloured areas. No sunlight, no excessive heat, cold or humidity.
When I said my G1s when new didn't have flaws shortly after I didn't mean issues right out of the package. Sorry I didn't state that right earlier. My bad on that. I meant I never had one start to have issues develop in less than a year or even two or three after buying them. Even my scented ones didn't discolour in short periods of time nor are they yellowed badly now.
I'm totally happy that we have the new ponies out and definitely hope we get more in this series. Sooooo hoping that there is a Gusty along the way somewhere. The rainbow ones I won't be getting any more of but it's more of because the scents are too strong for me. I just got the ones that were my fav of the set.

Is anyone else seeing a fakie pony instead in this post? I don't seem to see the correct photo.

G1 when I was growing up I never had any major flaws show up within a year or two. That's out of hundreds of ponies. Now that they're 30+ years old for some of them I'm not shocked if something happens like plasticizer leakage. For a pony that is just bought this year though, there shouldn't be discolourations happening. They were made with collector's like us in mind who had the originals as children.
I've never even had a fakie start discolouring or have weird marks start happening.

I was wondering how many of you have had problems develop with your anniversary ponies put out by Basic Fun. I've had a few people tell me about issues. Sunbeam - Glitter falling off. Hair breaking. Moonstone - Multiple people having theirs discolour. Parasol - Discoloured Starshine - Head turning yellow I went and looked at mine and saw Cotton Candy and Butterscotch both have dark bluish grey discolouration coming. Each on the same areas. Right ear tip, two spots on cheek and edge of right front hoof. They weren't like that when I took them out of the box in January. They've been sitting on a shelf ever since. How wide spread are issues with these new ponies?

That was adorable. I should check and see if mine are secretly heading to my cherry blossom lamp too.

If you live where there isn't Game Stop, check out EB Games. I went into mine today and they had the mug and cup there. No sign of the socks.

I'm most thankful for the ponies that came from family members who have since passed away. Every time I look at those ponies I think of my loved ones and can picture/replay the day in my head of when I got them. Suddenly I'm back with them for a few minutes.

When I go into Walmart or Toys R Us(still have them in Canada) etc the MLP section has become teeny. My area Walmarts are such miniscule areas of MLP that it's easy to have to look twice to find them. It seems like the focus of toys at the moment are all the blind bag type toys, LOLs, capsule toys. They are everywhere. I can't name all the surprise type toylines now and they aren't cheap either.

Seeing as how natural horse colours is what Bonnie Zacherle intended MLP to be when she came up with the toy idea, it would be great to see some made like this. The line probably wouldn't have gone so far with just real horse colours but it would be great to see some real horse colours produced.
The only ones I can think of are Princess Tiffany and ones like Macau Jenny but that's certainly not a wide release pony.

I feel like places like that always have to be a little overpriced, or else flippers would buy out their entire stock to sell on eBay.  Awesome shop, I love places like that!
True. There is the Toy Shack in Vegas on Fremont St. that I went to about three years back and they wanted $15 or $20 for a non rare, very common G1 pony out of package. It was still really cool to see so many vintage toys in one place.

I guess in a sense I have a Gusty army but it's not all the same version. I don't want more than one of a particular version.
Especially if they are a rarer pony, I want there to be others available for other collectors to own rather than me having ten or whatever. Plus I want to use my money to buy other ponies I don't have. That's just how I am though, kudos to those who like to have multiples of the same pony.
Currently I have US/Canada release Gusty (my first pony), so-soft Gusty, Brazil Gusty but minus her outfit, BBE Baby Gusty, custom reverse Gusty, custom G4 Gusty, custom G4 waterglobe Gusty, Dolly Mix Gusty. A small army compared to many.

I have a feeling they maybe sell on ebay. I've certainly seen that name before, and some of the MOC. I've never been there though.
We have a couple of stores a bit like this in London, though maybe not quite on the same scale - at least, I know of 2 places in London that sell vintage MLP, but the one in Notting Hill doesn't have very much. The one in Camden Market had some MOC stuff and a MIB Sea Pony last time I was there but expensive.
It would be super cool to be able to visit this place in Paris and see what kind of things they have on the shelves 
Do you know the names of these London shops?

If she's sticky it makes me wonder if it's plasticizer letching out from her. Maybe not what made her over colour change but could be in addition to whatever else is going on.

I would love an animated series where it would be something kids as well as adults enjoy. I think the earlier seasons of FIM did that best. Include bad guys to give them troubles to work through.
Toys would have hair that is better quality like the original G1s that was soft and silky and easy to style without going into a rough frizzy mess.
There wouldn't be a zillion releases of the same ponies over and over and over again. Maybe just bring back one or two characters each release so kids who didn't get the other versions will have a chance later to get one.
A little bigger than G4 but smaller than G1 to give them something to stick out from the other generations. Make them more horse like and without the exaggerated eye size of G4.
Include a generation of flocked ponies as we haven't had any in a loooong time.
Include boys and without the sticking straight up mane styles of Shining Armour etc. Give them nice silky locks like the rest of the line.
