Pony Corral / Re: 35th Starshine

All bilingual packaging I've seen has the heart (including the ones on ebay). Instead of three dots in the middle of the plastic to smell them, it's ten dots arranged to look like a heart.

So far, I have not noticed discoloration with Windy, Skydancer, or Sunlight. It's odd to see a new retro pony can start to yellow, while many of my childhood 80's ponies are fine. At least it's only this set.

I really hope the line is selling well enough that it will continue--ponies sell well here and even typical flawed ones get bought (except one Parasol who is the worst of all I've seen) and I buy so many due to buying 2 of each, and I buy them as gifts. I have a friend who doesn't collect ponies, but had them as a child and wants retro ponies, but still has not seen even one pony (not even a collectors pony!) despite checking multiple Targets. I would have thought ponies being returned happens mainly with ebay sellers who buy tons of ponies specifically to sell at a much higher price, but then the pony becomes more common and doesn't sell like that anymore. I have never returned a pony (even as a kid when someone gifted me the same pony I already had I kept that one too because I love twins). Even if I were to buy more due to yellowing (which may be futile anyhow since this can happen to that one too), I'd just be enjoying having duplicates, or sell/trade to collectors who want them, or gift them to others who want them. I'm attached to my opened retro rainbow ponies, even though a couple have some yellowing--they were a gift and they are staying with me for life.  :)

Hello everyone! I'm so sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread. I haven't made much progress with my healthy pony goals, unfortunately. I really enjoy having a healthy pony buddy to write to though! Hopefully, I can make a little progress soon and check in a bit more often. I hope everyone is doing well!

I finally found all the new ones at one Target! They put them out recently. I had checked the same Target only a week or two ago. They are so pretty! :D Three other Targets I checked did not have any of the new ones, but had rainbows and collectors.

Even if they are mint when you buy them, they can still get yellow soon after. I had three completely mint ones (Starshine, Parasol and Moonstone) start yellowing. :huh: Will keeping them in darkness help? I'm moving them all to keep in complete darkness instead of displaying them. I feel like the scent is discoloring them so I'm not sure if anything can help. The collector ponies I've had on display for months still look as perfect as the day I got them. I also really hope they don't scent the other sets.

Night Glider and Love Melody because they are very dear childhood favorites. Sweet Tooth is a very close second though!

Okay but is this stolen fan art or official art? (Is this official pony merch at all?)

I think it is official art since some products with that art say they are officially licensed, like this canvas here:

Thanks for all the pics, Taffeta! :D I'd have liked them to make a petite CT. I'm saving all these pics and am so glad to have them! I love that new in ponyland photo one! The forelock in that one is so funny! It kinda looks like they took one without a forelock and tried to make a forelock.

Wow, thank you so much, Taffeta!  :) I love those! That's funny she has the forelock. That's interesting how you didn't get the Sweetberry ponies there until 1990. I'm not sure exactly what you mean regarding how they are pictured on the insert/back of Cherry Treats card. Do you mean US Cherry Treats? I can't seem to remember an insert that has her on it. Is there an insert she is on?

I had a quick look through the pictures I have of my pony comics (which are far inferior to the scans other people have) and she's on the cover of 128 and with Blackberry Pie on the cover of 138 as well. Here you go :)

Ironically, she has a forelock ;)

But then most of the comic pictures were done either from the prototypes or the US release that was already out in stores. We didn't get Sweetberry ponies till around 1990ish I don't think...so a lot later than the 1988 release in the US. The second comic is certainly dated 1990 and that makes sense with my memory.

I am also now wondering how they are pictured on the insert/back of Cherry Treats' card. And whether it's 1990 or 1991 I have in Hasbro catalogues...

Mine say the year and Hasbro and either Italy or Hong Kong. No "pat pend".

Those stickers are so cute. I have the little sticker book with Trickles on the cover (unused with all stickers), but I have no idea on current prices because I bought mine a really long time ago (maybe even 10+ years ago) for $10, I think.

Oh, how cute!! I wish I had that store! I love the TAF ponies. I have a canvas picture with the image on the left and I love it.

You're welcome, Taffeta! That explanation for the Chinese forelock pony makes sense to me. I would love to find a Chinese forelock one. I'm so glad she was in the comics, even if she did not have a major role. I hope someday I can see or buy the comics that have her in them. That would be awesome if she's on the cover of the one with Blackberry/Boysenberry Pie. I will have to keep a look out for that one. I noticed the sweetberry ponies appearing on some merchandise in recent years, like a dress, shirt, and shoes. And the pony postcard set I got recently had one postcard with the sweetberry backcard so I'm very happy about that.

I love the Gameloft game and used to play it a lot, even bought some stuff on it, but ever since I lost all of my progress/my entire game with no way to restore it, I haven't felt like playing it as much as I used to.
