3G brushes / combs question.

[koteuku]

Hello everyone!
So, there's a thing that I'm wondering about for some time now.
I'm actually finding some great G3 pony deals lately, but for the unknown (even to me) reason I'm only willing to buy the ponies with their brushes / combs. And there's the thing I can't solve out by myself.

Do all of the 3G ponies come with brushes / combs?

I tried looking up for lot of MIB ponies and most of them do have their brushes / combs visible inside the box.
But I also found ponies without them, and I'm wondering if they're hidden somewhere else (like in the bottom of the box) or aren't they available at all?

Some explanation would be higly appreciated!
Thank you!

No they don't all come with combs and brushes It completely depends on the release. Most of the earliest and a lot of the single releases do but as you progress through the line and the gimmicks and accompanying accessories change so do whether or not there is a comb or brush boxed as well.

As to the explanation its probably as boring as cost. If they are boxing a pony with an accessory or accessories or with a gimmick or perhaps as an exclusive item, then there is no need to spend extra on the item to include a comb and brush. If the pony is just in a box by herself then they will probably pop one in as its a cheap way to bulk the product.

Does it mean if I don't see a brush / comb inside the box it's nowhere hidden and it's just simply not existing at all?
Or is it possible that it's not exposed inside of the box but is actually hidden in it somwehere?

It could be both but its most likely that there was no comb/brush to begin with. Normally they are either front and centre so easy to spot or can at least be spotted from a quick inspection. They only possibility is if they come loose from there holding and they could then fall into hiding.

Oh, that's a relieve!
I'm the sort of a pedantic / perfectionist person and I was afraid I won't be able to buy some of the poneis since their accessoriess are missing and I really love to get them with all their accs, especially crowns and brushes.
So from now on I should assume that if I can't spot the brush / comb in MIBs, and it's not mentioned on strawberryreef and mylittlewiki it doesn't exist at all.
I don't know how to convince myself that the pony itself is what actually matters.

I think thats a safe assumption

And if you are not certain you can always ask in the Corral and someone will be able to tell you for certain!

Ohh, just one more thing! Since you seem to know a lot about ponies and helped me so much already. ; A;
Can I ask you if any of these ponies should have brushes / combs in their boxes or not?

(these are the boxes that confuse me a lot, you can't see any brush anywhere in front of the box, but the bottom is so roomy )

LOL - thats a perfect description! On occasion you may find a leaflet in the bottom of the box or just some general marketing nonsense but for these girls no comb and no brush and more often than not nothing at all.
