Also, those are pretty good sized plushes if they barely fit in one of the Build a Bear box/cub condos.

The person at my BAB couldn't close the box/"house" around my Pinkie Pie, so she basically just left one of the flaps open. Which made it look like Pinkie was peeking out of the house's roof. xD

Thank you so much for the reveiw:D I just convinced my sister in law to come pick me up to go hehe.

Just a heads up to really check the eyes. The first Pinkie I picked up was so bad she looked like Pony. That bad, really. I went through about 6 before I found one I thought was passably. AND I am not picky!

Other than that, I think they're adorable. Our mall was packed. Granted I am in a big city, but I saw about 20-30 sold while I was there. Some parents were picking them up and leaving them unstuffed, just to get in and out.

We went to lunch and by the time we walked back through the mall, we saw at least 50...it was kinda funny, it was like the attack of MLP. The store we went to said they expect to be sold out by Wednesday...at the latest.

Heh, I wonder in what sized box they will arrive on my doorstep. I ordered both the plushies...will they come in one big box or two smaller ones?

I was sooo going to buy one of these today!  They were gorgeous!

I went with the Autism Awareness bear, though. <3

A very helpful review, thanks CrystalSnowflake!
Quick question - which "full version" of the FiM theme song do they use - the one played on the show (1 min), or the long 3 min one?

The one at the beginning of the show

How much did it cost?

Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie $24 USD
MLP theme song $6 USD
Cape $13.50 USD
T-shirt and skirt $11.50 USD
Brush $3.50 USD

So altogether it costs about $88+ tax.

That really is to bad that your store has so many that were bad. I looked over a few of the ones at my store and they all looked fine. I wonder if it was a bad batch.
I hope most people get something closer to my experience.

Thank you for the review Thats really interesting and super helpful!

I am glad it was helpful for you and a few others at least. With all the talk about these I felt someone should do a review.
I hope they sell well enough that we will see the other ponies.

Thanks for the great review!  I'm on the fence about getting one still, but these photos are super helping for considering what's out there!
