I don't get people getting upset about customizing or taking the heads and tails out of ponies. Geez, Louise, they're PLASTIC people! It isn't "sad" because somone destroyed the "integrity" of the pony or "hurt" it somehow. I'd get the screamimg if somone mangled Greek Ladybird, but...yeesh.

And as to customizing - it's not that I think the pony is getting hurt, it's that if someone, say, customizes an uncommon pony that wasn't in bad shape, it means one less of that pony for pony people to enjoy. And to me, yeah, that's sad. But I actually encourage removing heads to check inside.
I really don't like the Big Brothers, either! But my problem isn't their poses, it's their cutie marks/names/colors. I mean, come on ... Steamer? Barnacle? Chief??? Couldn't you have done better, Hasbro? It's like MLP Village People or something. The Mountain boys, however, those I like ... so of course they're really freaking rare and expensive!

But individually I do find them rather cringe-worthy. Just because the Big Brothers are boys doesn't mean they need stereotypical "boy stuff" symbols. Like why couldn't we have had a pony with stars as his symbol instead of (the worst offender, IMO) a FOOTBALL PLAYER PONY.
