Does anyone actually like the eyelash princesses...?

[NigheanRuadh]

Rather, does anyone like the lashes?  I'm thinking of taking the lashes off my pink one, but I suppose that would decrease her value...

I think she has her fans-  I see nothing wrong at all with taking off those caterpillars though.  You can even replace them with nicer lashes if you'd like. 

when the eyelashes are monsterous fluffy things like the ones most ponies have (including yours) I don't see how anything you did would not be an improvement...

I do like them! The purple one is my fav outta the 2, hehe. Sorry, Royal Pink!

YES, I love them. My MIB ones are some of my prized MIBs/MOCs. The lashes look better when they are ruly. Overall I just like it being girly as heck and princessy. Chop 'em if you want. *shrug* Or maybe try to shape them a little better just by combing, more fanlike.

Are these rare or expensive? The one with shortened lashes honestly look a lot better!

[ponycake]

Not really, I don't think. I'm not good at loose pony values but I'm pretty sure they aren't elevated much or any above others.

I must admit, I actually kind of like them ... I prefer the trimmed lashes. But I just love that pose its so elegant and actually looks like a horse.

At the end of the day, she is your pony, so if you want to remove the lashes or cut them its your choice

I saw one on ebay a while back that had been delashed. I almost didn't recognise her; she looked so much prettier.

I don't like them on two counts - pose and eyelashes - but I think that, if you wanted to take the lashes off and you weren't planning to sell her it's up to you. I don't think they're worth a lot anyway, except maybe MIB...?

I like them!  But, I like all G1s.  I can't think of a single pony (or gimmick) I don't like!  I will admit, though, the eyelashes look better in the box.  I've seen them de-lashed and they are pretty that way.

I like them!  I fell in love with the pink one at a flea market about 20 years ago, lol!  She had her cape and everything.

I think that the eyelash princesses suffer from the same pitfall as any gimmicky pony: once the gimmick becomes unattractive, it ruins the whole look of the pony. (Think of rusty BBEs, patchy So-Softs, matted Perfume Puffs...) I think eyelash princesses are pretty when they're in good condition, but it helps if you enjoy the ultra-glam aesthetic to begin with. I recently got Princess Pink, and I love her to bits!

The resemblance is uncanny!

Thanks for the responses, everyone.    I like the pony herself well enough.  It's just the lashes that put me off.  Someone posted a picture of a de-lashed alternate rehair of her over in the customs forum, and I thought she looked lovely.  Granted, the lashes on mine are rather wild, but even if they were tamed, I still think I'd like her better without them.  I'm not planning to sell her, so maybe I will at least trim them.

How do they look with applied lashes? I would think the strip would cover the rooting holes too so it would look less unfortunate.

[Leave a Whisper]

I think they're hilarious but I wouldn't wanna own one.

I used to own one for years.  It was complete too.  I like them overall but would like them a lot better without the eyelashes.  I think I had mine as an evil queen when I was growing up.
