I have to admit that the G3.5 mums are very cute. If I ever got any G3.5s, it'd be them.
This is the only Rainbow Dash Mum I know of other than the never-made-as-a-brushable Windy Whistlesvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginShe was sold as mum to Newborn Cutie Rainbow Dash & I call her Rainbow Love. She & her Newborn Cutie came wi a shopping trolley. I think a lot of folks would like G3 Customs of her, Cherrylou (Cheerilee & Scootaloo's mum), & Pinkie Pie's mum

Ah, reading some of these more recent posts I realised another limitation I have - No restorations. No rehairs. No repaints (one exception though, she was a rescue greek baby with no eyes that PKW fixed for me). It's not that these things are wrong, but I just prefer them authentic.This also spreads to no repro items (unless you are counting basic fun whose are official products), no customs of existing ponies (not-made prototypes are another matter), no deflocks of ponies that have regular versions already. No fake flutter wings, no fake accessories, none of that.I'd rather have gaps; to me there's no challenge to collecting if you're getting the parts made to order. And space is at a premium so placeholders are unnecessary.On the subject of customs, providing reasonable condition ponies aren't being butchered, a custom of an existing pony in a different pose or a baby version of an adult pony are fine, I just don't like things that can be mistaken for the real deal. Most people are very honest about all the things they make, but I remember the furore about reverse gusty and all the customs that appeared, and it left me very wary.
I don't have the PF Cupcake so I don't know if this applies to her, but the eyeliner is a false lead when it comes to Truly. I have a brown and a black eyeliner PF Truly, and the black one has been inspected in forensic detail at ponycon by LadyG, PKW etc and we all agree she was never flocked. A lot of the Movie Star ponies in this country also have black eyeliner, not brown. So I don't think that's a rule. You have to look for the signs of deflocking. So for me, Cupcake, Truly, North Star, Gusty and Buttons are a deflock no-no. Wind Whistler, Shady (borderline but she is a different colour I think?), Magic Star are all easy to identify at a glance as deflocks, but the others not so much. Cupcake and Truly are also pricy so yeah, I'm not a fan. Same applies to Lickety Split, Cherries Jubilee and Posey, as the European releases from 1986ish are pretty much the same only not flocked.Any other SS deflocked is another matter, though. I admit to liking deflocks.Edited because I like Magic Star so much I put her twice Having seen people hurt by 'fakes'/replicas quite a few times over the years, I just don't like it. :/
