I'm 32 and I love the show, although I'm not much into skeletons myself. ;) <br /><br />I do prefer the animation on the show to the toy versions of the ponies. Because I enjoy the show so much, the toy ponies have grown on me. ;)Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-47695632763261141022013-11-15T22:02:13.421-08:002013-11-15T22:02:13.421-08:00I don't really like MLP.

Of course, I may have been spoiled by skeletons and LEGOS and video games and my dad works at Sony... Okay, so I'm not your average almost 12 year old girl... Okay wow, that was WAY off topic!

I won't necessarily follow that format the entire time. There will be some times that it's a mixture of both. :)Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-61184241852148136072013-10-08T19:55:02.406-07:002013-10-08T19:55:02.406-07:00Enjoyed the review, as I always do!

Rainbow Dash is super fun. :) She'...Hi Juliet! Rainbow Dash is super fun. :) She's up there with some of my other favorites. To be honest, I'm not sure if you capitalize "blind bag" or not either. I don't think it's a huge deal either way. ;) This is definitely a great set, especially since you're just starting out and don't have to worry about getting duplicate ponies. <br /><br />Sunny, I'd love to say I could, but I think it will be best to put her on eBay and give everyone who wants to a chance to bid on her. I don't want to play favorites. I hope you understand. :)<br /><br />Hi Nina! I know which movie you're talking about, but I never actually watched it. We saw Minty in some of the other pony movies from that era, though (my daughters really enjoyed those movies). <br /><br />Jessica M., to be honest, I kind of feel the same way. I really like the way they've developed her character and made her "somepony" to look up to. It's helped me to think that even if they mess with her again, I'd imagine they'll resolve the issue. Some pony fans have speculated that it might even be a time travel situation, where Twilight Sparkle is given the opportunity to see Luna's original transformation through Celestia's eyes. I guess we'll just have to wait and see to find out. ;)<br /><br />While I could pack Nightmare Moon away for a while, I have so many other toys and things that I have packed away. I really don't need to add to the stash. ;) And while she's beautifully done, there are other ponies I want more, so I'm okay. ;)<br /><br />Hi Kate! When I first watched My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was well-written with unique characters and excellent character development throughout the series. The music is great, too.<br /><br />Oh my goodness...I didn't even notice Celestia's missing tail!!! How funny!! :}<br /><br />Heather, I agree. :) Once you calculate what everything would cost separately, you're really getting a good value (which is pretty typical for Costco toys). It just depends on how many duplicate ponies you already have. ;)<br /><br />Good eye, OurAGAdventures. You're the second person to notice Celestia's tail issue. And yes, somehow the marketing art never seems to get her mane right either. :}<br /><br />There will be plenty more pony posts to come! :) Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-11179635763149068492013-10-08T15:56:18.396-07:002013-10-08T15:56:18.396-07:00I absoluetly adore that Nightmare Moon!

Now that I have calmed down, ...GO RAINBOW DASH! <br /><br /><br /><br />Now that I have calmed down, let me just say that this set may have to come home, if only to have most of the major ponys. I'm a mild MLP fan, right now I have one Rainbow Dash and a blind bag twilight sparkle (see how much of a babe in the woods I am? I don't even know if i should capitalize/hypenate Blind Bag or not!).

I love the Apple family characters, and I really like bluegrass music, so it's a perfect combination. I really love ALL of the clever music on the show, though. I'm looking forward to hearing the other new songs, too. :)<br /><br />I've heard "When Will I See You Again" by Owl City on Wreck-it Ralph, which I enjoyed, but I haven't heard any of their other stuff. :)<br /><br />Glad you're excited about the theme! I am too! :)<br /><br />Have a great night!Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-39716850897255238612013-10-07T21:37:26.153-07:002013-10-07T21:37:26.153-07:00Wow, they actually gave Rainbow Dash accurate eyes...Wow, they actually gave Rainbow Dash accurate eyes in this set! =O Lol at Hasbro romanticizing the Nightmare Moon story.

There was one one her ear that I couldn't get off, like it was embedded in the plastic. I thought it was just cause I bought her loose, but now I'm wondering if there's just an issue there, cause one of my ponies from the TRU Favorites Collection (Lyrica IIRC) had a <i>huge</i> smudge on her face too.<br /><br />Nightmare Moon remains a gorgeous, gorgeous pony. When I first unboxed her last year, I was awed by how stunning she is.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15622558694977649448noreply@blogger.com
