I Draw When I Am Bored
Stress in life doesn't get me as down as the one single thing called BOREDOM. I can handle stress (perhaps a bit too well), but I can't handle boredom! When I am bored, I get suicidal. Fortunately I have learnt many ways to ferret out of that pit in my emotions. lol Other than shopping, my other forms of therapy include cleaning ponies, keeping my room tidy, write rubbish on the internet, harassing friends and DRAWING. See problem is... on a normal day, I don't draw very well or colour very well. However, when I am bored, my autistic....I mean my artistic..."talents" start to show.
After I draw, I tend to get the compulsion to colour them. It's a hardwired attribute of mine.
And the results:
I wouldn't say these are the best works I have done, but they are definitely some of the more decent ones. lol Very sad...I know...but at least I am NOT NOT bored!

OMG Core 7 Fakie Already?
OMG Look, Core 7 Fakie already surfacing! This picture was taken off ebay. The body pose is wrong, but the head is very close to the Core 7 ones. This is too interesting to pass up. I hope they will turn up in Singapore!

Minty
There are many Mintys but this one in this pose is my favourite. The clothes were taken from the 1st Xmas Minty and given to this one from the butterfly wear series. She is IMO one of the nicest Minty out there next to the one that came out in the special release for the World's Biggest Tea Party Live Show.
In stories and cartoons, Minty always plays the comic relief. Sometimes she is funny, but sometimes, she tries too hard. lol It is well known that she likes SOCKS, which was how the term "rock socks" came from. Indeed, Minty rocks socks like no one's business.
Although Minty is not on my top 10 favourites list, it did sadden me a bit that she didn't make it to the Core 7 during the selection round. If Hasbro didn't sell her with an ugly 3D symbol the last time, she would have probably sold much better. I blame Hasbro for everything because who else can I blame? They make all the horrible decisions that make collectors scream in pain! Little girls probably scream in pain too at what is happening now, but they're easier to manipulate, so maybe it's time to set them up against the pony makers. Collectors need to coalesce into an opposing force that helps to maintain a balance in the pony line before Hasbro goes overboard and kills My Little Pony altogether. They seem to know what they are doing with all the market research and stuff, but they seem not to know exactly what they are doing at the same time. It's like they're drowned in what they are doing due to overexposure from pony radiation. Things tend to go off-tangent a bit...and sometimes, A LOT.
The Core 7 may be doing well, but my Minty isn't very happy that she's been dropped out of the Re-release Pageant. "Not cool", she says, "ain't no rock when you lose your socks."

Meadowbrook & Minty
Meadowbrook
It makes me wonder why of all ponies, Hasbro chose some of the more boring ponies to re-release. It was nice having Royal Bouquet with painted symbols, but I wanted to see Meadowbrook even more. She was one of the first ponies to be released in the G3 line, and has to be one of the prettier yellow ponies around. She's also one of my favourite characters. ^^
I remembered when the G3s were first released in 2003, my friends and I ran out to buy all the new ponies. And right on the shelves with the single packs, the Cotton Candy Cafe and an odd playset with European packaging. Although the playset had a proper name, it was more commonly referred to as "the Flower Shop" by Hasbro in their advertising materials. From there, she ensnared my imagination, and I always had stories for her going on exciting adventures that did not include having tea, even if tea contains a lot of antioxidants.
Sadly, Meadowbrook does not appear much in media materials. She only made a single appearance in a storybook titled "Hide n' Seek". If only Hasbro gave her a little more presence!
All along I've assumed that all Meadowbrooks are the same, re-released or not. Apparently, Hasbro had actually made subtle changes that I didn't bother noticing. Below tells you the differences.
Left=Flower Shop version(v1), right=later version that came as a bonus pony(v2)
Difference? V1 has a more honey yellow, while V2 is more a solid vibrant yellow. The heads are also slightly different if you can tell from the picture. V1 is slight tilted back. V2 is more leveled with the ground.

My G3 Harem of Concubines
Well to start off this section, I'll show off some of my G3s. These ponies reside in my "favourite" cupboard. I was getting bored for the Core 7 stuff, and took time to revisit some of my older G3s, appreciating them more this time, instead of just buying them, open, wash and then chuck them into storage. lol They will feel very neglected, okay...maybe they already did.
Pinkie Pie (pink), Starbeam (blue), Apple Spice (yellow), Daisy Jo (purple)
Rainbow Dash (blue), Fluttershy (pink), Sweet Sparkle (white), Crystal Crown (green - yellow hair is dyed), Twinkle Twirl (purple)
Poinsettia (green), Velvet Bow (aka Russian Pony, pale purple), Dazzle Surprise (aka Razzle Dazzle, pinkish purple)
Wysteria (purple), Moondancer (aka Moondreamer, blue), Fluttershy (1st version, pink)
January Carnation (white), Meadowbrook (yellow), Tea Leaf (pink)

Henna Ponies (Core 7)
There's no one way to call these ponies, because I call them Face Design Ponies, while some others refer to them as Eyeshadow Ponies or "Henna", whatever that means. lol Having been staring at the same Core 7 ponies on the shelves had finally taken a toll on me. Don't get me wrong, I did love the Core 7 ponies for a time, but it's getting painful seeing them and nothing else. Kids don't care, I don't care, only Hasbro cares...I think they care.
Anyway, when I heard these gals out were out, I couldn't be bother because I thought I was over and done with the My Little Pony line. A day finally came when I really decided I wanted to quit collecting ponies... . Visiting friends is always a bad idea, especially pony friends. I was at Yuanie's, and to my horror, I actually thought her Henna Scootaloo cute with the new head. Next moment I knew, I was running out to buy her. Then I spotted Cheerilee at Carrefour, and decided her new face was pretty too. I ...... bought her too. Naturally I had to get Toola Roola because she shared the new face I like with Cheerilee. The unicorn and pegasus were ponies I'd definitely get because well....they're unicorn and pegasus ponies! After owning 5 of the 7 ponies, it seemed natural to get Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash to complete the set. OMG....I collected Core 7 stuff again.
I'm not big on the ponies that still look the same old, pose wise. However, the new heads injected a new lease of life on the Core 7. I fell most easily in love with Cheerilee. Not only does she have the most beautiful hair, the green spray and the leafy extensions on her symbols and face are what I felt were comple- and complimenting touches that enhanced her beauty overall.
All in all, the Hennas were good buys, and definitely recommended to all. As for the normal Core 7s, they're better off bought as custom baits.
Meet Cherry Blossom. I can't seem to bring myself to call her Cheerilee.
Toola Flash - I thought she's kind of cute with the new head and green eye shadows
TAF Scootaloo - so I guess most of us are sick of her, but she's cute in this pose.
Scootaloo meeting her friend Guava Lava. Look, they have the same mouth!!!
