Ponyville Customs

My new custom Ponyvilles!

Customising Ponyvilles has always been on my agenda list, BUT the cost is always a factor. Here in Singapore, it costs $19.90 to afford a duo pack Ponyville with accessories. Not like I care too much about accessories. Anyway, FINALLY, the stores have begin to realise that their toys are overpriced and started adjusting them since February. I found some of them for $9.90 at first, and then OG started having a super sale for $5 each. Got tons with Sweetie Belles in the set.

It was so much fun customising Ponyvilles mainly because I don't have to change the hair, which is the most tedious part. I hate hair rerooting. The symbols are hard to paint because of the size so I had to paint using a needle. I am happy how my first 3 turned out.

Moondancer - Love the hair, and I painted her symbol with a violet moon which is how she is always coloured in the cartoon and comics.

Majesty - She is actually given a slight pearly glaze that is only evident up close in person.

Magic Star - She was meant to be Cascade, but her hair paint dried out to be darker than I thought, so Magic Star it was.

Baby Ponies Who Can Finally See

EDIT: Added new pictures of de-BBEed babies. Just realised that I am missing Tiddlywinks to complete the set!

Do these babies look familiar? Yes, they were once BBE baby ponies. I've sent them to this awesome UK lady named PinkKittyWink to get their eyes fixed. Many thanks to my awesome awesome friends Brigetsmum (owner of MLPArena) and PrincessLuna for donating most of the BBE baits to me during my US trip. I have alway loved the BBE poses, but thought they could be just as cute with normal eyes. I do not destroy good BBE ponies as I love the mint ones like I love So-Soft ponies.

Many moons ago, I finally had the money and rusty BBE baits at hand, so I decided to get a complete set of non-BBEs in BBE poses. These baits were personally hand-picked for wicked rust in their eyes, some could beat Chuckie (from Child's Play movies) in the horror contest. I was kind of sad sending off a few ponies from my personal collection, which includes Baby Shady, Lickety Split, Baby Sundance, Baby Half Note, Baby Tiddly Wink and Baby Cuddles. They were in good condition when I first got them  a decade ago, but when I took them out from storage, their eyes already showed signs of paint wear and spots of rust spreading all over the eyes. Rust is the worst thing that can happen to a BBE baby pony. A BBE is special mainly because of its eyes, but if they start rusting, not only will the pony stop being special, she'll stop having eyes too.

Aren't they adorable? I still think the pegasus and earth babies can have their molds modified a bit. The pegs look a bit old while the earths are simply awkward looking in general. They look so stiff. :/ No quarrels with the unicorns.

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!
