Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

Well these are just adorable. I am not really a MLP fan, but these are darn fun and really well designed.  The Fluttershy gal is pretty tempting with that cute pink streak and the Erin 1.0 face mold.  I am not really interested in dealing with this new Industry body sculpt though.  ALSO...it is pretty clear from the pictures that several of these dolls are rocking velcro closures.  Boo.  I think the Rainbow Dash guy is great and I am really tempted to get him.  BUT I also wish that Rainbow Dash had been a sporty gal...a la the great Abby Wambach inspired OOAK Barbie. Le sigh.  These are coming pretty quick and so is convention.  With small edition numbers (500), it might be a bloodbath to get these. I suspect Applejack and Fluttershy will be super popular. From left to right, Applejack, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Verity, Rainbow Dash, & Pinky Pie.

Yeesh.  I will never understand the "get off my lawn" mentality of some doll collectors.  When IT unveiled the newest line, a Hasbro My Little Pony inspired doll line, you would have thought it was the end of the world. Granted, this is a slightly unusual idea that will only appeal to a small section of current IT collectors...I am pretty confident that the whole point of this BUSINESS MOVE by IT is to appeal to NEW COLLECTORS!!!!  My Little Pony is super popular y'all.  It has appeal for people into retro 80's kitsch and is also popular with new younger collectors.  This is a move that is bound to generate some press AND bring new people to Integrity.  NEW COLLECTORS ARE GOOD FOR EVERYONE!  So while some of you are huddled in your fall out shelters with your NRFB Ponytail Swirls and Vanessa 1.0 facemolds and a pristine Bergdorf Poppy...the rest of the sensible world will just keep on collecting and just NOT BUY THINGS WE DON'T LIKE.  Why folks...
