Husband Pony
May. 16th, 2015 03:44 amI'm getting so caught up in thoughts of getting at least one Troll plushie (I just adore that cute ballerina Troll and I'm in love with the blue hair on the blue one listed as New), that I'm not fully thinking about the fact that I still need to find a husband for my Pony Bride.
Well, truthfully I have been thinking about it, but it currently seemed out of my reach. The seller on the Arena I've bought the other boy Ponies from has some of both the Ponies I was considering for the husband, but they're not in such great condition for the prices and some of the eBay ones sound nicer and cheaper. So I've been following the eBay prices and the best train/Simon Pony is an alright price by himself, but then there's shipping to think of. Blech. If I have to pay $20 for one Pony, I prefer to get other Ponies too so that the shipping isn't so much of a pain. But that seller doesn't have any other Ponies I especially want.
There's a train Pony for a much nicer price, under $20 and with free shipping. The catch? He has a pretty bad haircut in front. The "bangs" piece is gone and it looks like several plugs behind that are also either gone or trimmed way down.
All the boy Ponies have the same hairstyle, really, and I already have three with uncut hair (I realized Salty's hair isn't cut; it just looks that way when it's straightened), so it might actually be a little interesting to have one that looks a little different in that regard. It seems to be his only flaw, from what I can see. But since I really don't like deliberately buying a Pony with a haircut, I need to decide if it's worth getting him with that big a trim. Since he looks so good otherwise and the price looks very good, it's tempting. First, though, I should ask the seller for other pictures; there's only one from one side.
Regarding the Troll plushies, though, I wish I could find out some information about them. A search only brought up links to buy them. But I got mine down today and I remembered that not only was the red one tore when I got him, but the green one acquired a couple of tears afterwards, which I also struggled to sew up. My nine-year-old fingers didn't do a very good job, and I spent about an hour tonight trying to sew up the holes better. I'm rather pleased with how they turned out, especially since two out of three were in awkward places, but my fingers are sore. Oww. And I'm wondering if mine were just from an unlucky batch or if the whole line was prone to tears. If so, even ones still listed as New might come to me with issues or develop them shortly afterwards. That could definitely put a dent in the idea of getting some.
