Return to the Toy Basket
Another opp-shop find, just when I was ready to leave empty-handed this little treasure caught my eye. An egg-cup featuring Royal Boquet.
I don't really eat eggs in a way which really requires an egg cup. Still, the option is open should that situation arise.
What a riveting book this is! It has hair. It may have even originally come with hair accessories but I got it second hand for $1 so...
Do the faces of MLP's occasionally look somewhat reptilian to you? There's just something about them, especially in the cartoon style.
By the way, this image is a link. You can read the whole fucking book if you click it. I did my best with the hair styles.
These stickers came with some delicious candies which came from the Reject shop. Because I'm classy.
The candies were little hearts, which were artificial flavor. I mean strawberry.
With some type of gooey centre which came across as slightly minty and so I choose to describe it as a discord of flavors, as they were clashing and inapropriate but not necessarily in a good way.
Stickers from top to bottom feature:
Sweetie Belle, Toola Roola, Scoo-ta-Loo and Sweetie Belle.
I was on a roll with Pony brand food-stuffs, after getting the strawberry heart candies I found a packet of biscuits, whose flavor is vaguely reminiscent of the cookies from McDonald's only slightly more burnt.
And seriously, the magnet pictures on the packet looked huge, but this photo is pretty much life sized, possibly even bigger.
2010 McPonies.
I got a text message from my No#1 Brother saying there were Happy Meal ponies when I was in class so needless to say I went down during break and obtained one.
Fun fact; toy on its own cost $2, Happy Meal cost $2.95, does this mean the food is worth only $0.95?!
The pony is made of awful cheap soft rubbery plastic, it's squishy.
She has nasty tangled cheap doll hair and is badly painted to boot!
But I don't even care.
I'll collect them all.
Her head looks awkward and gross and her comb does a shit job of untangling her hair.
My No.1 Brother somehow managed to cram this into the mailbox.
The mailboxes here are tiny and locked and the slot to get things into them is only maybe 2 or 3cm.
I have immense respect for skillz this l33t.
This pony is not small. 20-40cm tall and maybe 15-20cm wide.
Oh my! More McPonies. Cheap and nasty and vaguely sticky.
I'm not even kidding, they're slightly sticky to touch. Not quite enough to warrant a hands-washing but enough to make you think twice about touching them.
Perhaps it is a survival mechanism?!
Their butt-tattoos are simplified versions of the ones featured on the actual proper dolls.
These two, Scoo-ta-loo and Pinkie Pie were gifted to me by one of my classmates at TAFE.
She works at McDonald's you see, and is able to obtain these things at a somewhat discounted price. If you catch my drift.
Yes, I have minions out there who obtain ponies for me.
This fact fills me with inescapable joy.
A bowl featuring Fizzy Pop and Star Catcher.
G3 from before they began focusing exclusively on the same seven characters. It was more exciting back then.
This was a birthday gift.
Featuring Cherry Blossom, Rainbow Dash and ... Somebody pink and green... I have no idea. I can't see her butt and don't have the motivation right now to find it. Suppose a normal person would just guess?
Get out of my house.
This and the one above were both gifts for my b'day in 2010. But don't tell anybody.
