My Little PonyMeet the Mane 6 Ponies Collection

I bought these for our daughters 5th birthday, having had them in my basket for a week or two. I was alerted to a price drop and bought them for £24. Was pleasantly surprised when they arrived as they were a decent size - the presentation box filled the delivery box with no extra packaging, and each pony is a good size. I'm sure my daughter will absolutely love them

Before I begin the review proper, here's a quick heads up. While the US sets have a serial number printed on Pinkie Pie's foot, it seems with the European market set they had to add the 'CE' mark. And they decided to do it with giant black letters on Pinkie's leg D:However the good news is that it can be removed with an appropriate solvent. While my first test with Isopropyl Alcohol didn't work, my next test with nail polish remover was very successful. I'm not sure if I allowed to say the brand but it's name is two words staring 'E' & 'T' and is purple coloured with a purple lid and sold at popular supermarket. If you want to use a different brand then try a basic one that doesn't have added stuff (like oils for nail growth) and do a spot test to make sure it won't damage the plastic.A couple of tips-Put the NP remover on the cloth/ paper towel away from the doll to avoid any accidental splashes on the doll (it will also take the paint off the cutie marks & eyes which you don't want)Wash your hands so you don't have any remover on your fingers when handling the doll to avoid damaging the other paintwork.Wipe the mark off and then wash the area with soap and water to clean off the remover.Don't leave the remover on the doll for more than a minute or so as acetone can soften or leave a lighter stain on certain plastics with prolonged contact.Hope that helps!***If you're looking for a set of show accurate figures then these are some of the best i've seen. The box is nicely presented and there's a lot of attention paid the details and posing of each of the characters.The painting on the eyes and cutie marks are very neat and not smudged. However some of the paint on a couple of the character's eyes is flaking off so seems a bit fragile. You might want to be carful when playing or holding more than one at a time to avoid scraping the eyes. The cutie marks are only on one side rather than both.While a lot smaller than the regular toys, I found the sizing was nice. They're big enough to play with but small enough that if you want them for shelf decoration they don't take up a lot of room. (The ponies are around 8cm long x 9cm high)If I had to nit-pick the set loses a little bit of the score for the afore mentioned 'CE' mark issue, Applejack not having her hat (though they make her look very cute without it) and Twilight's sculpting having a very strange looking parting in her fringe.Overall i'm very happy with the set and would recommend it ii you particularly wanted figures that were a bit more show accurate than the regular toys (though I would not recommend the set for young children as the paintwork might be a bit too fragile for rough play) . I'm hoping the set sells well enough that they will produce a matching set with the other Princesses!

My DD loves these!!!! Fantastic present. Tails tend to fall off though & Rarity falls over!

Nothing to coplain. The ponys are great and my daughter loves them. The shipping was fast.

When I saw the pictures and price of this item I thought that it was expensive but when I saw the real product I was very pleased with the price. They are of very high quality and now they are my granddaughter's favorite toys. They are beautiful!

My 4 year old loves it. Looks exactly like the characters on TV. Very good quality.

The packaging ... very hard to get the unicorns out so tightly packaged in that awful plastic which is hard to cut with scissors & so sharp like a blade after cutting ... had to be really careful cutting the unicorns out because I didn’t want to break any of the unicorns, My Grand Daughter simply loves them, & so do I.

Bought as a gift, opened immediately by the child who loved them!! Great quality.
