It came from the Toy Chest: in 10 seconds flat!

I got the Fastest Pony in all Equestria... Rainbow Dash!! To help me with this review I hired an Expert in Ponies, Spike, the Baby Dragon...
This is a serious review unlike my normal ICFTTC which have a bit of lame attempts at humor. Rainbow Dash is my second MLP:FIM Pony... Pinkamena Diane Pie was my very first Pony...
Will you stop that, Spike! I will Not make any references to the Plot or how the fandom thinks that RD might possibly be a lesbian pony... Although she DID have a Wingboner when Pinkie Pie... OK Spike, Roll the clip

As always, 1 = crap and 5 = Something more awesome than the Grand Galloping Gala!
Articulation:
Dashie (That's how Pinkie Pie calls her) only has 1 Point of Articulation and is due to the rooted hair. I already complained about the Ponies' lack of articulation before. Almost 30 years and no improvement in the POA!As anAction Figure collector Rainbow Dash would get a 1 here... but since it's the MLP Standard that would translate to a 4 in a MLP collector scale.

Paint and sculpt:
Well there's not much to talk here... She's pretty much molded in light blue and the extra stuff is tampographed. Her eyes have a gentler kinder expression, more like Fluttershy than Rainbow Dash... Her sculpt is similar to the standard MLP stuff... Although she's got a permanent Wingboner. The rooted hair makes her look Completely NOT show Accurate... She's got the G3 Rainbow Dash hairdo...(AKA the Rarity Hairdo) 2


Accessories:
Here's where Show accuracy has been thrown off the window... Why is Rainbow Dash pulling a carriage!? that's what Earthponies do! What's with the Squirrel? Rainbow Dash is a loner! If she was getting a sidekick she should've gotten that chicken pony, Scootaloo!
She also has a pink comb... 2


Overall:
This one is a bit tough... Had she looked more like THIS she would've gotten a higher score...
1.67 as an Action Figure... 2.67 as a Pony... using the MLP curve.

Rainbow Dash herself said it perfectly...
Dammit! I'm still thinking about chopping RD's hair to FIM length... Whwe! made it through the whole review without a Cupcakes reference! D'oh!
