It Came from the Toy Chest: I'll giggle at the ghosty



Pinkie Pie is SO RANDOM and so mine too! I got a Pinkie Pie!!
Pinkie Pie is my very first Pony EVER!! Sure I've had a few encounters with the ponies in the 80s, but the Magic that is MLP: Friendship is magic has made me love them... Now If Y'all remember I've talked about the ponies before...

So in the words of the late Mills Lane: Let's get it on!
5= good 1= crap!

Articulation:
Pinkie 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 an Action Figure collector Pinkie 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 pink and the extra stuff is tampographed. Her sculpt is similar to the standard MLP stuff... The rooted hair makes her look not too show Accurate... 3

Accessories:
Here's where Show accuracy has been thrown off the window... First of all NO GUMMY!!

I guess that a toothless Alligator is NOT marketable for little girls... The real target audience for them ponies.

Well Pinkie Pie has a comb, a saddle and a yellow mouse... As an action figure collector Pinkie gets a 1 but converting it to MLP Standard 3

Overall:
As an Action Figure collector, Pinkie is an absolute failure: 1.67 (Going through the same standard gauge as ML, Joes, Transformers, MOTUC, etc.) BUT the scale is different for MLP collectors. (They're more used to the lack of Articulaion, the rooted hair that makes everypony look like Rarity... or in Pinkie's case Pinkamena Diane Pie...) but the Lack of Show accurate accessories DOES hurt her a bit and her MLP score would be: 3.33 The lack of Show accurate accessories did hurt her a bit.

Since I mentioned Giggle at the Ghosty
