Trixie Lulamoon Pony

Sorry the post is late, I had things going on on Monday and wasn't able to get this done.

When you are getting My Little Pony toys that are G4 they typically come with small accessories and can come with a variety of ponies. One of the favorite ponies of the fans is Trixie Lulamoon!

She is definitely a fan favorite although she has only been available in a few forms so far. There have been blind bag versions of her, glitter, solid, and with the 3d Cutiemark. Each of these come with a small trading card as all blind bags do. There have also been regular versions of her with real hair instead of the formed, two of them represent the Royal Wedding while the other is part of a collector set from Toys R Us that I will write about later.

I personally have gotten two different versions of her, one is a regular figure while the other is a glitter pony from a blind bag. The one pictured above is from the Royal Wedding set that came out before the version with the DVD came out.  The only difference I can see between the two ponies is that one has a cardboard picture of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor while the other comes with a mini DVD. The Mini DVD is not a new thing with the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic toys really, there have been random waves that come with a DVD with an episode on it. The episode that comes with Trixie is "Lesson Zero" which you can see a clip from here. The accessories that come with this pony are cute, though the flimsy cardboard picture seems to be a bit odd to include in the set. There are many ways the picture could have been done, but its not too important how this accessory was done. The cute little present can be opened so you can store little items in side, and just like all ponies Trixie came with a comb for her hair. The pony itself was made beautifully, on mine there are no places where there was mishaps with the paint like you sometimes see with figures. I haven't seen a MLP toy have a paint mishap yet and I have quite a few in my collection so far. Her hair is beautiful with plenty of it to comb and play with, unlike many off brand ponies you can buy at discount stores such as Dollar General and Dollar Tree.

For those that have collected My Little Pony in the past, you may be disappointed with the size the g4 ponies typically are. Above is a G3 Skywishes in diva pose next to Trixie, as you can see Trixie is about half the size of a G3 pony. I am not sure how much the G3 ponies cost, I was not into My Little Pony at all at the time, however I do think that the G4 ponies are a relatively fair price at 5 dollars a pony typically. There are more expensive ones of course, they tend to have more accessories or be bigger but the base price when they come out is typically 5 dollars. However Trixie is becoming a pony that is very difficult to find, especially with her being one of many fan's favorite characters. If you are wanting to get a pony of her I would suggest getting one quickly, as with all things collectible, the longer you wait the more it can cost you. If you can't find her in your local toystore, there are places online and Amazon has both the dvd version and regular version of her available here  and here.  

I highly recommend getting Trixie if you are a My Little Pony fan or collector, she is a beautiful pony and a great addition to any set.  She is a great toy for children and a great toy for the adult fans as well.
