Are you talking about the Canterlot set (With Shining Armor and Canterlot Castle playset) or the Fashion Line Cadance?

I think it's the Fashion Line, it's the one that says stuff when pressing on her cutie mark. Which Cadance would you recommend anyway?

Oops, I totally forgot it's Cadance.

Oh, my bad. I had assumed the talking one was a part of the Fashion Line.
Anyway, I personally would check to see the size difference. The talking Celestia (The one getting the white repaint), for example, is easily over twice the size of the normal brushable ponies.

Went to AM2Con this past weekend, got Dissidia Final Fantasy Pony pins (I got Cloud, Squall, and Sephiroth) an 8-bitish Rarity thing made out of beads, a Twilight Sparkle mini print, which I got autographed by Tara Strong, speaking of Tara Strong, I bought a Twilightlicious bracelet from her, which she also autographed, and the Equestria LA people here handing out Elements of Harmony pins, I got Magic and Loyalty, I also got a "My Little Bunny Frienship is Pain" mini art print, and on the back it shows Barnaby holding Kotetsu, and it says "Best Team Ever", and my most expensive purchase...a Fluttershy plushie that has a squeaker in it

(Also I'm really sorry that I couldn't get you Tara's autograph Matrix, they were only allowing 1 autograph per person :( but I got lucky since Tara also autographed that Bracelet she sold me)

It's okay. I'm not gonna hold a grudge or anything.

You sound like you had a wonderful time SideswipePrime. I would love to go to one of these conventions one day. Imagine being able to meet the Queen of voice acting, Tara Strong herself!

^I did :)

Also I found this on DeviantArt

I really dislike the show simply because I've seen a lot of the darker fanbase flood YouTube and other sites with Pony images as well as their need to play the "Why doesn't anyone respect my views" card even though they force people to watch the show and "join the herd" Also I dislike the blind worship this series gets just because Lauren Faust was part of the creative team as well as the fondness some of the more obsessed fans have in insulting anything that is not to do with MLP. I tried to watch a few episodes but I could not do it.

I'm sorry if I upset anyone but I cannot like a series that drives some people into a fanatical zeal and drive them to strongarm people into liking it without consideration for their feelings.

That...Doesn't make any sense.
Look at any and, literally, every fandom. Ever.
Honestly. I feel no need to give an example because every fandom has them. The only difference is that MLP is the most popular of them.

Your generalization can be applied to any other series with a fanbase behind it. Just because ponies are more prevalent doesn't make them the only ones to do that.

Also, you're basing your opinion on a show based on the actions of the fans. Don't take this on an insult, but that's a stupid thing to do. It's one thing to not like a show because you think it's not a good show. It's another to not like a show because you don't want to like it.

I understand that every fandom has its darkside but I've argued with a lot of bad MLP fans over at YouTube with my galvatronic2 account. It's not that I think it's a bad show, it's just that all the Pony items that pop up frequency as well as some of the things I've read the fans write, IE "All other cartoons are terrible", "If you don't like it you're sexist" that sort of things grinds my gears. I like a lot of things that are consided girly like the PreCure series, Sailor Moon and Winkx, but I cannot find common ground with this series no matter how hard I try. I bear no ill will towards the fans who respect the feelings of others, it's just that I feel smothered by the ruder fans.

Look I understand that Lauren wants to get rid of the sexist stereotypes reguarding televison and I respect that she's trying her best, but my encounters with the darker side of the MLP fanbase have left a sour taste in my mouth.

I've always thought of myself as a tolerate person and pushy fans have never pushed my buttons quite like this before. I guess I'll never be a fan of this series and I'm OK with that. I just don't want to viewed as a outsider because I have had bad experiences with bad fans.

Also no offense but I watched a few episodes and I was kinda bored plus I couldn't really find a character to identify with. It's just not my cup of tea.
