Pony Tea Party

The ponies have been socializing.

This weekend I decided to work on my pony catalogue.  I have an excel sheet, but in the last year I have largely been depending on my Flickr account as a resource for checking accessories and merchandise. I've not finished my photo catalogue, so I thought I'd do a bit of catch up on picture taking.

And then, since I'd gone to the trouble of lifting down the giant Crystal Rainbow Castle from the top of the bookcase, flipping it on its side, putting in batteries, and opening the darn thing, I figured I'd also have some fun with it.  The Unicorns are having a little open day at the castle.

This set is enormous! It's three feet tall and slightly wider, although it collapses down by quite a bit.  Actually, it's probably the last truly collapsing playset in the MLP line.  And there is a tonne of detail on the building itself in the form of sculpted design and sticker backgrounds.

The set didn't come with a lot of accessories (of course there was a tea cart - G3 ponies love their tea parties) but there were three large accessory sets you could buy separately.  I have two of them.  If memory serves me right, the third one (the bath set) was not available in stores in Canada, and I didn't like it enough to go hunting for it.

For this display I didn't develop a story line, I just set out the accessories and chose a few favourite ponies to go on the display.  Naturally the unicorns are all there, because it's their castle.
