This doll marks Sunset Shimmer's 'Fashion Style' debut. With the new 'Cutie Mark Magic' sub-print, the FS ponies have made the transition to all-plastic clothing, though the ponies themselves remain little-changed from the older waves.
Sunset Shimmer's body is a rich, amber-yellow--the same as her initial brushable release. Her mane comes in a nice, manageable roll, with curls throughout the tail. Her outfit is bright and bold, and oddly reminiscent of a stylized Wonderbolts uniform (at least IMO). As is often the case, Sunset's cutie mark is a central motif, and her sun-shaped earrings are nearly identical to those included with her first Equestria Girls release. Even if you're not a fan of the full outfit, these earrings, along with the necklace and barrette, look lovely as standalone pieces.
Her accessories are: top, skirt, four charms that can attach to the skirt, two earrings, goggles, a necklace, a barrette, and four boots.
The goggles ARE translucent, and her eyes are still visible when they are worn. Here she is in full bling...
Bottom line: Sunset Shimmer is a brilliant addition to the existing stable of FS ponies. ;) And with Daisy Dreams still to come, it's wonderful to see that Hasbro is expanding their line-up to include characters outside of the Mane Six and princesses. Whether or not you're a fan of her bold new ensemble, the pony beneath the bling is still well-worth the $16.99 USD.
Hello! I chanced upon your blog and loved all your toy reviews! I've always wanted to collect MLP but didn't know where to start. Especially since they've added lots of variations ><
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Sunset Shimmer! Her costume looks amazing; especially the goggles and those earrings! I love her without her get-up too ^^ The sun mark on her eye is really cool
Would you mind if I linked you on my blog? :)
