Do you like the tinsel or don't you? Personally, I thrive off of it. I do my best to keep it nice and soft - crinkly tinsel is the devil! I know some people yank it all out, but not this pony! What's your opinion?


I tried to find the poll option but couldn't.

I love it! Ponies with tinsel look more regal or something *giggles*

Agree. I mean, I love the SHS series, but the GLITTERY SHS series was just that much cooler. :p
 
I like tinsel, and depending on what kind of tinsel, I can easily flatten it back out. So the crinkly tinsel doesn't bother me.

What kind and how? :shock:

Well you know that a curling iron on low will defrizz pony hair right? Well...if you separate out all the tinsel strands from the wet hair and put the iron on high and run them through, it will kinda melt them back to being straight. But it only works on the old kind of tinsel with the metallic colors. I think because the older tinsel is a thicker millimeter thickness than the new G3 tinsel. So it won't work on that transparent stuff, It will really melt that.

You'll have to gauge how long to have the tinsel on the iron and how hard you have to pull on the tension to get it back to what it's supposed to be. Some strands may be stretch out a little thinner that they used to be, but it looks a whole lot better than the tinsel being a crinkly blob halfway up the mane, lol.

yes indeedy. I like it. I think PBnG Glittering Gem was the only one I had as a kid with tinsel, and I always thought it made her very special. Didn't know she was a princess, lol..
 
I yank the tinsel out of most of my g3's.

I really don't like it. It's a mess.
 
Oh yes Minty's Mommy I agree about Princess Tiffany! I went through three of them 'til I bought one off of a girl on the TP that was in prime shape! That is my BIGGEST peeve on the princess ponies! Tinsel and their little symbols losing their colour!
 
Translucent tinsel - Boo (xayide2 - I hate the way it melts too!)
Regular tinsel - Yahhhh It flattens right out with strengtheners
 
= )

I like it :)
 
Tinsel is awesome, man. I try to tame mine.

Sometimes I really dislike it, though. *stares at Waterfire* TT...

Royal ponies have tinsel~! X3
 
I like it in Kimono's hair, but otherwise don't like it . . . it seems to crinkle up on me with the least provocation and I'm always fretting about it.

But I have so many ponies that I haven't detinseled, too. *sigh* I've only detinseled Aloha Pearl and Minty . . . Wait, did Minty start out with tinsel? *can't remember*

Yeah, Kimono's is really pretty. X3

And yes, Minty had tinsel. ^^
 
I like tinsel, personally. But I also don't like tinsel.. :lol: I wouldn't cut tinsel out of a ponies hair, but sometimes it really does get in the way when you're trying to brush the hair out or what have you.

Think if G1 Candy Cane ponies (or Perfume ponies!) had tinsel.. :shock:
 
I like tinsel when it adds to the pony. I dislike it when it's all matted and gross, like on an old g1, but fresh out of the package is pretty to me :)

God, no. :shock: I hate the PPP hair!

I once got a pony (don´t remember wich one now) its tinsel was so bad I never managed to get it untangled :(
