Today's Pony Merchandise; I only bought two (2) of the Mini Tumblrs.
All merchandise pictured above is currently for sale at Hot Topic, so kudos to them for stocking MLP FIM merchandise. But WOW! Hot Topic! You need to get your prices down. Those pins are $12.50 before taxes, and the other jewelry is between $14 and $16 bucks.
Those printed tee shirts might be 20% cooler, but they are $28.99 before tax. They might have been on sale today, but I am just not a thirty dollar tee shirt person. And besides, prints that heavy don't stand up well to repeated washings, so what is it gonna do besides take up space in a drawer for 99% of the time I own it?
Eeow! Sticker shock. Anyway, I am neither a tween, nor do I wear jewelry, so I went for two (2) of the tumblrs, one (1) for me, and one (1) for my brother, who is also a brony. Applejack says it's important to share.
Indeed, the My Little Pony Character Blind Box Mini Tumblers are an interesting, slightly unorthodox product. At just three fluid ounces, they are certainly sufficient for sipping the finest, most expensive teas with Princess Celestia, while Mr. and Mrs. Cake look on with an awkward nervousness that you mistake for anxiety that you'll spill it.
You can also fill it to brim with Everclear, or any other hard liquor of your choice that is at least 100 proof. The lid is robust, clear acrylic, with a functional rubber gasket that actually works, and the straw is made of thick walled quality plastic. Three ounces is the perfect serving size for snort shots, when you want your alcohol to totally bypass the blood brain barrier. And with the Mane 6 styling, you'll be the life of every single pony party you grace with your presence. The stainless steel is solid enough to do its job, it shouldn't deform under normal use or be utterly ruined, if you happen to drop it for some reason.
Twilight and Rarity are my FAVE Mane 6isters, so I am happy to have scored a Rarity with this purchase.
