It's Toy Time Tuesday! With...Breyer Paddock Pals Glitter Unicorns! The Paddock Pals continue with an all new type of unicorn: The whole thing has glitter in it this time. Notice that the color seems to be primarily provided by the glitter itself and not the plastic for the bodies. This is also the first time that babies have appeared on the wave of models. Here again are symbols too, like My Little Ponies, which is a nice touch though they are only on one side. The characters are Ocean who has sea shells, Skyla with clouds, Petal with flowers, Wisp with butterflies and Shyne with 'sparkles' shapes. You can notice right away that it sure looks like they are mother/child pairs with very similar colors and 'matching' theme symbols like butterflies/flowers and clouds/sparkles. This adds diversity to the set and is a fun touch. The babies are sold together with each other--and they seem to be uncommon. Like the previous couple of sets, these also come with a sticker sheet enclosed in the box-back. It has related symbols, and tiny photos of the horses themselves as the stickers. But look at that box back photo, especially for Wisp & Shyne! What dismal colors! Who was set to color-correct that one...they sure didn't! That is a totally un-retouched photo of the box back so you can compare it to what you really get. The bottom line: Buy these! They are only 5 dollars each at 5 Below (online too! infinite supply till they run out!) More large size and quality unicorns with fantasy glitter and pony symbols, you're not going wrong with this gang. Hopefully they add new poses in the future for the PP of every sort, and the babies are a good first step. Really liking their plastic experimentation as well.
