A few days ago I had written on the Kenner LPS forum about my sad "mint" Royal Carriage Ponies mishap. I don't want to totally rehash the disappointment, other than to say that it was not mint and was missing a bunch of pieces. BUT! Today I received in the mail an eBay find that I immediately snatched up-the pink saddle blanket! I was also thrilled to find that the mini lot also came with the aqua carriage harness, since my box came with the magenta! So now I have a variant, yay! In case anyone is curious, the aqua harness appears to be the same as the one from the Royal Palace Ponies (a set that I could write a whole topic about since I find it very curious).
They both appear to be in very good condition which is always nice since you just never know with eBay… This means that I am soooo close to completing this much coveted set! I would also like to add how absolutely beautiful I find the ponies from the set to be. Their colors are simply stunning, and I find myself transported into a lovely medieval fantasy land every time I look at them.
Oh gosh, that is SO exciting! The situation with your -alleged- "MIB" ponies was a travesty, but I'm excited to see you piecing things together. :) And yes, a whole post on the Royal Palace Ponies would be warranted, since it's such a curious little mish-mash - we'll have to take some more comparison photos with all three of those pony sets.
ReplyDeleteI agree...those ponies really are stunning, and their hair is so lovely. It's wonderful that they have that ability to transport us and spark our imaginations! :)
