Ranbow Dash Fail Hair

so the 'toys r us' section for MLP bear where i live is crap
its mostly the playsets, electronic flashing talking toys and a giant pink princess celestia plastic toy
i'll admit even though im 21, still a big kid who buys toys i like the look of when i pass them
but even by those standards, i've outgrown the types of toys i listed above
figures are great cuz you can keep them on your computer desk, playsets are too large and chunky
over the years i've come to understand why parents dislike battery-powered plastic toys, they become more annoying than fun
and i find smaller toys are more fun than big ones...plus a PINK celestia, what the hell were they thinking?
toyrs r us only has like 2 figures, and their just recolours of other characters, worst of all their not even from the show, not even as pointless background characters
the section in sainburies is better than one on toys r us, they had more figures
at one point tescos closed down for a week for remodelling, restocking, and clearing out the things that weren't selling
when i came back, wow it was different, particularly since i do most my shopping at tescos
i looked around the toys section and they had a much larger MLP section than they did before
i came across rainbow dash in the shop, saying no proved to be hard...than again saying yes was a bit as well since the toy made her short her look like a ponytail...no pun intended
so i went through the 'the packaging makes it look girlie, so i'll look at the other girl toys to remind myself it could be worse to bring myself to buy it (whilst trying to hold in some laughs at the really girlie ones)' phase before i got it

she's my favourite main characters in the series
i find her ironic, she's the most tomboyish of the main group and yet she had rainbow hair XD
sadly that causes most fans to label her as gay above all the others (dipite shipping to be equal amongst them all), but then again considering the wide range of fans this is to be expected, it annoys me but i ignore it, just like what i do with ther 'wriggle's a boy and is in love with yuka' part of the touhou fandom, still, poor dash, poor wriggle
....anyway for more fun, the most tomboyish member of the group even has her girlish moments (just how the most gentle member has her own badass moments), i just love that fangirl squeal she had in the season 1 finale X3
Plus she’s the one whose quickest to resort to violence in the seires as well, gotta respect that
I mean she kicked a dragon right in the face….granted that proved to be a mistake soon afterwards since it was literally a case of ‘waking a sleeping giant’, but still, that takes guts
And she got all fisty-cups when encountering discord alone
I find her a bit of a show-off at times, which makes her a bit of a hypercritic for complaining at trixie for the same reason
But still, I say her sense of loyalty makes up for that
I mean in the episode where she was after the best pet, she choose the one that saved her from being trapped under a rock over the coolest pet, considering since a turtle goes against everything that she said she wanted in a pet throughout the episode (e.g. cool, fast, can fly), that is loyalty

So yea anyway, the figure was so dam hard to get out the box
The hair and tail were held in with sellotape…seriously…are they trying to make it hard to get out he packaging in one piece?
When I finally did needless to say she needed a haircut
It was hard to do since messing it up meant getting another one since toy hair doesn’t grow back
It was going through things like this that made me wonder ‘if this what it’s like for girls growing up’
I mean when i growing up, the seires was crap and generally no girl-targeted toys appealed to me so I grew up playing action figures
Man I got flashbacks of playing with my Hercules action figures, I rewatched the film recently, and I thought “dam I made out the personalities so one-dimensional in comparison to the actual film”, I guess it was because I only cared for the monsters rather than the main characters
So yea, I wondered whilst I was playing with ‘good vs evil, good always wins’ toys, were girls putting up with how complicated fiddling with the dam hair on those toys?
But in the end I cut the hair to roughly the right length
I came across something on the net that says if you put the hair under hot water, it makes it easier to get the mess into tidy hair which you can do whatever with, this made cutting it easier
I tried to use the same method to get the hair to saty down, but it keeps shooting up like a Mohawk
bah, im no cosmetologist
...at least it's not as bad as pinkie's hair
I haven’t cut the tail yet cuz since it was equal length to the original hair, I find it an assuming reminder of such, I’ll probably cut it short one day

and remember folks
its not a sign of sissiness to have a my little pony figure (it probably is for the playsets....depending on age possibly)
it would have been 10 years ago when the only tv shows it had were as girlie as girlie can be and was solely made to sell toys
but then one day, a woman named Lauren Faust walked in and dared a crazy idea, a show targeted at young girls that boys could watch without feeling the need to vomit, and really work hard on it
it was indeed a crazy idea....and it worked, now kids, teenagers and even adults of both genders enjoy this new series

REAL MEN SHOW THEIR MY LITTLE PONY FIGURES WITH PRIDE
...i show mine with embarrassment, i have yet to fully be a man
