After watching cool videos of YouTubers making awesome MLPs, I was super excited to get this set and try it out for myself. This set came with a lot of accessories. 4 pony molds, 1 book mold, 1 accessories mold plate and 9 tubs of play doh. Each of the pony molds also had 2 stamps on the bottom to make cutie marks. Plenty to make lots of little ponies! Although with 4 pony molds, I thought it would've been nice to include a 4th large tub to make 4 ponies at once instead of just 3.
The hardest part for me was filling out the eyes in the mold. It's hard to get that tiny lump of play doh into the exact spot. Especially that spot of white in the middle of the eye. I think next time I might just do the eye after molding the pony.
The hair was also a little tough. The extruder generated very nice stands of hair, but all the segments were connected and I had to cut it to separate them. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
My favorite part of this set is the book mold, there is something satisfying about filling up a mold with lumps of play-doh, close it, squish, and then open to reveal a beautifully formed pony.
I purchased mine from Kohls, but you can get yours at Amazon
Take a look at my ponies and let me know if you want to see me build more!
