DC Super Hero Girls Katana Custom Tutorial

The new DC Super Hero Girls show features 7 main characters including Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Katana, and Bumblebee. 6 dolls were recently released with Katana missing from the lineup. I will customize my own Katana doll today using a My Little Pony Equestria Girl mini Fluttershy.

Until Mattel releases their version of the DC Super Hero Girls Katana doll, I suppose mine would be the first :)

Gather your supplies. Paint brushes of various sizes, acrylic paint, Mod Podge.

Start by first removing the head from the body. Firmly grasp the head and body in each hand and give a tug, the head should pop off.

Paint the hair. Wait for the pant to dry between coats.

Paint the face. If you want to keep the eyes and lips, carefully go around the areas with a fine tipped brush. Touch up sections you covered with a bit of paint that matches the original color. If you want to redraw the face, paint the entire face then repaint the eyes and mouth with a fine tipped brush.

To paint the body, remove the skirt. Paint with acrylic paint, letting each layer dry before adding a new layer. Paint the skirt to match your design.

Seal and set the paint with a layer of Modge Podge. Let all the pieces dry.

Put the head and skirt piece back on.

Done. You have a beautiful new custom doll.

My Little Pony Equestria Girls Minis

Hasbro recently came out with a series of My Little Pony Equestria Girls Minis. Each of the Mane 6 comes in a single pack. There is also a set of dolls and accessories under the theme Slumber Party.

These dolls have hard rubber hair and bodies, their skirts are softer rubber and detachable. The arms, legs are articulated. These dolls are very top heavy due to their large heads so they will not stand on their own.

Below are the dolls release do far. You can find them at Target, ToysRUs and Amazon.

Fluttershy Slumber Party Set - My Little Pony Equestria Girls Minis

Today we are unboxing and reviewing the brand new MLP Equestria Girls Minis dolls. Yes, Equestria girls are now in mini sizes. They are about half the size of a regular Equestria Girl doll. If you like the Shopkins Shoppies dolls, these new MLP EG mini dolls are around the same size.

The Equestria Girls minis are a new line of MLP toys and I was able to find them only on Amazon so far. I think they should be sold at Target, Walmart, and Babies R Us in the very near future.

The set we are reviewing is the Fluttershy Slumber Party set, it comes with one super cute equestria girl  Fluttershy and a ton of accessories including cookies, strawberry, a raccoon teddy, presents, eyepatch, purse and a rabbit.

Fluttershy Equestria Girl Mini

Fluttershy Equestria Girl Mini is about 4.5 inches or 12 cm tall.  Her hair is solid and her elbow, hips, knees, and even her hair are articulated. Because of her solid hair, she is very top heavy which makes her really hard to pose. I think she would need a doll stand in order to be posed.

2015 McDonalds My Little Pony and MLP Equestria Girls & Transformers

Once again McDonalds has a great set of toys out, the My Little Pony and MLP Equestria Girls (girls toys) and  Transformers (boys toys). I'm not sure why they continue to call them girls or boys since most parents of young kids know that boys and girls like all toys. My girls are still too young to watch Transformers yet but they love their dinosaur and car toys as much as their doll toys.

Anyhow, the My Little Pony (MLP) set is super cute. The set includes both the pony and the doll version of Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Pinky Pie. Super fun to have both sets to play with. I'm also glad they had Applejack even if it means leaving out Rainbow Dash and Rarity.

The Transformer toys are super cool too. There are 4 of each from the Autobots and the Decepticons. The set includes Optius Prime, Bumblebee, Fixit, Fracture, Sideswipe, Clampdown, Underbite, and Grimlock.

One toy comes with each Happy Meal, but you can ask to purchase the other ones separately. Check out the videos to see them!

My Little Pony Play-Doh Rainbow Dash Style Salon

The My Little Pony Play-Doh Rainbow Dash Style Salon is one of my favorite Play-doh sets. I don't know what it is with MLP and Play-doh, but they just go so well together.

This set is especially nice because there are no extra parts. Everything, all the molds, extruder, and fillers are built right into Rainbow Dash.

You can color Rainbow Dash's mane and tail with pieces of colorful playdoh. Make cute decorations from the molds on her body and legs.

Then with the extruder built right into her head, you can give her a long gorgeous mane.

Rainbow Dash is pretty big, so very easy for little hands to handle. And the set comes with 6 tubs of Playdoh! One for each color in Rainbow Dash's hair!

I can't recommend this set enough for kids who love ponies and playdoh :)

You can find it in most major retailers or online at Amazon.

My Little Pony Series 2 Fashems

Fashems, fash'ems, mashems, mash'ems are cute and squishy rubber/plastic toys. They are made as collectable figures for a number of popular characters including My Little Pony, Disney Frozen, Disney Princess, Doc McStuffin, Hello Kitty, Littlest Pet Shop, Sofia the First, Ninja Turtles, Marvel, Disney Pixar, Disney Planes Fire & Rescue, Disney Planes, Angry Birds, Flappy Bird, Marvel Avengers, Transformers, Furby and WWE.

You can get them in sets or individual surprise capsules. I've found that they're super hard to find in regular stores and much easier on Amazon or on eBay. In the stores, either they get snatched up the moment they hit the stores or I'm just not looking at the right places.

I got some My Little Pony Fash'ems and after opening two of them I was hooked. I wanted to collect the other 4 ponies in the set. So I got 7 more Fashems, thinking those were good odds to get the 4 to complete my set. Unfortunately I was only able to get all the ponies but one! Darn, now I'm on the hunt for the last one!

Watch the video to find out which one I'm missing!

Play-Doh My Little Pony Cutie Mark Creators

The Play-Doh My Little Pony Cutie Mark Creators set by Hasbro is a fun set to take along on trips. The set comes with 2 ponies, Pinkie Pie and Princess Twilight Sparkle, 2 stamping options, and 4 small tubs of Play-Doh.

For younger kids, I recommend that they just fill in the areas on the pony to give them colorful manes and tails. Simply take the playdoh and fill in the space.

For older kids, they can use the pony as molds to create then swap the play-doh on opposite sides of the ponies to show the designs. Take the playdoh and fill in the space on both sides. Then using a larger piece of play-doh, remove the play-doh in the spaces. Flip the play-doh and put it back into the space on the opposite side of the pony. Now you can see the design!

Either way is fun and you get to customize the colors of the ponies!

I got mine at Amazon, but you can find it at almost any large toy or department store.

Watch the video below to see how it works!

Play-Doh My Little Pony Make 'N Style Ponies

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!
