I bought a Fluttershy pony today, 2 blind bags, and I got glittery Raspberry Gala and Trixie. I also got a cutiepop doll!
I envy your Fluttershy! I'm so buying one on ebay and your plushes! They aren't sold anywhere I live!
I am going to order that fashion pony fluttershy and PVC figure this weekend along with fashion rarity.
My list: - Bows - 2 pairs of knee highs - New pencils - A new drawing notebook - Replacement crayons - Moon pajama bottoms ... pretty boring stuff.

Yes! Yes it is. I bought it at Ghibli Studios while I was in Japan a few years back. Which one? The glittery one, the glow in the dark one, or the metallic one?
That's a fake. It looked like a Rarity recolor. It doesn't count. -- Sent from my Palm Pre using Forums
I wish they made beanie babies for ponies, but as of now I just can't seem to fulfill my lust for buying cards. I think I'll probably be happy once I buy an entire box and then just buy the one's I need for a complete collection off of ebay or something.
I'm jealous. Gods, I would love to visit Ghibli Studios. And that catbus is adorable. I love that movie. *Fanboy squeal*
Ghibli has made some of the most wonderful pieces of Japanese animation I've ever seen. Well, my recommendations would be: - My Neighbor Totoro (It's widely regarded as a classic children's movie. A family moves out to the Japanese countryside for a change of pace when the mother falls ill with some unnamed affliction, and the family's two children, Mei and Satsuki, meet a number of mythical spirits and befriend the Totoro, a magical creature who can only be seen by children) - Grave of the Fireflies (One of the saddest movies ever made. Seriously, sad movies usually leave me relatively unaffected, and I cried all day after I first saw this. It's a very beautifully directed movie, though, and a potent exploration of the effects of war on its true victims- the innocent children who must suffer for the sins of their elders. The movie is set during WW2, and opens with a firebombing raid on the city of Kobe. The city burns, of course, and Seita, a 14 year old boy manages to escape with his 4 year old sister Setsuko. The rest of the movie observes them as they try to survive, but a combination of immaturity and pride on Seita's part and thoughtlessness on the part of his extended family leaves the two trying to make it on their own out in the countryside, which... doesn't work. No spoilers, really. You know from the very beginning of the film that the children are doomed. This is the only top tier Ghibli movie, in my estimation, that wasn't directed by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki, but rather by his colleague, Isao Takahata, who adapted the story from an autobiographical work) - Kiki's Delivery Service (More of a family movie. The story follows a preteen witch named Kiki who has to go out into the world and find her place. The movie follows her as she takes the first tenuous steps toward establishing an independent life for herself. The movie gets its name from the fact that she earns her keep by starting a delivery service, taking advantage of her ability to fly on broomsticks) - Princess Mononoke (More of a film for adults. This movie is a mature exploration of many of the ideas that have come to define Miyazaki's work. The biggest is Man vs. Nature, broadly speaking, but more specifically what the place of humans in the biosphere is, and what compromises reasonably should be made for the welfare of both. The story is like something out of an ancient legend, and follows a man named A****aka, who is cursed after he defends his village from the assault of a ravenous boar god. He sets off to find a cure to his affliction, and eventually becomes involved in a titanic struggle between Iron Town, a human settlement deep in the forest that is plundering the local environment to provide for their livelihood, and the animal gods in that forest that are attacking the humans to stop the destruction of their home. It's surprisingly violent, as when one warrior in the film gets his arms dismembered by an arrow, but it is a real gem, and supremely thoughtful film) They've made many other wonderful films, but if I had to choose only 4 of them, these would be the picks. Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies are also regarded as two of the greatest animated films ever made by Roger Ebert, one of the few serious Western critics who has been open to Japanese animation since before the anime boom in the U.S.
