Princess Twilight Sparkle Crystal Princess Celebration Fashion Style Pony
Princess Twilight Sparkle Crystal Princess Celebration Fashion Style Pony
So right now I'm in my hotel in Finland, and of course a new country means hunting for some nice merch. I came across this Fashion Style Twilight, she's quite "old" already but I've never seen her were I live, and as a Twilight fan I decided to pick her up.

This Twilight is part of the Crystal Princess Celebration Fashion style line wich also includes a Fashion Style Princess Cadance, I didn't pick her up because I'm not a big fan of Cadance to be honest.

The Backcard
The backcard says: Princess Twilight Sparkle always has the perfect purse! That's right, our princess goes around with about 3 bags. Actually it seems like these Fashion Styles both have an accessory theme. For example, the Princess Cadance of this set focusses on footwear while Twilight focusses on bags and purses.

Out of the box! She comes with:
  • Princess Twilight Sparkle herself
  • A fabric dress
  • A comb
  • 3 bags/purses
  • 4 jewels
First lets talk about Princess Twilight herself, she has just her normal Brushable colours and just the standard unicorn head mold. The body and head color are a good match. Now the bad thing are the wings, instead of Princess Twilight Sparkle's wing design they picked the one from the pevious Pegasus molds (Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy). The other princesses from the older set also suffered from this. The mold looks decent with all the feathers, but I think they are too large and styling the hair properly can be a problem. But with the newer Rainbow Power Fluttershy Fashion Style, it seems like Hasbro also had taken notice of this. Or not, because a newly shown Rainbow Dash Fashion style just has the old wing molds.

Another thing that I dont like about the wings is that the colors are totally off in comparison with her body colour. They really look like slapped on. I rather saw that they did a nice gradient or just picker the right color, but this looks a bit poor sadly...

So, lets talk about the piece of clothing she comes with. Its a yellow dress with a cute pink star pattern, its really simple and it just wraps around her wings. Im not too fond of the color they picked and the dress looks kinda boring in my opinion, the dress is just made really simple. I would have preffered a dark blue dress like her gala outfit. Maybe with some silver/golden stars and a cute trimmed edge. However there's one thing I think looks kinda cute and thats the star shaped button/emblem at her neck.

Twilight also comes, just like told before, with 3 cute purses/bags. A handbag, a purse and a suitcase. All of them have little holes inside of them where you can put a jewel in. So you can customise the bag with different jewels. Some of the bags can open and close to store perhaps some more jewels in. I like the "decorate" your bag thingie. They are also doing it with the normal playset for the playful ponies.

Overal I'm happy that I purchased her. I didn't had a Fashion Style Twilight until now and even with her flaws I still love her and she will have a great place in my cabinet. So are you a fan of Twilight and don't you have a Fashion Style Pony yet? Then go get her! However if you do have the one where's she's just an unicorn you might skip this one, the extra accesoires and the wings aren't worth it. Unless you are a Twilight Collector of course!
