REVIEW: Wild Manes HALLEY

 
Jakks got a little crazy with their newest Wild Manes character and it certainly isn't because they're enby. It's because you can only buy Halley directly from their website and FedEx, the only shipping option, costs more than the price of the toy! 

Did I pay it anyway because I desperately wanted this black, astronomy-themed horse?

Yes. Yes, I did. 

Back of the box. 

Note the they pronouns.

Good for you, Jakks. 

Here are the cart and all the accessory pieces. 

The obvious best accessory. 

They are STUNNING. 

Shipping was so worth it. 

Yep, worth it. 

I don't have a set place for these yet, so they're in limbo with some of my other lines. But these are the five Wild Manes that I own. Halley is definitely my new fave.

REVIEW: Wild Manes Lana & Sundae

Lana! Finally, my favorite of the Wild Manes. 

I've only seen the sets in this price range on Walmart.com, and sadly, one of them is mispriced, so I'm not ordering it. I hope to see it in store so I can pay the right price. 

These slightly more deluxe sets are $12.94. The mispriced one (Zoey with her pretzels) is the $21.94 of the next size bigger, which is like Cocoa's set that I've already reviewed. They're ones that come with a playset piece, whereas these only have a bunch of accessories.  

Lana's art. I'm glad the toys don't have shoes. 

Her donut-themed accessories. 

Lana is the darkest of the current lineup. I wish they'd do black, but she's currently the closest to it. She's a darker brown.

Love her color scheme. 

The manes and tails are very nice. 

Lana with her donut mug. 

Sundae is another one of the slightly more deluxe sets. 

Now with her, I wish she did have the accessories in her art. The hat especially. 

I love her ice cream stuff, but the record player is also amazing. The arm moves and you can change out the records. Nice detail! 

She's a beautiful Neapolitan color scheme. 

Gorgeous. 

I decided I wanted her serving ice cream, but I also loved the big sundae, so I gave that to Lana. 

Love these two! I hope I can add Zoey soon.

REVIEW: Wild Manes Cocoa's Bakery Cafe

Jakks has a new horse line out called Wild Manes. these horses are roughly G1 MLP size. Definitely bigger than G2, G3 and G4. I should have just taken a size photo, but oh, well. 

There are several different types of set: basic ponies, ones with slightly more accessories, ones like this with playsets, and ones with much larger playsets. This set cost $21.99 at Target. 

The art is quite cute. 

So Cocoa comes with a lot of stuff. 

I didn't take separate pictures, but she has two fabric pieces: a scarf and I guess I'd call it a work uniform blanket.  

Then she has a brush, a barrette, a toy pony, and two pieces that can clip to her legs so she can "hold" items. Almost all the items have a hole on the bottom so they can fit on those pegs. 

The cart is nicely made. 

Accessories here are a mug, a coffee cup, a smoothie, a plate with a croissant, tongs, and a dessert tray. The food items are all molded into place, not separate. 

The back can hold items not being used. 

She attaches to the cart easily. 

All of her legs are poseable, but only the front left has the lower joints. 

Her mane and tail are quite nice. 

I prefer her without the scarf so you can see her bangs (forelock?) better.

 

She's a little tippy. 

This is definitely a cute set. Child me would have played with this for hours with my other pony toys. 

I will be buying more, but not too many. My main criticism for this line is that almost all the horses are some shade of brown. There are two white and one dark gray, but otherwise, everyone is brown. Cocoa is my favorite of the brown ones, though I do also like Sundae and Zoey. Dark gray Lana is my favorite overall. I haven't seen any of those three sets available anywhere yet, so I hope they get made.
