It's been awhile since I added to this blog. I do have a new 'Magic Touch' Pony to share, but I've been lazy/distracted/busy about posting her. So here she is, the 4th and last of the 'Magic Heart' line: Mariah. As always, info is pulled from  A Guide To MGA's Magic Touch Ponies on Crystalline Toybox.

Mariah

“Mariah Magic Heart has a mystical gift. She can look inside your heart and see your secret wishes! But she needs your help to activate her powers. Every time you brush her silky mane, her heart light shines, releasing her magic. Tell her the secrets of your heart, and together you can make dreams come true!“

I found this one still in her box for a reasonable price online (photo 1). The box also came with info on her, with you can see in the pics above (2 and 3). I didn't keep her in the box, as it takes up a lot of space and it seemed weird to keep her in the box when the rest are out and on my shelf. Pic 4 is what her and her brush look like out of the box, and the 5th and last pic is an attempt to show her lighting up. They aren't great photos as I take them with my photo, but they are at least readable. I'm up to 10 of these toys now, so halfway there, not including a pair of mail-order only ones I'll probably never be able to get.

As for her condition, being fresh out of the box she's in very good condition. What surprises me more is that her batteries still work, which makes me happy. This 'Magic Heart' pony seemed extra hard to find, but I was about to complete this set once i did. I think part of the problem of finding her was that she looks a lot like Carmelia, who has very similar colors. Their hip marks (not sure what the actual name is, but they aren't cutie marks) are also the same color, though Carmelia has stylized hearts/presumably heart-shapes bugs, and Mariah here has keys and heart-shaped lockets the keys would fit into. They do have different poses though, so there is at least some distinction. I love the colors of this pony, but I do wish they had used a little more variety with color than they did.

Since Mariah here is the last of the 4 'Magic Hearts' ponies, here are all of them together.
