Which manestyle do you prefer for Shining Armor?

[ggg-2 3,553]

I personally dislike Shining Armor's new crystal pony manestyle in The Crystalling. Given his laid-back personality, it just doesn't fit him imho.

Do you have a before/after picture for reference? 

[Scootalove 10,689]

The normal mane style he has is fine by me, either style is okay.

I had to look myself because I didn't notice either, but his manestyle in his crystal pony form has changed. 

 

Here it is in "The Crystal Empire" 

 

And in "The Crystalling" 

 

 

I personally prefer its original look. I suppose the new look is more kingly and formal, but like the OP said, the original look is more laid back and more in tune with Shining's personality.

I like the new one. It's kind of rockabilly, a style which I'm really drawn to. If he were to keep that look, I'd be okay with it.

Thanks.

Well, everyone has their own opinion, but like i said it just doesn't fit his personality, to me.

The original to me is far better. Shining Armor just seems a lot more playful than he looks on the surface and his regular mane style matches that more. The newer style is definitely...interesting, but not too appealing to me.

Definitely the old one looks better

The new one doesn't fit him at all and really doesn't look very nice.

[Widdershins 9,960]

Woof! No! 

 That’s a pompadour there! Does not fit at all with his facial structure! Pompadours really only work on punks that are daring you to call them out on it & rich, snobby government elites.

 But personally I get a very Gaspen Payne vibe with that!

Bit of trivia for you: R63 Shining's name tends to be "Gleaming Shield."
