For the images of the body shell as well. Using the glowing unicorn horn to make a custom Shine Brite Luna, with BOTH glowing horn and wings. Sadly, Hasbro saw fit to make Princess Luna's wings glow, but not her horn. |

ЭЛЕКТРОНИКА B3-11 |

Noted that the battery case is overly complex. Rather than a double stack of A13 cells, it has 2 separate holders, that are wired with a yellow wire to made it function no differently than a standard double stack of cells? No clue why the complexity. It added an extra 1 mm to the already wide Shine Bright toys, and adds 2 pieces of metal, and an extra wire, with solder connections to each metal piece. This would be quite easily simplified.
Granted, the batteries are VERY easy to change. A rare case of quality in a product, where a cheaper solution was available, but not as elegant. |

THE HORROR! THE HORROR! |

LOL, you noticed some of those scootaloo scratches... Err... I mean chicken scratches on my desk. I collect vintage calculators, and among some of my favorites, are my old cold war era Soviet models. The notes are models I especially look out for or have since acquired. One of my favorites is a terribly beat up ЭЛЕКТРОНИКА 4-71Б. It works perfectly, but it looks like it went to war! Due to a rather convenient crack along an edge in the upper case, I can remove half the upper case, showing off the display tubes and power supply, and all the hand laced wiring inside it, while still operating it. The thing was hand assembled, if I'm not mistaken, and the quality is amazing. The parts look so alien compared to Japanese or Western technologies. Land of labor indeed.
I also have a pair of MC 1103 models (early programable machines that served as the precursor to modern PLC embedded industrial control systems), and an МКУ-1. The МКУ-1 was shipped from the Ukraine in an ENVELOPE. Survived the trip half way around the world just fine. 5 minutes at my home, and as I was showing it off, it gets knocked off the table. Lands on the protruding Display filter and cracks the display tube. Another month of waiting, one a replacement tube later, and a LOT of soldering, and it was restored. Tubes, metal can chips, staggered pin ceramic chips, Plastic DIP chips scaled at a weird size larger than standard western pin spacing... all combined in a machine made in 1989, at the very end of the USSR. Of course, the 1103's came in their original boxes, wrapped up in sheet foam, and shipped inside a canvas SACK! Ha! And that's just the Soviet made machines! My SCM Cogito 240SR is my prize. No chips at all. US made in 1965, and using such primitive tech it'd blow your mind. Also got a Friden EC-132, and a Wang 360SE OK, end nerd rant. Back to ponies! yay |

Finally got a spare canterlot castle set from Target for half price, thanks to after Christmas clearance sales. I now have the second Princess Luna to experiment with. I'm still tempted to buy a fluttershy though, since those are way cheap. I've yet to tear apart a Shine Brite pegasus, and that's the form factor that Princess Luna uses...
BUT IT'S FLUTTERSHY!!! ⌢⌢ʘ ʘ \ \ \ ◠ |
