This is a great deal for so many ponies. I don't like the look of the more recently revamped My Little Ponies, so when this style started being replaced by the odd Japanese cartoon looking ones in the store, I hurried to get my girls some with this previously updated look which is just adorable. This hat box contains a great variety of ponies (my favorite is the little unicorn, but my girls fight over the pink pony) plus hair clips and brushes. Their hair is all curled and styled and their heads turn. The hair gets messed up easily, but that just makes more fun for brushing it out and with a few strokes it looks great again. I haven't let my girls try playing with these in the water.The hat box itself is pretty flimsy. You can use it to store the toys in for a time, but it won't hold up. It's much too roomy for what comes in the box, so the ponies will just rattle around unless you store other toys with them.This was purchased for my five year old daughter, but my four and six year old sons love the ponies as well. I still remember playing with My Little Ponies as a little girl, so I'm thrilled to be able to buy some for my own kids!
