The Great and Powerful Unboxing #4

Unboxing time! I actually got this one a few days ago, but I've been so busy with everything else, I haven't had time to really sit down and create this.

I'm still surprised people like these so much, but I won't complain...even if they do tend to take over my science section on Youtube...

More after the break!




I tore off the cover paper thing.  I didn't even know boxes came with cover paper things.  Is there a name for cover paper things?  Well regardless, on with the unboxing!


Unlike the last few parcels, this one actually required a "box cutter" for the tape; "box cutter" meaning my car keys.  I actually snapped a key a while back opening something, but excitement drove me to grab the nearest sharp object I could find.  Luckily the tape slicing process went smoothly, and inside the box was a big pile of newspaper!

Looking back when I took these pictures, I think pulling the paper out and reading an article would have been interesting.  Sadly it is 3 days later and any non-bubble wrap packaging material has long since taken a trip to the recycling bin.  I could have cheated and busted out today's news, but that wouldn't be anywhere near as fun now would it?

The blue thing poking out had me in an OPEN NOW daze anyway.


Once again, this smug ass unicorn has snuck into my room.  Someone actually asked me why I use "smug" so much.  I checked thesaurus.com out for other words that could take it's place, but nothing really matches the Great and Powerful Trixie's facial expressions quite like the word smug.

After some quick hair brushing, and discovering the hat at the bottom of the box, the Great and Powerful Trixie returns to her gloriously obnoxious self!


So uh.... Trixie shrine?  Yep... (Minus the bubble gum sculpture)


And with flash on since my cell phone camera doesn't really do my Great and Powerful collection justice! (That Trixie plot shirt was totally sent to me, I swear I didn't do it! Even If It's awesome anyway...)

Thanks to Brainbread for the plushie! A quick glance at their Ebay account that I randomly check for plushie posts reveals a Pinkamena Diane Pie with less than 37 minutes left for those that like that crazy pie thing!

Altercation said...

Man, if the world operated anything like Toy Story, your place sure as hell be interesting. It'd be a competition among Trixies to see who is the Trixiest out of every Trixie.

Apocalyptic said...

You are a lucky,lucky pony Seth. :D

Fritz X said...

Pfff, you unboxed something that doesn't have an unusual particle effect? Totally worthless, I'd trade it for 2 refined.

Nice plushie, for real. And an even nice shrine... :D

Dragonsrules77 said...

The candles add a tranquil feeling to the atmosphere.

Orchestral Design said...

Tenchi Outsuno said...

SOMEguyX64 said...

You can never have too much pony stuff.

Basharoonskis said...

Ahahahaha, oh my god Seth, that's amazing. Oh I could only dream of being man enough to create a shrine for my favorite pony.

Enrique262 said...

There are two possible outcomes when season 2 comes out: either Trixie comes back, or she doesn't, and I'm more concerned for Seth if the first one comes true, I mean sure, the second one is most likely, and he will probably end up hitting someone, but in the end he will recover, but if she DOES come back, damn... I'm not sure if a human being can handle a boner of that mangnitude...

Andrew said...

Congrats on the SWEET LOOT.

K9saurus said...

Trixi shrine? I totally called that when I shooped your picture from a while back with one.

Cassie Truman said...

So much Trixie... Seth, you're beginning to develop an unhealthy fixation on the girl. It's not right. Especially since we caught you outside her house with a pair of long-distance binoculars and a tub of Vaseline.

mrjoshmacintosh said...

Cool Shrine bro, show it at parties

Soda said...

Loving the Hey Arnold reference! and I'm glad somepony gets the merch they want (only slightyly bitter)

Shaico said...

You worship Trixe don't you Seth.

Though that's old news.

Brony Neumo said...

Oh goodness. I actually got that Hey Arnold reference...

I feel so old...

8ftmetalhead said...

TenchiFreak5 said...

I want a Trixie shrine. All I got is a Trixie clock.

Octavia said...

Yay, I love things in boxes! Especially when its something pony. And of course, more Trixie stuff. Who would've guessed? :P Nice Trixie plush there. I agree, smug is a great word for her. And Trixie plot shirt? Is it bad I want one too?

mrjoshmacintosh said...

@ Brony Neumo

I make that joke every time I pick on someone who has a "shrine" lol

trixie-rhabdoviridae said...

That shrine is to puny for the Great and Powerful Trixie.

Detoxicity said...

Trixie... Dat plot shirt is win

Atomsk Pony said...

. . . and then Atomsk made his first post ever on Equestria Daily. Granted he had been lurking since the Drawball battle, but he finally decided to post something. It was probably the power of the G&PT that had drawn him out.

That is some kneeeeaaat Trixie stuff. I fully appreciate the shrine. Ponies make everything better. Even boxes. ;D

ActionScripter9109 said...

@Altercation

FUND IT!
That would be the funniest fic ever.

Anon Pony With A Name said...

@Altercation
There shall soon be a fic of that just give it time...

On another note atleast now I know I'm not the only one with a pony shrine. :)

ColourSplash said...

This is just yoo funny. xD I ALMOST have a RainbowPie shrine going but...... Its just....... Three toys and a pic I drew ;_;'

PH Brony said...

I would kill for a Trixie shrine.

Ficksitup said...

Vulcan539 said...

Oh, wow. In the questions post for Q&Neigh vol. 2, I was guy that asked Sethisto why he uses the word "smug" so often. I'm not naive enough to believe I'm the only one that asked (surely some others have noticed, right?), but I like to imagine that he answered me even if it wasn't in the Q&Neigh.

MuffinShy said...

Ooh Trixie shrine
I want Luna/Flutter one in front of my bed so i can gaze away till i dream of ponies...

James Corck said...

I'd have a shrine like that for Rainbow Dash, but that might turn me into Scootaloo. And I hate Scootaloo.

I might do one for Luna.

cameronstalker said...

I will gladly worship that shrine

Sir Leadhead said...

ahh... the lack of anon pleases me. like coming into a cool, refreshing room.

nice shrine, seth. ;D
