my little hyperfixation

This toy has variants between accessories. I believe everything but the oven and hat can be green, white or pink.

There's so many details on the cookies and cupcakes. The oven is truly charming and toyetic- It's reminiscent of Play Along Care Bears and distinct from the later Lalaloopsy Minis and LPS accessories. The cupcakes are frosted and sprinkled but the sprinkles are not painted. It can give the impression they may need to bake or perhaps are already done and need eating. Which Cheerilee can do. That greedy hog. She won't fucking share. The cookie tray fits comfortably in the oven.

A shot of everything you get with Cheerilee.

I'm over all, thoroughly impressed. Ponyville has a great attention to detail, and the accessory's quality holds up well, although the cheapness of plastic is impossible to escape. I would love this in different materials, fabric, metal and wood- but I also don't want to spend an arm and a leg on toys. Cheerilee notably feels better to hold than her accessories, very good thing in my opinion. So I'm very happy with it as is. I'm excited to display her when my shelves start to clear up. For the price point (I estimate about 5 or so in 2008, a little over 7 USD today in 2026) She would have been well worth the purchase. I got her as part of a lot with other pony accessories, I would say I paid more for her over all than on retail, closer to about 15 USD in 2023 or so. Again around the 10-20 dollar for a NIB I think is acceptable considering its age. Would not pay more than that out of box. I actually can't remember how long ago I got her but it was after covid pfft

Cheerilee...please take your head out of the oven...

Ratings:

Design: 10/10, colors are fantastic and handsome together. Cheerilee herself is beautiful with multicolor hair and nice paint applications. Plastic and sculpting is friendly and inviting.

Creativity: 4/10, generic food theme with both an outdated and safe color way of vibrant hot colors and neons. She's quite beautiful but in 2008 she was dated. In retrospect she's quite appealing and reminiscent of the earlier 2000s, which tried to hark further back to the 60s and 70s. She is mod, she is pretty. Food themes are welcome but I can only give a few points in a toyline so ripe with food options. I have not reviewed or owned any other ponyville toy set, but the year prior there were plenty of toys with food in it and with kitchens. Cheerilee offers an additional oven and kitchen accessories on a budget rather than a new set of house accessories. Cheerilee herself is released a few times it seems in this pose.

Ponyness: 9/10 of course my little pony bakes cookies and cupcakes and has a special hat to bake in. I cannot however brush and comb her hair.
