PLUSH THOUGHTS
This Rainbow Dash is an older plush, but she is a very special one too. Rainbow is one of three plushies I picked up second-hoof from LittleshyFiM. This plush used to be amongst the biggest he owned. She, along with the other Black Water plushies, feature in the background of multiple old Littleshy videos. However, he now has three lifesize plushies, so he made the decision to part with his old, smaller Black Water plushies. I ended up with three of four of them. You can see me "unboxing" them for the first time in his Ponyville Ciderfest 2024 vlog where he delivered them to me. I'm honored that I was entrusted to keep these special mares in my collection. They are well-loved to this day.

Black Water plushies may not necessarily be the best "lookers" (especially the older ones). However, don't be deceived. Dashie is still a very cuddly pone. Black Water managed to crack the code of plushies that are excellent to cuddle. This is mostly due to the size of the front hooves being oversized and the way the head flops down when not propped up by her hooves. Black Water plushies are also generally on the less expensive side, making them a fantastic option on a tighter budget.

Rainbow Dash is also shown here wearing blue striped socks. These did not come from Black Water but were (presumably) purchased from NK Plush's now-defunct pony plush sock store.
