List of ponies safe/unsafe to sunfade.
« on: July 12, 2013, 01:33:57 AM »
I would like to make a list of the ponies that are safe to try and sunfade.

I know TE Quackers is inclined to sunburn but I could use your help to make a decent list of ponies. I know sunfading can always go wrong on these ponies but there are some that are in the danger zone to begin with

'Safe' to sunfade:
- Glory
- Yum yum
- IT Gusty
- Chief!
- Lemondrop,
- Baby Surprise
- baby sister Apple Delight
- Glory
- Sundance
- Bouquet
- Speed
- NBBE Cuddles

Sunburn prone:
- TE Quackers
- Starshine
- Confetti
- UK Gusty
- Chief
- Gingerbread
- Cherry treats
- Whitecap (the two white adult sea ponies)
- Night Glider (strong Australian sun = orange marks)
- Teeny tiny baby honey (strong Australian sun = orange marks)
- Star catcher (faded to the famous Australian green variant)
- Bonnie Bonnets (strong Australian sun = orange marks)
- Mimic
- Bright Eyes
- Windy
- Fireball

Will fade their colour drastically:
- Italian pink ponies like Parasol / Firefly / Twilight (don't think posey is the same kind of pink, never saw one fade)
- Italian Skyflier
- Mexican ponies
Feel free to add to the list. Or if this topic has been done before, kindly point me to it and remove this one :)


This would need to be a very flexible list. For example Party has sun faded Chief with no issues, I turned a Chief a charming shade of tan when I tried to do it. Technically ANY pony can either burn or fade due to either the condition of their plastic or how long they are exposed to it. If a pony is more prone to age marks and cancer they will be more prone to burning, if a pony is more prone to a head/body mismatch they will be more prone to fading.

But all that being said there are plenty of exceptions to the rule on either side.

I turned my Confetti into one crispy critter by trying to sunfade her. :cloud:

I've sunfaded multiple TAF Yum Yums' with much success.  Just be SUPER CAREFUL that you cover every single tiny bit of her hair or it will turn white FAST!!! :shocked:

I have sunfaded an Italian Gusty and it worked great, no sunburning or other issues.

If you have different experiences with a certain pony, please say so and I'll add a ! next to the ponies name

As tedious as it is ^^; I would recommend covering them all!

I've been carefully fading a very stained Gingerbread.  No signs of burning but it hasn't lightened her up a lot either.  Her pink hair was already white (although I kept it covered). I live in Oklahoma so our sun is pretty strong, but I checked on her everyday as I had heard she can burn, also.

I think she's the same hard plastic as Quackers. Might have to try that acné cream on my Quackers as i'm scared I'll burn her.
