oh wow, thats alot of spots :/ Personally I would return it that's a big flaw not to mention. Also bubbles I don't believe is as prone to cancer as other ponies, I would say the breakdown of the plastic is happening cause of her being moc and i would think it would get worse in time to answer your question

Oh, that makes it even MORE painful as I've wanted a MOC Seashell and Bubbles forever! Poor thing...but yeah, those spots are obvious even to the most casual observer. I'd return her and hold out for one in better condition. Hopefully AJ is far more minty than this one!
Oh, and yeah, I've seen quite a few Bubbles' with the brown spotting since I have an army of them, so keep and eye and definately ask questions

wow that's quite a bad cancer case !!!
i would ask a refund and return the item like yesterday!!!!!!!
bummer! but hey! i am sure you will get another one soon!

Thanks for your help everyone. I think I will return it for a refund. It would have been awesome if it were in good condition as bubbles doesn't show up MOC very often. I would like to explain it to her as she did say she didn't know why it would have brown spots since it was in a box for years. What's the best way to explain?
Also, I did receive my other item today, a MIB flutter and it was okay so at least I got one nice pony.

That's a shame. She looked like a dream in that auction, I saw it ended (wanted to see what other ponies she had sold) and was like omg that person is lucky. I'm sorry it worked out like that and she's not what you thought.

Don't use the word cancer. I have heard of non-collectors getting very upset by the use of the word to describe spots on plastic ponies. Maybe just tell her the brown spots are caused by the breaking down of the plastic, and there is no way to fix them. And that if you return it and she wants to re-sell it, she should mention the brown spots.

I agree, it's a term that is not taken lightly by some outside the community.

I think you are doing the right thing by returning her. The spots are really bad  Plus you will never be fully happy with her.
