Hi everyone,
As I said in my Introduction post, I went home at Christmas and decided to get rid of my childhood collection. They've been in a box for over 20 years, and I want them to go to a good home(s). My preference is to get rid of them as a lot (or a few lots), but I understand that some of them are highly desirable to collectors.
I am located in eastern Canada. I could potentially meet someone halfway in the Maritimes if there are local people who are interested.
A
note first: these were well-loved ponies that I played with constantly as a kid. They are
NOT mint condition. I have tried to take pictures of any defects that I found. If they didn't show up in the pictures, I will describe them. Also, one of my ponies came with some lipstick and I went a little crazy applying it to all the ponies. I brushed out some of the hair, but then I got lazy.
My original intention was to give them away if someone wanted to pay for shipping and handling. However, I've had a few messages from people saying that some are valuable and people will be willing to pay. If I can make some money, awesome, but that wasn't my intention of doing this (I do like money and I won't turn any down). I didn't want to drop them off at the thrift store. I haven't even worked out how we can do a payment, but we can figure that out later.
I found my 10 year old BitBucket account. I hope this works. Sort by
oldest first. Unfortunately, they're not in the order that they're in on here, but they should be all grouped together. I am not sure how to embed the pictures into this post.
So, without further ado:
http://s112.photobucket.com/user/bella_karlita/library/PoniesMount Boy PoniesA family friend from the UK brought these to me.
Thundercloud Pretty good condition. Mane and tail are brushable. Tiny traces of lipstick on his mouth and cheeks, but you have to look closely. One symbol has a tiny smudge on it.
TornadoSeems to be in excellent condition. Perfect eyes. There is a tiny remnant of lipstick on his mouth but you have to look very closely to see.
Birthflower PoniesI think these were mail order?
VioletNot 100% positive I want to part with this, seeing as everyone thinks they're very special, but then again, do I just keep it in a box for the next 20 years? Violet is my birthflower, which is why I have this one. Seems to be in great condition, but like above, a tiny bit of lipstick remains (have to look very closely). Mane and tail are in good condition. There are a couple little marks and spots here and there but nothing major. Symbol is crisp and clear.
HollyDecember was my best friend's birth month, so I got Holly. Surprisingly no lipstick. A few dirt marks here and there. One side of the symbol has a section that is partially worn away. I took a pic to demonstrate. The other side is fine.
Sparkler Pony - TwinklePretty good condition, tinsel seems in good shape. Remnants of lipstick. One eye has a tiny bit of schmutz on it but I had to really hold it up to the light to see. This was the last pony I got, when I was a little too old for MLP, and didn't play with it very much. This is not the mail order version.
Twinkle Eye Pony - FizzyOk condition. There are some spots of discolouration. The symbols have some fading (and one glass is half worn away). Eyes are fine. I didn't brush the hair out.
SundanceNo idea what happened to Megan. A few smudges and she's got some lipstick on (shows up because she's white). Eyes and symbol are fine.
Twice as Fancy Pony - Milky WayI always liked this one and saved playing with her for special occasions. As close to perfect condition for a played with toy. Little specks of glitter here and there. No scuffs or marks that I can see. No lipstick.
Flutter PoniesWhose idea was it to make wings this delicate for a children's toy? Also, these were called "Pony FlapFlap" in Italian. I think that's adorable.
RosedustNo wings (naturally). Lots of smudge marks.
Forget-Me-Notbetter condition than Rosedust. A section of her tail is braided. Hair isn't in the greatest condition.
Baby poniesThey're actually pretty cute.
Baby CuddlesCame with the Baby Buggy playset that is long gone. On the surface, the pony is perfect. However, I decided to colour under the feet with a ballpoint pen. You can't see anything if it's standing up but I want you to know regardless.
Beddy Bye Eyes - GustyNot in the greatest shape. The hair sticks straight up, I chewed on the horn and it's wearing some pretty garish lipstick. The eyes look great though!
Windy Wing Pony - Sun GliderWings are fine, mane and tail needs some work. No scuffs or discolouration.
So Soft Pony - LoftyNever liked this one too much. Mane and tail need some work. The fuzz has worn away in some spots around the hooves, ears and one wing. There is a pink stain above one eye (from a highlighter?).
Brush 'n Grow Pony - Curly LocksRelatively good condition based on how much I played with it. Mane and tail need a good brushing,. There's a tiny bit of lipstick left on the mouth. One eye has a defect (looks like it has two pupils) that was like that when I got it. There's a tiny bit of glitter glue on one wing. The tail still works fine (I tried it!).
Pegasus Pony - MedleyLoved Medley. Tail is in a braid. Remnants of lipstick. There's an imprint in her raised leg (I think there was an elastic around it). Eyes and symbol are fine.
SeaponiesI don't have the accessories unfortunately.
Sea BreezeI traded High Tide for Sea Breeze with a friend in kindergarten. Her initials are NT, which is written on the bottom of the tail. Her head popped off once and I remember being absolutely disgusted by what was inside (I think I remember someone saying that there was a magnet that rusted). Eyes and hair are fine (the hair is actually in really good condition considering that this was a bath toy). There's a discolouration under one side fin.
Sea StarNot sure if I want to get rid of this one unless someone truly wants it. Really good condition for a bath toy. Why are the seaponies' hair so great?
Earth Pony - BowtieAbsolutely not getting rid of this one!
Bowtie was my very first pony, but I wanted to share a picture regardless.
There were two ponies that I forgot to take pictures of.
Rainbow Pony - MoonstoneThere's a bit of schmutz on the face and hindquarters. I remember being upset as a kid when one of the tiny glittery dots rubbed off. This was one of my favourites.
Happy Tails Pony - TabbyWait - maybe this was the last pony I got. Tail is in good condition but the mane needs some TLC. There's some dirt on her hindquarters that would probably come off with some soap and water. The tail still turns easily. The best part: I still have the squirrel tail clip.
Pony outfits1. Mother and baby skating outfit. I don't have the skates anymore, but I have coats and hats.
2. Workout outfit and tutu
3. Baby tutu
4. Baby shoes (how did I not lose these as a kid?)
5. Baby necklace
6. A few ribbons (yellow, blue, purple and pink)
