What in the world has happened to my Pony? Have you seen this before?

[tulagirl]

I was going through some of my boxes upstairs. They are not subjected to light or anything bad.  This pony was not stored up against anything.  I had her in an open zip lock bag.  One whole half of her has turned green.  She wasn't like this last year. I had her out and I remember her being in perfect condition.    In fact I have always had her stored in the same place.  Has anyone seen this kind of aging before?  Cheap plastic for this pony? What in the world happened?  She is ruined.

I have no idea what might have caused that, but it's a rather cool effect? She's like a pony Two-Face. The new Supervillain in town!

Sure have, unfortunatly. Each half was from different batches I am sure. Sadly, the right wasn't as good of a batch (stabilizers and such). Could have been from heat, off-gassing from another piece stored nearby. How warm does your storage area get? any wide fluctuations in temp?

I like this concept of  Two Faced Star Dancer. 

 Actually FantasticFirefly she was just upstairs in my house where there is central air conditioning.

interesting.  sorry your pony is ruined.

I didn't think ponies were made in "halves" rather just a single pour mold?  or maybe the bottom of the mold filled with one batch of plastic and the rest filled with the next batch?   I think there's a production word for problems that occur when the production line switches to new input material...

Wow - a quirky effect!

I wouldn't say she's ruined - she's very unique!

I can't help, but I've got a friend (Clecleme here) who's got actually a pony with the same problem...

I am pretty sure these are mcdonalds ponies, and they are two pieces of hard plastic. Not a vinyl pony, though my Wizzer looks like this from a summer buried in a daycare sandbox.

No idea what causes it but I have the same pony with the same problem 😆 She came to me like that years ago....

I am so sorry to hear that this happened  I have no idea how it happens, but I have an army of these guys and I have found these there’s no end to the odd colours they can be! I had no idea that this happened to them, I just thought they were cheap,y made and they didn’t care about matching up the colours! Now I’m wondering what causes it
Below are pictures of the ones I own, as you can see cloud dancer (dark blue) and star flight? (Blue) have this issue, and the other two don’t? It’s very odd!

They are indeed Mcdonald’s ponies and are two halves of hard plastic with hair slotted between. The second cloud dancer to the left was a childhood pony. She has only a very minor colour difference and has always been that shade. She had been in a bag in a cupboard too, so I can’t wxplain why yours has changed. All I can say is that it definitely happens.
