Plasticizer leak
« on: March 17, 2018, 12:22:36 PM »
So wondering if there is more prevalence of plasticizer leakage in certain ponies. I have seven ponies that seem sticky, most likely leakage...and 5 of them are year two rainbow ponies. The other two are blue ponies. Does it seem to be certain ponies are more likely to have it?

I find certain Twinkle Eyes seem prone to it. Actually, now you mention it, Sweet Pop is one of those. Also Baby Lucky and Quarterback, who aren't TEs but are blue. Maybe there's something to that...

I think I have noticed it in other TE ponies. I also have a party time who is really rock hard so clearly went through the process before I got her.

Heat seems to be a factor in it as well though. I don't have it in many of my ponies but my ponies live in a cold cupboard in the UK, not known for its tropical weather ;) I know someone from Aus mentioned that some ponies there had gone through the whole process in a short space of time.

That's true, I ran into a Party Time once who was as hard as a rock. Hmm...

The weird thing is that I don't think my childhood Masquerade has shown any signs of this yet. But then she's never been in a hot climate? I dunno. Baby Lucky has it but Masquerade doesn't, yet I must have had them at the same time. Also Snowflake and Cherries Jubilee- neither of them have it, nor does my original Windy. I don't think I've ever had a Rainbow Pony with leak.

My Sky Rocket comes from here in the UK but I don't know her past history at all before I got her.

Sweet Pop comes from the US, though, and so does Quarterback, and a lot of places over there have higher sustained temperatures than here at times of the year...

I do think there's a random factor involved as well though. Each batch of plastic would be slightly different.

I don't know if you were just asking about G1 ponies exclusively, but I know that G2 Hip Holly is terrible for it  :lol: I have a MOC Hip Holly and she's really sticky... She's well known for it.

My TE Fizzy and Galaxy are hard as rock too so I agree with the above too...

Oh yes. Hip Vomit and Queen Stickysparkle are both major candidates for this.

Lol.  :lol:

I live in Ohio where it is pretty cold most of the time. Summer can get really humid though, but we control things in my house. I used to think people where joking about all the weather happening in one day, until I experienced it though. Started off sunny, then started raining, then snowing, back to rain, then sunny again...lol

I have a lot of the Twinkle Eyes but have never uncounted it with them. Most of my ponies who have gone rock hard are blue though.

Huh... haven't really run into it with my TE, but I really only have a few. So will have to keep an eye out for it.

Oh, all of the big brothers I've ever seen myself were rock hard. Is that not natural? :o I always just thought that was the way they were.
