i don't normally post a brag because I am forgetful or I am just so busy ( busy mum) but had to make the time and effort on this one. a week of pony joy  ^.^

like that saying say. "all comes to those who wait"  :lol:

but i never imagined in a million years this would fall from the pony heavens onto my lap.

prototype minty.
a hopeless grail that wasn't even on my want list because of her rarity and cost.
found her in a used mlp lot of g4's  :shocked:

also same week after waiting 3 weeks in transit to NZ. which killed me btw  :blink:

i dont buy ponies any more from over seas because of the shipping cost and i dont buy customs BUT factory made sitting ponies  ^.^ eeeeeeeeeeeek gota have them  :biggrin:
also complete my dolly mix wants with sitting gusty, also a long want was the silver pony necklace.
as you can see i started to rehair icy but thought i better get a pic in.

now rehaired, i spent my Friday night rehairing her, couldn't wait.visitors can't see pics , please register or login

old vintage UK comics, they are really fun to go through, i don't know if these were ever sold here in NZ like the books were or they came over with someone moving here back in the day.

also lol another also.
took the plunge on dyeing the fading pink and knew it wouldn't be easy as they are streaks. but they came out well.

they look so much better now.

and a happy mistake. she was my test subject as i haven't dyed and re-pinked and fading pink in years. i really like her way better this way

an overdue brag would be the loyal subjects ponies i got including minty (shown above), applejack and snuzzle (not shown) aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the whole set of 35th Anniversary ponies :frolic: (set not shown but minty is shown in above photo)  ^.^
i luckily got the 6 35th's in a trade  :woot:

Congratulations! What's the difference between the prototype G4 Minty and the one that was actually released? Like how can you tell that yours was a prototype one?

in the last photo i have both sanding next to each other. the store release is a more minty colour with pink colour hair and her candy lolly's have a black out line. the proto is more green like a sage colour with 2 tone hair, mat white and lilac streaks :D

Your new ponies are so beautiful! What did you do after you re-pinked there hair? Did you wash it afterwards?

thank you :) yes i did. i shampooed it to get any excess dye out, the nylon hair absorbs it really quick, also the shampoo makes the colour look a lot better ;)

I am going to have to give it a try to some of my ponies! What did you do to the parts that were close to the body?
