Esbayne's Pony Lot Brag

[Esbayne]

I mentioned this lot a couple weeks ago in the shoutbox and got requests to make a brag! I got home today after two weeks gone and opened them all day, I'm ecstatic! Here is Pt. 1! (Because they are all still so filthy and I'm too worn out today so they will be getting baths tomorrow. They're all just lined up around my computer right now!)

I can't even tell you who I'm the most excited about, I love them all so much! Slugger and Moondancer were also total surprises and not in the listing photos.
They are FILTHY filthy ponies, and Quackers is pretty sticky, but I'm going to clean them all up. Couple tail rust ponies and Moondancer could use some sunfading I think. I also don't know what's all over Whizzer, but one side looks like a red pen exploded on her. Hope it comes up easily! >.>
ALSO two of these are Brush and Grow ponies and I had no idea, they are my first! I took them out and gasped in awe. Also my first baby merpony, colorswirl, and first sparkle ponies (for any gen!) Also first G1 TAF and little ballerina baby, too. Lots of firsts here! I'm just so ecstatic about ALL of them!!

(Although there were some duplicates! Not pictured here are v2.0 of Powder, Glow, Lemondrop, Princess Pearl, Heartthrob (although my original has blue ink stains on one eye so it looks like she got punched in the face), Masquerade without a tail, and flatfoot Blossom! Not sure what I'll do with the dupes but we shall see!)

I definitely bought all these ponies knowing they were going to be a project, but that's half the fun! Some of them are in amazing condition though and just have tangled hair and random dirt that will come off with a magic eraser.

(This is my uh, mousepad box. I use it for my laptop and just kind of sit in front of it like Schroeder. I don't have a desk but I actually like this system, minus the crappy looking boxes. Ignore my dirty mousepad, I don't wash it as much as I should, I put coffee cups on it and stuff sometimes)

(Sundance did not want to face the camera. My Draenei also chills next to the SchroderBoxSetup 24/7 as sort of a buddy when I play WoW lmfao. Don't mind her.)
So excited to have ZigZag! I have Creamsicle and Kingsly from my aunt's/my own childhood and Zecora from when G4 started, I always wanted ZigZag to kind of tie the two together. He's so much bigger than I expected! But so is the Colorswirl.

Closeup of the baby merpony! These have been some of my grails for at least a decade now. The blue one still evades me, but I'm just so freakin happy to even have this one! She was what I was most excited for the whole two weeks I waited to come home to these, but now I just don't know, I love them all!

Short version- crappy photos of dirty ponies, but they will be cleaned and get proper, pretty photos probably tomorrow!!

A splendid haul! 

[Taffeta]

Yay! I'm glad they arrived with you safely I remember you talking about it in the shoutbox and it's so good to see the lot at last. So many lovely things, no wonder you were so excited! And that merbaby looks in pretty good condition too

Cleaning them up is also half the fun! Congrats all over again!

[NightGliderSA]

Hooray, congratulations! Cannot wait to see them all cleaned up, what fun!

Congrats on such nice pony finds.

[Leave a Whisper]

What a wonderful lot! You must be ecstatic!

[Safflower]

That's an awesome lot! I can see why you were so excited in the shoutbox What wonderful ponies, you must be so happy! Huge congratulations, thank you for sharing

[ColdRuru]

What a lot! Congratz!

[Esbayne]

Thank you all so much!!!

Today is going to be bath day for about half of them! The other half I'll do tomorrow. There's 31 of them so it'd take up my whole day to do them all, lol! Will post photos after!

Thank you all!

Whew, hours of cleaning later, here are half of them! Out of my new ones, Quackers, Sparkler, Slugger, Whizzer, Princess Amethyst, and Sweetsteps have tail rust, so I am going to do them all tomorrow because it is more time consuming. This was a lot of cleaning today! My hands are prunes, lol!
Not sure if you could see how filthy they were from my crappy previous photos, but they were all mucky shades of grey and brown (or it felt like it to me) with layers of dirt and speckled with weird, dark marks. Some were very large. ALL came off! (Praise be magic erasers.) They all cleaned up well! No tangles anymore, either! Some of their hair was practically dreaded. All smooth and silky now! Some may not look it in photos but some had their hair still drying.

Since I still have a few left, I'll make sure to take a couple photos of how filthy they were before I clean them up tomorrow.

My only problem now is I'm running out of space for ponies! @_@ My shelves are getting seriously crammed!

(My mother was asking about cleaning them and I said the rusty ones will come tomorrow because they're time consuming and a pain, and I have to cut all their heads off. The second I said that her boyfriend looked up from his phone like ō_O lmao, very confused and concerned.)

Sorry if these pics aren't any better! It's dark by now so I'm trying to manage with mediocre lights and backdrops.

These girls I wanted to show off on their own because their HAIR!! Omg. Their tails were sad little frizzy dreads and their hair was rough and stiff, and now both feel like petting silk when you touch them! I'm so happy! I can't believe I have them!

(speaking of Sweetsteps having tail rust, does anyone by chance know how to remove the ballerina ponies' heads? Do you just heat them up and pull like regularly or are they weird?)

[starstrider]

Whoo-hoo!  Such a great pony haul!  Love the movie version Firefly, she's always been a fave of mine.  So many lovelies to enjoy!

[Taffeta]

Ah, that brush & grow hair! *grabby hands* I love how beautiful B&G ponies look when their hair is soft and silky. Great job <3

[chateaushelton]

These ladies look wonderful thanks to your magic touch 

And I do love the backdrop to your photos as well!

[Esbayne]

Thank you all so much!!
