Unicorn Grails!

[Errant_Harpy]

Hey all!

I'm here to show you my two newest acquisitions: Streaky and Mimic!  They are both in pretty lovely condition!  Streaky had some odd purple paint on her cutie mark, but a magic eraser cleared that right up!  The ebay seller graciously separated her mane into the individual colors; her tail was pretty frizzy and in one piece but a few rounds with conditioner softened it up nicely.  As you can see my curling job is...subpar.  I just need a bit more practice!

Mimic had a bit of black scuffing on her hooves, but magic eraser to the rescue once again!  Her mane and tail are very nice; it's hard to see in the pic but there's very minimal fading on the pink streaks.

Both lovely girls I am very excited about!  Though I love Mimic, I just think Streaky is the most beautiful of the G1 unicorns.  Her colors just match my aesthetics perfectly.

Apologies for the garbage pictures!  One of these days I'll learn lighting and backgrounds!  And...not use an iphone camera...

Congrats on the unicorns!!! They both look stunning.
(If you need lighting help I just wait for natural light through a window in front of bedsheets or scrapbook paper...)

Oh wow! Huge congrats! Is Streaky hard to get hold of? They look wonderful all prettied up. Ooh and their hair is still pink too.

No, to my knowledge Streaky isn't rare.  But I fell in love with her once I saw her; so she's more of a personal grail!  ;D

Lovely!  Mimic is always sought after, but I have a real soft spot for the Rainbow Curl ponies.  Congrats on your sweet new additions!

(I have just jumped off Facebook and after looking at your pic I was looking for the 'like' button to hit, LOL)

Wow, what beautiful girls! Congrats on your new editions

[glitterball]

Oh wow, stunning!

Mimic is really tricky to get hold of here in the UK and is always so expensive when posted on ebay, well done on acquiring such a rare pony! 

Are you based in the US? How tricky is it it get Mimic there?

I am based in the US!  I've admittedly not been in the G1 collector's game until I unearthed my old MLPs about a month ago, but I quickly found out that Mimic was a hot ticket!  I've been popping on ebay here and there, and I see her priced from about $140-190 in good condition.  Damaged ones I've seen go in the $70-80 dollar range.  I got into a bidding war for this one, I actually ended up getting her for quite a bit cheaper than one in as good of condition as she is!

That is a great result - well done for your bargain!
