Thrift find Mimic! *Edit, cleaned up!*
« on: October 19, 2018, 01:50:39 PM »
Woot!  I dropped by the thrift store with my SO today on a whim, and I found a bag of ponies with a distinctly green girl... Mimic!  I don't collect much anymore, but this girl was not one I ever thought I'd have based on price.  I paid $3 for her and a couple other ponies (Princess Primrose and G3 Starcatcher).  Also MH Dawn of the dance draculaura was also a nice find.

I'm pretty sure Mimic will clean up great, I haven't had a pony spa day in years, hehe!  I'll be sure to post another pic when she's cleaned up  :biggrin:

Holy cow, WOW!!! Congrats! What a find! :D

Mimic is one I don't ever expect to have in my collection, either. Her price is rather ridiculous if you ask me. ;)

I love reading thrift finds like this! I very very rarely see MLP in the thrift stores here, and if I do, it's a random McD or G3.5. This is such a great find!

You found Mimic at a thrift store for $3?!  That’s INSANE!  Congrats on an absolutely amazing find!  She looks to be in great condition too!

 :dropjaw:  How did you manage to keep it together in the store?  I would have a hard time not jumping up and down and making people think I'm nuts.  XD  Congrats you are so lucky!  She looks like she will clean up very nice, I can't wait to see pics of her after spa day.  Can I stand near you so some of your luck might rub off on me?  Hehehe!  ;)

Thank you, everyone!  I'm still kind of shocked to be honest.  I was also so excited yesterday that she took a lot of my attention, so here's the result of Pony spa day!

She cleaned up amazingly!  No rubs to her paint/blushing, her hair is fine and still pink, ahh!  Really, the only thing really wrong with her seems to be a bit of orange/red staining on her throat.

Even then it's not super distracting, and I could always sun fade her at some point.  She's just such a delightful pony, I'm so fond of her!
