It looks like the sun to me, but you may never know for sure. This is a Mexican pony someone sent me to fix after he had faded when she tried to sunfade away the sharpie marks. Definitely no creams used:visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Ouchie - poor lil' pony. Pinks and reds are notoriously fickle, as are the 'non-mainstream' pony production lines who often used different base materials than the HK/China factories.

That's the only way I could hide both the sharpie and the yellowing and have him come out an even color. It was also really hard for me to tell what his original color was he was so blotchy.
Yes, I too think that it was the work of acne cream. When I was trying to restore some of my mum's childhood G1s, I heard that acne cream actually helped the pony while most said that it worsened the condition and added yellow spots. I hope that you can find some solution though like painting over it because it really does suck when a grail is ruined.
I don't know - the way that the damage is concentrated only around the permanent marker areas makes me strongly suspect someone tried cleaning him with something very nasty. It's a classic look for acne cream victims - bleached out spots around old marker marks. Not saying that plastics can't age like that as well, but it's a bit suspicious being around every mark, and only the marks, no?
