Mold? Age spots?

Head removal, try a blowdryer to loosen the glue and soften the plastic. Flat head screwdriver nicely plies the head from body. Most ponies will have a small spot that will loosen up that you can work from. Harder bodied ponies plastic may permenently damage with the screwdriver method so be gentle! Throw a silica packet in her (the ones that are in shoe boxes...)

Thank you so much for the advice! The silica packet is a really good idea, do you think I should do that for all my older ponies, or just ones already showing signs of mold or spots?

I'd stick with the ones that are showing plastic deterioration. Unfortunately plastic breakdown is inevitable. No need to rip off heads if a pony is looking good still.
