[INSANELY PICTURE HEAVY] I'm gonna need more space,,

[PrincessKittyDragon]

So a little while ago my boyfriend and I decided to drive to MA, since we are pretty close to NY state lines and there were Savers in Springfield. I had heard of many people having good luck there and what do you know

My First G1 Ever!!

Slugger
(his hair is pretty dry and his mark has a lil stain but, I still can't believe it)

in the bag with him was

Sunny Daze
(other than some black spots, shes fairly clean and her hair is great! Just needs a wash)

Both of them for 2$!

I also found

Mcdonalds Lightheart
(note she is the 2019 version, iirc she was part of a line where they remade original Happy Meal toys and it was random who you got?
please correct me if I'm wrong!)

After the savers we decided to go to a flea market, it was in an old Sears in a mall!
and apparently my luck didn't stop there

Waterfire
(A pony who has been on my list from the start, she's pretty roughed up but it just made me love her more.
I now have a headcanon that she is the daughter of G1 Barnacle and quite the adventurer)

Moondancer
(its hard to tell because its on her other side but she has a big chunk out of her ear haha,
maybe she goes on adventures with Waterfire! Her hair is great, very smooth)

Star Surprise
(she has a hair cut but I think once it's styled it'll look really cute on her!)

This Saturday we decided to drive an exhausting 4 hours to Rochester to visit The Strong Museum of Play
I highly recommend if you love toys, video games or comics! I did see some G1 ponies, Moondancer, Blue Baby Ember, Medley, Starshine and Peachy (along with the Pretty Parlor)

After that we go to a Savers, No luck sadly then we head home.
I mention this because...

The next day, out of nothing else to do we drive to a flea market we frequent a lot.
My boyfriend looks into bag and pulls out a pony so I rush over
They just keep coming.. until

20. G1. Ponies.
I had never seen so many in my life
We got them for 40$

I'm going to spoiler these pictures since its so many
Hopefully it'll make the post a little shorter!!

Spoiler

Mommy Sweet Celebrations
(She's a little warped and doesn't want to stand super well. I love her hair color so much)

Daddy Sweet Celebrations
(He has a few age spots on his hooves, I know most people call this pony cancer but ;w; I think that's a lil harsh
so I'm gonna call them age spots)

Sugarberry
(Pictures don't do her hair justice, its so amazingly bright! She's a little sticky but I'm hoping its not plasticizer leak)

Tall Tales
(Her tail has this little squirrel looking clip, I'm not sure who it belongs to!)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Applejack
(Just good ol Apple horse, her hair feels little dry but seems fixable. AJ is one of my favorites in G4
so I'm very happy to have her original incarnation)

Moondancer
(More thirsty hair but shes very very cute)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Bouquet
(Bad. Bad. Bad. So Sticky and Grimy Just touching her makes me feel gross. I think her Plasticizer is definitely leaking.
Also she doesn't even want to stand ;^; shes in the Nasty Bag for right now lol)

Princess Sparkle
(Pretty clean, hair is a little messy but over all a good girl)

Sundance
(Surprisingly white, she has age spots I think but hopefully I can fix that)

Bubbles
(She's amazingly clean, I think she had some writing on her hooves but I love her)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Fizzy
(Her hair is so dry but I'm just so happy to have her she is one of my grails)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Wigwam
(He's so bright!! Hair is nice and I'm very surprised he has a bandana)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Medley
(I didn't think I'd like her until I saw her in person, shes very pretty!
I can't tell if she has age spots or if its just general dirt)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Seashell
(Another girl I've always wanted, there just something so charming about her)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Bowtie
(Another very sticky pony, sad because shes very cute, pink and blue is my favorite color scheme :<
She's in the Nasty Bag with Bouquet until I can figure out what to do)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Quarterback
(He's very sticky so hes in the Nasty Bag as well. I think it might be a common problem with Quarterback specifically?
I've seen other people have this issue with him)

Peppermint Crunch
(She has age spots I think, but hopefully I can get rid of it)

Glory
(She has a little stain on her mark, her hair is such a great purple!)

This post is so long, I'm so sorry haha
I'm tired

So many congrats on your new ponies! That second haul is a lot of pony for $40! As for the outfits the first one is from Wedding Bells I think, but I'm not sure about the second one. There are loads of tutorials around for tidying them all up, I'm sure it'll be loads of fun 

p.s. thanks for sharing so many lovely pics!

[Safflower]

Aw congrats! So many lovelies <3 The pony corral is always there if you need help on restoration and wanna ask

I also love how blinding the neon yellow/green hair is lol

[MerryAnvil]

Oh wow, what an amazing haul! You must be over the moon! 
I loved to go pony hunting at thrift stores when I lived in MA too, I'm glad to see you had good luck there!

Also major congrats on the flea market finds too, that was an awesome deal for $40! I especially love your boys! Ahh Wigwam with his bandanna, what a great find <3

As a quick note, if you have sticky ponies and the stickiness stays after you give them a bath, it's possible they might be leaking plasticizer. I would definitely recommend keeping them separate from your other ponies because this problem can spread! I have a Butterscotch who is currently in quarantine because she's pretty sticky >u<

[Mewtwofan1]

All this? Whoa! You’re so lucky!

I’ve looked through the g1 ponywear on the wiki, but I can’t find the second outfit either. Good luck finding what it is though! It’s so shiny!

Thank you, I've been looking on the mlp preservation project website its been pretty helpful!! I'm excited to get them all clean
My G3's might have to wait a little while, poor girls

Aw congrats! So many lovelies <3 The pony corral is always there if you need help on restoration and wanna ask

I knoww!! its so surprising seeing their hair in person. I heard it can bleed when washing which makes me a little nervous, I don't want it to stain Sugarberry or Surprise

I really am haha I'm still kind of processing it I think, I never imagined to find any G1's out in the wild, let alone 20, heck 21 counting Slugger! I definitely quarantined them as soon as I felt the sticky. I heard eventually they'll become really hard because the plasticizer is what makes them soft? I wasn't a huge fan of Wigwam until I saw him in person because his orange is just so obnoxious in the best way possible. The bandanna was a total shock to me too!

Its a mystery at the moment, I know next to nothing about ponywear because I've never been huge on it, I like being able to see their symbols

I FOUND THE SECOND OUTFIT!!!

I believe it is this one? Sidewalk Surfer!

[Mewtwofan1]

Aww yeah! Well gang, that’s another mystery solved!

[The_Loner]

What an awesome haul! Big congrats!

The first outfit is "Something Old, Something New". It was called "Wedding Bells" in Europe. The other outfit is "Sidewalk Surfer" as you found out

[PrincessKittyDragon]

Thanks!! I'm very surprised it came with all the shoes, albeit they are very sticky. I think it might just be because they were on Bouquet who is leaking very bad

[Foxtale]

Wow that is some crazy good pony luck! Congrats

[Carebearnmbr46]

That’s amazing! Congrats on everything!  And I love the idea of Waterfire being Barnacle’s daughter!     How cute!      

[PrincessKittyDragon]

That’s amazing! Congrats on everything!  And I love the idea of Waterfire being Barnacle’s daughter!     How cute!      

I'd love to draw them together someday!
Also I love your avatar, I'm a fan of Care bears too uwu I just recently got an old Bright Heart Raccoon and Gentle Heart Lamb

[Taffeta]

Yeah, I was going to say the second outfit is the dress from Sidewalk Surfer/Skateboard Sensation.  And as you're in the US the wedding dress is almost certainly Something Old Something New.

Great finds!

The white clip in Tall Tales' tail may belong to her. They came with those, I just can't remember who had what. Maybe the Wiki will know. Chances are if she's the only Happytail in the lot that it's hers.

Edit: Yep, looks like it:
http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Tall_Tales

It looks like Bouquet has some decent hair if you can get the sticky and stuff under control.

Quarterback definitely is known for sticky issues but when they come through plasticizer they get harder but are less gross to touch.

Awesome to have three brothers in a short space of time

Super congrats

[Shy Violet]

Wow, amazing finds!!! Huge congrats! They all look like they'll clean up nicely.

[Leave a Whisper]

Ooh hey! A multi-gen group! That's a real sweet deal!
