Pony Mail - Watercolor Baby Sea Pony Foamy!

[MerryAnvil]

I wasn't expecting this gal to get here this week, or else I'd have pushed off the other brag until today so I could include her there! >u< But she arrived two days early, so here we are. I bought this girl from a seller on Mercari. She was $5 plus shipping, and was listed as being full of mold and having a squished face. Both of those are pretty easily remedied, and it was a great price for this girl, so I got her <3 She was listed as 'Seashore', but she's actually Foamy.

So, she arrived! I took some before and after pictures so you could see how nicely she cleaned up ^u^

Gross! But that was nothing a nice hot soak and a good scrubbing couldn't take care of <3

She cleaned up beautifully! She's borrowing Water Lily's float, which I found at a garage sale without Water Lily when I was little. I finally have a baby sea pony to put in it, and it only took me 13 years to get one! >u<

Upon her arrival, I quickly realized she was quite interesting. So while her face is a little squished, that's not what's making her features look odd. I'm pretty sure her right eye is a misprint. I squished her face back into a normal shape temporarily with my finger, and her right eye is painted completely differently than her left. The lashes are thinner, the paint looks softer, and some things are obviously out of alignment (the eyeshine is in a different position, it looks like her iris is bleeding over the outlines, etc). So I believe this little gal is a factory error! It only makes me like her more <3

She's so cute. I had her as a kid and loved taking a bath with her.
Her smudgy eye is a nice add on too. Great find and amazing clean up.
