This Week's Brag: TLC Lot!

[MerryAnvil]

I hope everyone has been able to keep themselves busy with everything that's going on lately. I've been doing so by spending time online shopping for ponies, since thrifting is out for the foreseeable future! I found this cute little cheap TLC lot on Mercari and it arrived yesterday. According to the seller, the lot had been stored away in a box since the 90's! They were all obviously very well-loved. They all have haircuts and various issues but I love them!

I set about cleaning them all up and making them beautiful!

First up is Baby Sweet Steps, one of the main reasons I bought this lot! She has been on my wishlist for awhile and she is just too cute with her little curly bangs <3

Then we have Beautybloom! She was in rough shape. She had nail polish on her hooves and some of her own chopped-off hair was stuck in it. Yuck! She cleaned up pretty nicely though.

Next is Sprinkles, who has been on my wishlist since forever! She cleaned up nicely with some stains. Oddly enough her tail popped out while I was washing it, so I popped her already-completely-unglued head off and pulled her washer out since it was rattling around in there. It was pristine, no rust or anything! I still took it out just to be safe before putting her tail back in.

Next is this lovely bright Bowtie, who cleaned up real nice with the exception of a smudged symbol, stains from the nail polish on her hooves, and a little bit of nail polish still left on her display side symbol (I wasn't sure about scrubbing at it anymore since I didn't want to rub her paint off...I'll give it another try soon). Her mane would not stay out of her face no matter which direction I tried to lay it, so I just pinned it back with this cute little bow barrette!

Just for giggles, I took a pic of her with my other Bowtie to compare the two. Old Bowtie is quite faded, goodness!

Next is Majesty, who was probably one of the worst of the lot in terms of condition. I wasn't able to get all the nail polish stains off her hooves, but I'm hoping that sunfading her will do the trick!

Next is Peachy, one of the few Collector ponies I was missing. She was also one of the worst and still has quite a bit of staining, but she did clean up nice otherwise!

And last but not least...er. Well. Parasol! This girl was definitely the roughest out of all of them. She's missing a tail, has smudged symbols, age marks, and staining. But she's my first Parasol, so I'll do my very best to get her looking gorgeous again <3

All in all I'm quite pleased by how well they've cleaned up!

Great work on fixing them up!  Amazing the difference between the two Bowties.

Congrats on your ponies!  That must have been really satisfying to get them cleaned up so nicely.

I think you did a great job! Nail polish is a pest!

[starstrider]

Well done! There's nothing quite so satisfying as seeing old ponies given new life! They look wonderful
