MLP Acquisitions - Jan 2021
« on: February 01, 2021, 05:30:26 PM »
I've been on MLP Arena for a month now! I love sharing my newest My Little Ponies, however, I don't want to constantly post about them. It's time-consuming and repetitive.
So, I have an idea: At the end of each month, I'll do one big update and show everything I obtained together. It'll be a great way to document progress on my collection, too! I'll name each pony, and rate their condition alongside a brief description for fun.
:newpony:
January 18th was my birthday and the month before was Christmas, so my haul is unusually impressive thanks to presents and gift money. There's thirteen ponies, and one MIB item: The first of my collection, actually!

Spoiler
MIB G3 Hidden Treasure Set
Condition: 7.5/10 - Everything inside has never been tampered with or removed, but the box is a little beat-up.

G3 Lily Lightly
Condition: 8/10 - Near immaculate hair, symbols, and dress! However, her battery compartment is a bit corroded, and the second red light doesn't work. If you read my post asking about fixing that, I've officially decided not to attempt a repair. She's too good to risk damaging.

G3 Lulabelle
Condition: 7/10 - She could've been a 10? Unfortunately, her hind legs are squished together and her head is noticeably discolored.

G3 Razzaroo
Condition: 9/10 - Basically perfect, except there's tiny bits of vinyl torn off the side of her face.

G3 Cinnamon Breeze
Condition: 8/10 - WHAT SCRATCHED UP HER LEG SO MUCH? I had to scuff it out with a nail filer! Fortunately, that's the only significant flaw.

G3 Daisy May
Condition: 8/10 - There was weird crud on her hooves and although it cleaned off, there's faint yellow stains left behind. A couple stray marks too. That's it!

G3 Morning Monarch
Condition: 9/10 - She's impressive. Absolutely stunning besides a few, barely notable marks!

G3 Windy Whisp
Condition: 10/10 - What, was she unboxed YESTERDAY? I've looked long and hard, but the only "flaws" are factory paint defects. I could cry gazing upon her perfection...

G1 Sealight
Condition: 6/10 - She's got wear to her paint and ink stains. Her insides cleaned out fairly easily, but the rust was BAD: Her weights still show damage after vinegar treatment. I believe her purple is off-color (it's common), but the head matches her body!

G1 Princess Primrose
Condition: 6.5/10 - Her hind legs are squished together and there's a dent in her neck: was obviously crushed a long time! Also, the iridescent paint on her symbols is VERY gone. If I tame that crinkled tinsel, she'll be a 7.

G1 Princess Starburst
Condition: 8/10 - Absolutely gorgeous hair and her symbols have iridescence left! There's a couple marks along her leg, but her body's perfect otherwise. She won't fall over either!

G1 Princess Royal Blue
Condition: 5/10 - SHE'S SO YELLOWED? I don't know if it's sun fading or what, but it's the worst I've had! There's also a faint, yet sizable purple stain. At the very least, her hair is great and the symbols are OK. Comedically, she stands perfectly despite everything wrong, truly inspirational.

G1 Tropical Breeze
Condition: 8/10 - A couple small stains, and that's kinda it. She's beautiful besides the missing wings, which I replaced with my own custom, glittery design! They're very simple, but match well.

G1 Morning Glory
Condition: 7/10 - I sure LOVE chartreuse-yellow stains! Otherwise, there's just an age spot on her butt and a random pink mark. Once again, I replaced her missing wings with an original design I made myself.

Congrats on a nice group!  Their hair looks soooo good, you must be excellent at styling it!  Also the comment about the  pony being truly inspirational for standing despite everything wrong - hilarious  :lol:

It seems there were/are some forum issues, but probably a mod will come along and move the thread for you  :)
Thanks to Shimmlight for the new avatar image  :biggrin:

Thank you so much! :biggrin:
I have a "formula" for styling pony hair, it's super straightforward but works. A nice rinse and brushing while there's conditioner lathered in works fast for undamaged hair. If it's dry or frizzy, I use a flat iron heated to "5" on the conditioned, wet hair after brushing (none of these ponies needed that though)!
I also have a bag of tiny curlers I got at a spa/hair care store. Those styled Tropical Breeze, Morning Glory, and Lily Lightly!
