Will all G1 ponies get cancer ultimately?

[ValeofSpring]

I wouldn't worry too much about it--I think G1s are holding up amazingly well!  The ones I have look just about new and they are almost 30 years old.  I do think there are some ponies that are more prone to aging, discoloration, etc., and we know who those are.  I keep my ponies stored in a cabinet that stands against an inside wall, so they are in a dark, relatively dust-free, temperature-controlled area.  What more can I do?  My friend though whose ponies were stored for 15+ years in a hot attic pulled hers down for me and they looked as good as mine!  Ponies are quite durable.

Thanks for the reassurance everypony!!!

Oh and did I miss something are Beyonce and Paris Hilton known pony collectors?!?!?

Confused :/

Beyonce for sure is... Paris has a bunch of G3 Pinkie Pies... don't know if that's her collection or not, but she has been seen with them.    And yes, Lady Gaga thinks they are cool as well.

I ll agree with everyone!

They are made of plastic - over decades or centuries all plastic will breakdown so yes, "in theory" our ponies wont last forever. However, whether they all get cancer or all breakdown within our lifetimes I think is unlikely - some ponies [i.e. some plastic batches] are clearly more prone to it than others and will develop issues probably no matter the life they have lived or the conditions we keep them in. While others may never have any problems that we see at all.
