Title: Garage Sale Pony Cleanup Thread!
Post by: mellowhen on August 21, 2014, 08:27:45 PM
Summer is here, and so are the garage/yard/boot sales!

My friend Jae scored all of these for me at a quarter a piece. I was so excited to see many of my favorites in the bunch, all of which I do not own yet!

So, without further adieu, let's go:

SPEEDY

To deflock or not to deflock, that is the question.

AJ is my favorite G4 pony, so I'm very excited to finally own her G1 counterpart. Now, if only I had a red ribbon for her...

Thank you everyone! I'm glad they all cleaned up so nicely too. I only got one baity one (Blossom) but her hair is nice, at least.

Oh wow!  Beautiful clean up job!  What fun! I'm so jealous you got Speedy!  I'm finishing up my TE collection and Speedy is on my list.

I never expected these colors to work together, but she really is adorable. Good luck finding her! (I'd sell you mine, but she has eye rubs and isn't perfect condition)

Thanks again everyone! I finally got the rest photographed and ready. Let's go!

Lemon Treats

This hair was a NIGHTMARE. Egh. It's still really dry, perhaps I'll rehair her someday.

Stripes

That hair. Never again.

I always wanted my own Stripes. She's so pretty.

Brilliant Bloom

This one was so DIRTY! Her insides seem clean, though, so that's good.

AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST...

Wigwam

What a handsome boy! He seems clean as a whistle, so I left his head seal intact. Aside from two questionable spots he is perfect.

Wow! Score!! Lemon treats is lovely...did you try a flat iron or the boiling water method to help her frazzed strands? I've had great results using both, and she's so valuable, rehairing would be sad...all of them look like you put so much love into them :heart: fantastic!

They look so pretty after cleaning up!! Makes me wish I took before and afters of my garage sale finds.  Found out some were completely different colors once they were cleaned aha

Thanks!

I used a flat iron and plastic curlers from Sally's Beauty Supply. They're so cheap!

I really am considering rehairing her, though, since it's so dry.
