Breaking hair on all four Avon exclusive G3 ponies! *edit. and Baby Romperooni!

[Chrissytree]

I'm in the middle of cleaning all my G3 ponies and it's been fine... until today. I wasn't watching what I was doing while brushing Baby Tea Lily and when I looked I was shocked to find clumps of hair and little pieces of it coming away as the light wind blew at it! It just seems to be the pink. I checked the other Avon ponies and each of them has brittle hair - just the pink and orange though.

Here's a pic. You can see the part where the hair broke off at the roots and the top pink section where I just pressed it gently and it went!

I'm guessing there's nothing that can be done - so I suppose I'll have to rehair them!

I've also just found baby Romperooni from the Super Long Hair bonus sets has this problem too!

Those colors are really prone to breaking sadly, I've never heard this set escaping it.  I've always wondered what it was about that color that did it.

Yeah, I remember buying those when they first came out and even new out of the package they had terrible hair! :/

Yeah, everyone was pumped about the avon ponies until they help them in hand. Everyone hated the hair =/ Obviously, is doesn't age well. I cried over my Jazz Matazz as the hair fell out in clumps (she's my New Orleans/Mardis Gras Pony) and I still have her with me, awaiting the rehair she so desperately needs. I always loved her colors and theme so it broke my heart when it began to happen. Sadly, its just inevitability. I think all of them are just going to end up bald.

[Loa]

Yeah those Avon ponies were trouble from the get-go.

My tea lily is the same She doesn't have any pink hair left anymore

[Chrissytree]

Thanks for the info. I've had them since new and never noticed any problem with their hair and I don't remember hearing about their hair at the time.
I've also found Green Apple and Sunrise with this problem now.

I've never noticed that on my Tea Lily before. I'll have to check. Thanks for the bringing this to my attention.

Does anyone know if the three pack Tea Lily has the same problem? I don't have her to check.

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Yep, the Avon ponies and the Dollar General ponies are just AWFUL in the hair department.

Does anyone know if the three pack Tea Lily has the same problem? I don't have her to check.

Yeah it does, they were all the same =/

I want to chime in that my Sunrise has silky smooth hair and has absolutely no hint of breakage or damage o.o Can anyone confirm that this a problem with her? She's a favorite of mine and the idea of her hair doing this is not a notion I'm ready for

I also have had this trouble with comet tail - I've had two now with hair rot in the bright pink sections in both mane and tail... it's so sad, they're otherwise such nice ponies!

Do rehairs using the same color also break, or is that color not available to buy anymore?

Rehairs usually come down to match ups, so it's not the same hair that hasbro uses, so it would not be prone to such breakage.

Oh, that's good to know.  It would be so sad to have it fall out again!
