So I stumbled across this lovely, and decided to offer her here first at an Arena-Only up for offers until Friday August 31st. The last one in this condition that sold on eBay was opened, and sold for $699 in March, this one has not been opened. Unlike the most recently sold in box item ($286), this one is in good display condition and the Berrykin is not damaged. Also no price stickers to be seen anywhere. So please keep that in mind when considering offers.

The dolls themselves are in amazing condition. The box has some shelf wear and a little dent on the back.  Some yellowing to the plastic encasing them all, and some denting to the bubble. Basically, she's in the condition that she would have been after a few months on the shelf in the store. The comb is loose somehow, but I'm not sure if it just is meant to be that way because I can't figure out where it would have been secured.

She's very secure in box so she will display well (and ship well).

I am putting her on eBay on September 1st if nobody here bites.

I will consider payment plans, but only until September 7th (meaning all money in hand by September 7th).

Here's an entire gallery of images detailing any and all items of concern: https://imgur.com/a/rOrgo1S

Edit: Will think about partial trades for a variety of Nirvana ponies.

Are you a "backcard purist"? Do you like to match the stickers? Do you optimize the pony designs?

How do you choose which ponies wear which Ponywear, if you display Ponywear on ponies?

This one has a little story to it.

I had just turned 6, and this was in 1984, so Twice as Fancy ponies were absolutely not on the market yet.

I had all of 4 ponies, and Twilight had been the first one I'd gotten (and they were almost all pink, my least favorite color).  But you know what else I had recently learned?  How to draw 5 pointed stars.  And I felt like Twilight needed to be a little...cooler.  So I expanded her symbol with a ballpoint pen and tried to color her purple streak blue with a marker.

Predictably this looked like hot garbage within a few months and Twilight was mysteriously whisked away by some adult who thought that the second a toy doesn't look new it's unloved, never to be seen again.

So I decided I wanted to make the custom of my vision.  I did leave off some things I had done originally, like the stars down her front leg because I wasn't even happy with them at the time.  And I only did one side TAF, and just redrew the symbol in blue on the other side.

The stars are a little wonky because, as true to the custom, I literally just drew a bunch of 5-pointed stars using the method where you basically just draw 5 crossing lines and end up with a star with a pentagon in the middle, painted them, and then applied glue and glitter which is now all over my house.  Whee.

You can also imagine how disappointed I was that Milky Way was not TAF Twilight (I also, in predictable kid fashion, thought they stole my idea and robbed me of millions).

I'm not sure if I am 100% happy with her...but I am also not sure I have a steady enough hand to get really precise with the glue.  Paint, sure, glue that has to hold micro glitter, this might be the best I'm gonna get.

I also decided to make another custom that I had in mind when I was kinda young.  The second I saw a Moon Shadow on shelves I loved her...sort of. I never found one that wasn't discolored and it bothered me.  But not as much as the fact that she was never a g1 pony.  Her streak is that fading pink, so she's kind of a hybrid of the releases.  I may redo her symbol in metallic paint, I'm not loving the glitter.

Oh and I also dyed this Bow Tie too dark, so she's gonna get as close to Nightlight as I can get without removing freckles (and being too dark).

Hey restorers and customizers!

I have to restore some half-bald Butterscotches, poor things.

I can tell you what colors they're not (all colors are from Dollyhair) but I don't want to just keep ordering shots in the dark and my monitors seem to be nearly entirely inaccurate for the actual colors.

• Nylon Golden Goddess (kinda knew this going in that there was no way it was a match, it was more of a "maybe I'll just rehair a regular one)
• Nylon Golden Sun
• Polypropylene Alluring.

Has anyone found a good match?

I'm a touch afraid that it might be Goldenrod or Butter Pecan. Or a blend (I am not having luck with the blends being really consistent, too chunky these days).

Mermaid's close, and I suspect mine is just faded.

I'm putting this in off-topic doe to its wildly speculative nature.

So, we know we have Apple Jack, who is either named after the cereal...or hopefully the liquor because that's funnier.  So naming ponies after products is nothing too unusual for the early days of MLP.

But then we have Minty.  Who has clovers on her butt.  Ok.  She's mint green.  So Minty I guess.

But I posit there's another reason.

What is, yes, minty.  Pale green, and associated with clovers that are sometimes called shamrocks and were definitely around in 1981-1982?

Shamrock Shakes.

I think Minty is named after Shamrock Shakes.  And I find that delightful.

Did I miss something in the last few years of collecting?  Did all the Moon Dreamers collectors just form a tight knit community and leave eBay behind?  Why are the ones on eBay these past few months just really ratty?  And why, between all the auctions I have looked at since Christmas, were there like...5 shoes among all of them?

So this is my first time on this forum in years    I'd sold off most of my collection at some point (although I do have a few Shelti classics around, still with their flowers in their hair)! So anyway I am a fool and after two hours of searching I realized I accidentally sold my peach Sweet Clover at some point in the last 6 years when I didn't mean to, and when I found my Tiny Bubbles she was looking worse for wear.

So I am looking for both.  I'd like them to be in pretty good condition, no major flaws or huge spots (although I don't care about bottom of the hoof issues).  Sweet Clover's hair should be...well, you should be able to at least tell it was once pink, and she has to be the lighter peach version.

I'm also looking for a Blossom tail...or comparably colored pony's tail.  Or just a really crappy Blossom that happens to have a nice tail I can hijack.

Thanks!
