Ohhh, what beautiful ponies to be your first G1s! Congrats. It truly is a great feeling to find ponies in your area (whether it be online, or in the actual wild by visiting shops), especially when one of them turns out to be a favorite!! And a boy pony too, aaaa.

They cleaned up so nice, and now I might have my eyes on a Lemon Drop for myself because of that after picture. She's just so charming!!

A valid poll option would have been "i have her with no visible plastic problems" cuz id like to know just how rare that is...she does tend to have blemishes but i dont mind them at all.

I'm actually curious about this myself, hah! I'm lucky for the problems mine has, you actually really can't tell them unless you shine a bright flashlight on her.. or try and squeeze her, haha.

She's so adorable! I'd love to have her (and by association her mom).

A little of column A and B, but more spontaneous. I am very much a "ooohhh, shiny" sort of person and will fixate on anything that catches my eye, but I do also have a plan with trying to 'finish' stuff. Like, when I started getting 'mom' ponies (Glory, Firefly, and Bowtie specifically) I focused on getting their babies next.. so there is some method to my madness.

Uhhh, I'll go with first iTunes purchase because it's what I remember and that was the cover of Under Pressure done by My Chemical Romance and The Used.

Such gorgeous girls… I need to remember to take pics of mine when I can.

Goodness, brain fog kept making me forget to take a picture of my pretties!

Fun fact, Flower Dream was my first ever G1 because I was a silly silly young adult back then and told myself "Oh, these are much better than those ugly normal G1 ponies!"

Well I'm not so much concerned about rust, more concerned about it being moldy inside her or something like that (which I would think would be everywhere if that were the case, but I also don't know her history).But yeah, I would much rather not butcher her if I can avoid it. I mean, I would agree after taking those other shots it was something she was stored against.. but can never be too careful!

I feel like I am always asking questions, I am so sorry 

Hey thereeeee. So, by now I think a lot of people can gather from my posts I've been finding G1s at a local vintage toy/game shop. I got the last G1 they have on shelves on Friday, a Brilliant Bloom who has been taunting me since my husband and I first discovered the shop. I had been shying away from buying her because of her being a Brush 'n' Grow because I thought her mechanism was broken (which it kinda works. Can't crank much of her tail in but it will and I can pull the tail back out), but also her overall condition from what I could see. Because she looks like she has a nice black eye. Which is under this spoiler coming up!


I scrubbed her down with some Dawn and warm water and went at it with a Magic Eraser and I think it helped a little, but not a whole lot. I really can't think of what it could be other than maybe it's a huge 'age spot' or leached marker of some kind. (I can take a picture with flash if needed, to get a better look at it)

I just want some guidance/advice of if this is something pretty bad or what. And if it is.. how do I go about treating it because I know it can be a bit delicate to open one of these up (between potentially breaking all the mechanisms and having to cut into the body  to get them out), especially to get at her head, where this mark is.
