If I am correct, I think that they started using non metal washers on ponies in G4 but I think all the G-3's have metal washers... I have never seen one without one that is a G3Unless you want to, you wouldn't have to remove all the metal washers as long as your ponies aren't wet.Hope this helps!
It varies which type is in g3 and g3. G1 are all metal. G2 idk

G2 idkI know at least some g2s have metal because I've seen tail rust on them before.As for g3, I think they all have metal. Idk about g4 but all of mine that I've actually opened have had metal ones and I'm sort of up to date on the line so yeah. I don't think they ever swapped to plastic or anything...You shouldn't have to open up your g3s if they don't show any signs of tail rust. It might even decrease their value if you go in and replace them or even just rip the original neck glue (if they have any). However, it is up to personal preference so if you're planning on giving your ponies frequent spa trips, then it may be a good idea to bust em open and replace them (Or if you don't ever plan on selling your collection and you know this and you just prefer not having to worry about rust later on, then yeah. Otherwise, there really isn't a reason to go through and replace them all?)

Yes, most are metal, but there are some plastic washers! I’m working on a list of plastic washer ponies for my website, so I’ll post tit here when I’m done even if they have a plastic washer, I wouldn’t submerge them, as they could still get mould. I’d wipe them down or use a magic eraser (careful on painted parts!) when you wash their hair, towel dry the top of the tail straight afterwards For your sanity’s sake, I wouldn’t remove any g3s head if you don’t need to. Some of them are near impossible to get off! Even the ones with turning heads are a nightmare! If they have no sign of rust, I wouldn’t recommend it! It will only develop if the pony is submerged so I wouldn’t worry if they’re not going to a swimming pool! In my collection of g3s, I’d say one in 20 have it, so it’s no where near as common as in g1sOut of the ponies you have, precious gem has a plastic washer I hope this is helpful! Sunsparkle xx
