Cool! I might pick up a few  What do the nail decals look like? Thanks for sharing, I had no idea that MLP nail colors are being sold!

I love the pose, but the colors are a bit weird and I don't like fancy pants. Pass for me.

Thank you Lostpony! Yeah, I'm really glad I have a MPP! My relatives live a little farther away than where I live, so when I visit I check Craigslist. I found a seller who was selling a bunch of toys, and I looked at the photos and there she was! I could tell she had a minor hair trim, but the seller said her mechanisms worked fine so I bought her for around 3 dollars! The seller said she would meet me near one of the Best Buys there, but she "forgot" to show up. I was really scared I wouldn't get her! Thankfully, she shipped her to me and all was good  When she arrived I cleaned her up and noticed a bit of her eyelashes were missing  But, it isn't too noticeable, so all is good! Her mechanism works perfectly too. Also, I would post pictures, but I can't really figure out how since I don't have an image hosting service and don't want to mess with one. I think I might be able to use Google Cloud though, so maybe soon!

Hello! I need some help with identifying what's going on with my blue Ember. She's perfectly fine, just a little plasticizer leaking, and a little fading on her ear tips - nothing unusual, pretty good condition. But, shortly after I bought her at an antique mall, I realized she had a perfect, tiny dot of black factory paint on her right ear. It just a bit smaller than the white dots in her eyes. I am pretty sure it's factory paint, because it has the same shine as her eye paint does, and there are no other marks on her whatsoever. If you're looking at the top of her head when she is facing you, it is on the lower right side of the top of her ear. The other weird thing going on with her paint is that there are two white shines in her right eye. Sure you know this, lol, but G1 ponies only have one shine per eye! Her right eye looks rubbed, but I don't think it actually is. All of her other paint is perfect. It looks as if green leaked into her pupil, or the black was rubbed off, showing green underneath. But, the eye color is stamped on top of the pupil because it creates the outline, I think? (The eye is created first by stamping the lashes or the whites, then the pupil which is slightly larger than the curve of the crescent of eye color, followed by the eye color in a crescent shape, which creates the outline of the iris and the pupil?) If my assumptions are correct, than the black wasn't rubbed off, rather green bled onto the black. Then comes the second eye shine. It is at the bottom of the pupil, and it looks like there is black underneath. The bleeding green goes around it and reaches the normally placed shine. And that is it. I would really appreciate some help! Thank you for reading! Also, I would post pictures if I could but I don't have photobucket or an image hosting service and can't get one. Thanks again!

Hello, everyone, my name is Safflower! I am new to the arena and really happy to be here. I live in the U.S. and have loved MLP since I can remember. I was first introduced to ponies when my mom bought me the Twinkle Wish Adventure movie  I also had some McDonald's G3 ponies at the time, but no actual G3s, lol! I slowly grew out of MLP until I saw FiM. I watched it when it first came out and played the games on the Hub's website. I still watch FiM to this day. And of course, with a new generation came new McDonald's ponies! I had a lot of the G4 McDonald's toys, and I still had my G3s from McD's, so I played with those! Like with G3, I had no actual G4s. About a year ago, around the beginning of June, my mom and I went to an antique mall. I had heard of previous generations, and... decided they looked weird and I didn't want any. Well, was I going to be proven wrong! One of the sellers had a basket of G1s! I looked through it and saw they were WAAY overpriced for their condition. Adults were $8, babies were $5. Most had nail polish on their hooves and lips, some had marks, and most had smooze or fading. I chose 3: Magic Star, DJ, and blue Baby Ember! They were the ones in the best condition. Once I saw them in person, I really loved them, so I spent the whole day researching them! I found the arena, the TP, mlw, Ponyland Press, and the MLP preservation project! I cleaned them up the following day and styled their hair. I kept reading the posts on the arena daily, but never thought to make an account! I finally realized that I should, so here I am! I can't take pictures of my collection, but here's a list: DJ, Magic Star, Ember, Italian Cotton Candy, Little Flitter, Sea Shimmer, BBE Lickety Split, Sunnybunch, Starflower, Moonstone, Sundance, Nibbles Dibbles, Dancing Butterflies, Baby Lofty, May Lily of the Valley, Sprinkles, Medley, Applejack, My Pretty Pony (White) and a baby Yo-Yo! Thank you for reading! I look forward to being a member here!
