This past Tuesday, my mom and I went to a thrift store that actually had toys to dig through. So many of the thrift stores in my area carry no toys (maybe for legal reasons?) Mom found several G4s in the bins and I found some more. Some were in sad shape (a Pinkie Pie with one side colored entirely blue
). We picked up the ponies (and creatures) below:
My mom may have bought some of the sad G4s; I just picked up this Rarity, and this G3 baby and Funko Bon Bon, who also has paint all over her that hopefully can be removed. (Any tips?) And of course, there are two G3 fakies and a 1980s Pound Puppy (who will be for sale). And a Goomba.

It was so nice to find a G1 in the wild. I think the last time that happened for me was this time a year ago at a school rummage sale. She looks nice overall!

While I'm at it, here's part of my Little Pretty collection. They relax on one of my shelves most of the day, watching TV.

I didn't know how cute Creamsicle was until I saw her in person.

They're really amazing. They look like they were debagged by a collector, as their ribbons are all there and they are mint.
