Ahaha, I was noting that with "display"- usually you only see one side. I have a Sweet Pocket who displays mint/near, but she has Sharpie marks hidden from view!

Are you planning to try to sunfade/whatever her or leave her as-is?

  haha yeah ok haha she displays fine! I have never sunfaded ponies, how is that done? I have heard about it, but I myself have no experience doing it.

And Posey! I took several pics of her. The complete album can be found here ---> http://s1284.photobucket.com/user/SockThiefMarce/library/Nirvana%20Sales/Mexican%20Posey%20with%20Light%20Purple%20Hair?sort=3&page=1

She did clean up nicely, but truth be told, my camera doesn't capture the highlight marks very clearly, and they are a bit worse than it shows in the pics.

  I seldom take risks, but this one was worth it! HAHAHA! You are a good observer, this Posey lacks eyelashes!

It's fairly simple, but kind of risky. I personally have never done it, but I read up on it a lot because I had some pretty discolored ponies. You'd have to test it first to know if your pony is on the "safe" list- some "tan" or develop cancer everywhere and some overfade.
Basically you cover the pony with the affected area exposed (if you are fading a whole pony, cover only hair/eyes/symbols etc.) and stick it in a window for a month or so (give or take depending on the severity of what is being faded off and the length and intensity of sunshine available). Paper towels under aluminum foil works best, but the foil can get hot and melt hair/etc. if  not properly checked on. Some painter's tape can be used, but some kinds bleed color into the pony. To cover things, a thick layer of white acrylic paint is reported to be okay and easily removed with rubbing alcohol with no damage. I'm skeptical, as a family friend said that she took the symbols off with rubbing alcohol because she didn't like them.  But most people who've used it say it works fine. If it's a full-body fade (even if it's a few marks, the body may be faded to help keep color even), a mirror behind the pony helps. Just rotate and keep an eye on them. To test them before fading, use the bottom of a foot for a month or so. If you feel good about it, then expose the marks and have at it. Good luck if you do try!
To be honest, though, that wouldn't be necessary if they came off with a Magic Eraser. They're make of an abrasive sponge-like glass crystal stuff, and are MIRACLES for cleaning ponies and really anything else. Another alternative is a hydrogen peroxide or Oxiclean soak, but they require breaking any neck seal you've got going on there.

Selling? Perhaps $0.50-1 each.
