They have been rehaired, repainted, and their necklaces were sculpted from scratch! visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login 33

Hehe! It is a fun site, huh! I found it when I was trying to figure out how much Jem and the Holograms dolls cost in the 1980's.

Here's one more reply that I received from Hasbro:
Hello Maria, Thank you for your email. Regrettably, as Stephanie mentioned, the levels information is not available. Please be advised that our products are free from Phthalates in material and paint. We believe based on scientific evidence that PVC in toys presents no health risk to children. Hasbro’s toys are designed to be compliant with all current laws around the world, including those relating to PVC. For more information on PVC, please go to www.cpsc.gov and to www.toy-tia.org. 41

Here's the response that I got from Hasbro:
Thank your for your patience while we researched My Little Pony for you. My Little Pony, both old and new, do contain PVC and chlorine. Regrettably, the levels information is not available. They do not contain any of the other ingredients you inquired about. Please let us know if you need additional assistance. (I had also asked about what levels of Phthalates, Lead, Chlorine, Cadmium, Arsenic, Mercury, Bromine, Chromium, Tin, and Antimony are in My Little Pony toys if any) Also, this link looks informative and is on PBS's website, I'm just starting to read it. http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/412/toxins-in-toys.html I also asked Hasbro to try to provide me with more information about how much PVC and chlorine are in the ponies. Edit: I just read this: Phthalates have been banned in the European Union since 2005. Nine other countries, including Japan, Mexico and Argentina, have also outlawed the chemicals. China, which makes 85 percent of the world's toys, has developed two manufacturing lines, one for the European market and the other like-minded nations that ban phthalates, and another one for the United States and dozens mostly developing and third world countries that don't restrict them. http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/412/ban-phthalates.html Do you think that means that My Little Ponies sold in Europe have less toxins in them than ones sold in the United States? 42
Pony Corral / Re: Toxic Chemicals in Our Ponies?« on: November 27, 2012, 01:06:54 PM »I think this is this kind of topic where people become a bit polarised and the discussion is reduced to a series of contradictory anecdotes, opinions and sometimes name-calling. It becomes almost impossible to form an informed opinion. Thanks for your advice here. I agree with other people that the healthystuff website is frustrating because it doesn't really say if these levels are dangerous or what their ratings really mean. Whippycorn, I'm interested in knowing what your book says about Chlorine, Bromine, Phthalates, and PVC in general if it has that in it. I'm also wondering about acrylic and polyester... Thanks! 43
Pony Corral / Re: Toxic Chemicals in Our Ponies?« on: November 26, 2012, 05:58:36 PM »I sometimes wonder if the toxins in so many of our every day ordinary objects are responsible for my badly functioning thyroid. Something I probably will never know, I suppose. These two chemicals are listed as affecting the thyroid on the website I was looking at that started my thinking about all of this Decabromodiphenyl ether (decaBDE) and 1,2,5,6,9,10-Hexabromocylcododecane (HBCD) If you want to read more they are listed at the bottom if this page: http://raisingnaturalkids.com/2011/11/25/tis-the-season-for-clean-toys-green-toys-and-toys-made-close-to-home/ 44
Pony Corral / Re: Toxic Chemicals in Our Ponies?« on: November 26, 2012, 05:47:39 PM »Very interesting topic! I actively try to minimize toxins in my environment (for example, I mix almost all my cosmetics and hygiene products myself from scratch), but I haven't thought about them being in my plastic toys. I avoid keeping food and drink in plastic containers, but I guess it might be a risk to just hold or be around such plastics. I appreciate your comment. I have been trying to minimize the toxins around my family as well. I actually do all sorts of things like eating organic food, being really picky with the soaps and cosmetics I use, and trying to use less plastic to store food in and so on. I'm just concerned that ponies apparently have phthalates coming out of them and I am unhappy to learn that they have PVC additives in them because the process of making PVC releases dioxin into our environment which is bad for all of us. Something that I want to figure out here would be... are vintage ponies more safe for kids to play with because they may have off gassed or something like that? Or maybe they were made with out PVC additives? Also, I need to decide if I should buy more of the current Friendship is Magic My Little Ponies new from the store. A big part of why I was buying them was so my daughter could play with them. I haven't herd anything back from Hasbro yet. I know that there are toxins all around us, but I don't think there's anything wrong with minimizing our contact with them. Also, I think it's fair to be concerned that there are toxins in the toys we give to our children. If anyone else is feeling the same concern that I am, then maybe you can write to Hasbro about your concerns as well. So far I'm defiantly feeling uncomfortable with fakies, because many of them are obviously lower quality than MLP and I think it's more likely that their manufacturers are cutting corners with production. Edit: I just wanted to add that some plastics are less toxic than others, like #2 food grade plastic is supposed to be less toxic than #3 PVC... so I'm not really saying that all plastics are evil here. I think some are better than others. This is why TY started using PE pellets in their beanie babies instead of PVC pellets. 45

I just wanted to add that I found this website that has tested ponies... you can see the results here:
