Title: Thrift find Mimic! *Edit, cleaned up!*
Post by: Firecracker on October 19, 2018, 01:50:39 PM

Woot!  I dropped by the thrift store with my SO today on a whim, and I found a bag of ponies with a distinctly green girl... Mimic!  I don't collect much anymore, but this girl was not one I ever thought I'd have based on price.  I paid $3 for her and a couple other ponies (Princess Primrose and G3 Starcatcher).  Also MH Dawn of the dance draculaura was also a nice find.

I'm pretty sure Mimic will clean up great, I haven't had a pony spa day in years, hehe!  I'll be sure to post another pic when she's cleaned up  :biggrin:

Holy cow, WOW!!! Congrats! What a find! :D

Mimic is one I don't ever expect to have in my collection, either. Her price is rather ridiculous if you ask me. ;)

Congrats! I think finding a Mimic or Rapunzel (or both! lol) is a G1 collector's dream :D How amazing!

I love reading thrift finds like this! I very very rarely see MLP in the thrift stores here, and if I do, it's a random McD or G3.5. This is such a great find!

 :dropjaw:  How did you manage to keep it together in the store?  I would have a hard time not jumping up and down and making people think I'm nuts.  XD  Congrats you are so lucky!  She looks like she will clean up very nice, I can't wait to see pics of her after spa day.  Can I stand near you so some of your luck might rub off on me?  Hehehe!  ;)

Thank you, everyone!  I'm still kind of shocked to be honest.  I was also so excited yesterday that she took a lot of my attention, so here's the result of Pony spa day!

She cleaned up amazingly!  No rubs to her paint/blushing, her hair is fine and still pink, ahh!  Really, the only thing really wrong with her seems to be a bit of orange/red staining on her throat.

Even then it's not super distracting, and I could always sun fade her at some point.  She's just such a delightful pony, I'm so fond of her!

Wow!  What an amazing find!  This gives me hope that G1s are still showing up in the wild, even after so much time has passed since their release.  She looks like she is in GORGEOUS condition too.  Major congrats :cheer:

Could the stain be a factory 'error'? It has the same color as the blush, at least it looks like it in the picture. So maybe is something like that.  I have a few ponies that have factory paint/blush in other places of the body by error/slip and I find it funny in the good sense.
