I've been on MLP Arena for a month now! I love sharing my newest My Little Ponies, however, I don't want to constantly post about them. It's time-consuming and repetitive.
So, I have an idea: At the end of each month, I'll do one big update and show everything I obtained together. It'll be a great way to document progress on my collection, too! I'll name each pony, and rate their condition alongside a brief description for fun.
:newpony:
January 18th was my birthday and the month before was Christmas, so my haul is unusually impressive thanks to presents and gift money. There's thirteen ponies, and one MIB item: The first of my collection, actually!

Spoiler

MIB G3 Hidden Treasure Set
Condition: 7.5/10 - Everything inside has never been tampered with or removed, but the box is a little beat-up.

G3 Lily Lightly
Condition: 8/10 - Near immaculate hair, symbols, and dress! However, her battery compartment is a bit corroded, and the second red light doesn't work. If you read my post asking about fixing that, I've officially decided not to attempt a repair. She's too good to risk damaging.

G3 Lulabelle
Condition: 7/10 - She could've been a 10? Unfortunately, her hind legs are squished together and her head is noticeably discolored.

G3 Razzaroo
Condition: 9/10 - Basically perfect, except there's tiny bits of vinyl torn off the side of her face.

G3 Cinnamon Breeze
Condition: 8/10 - WHAT SCRATCHED UP HER LEG SO MUCH? I had to scuff it out with a nail filer! Fortunately, that's the only significant flaw.

G3 Daisy May
Condition: 8/10 - There was weird crud on her hooves and although it cleaned off, there's faint yellow stains left behind. A couple stray marks too. That's it!

G3 Morning Monarch
Condition: 9/10 - She's impressive. Absolutely stunning besides a few, barely notable marks!

G3 Windy Whisp
Condition: 10/10 - What, was she unboxed YESTERDAY? I've looked long and hard, but the only "flaws" are factory paint defects. I could cry gazing upon her perfection...

G1 Sealight
Condition: 6/10 - She's got wear to her paint and ink stains. Her insides cleaned out fairly easily, but the rust was BAD: Her weights still show damage after vinegar treatment. I believe her purple is off-color (it's common), but the head matches her body!

G1 Princess Primrose
Condition: 6.5/10 - Her hind legs are squished together and there's a dent in her neck: was obviously crushed a long time! Also, the iridescent paint on her symbols is VERY gone. If I tame that crinkled tinsel, she'll be a 7.

G1 Princess Starburst
Condition: 8/10 - Absolutely gorgeous hair and her symbols have iridescence left! There's a couple marks along her leg, but her body's perfect otherwise. She won't fall over either!

G1 Princess Royal Blue
Condition: 5/10 - SHE'S SO YELLOWED? I don't know if it's sun fading or what, but it's the worst I've had! There's also a faint, yet sizable purple stain. At the very least, her hair is great and the symbols are OK. Comedically, she stands perfectly despite everything wrong, truly inspirational.

G1 Tropical Breeze
Condition: 8/10 - A couple small stains, and that's kinda it. She's beautiful besides the missing wings, which I replaced with my own custom, glittery design! They're very simple, but match well.

G1 Morning Glory
Condition: 7/10 - I sure LOVE chartreuse-yellow stains! Otherwise, there's just an age spot on her butt and a random pink mark. Once again, I replaced her missing wings with an original design I made myself.

Thanks for checking out my January haul! Did you get anything cool, too? :glitter:

Congrats on a nice group! Their hair looks soooo good, you must be excellent at styling it! Also the comment about the pony being truly inspirational for standing despite everything wrong - hilarious :lol:

It seems there were/are some forum issues, but probably a mod will come along and move the thread for you :)

Here's hoping the thread moves too xxx

And congrats on some adorable finds!!! Your Custom wings look gorgeous & complement your flutters well xxx

Beautiful group. Especially Lulabelle, Princess Starburst, Razzaroo, Tropical Surprise, Windy Wisp, Princess Primrose, Sea Light and Morning Glory. Pretty flutter wings too.

Thank you so much! :biggrin:
I have a "formula" for styling pony hair, it's super straightforward but works. A nice rinse and brushing while there's conditioner lathered in works fast for undamaged hair. If it's dry or frizzy, I use a flat iron heated to "5" on the conditioned, wet hair after brushing (none of these ponies needed that though)!
I also have a bag of tiny curlers I got at a spa/hair care store. Those styled Tropical Breeze, Morning Glory, and Lily Lightly!

They all look great! Wish I were ambitious enough to make wings for my flutters...good job on them!

congrats, those are beautiful!

Beautiful ponies! Congratulations!

Love their hair!
