I chose Medley. She was my first pegasus pony and she's music themed! But I like Firefly, too.

Pony Brag Arena / Re: Huge lot of ponies-and some ID/restoration help please

As you can probably tell, I am very very happy with the ponies that I got. However, I would like some help with accessory identification. I managed to sort through everything, but have not figured out what these items are or where they come from. Any pointers would be appreciated!

Congratulations on your awesome lot! I see so many So Soft ponies :happy:

Seems like this yellow cap near the yellow tape player is Barbie's accessory. I had a blue one for my Barbies when I was young. As I can remember it came in a picnic themed accessory set.

Pony Brag Arena / Some REALLY unexpected additions!
« on: June 24, 2020, 05:39:16 AM »
Hi guys!

I know I'm not a very active user, but yesterday I got something that I definitely have to show you!
You know about San Diego Comic Con exclusive ponies and a My Little Pony Project, right? So Junko Mizuno pony was in my wishlist for years. I couldn't afford her because of her high price and I don't buy ponies on Ebay or something because of my location. So I reconciled I never add her to my collection. But... Some days ago I saw a listing on a local advertisement board which included 2008 SDCC Ninja pony, 2011 SDCC Tattoo pony and... JUNKO MIZUNO PONY!  :whoa: And all three were just $11!.. :drunk: :drunk: :drunk: Of course I contacted the seller hoping that none of local collectors have seen the listing yet!

They arrived yesterday and their condition is just awesome. However, Tattoo pony has some hair issues - it breaks in little pieces like green hair of G3 Jazz Matazz. I thought Junko pony was missing her hood, but she arrived with it! I'm glad I don't have to make a new one =)
And here's some photos before bath (yesterday was my birthday so I didn't have time to clean them):

I'm still curious why they were so cheap - seems like the seller knew what she's selling. Maybe she thought that nobody will buy this figures for their real price. And even though you can get anything from any side of the world nowadays I was really surprised to see them in my country.
Thanks for reading!

Well, I left Magic Hat in Vanish for about 4 hours and there's no result. She's as yellow as she was before... Maybe she needs more time in Vanish or I have not the right Vanish. I tried to open her, but glue is very hard.

Thank you all for such good tips!

I think I'll sell one loose Toola-Roola which looks exactly the same as the boxed one and keep this pony in her box. But is there a chance that pony has faded a bit if the plastic of the box has yellowed?

Thanks for so much useful advices about Magic Hat! I'll keep her to practice at restoring. But she also has some brown and bright pink dots on her body that look like pony cancer. I know they won't clean up, but is it safe to keep such pony?

Maybe I'll try to open Silver Swirl to figure out how her electronics work. 

I usually use soap, acetone and shampoo on my ponies. Usually it helps to clean everything, but sometimes not. We don't have here magic erasers, unfortunately.

Pony Corral / Some questions about collection
« on: March 20, 2020, 08:33:40 AM »
I decided to create one theme for all questions I've got to avoid multiposting. So that's what I wanted to ask you, guys:

1) First one: MIB Toola-Roola.
Spoiler

As you can see, the plastic of her box has yellowed and the box overall is pretty damaged. I've bought this pony only because she was MIB but I haven't noticed that the box is in that shape, it was okay in seller's pictures. Now I don't know what to do: I don't want to keep a pony in such damaged package but I don't want to unbox her too because I have one or two Toola-Roolas that look exactly the same. Plus, she's a 25th anniversary pony and that's why I'd like to keep her in box. Maybe I can fix yellowed plastic somehow? I know that it's my decision what to do with her, but what would you do guys?

2) Second: Magic Hat in a very poor condition.

Her body is very yellow and symbols are gone. Her hair is also isn't very well. I really don't know what to do with her =( I don't do customs so I don't need a bait pony. I think nobody in my country will be interested in a pony in such shape... What would you do?

3) Princess Silver Swirl.
Spoiler

I have a light up Princess Silver Swirl, but her horn is broken and doesn't light up anymore. Do you have any ideas how to fix this? I can sculpt another horn, but I want it to light up... Is there a tutorial how to fix such pony? I haven't found one.

4) And the last one, about my entire G1 collection. I noticed some of my ponies need proper restoration like removing tail rust and so on. But... I'm a bit afraid. Especially I'm scared of opening ponies. I know that sometimes it has to be done and there's plenty of tutorials, but I'm afraid I'll do something wrong. Plus, I've never seen such detergents shown in tutorials on sale in my country, so I don't know which ones should I use. Any advice will be really helpful!

Thank you in advance, guys!

I absolutely agree with everyone. Things change with time and it's normal. I remember how glad was I after getting new ponies when I was younger, I could spend a whole day taking care of them! Now when I just don't have so much time for this it doesn't mean there's no more special place for ponies in my heart :) Plus, after almost ten years of collecting I think my collection is nearly completed. I still seek for G1s, need some G3s and Equestria Girls Minis, but they're not the top priority. Sometimes it's really good to take a break in collecting to review everything you've got. Ponies bring more joy if you buy them less frequently :) I don't know about you, but it works for me! Maybe that's because I'm still glad about adding Seashell in my collection :)

I'm playing Starbound, Stardew Valley, Minecraft and all of the Ori games. I like different games but these are my favorites. I've been playing new Ori and the Will of the Wisps yesterday, and it's totally awesome!
