While browsing my local collectibles shop today, I stumbled across a mail order Star Hopper and grabbed her immediately! I'm so happy, I love this pony, but she sells higher than I can afford without stalking the auctions that come up.

Happily, she's in pretty great shape aside from a bit of pink nail polish on the bottoms of her feet, something rattling around inside (but no tail rust I can see), and...she smells like DEATH.

I don't know where she was stored but oh my god, she smells horrible, like must and mothballs and dead rats. Does anyone have any tips to deal with this? I've never washed a pony and I'm kind of afraid to, given I don't want to ruin her tinsel hair, but I'll try if if someone can give me tips!

Hi all! I had to sell off the majority of my collection years ago when I decided to return to school for a late degree. I am finally in a position to start collecting again, and looking to start with my two favorite sets. As such, I'm currently looking for the summer/windy wings and the big brother ponies! Looking to find these in good condition with clean, uncut hair and no major flaws. For the brother ponies, I would LOVE to find them with hats (at the very least) and bandanas, but I will absolutely cosider purchasing these separately, if you only have the pony OR any accessories.

I am most particularly looking for Windy Wing Flurry, and Big Brother Chief (with hat and bandana if at all possible), but here is the full list of who I still need:

SUMMER WINGS:
Sky Dancer
Glow

WINDY WINGS:
Flurry 
Moon Jumper
Whirly
Cool Breeze

BIG BROTHER:
Chief + hat + bandana
Barnacle + hat + bandana
Wigwam + hat + bandana
Quarterback + hat + bandana
Slugger + hat + bandana
4-Speed + hat + bandana

BIG BROTHER ACCESSORIES ONLY:
Tex's bandana
Salty's hat and bandana

Thanks so much for helping me re-start my oldest and most cherished collection!!

My favorite customs always seem to be the ones that come from books characters, but there aren't many of them that I've seen. It's hard, because whenever I want a commission, I always want to ask for favorite book characters but how do you ask for something that the artist has probably never read? 

(I recently worked up the courage to get past that and ask for one anyway and I'm pretty psyched about it but STILL, it's an issue!)

ANYWAY I haven't been around in a long time...I'd love to see any cool book characters who have been given new life as ponies! Anyone have any to share?
