So helpful! I really like seeing all the steps with the pictures - it makes it less intimidating to think of doing something like that myself.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about the others, but the baby in the pink outfit is Baby Beans by Mattel! There's some info about the line here: http://www.dollinfo.com/feat04Beans.htm

Wow, thank you all so much for your help!  These are FANTASTIC tips! You guys are amazing. It's really encouraging to think there's actually something that can be done about these poor ponies - honestly, it's felt a bit hopeless and insurmountable, so I'm really happy to get all this advice. I'll try to start with a small batch soon and post back when I have some results.

So, without going into the nitty gritty details, I have in my possession a very large quantity of G1 ponies, accessories, ponywear, plush, etc. that are VERY stinky and likely moldy. They were stored in a poorly ventilated area for 15+ years and acquired a really bad mildewy smell. I've even spotted some ponies that have black mold spots on the inside (and possibly outside). And when I say "large quantity", I mean around 10 big garbage bags stuffed full! These poor ponies have seen tough times, but I'd really like to try to save as many of them as I can. Despite sounding so awful, most look like they'd just need to be washed, except the moldy interior problem. And the really awful, persistent smell.  As a test case, I soaked a bunch of the hard plastic brushes, combs, etc. in warm soapy water for hours, rinsed, and soaked in vinegar for about a day, and it made only a little difference. So I'm pretty intimidated by trying to save the actual ponies. I tried scrubbing a Posey and noticed that the plastic itself seemed like it had absorbed the mildewy smell and had little black spots that wouldn't come off. Not encouraging.  I'm in a particular bind at the moment as I'm extremely busy, and don't have time to work on such a huge project. And I don't have anywhere safe to store them until they get a little cleaned up and smelling better. So I was hoping there would be a "first pass" sort of thing I could try, so that they can go in storage until I have time to really work on them. But even if that isn't realistic, I'm all ears on how to clean them up! I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi Dee! From what I recall, those minis were released in early 2014 in the US. From the sound of it, NZ is quite behind! I think Pearly Seafoam and Goldie Luxe are from autumn 2013. Sorry I can't help more. Maybe try looking on US Amazon - not sure if they ship overseas - I've been able to order from Amazon Japan, etc to the US without issue, so maybe it would work for you. The "Lalaloopsy Celebration" line with glittery Crumbs, Mittens, etc. just released here. The other newest lines are a set of musical-themed minis, seasonal-themed minis, and a few big dolls (honeybee and poodle). A pretty good site to keep track of all the dolls is: http://lalaloopsyland.wikia.com/wiki/Lalaloopsy_Land_WikiGood luck!

I think it's very cute! I love centaurs, and there are so few out there in the toy world. That face reminds me of baby dolls from the '60s and earlier - it wouldn't surprise me if this 'fakie' predated MLP! It's even a bit like Sindy. In any case, it's a unique find! Congratulations

These girls are going to be discontinued? I've seen a few of them in a Toys R' Us... should I buy a Tula or an Una before the store runs out of them?
They are discontinued - meaning, they won't be making any more and most stores have stopped carrying them. If you want any, buy them now! Tula is my favorite, and I bet you won't regret getting such a unique doll.

I'm disappointed in these new ones. Not my taste at all, but that's okay -- that means I have more money for other dolls!

I recently acquired a few G1 ponies with their original bright pink hair -- Up Up and Away, Wind Whistler, etc. I know the pink fades easily, and I want to keep as much as of the original color as possible. Does anyone have any tips on protecting it? I'll keep the ponies out of the sun obviously, but does displaying them on a shelf (in other words, not in the dark) put them at risk too? These seem like funny questions but I just don't want anything to fade these beautiful ponies!

Great find! They're not as cute as the regular dolls, but I like them. Their eyes don't look as glittery, but maybe it's just not showing up in the photos. I can't wait to see photos of them dressed up in their extra outfits -- particularly the skeleton!

My Walmart had a few of the Black Friday packs leftover, and they were on sale for $9.50.

That looks fantastic! What a great idea. Good DSi color choice, too
