I currently have the G3 shower curtain, curtain hooks, and bath rug, and I'm looking for more bath accessories to add to the bathroom! I'm especially in search of the Pinkie Pie toothbrush holder and the bath sets that include poufs and suction cup hangers.
I am also interested in various other G3 merchandise that would hold up well in a bathroom, such as solid figurines.

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, I drew Abra-ca-dabra!

I recently bought a Spunky that has a haircut (the front half of her mane is almost completely gone) and I'm looking to rehair her. How long are her mane and tail supposed to be?

Today must've been my lucky day because I thrifted some G1s for the very first time! I've found them at flea markets and antique stores, but never while thrifting! The bag they were in was just $2. And they're in amazing shape! Dancing Butterflies just has a tiny stain above her display side eye, while Zig Zag has no noticeable flaws after being cleaned up. I'm over the moon!

A couple of weeks ago I walked to my local Ross to browse around. They had two of the My Magical Princess Twilight Sparkle toys in stock, and immediately I knew I'd be going back for her. Today was that day! I checked a different location first since I was already in that shopping center earlier, and they didn't have her their, but when I went back to the one I first saw her at, they still had two of her. The employees seemed happy to see her go

Yesterday I picked up a lot of G3 ponies from a local seller. I'm really excited because many of these ponies are ones I've been wanting for quite some time! The lot contains mostly standard G3 ponies, plus some accessories, Ponyville ponies, and a Ponyvill playset. There's also a Strawberry Shortcake horse, some McD's G4s and some Lalaloopsy ponies. The duplicates plus anything else I don't want will be given to my niece. They're still drying from their spa day but here's a photo of some of them for now.

I realized I've never shared my art here, so today I decided to change that. Here's my latest drawing!

Regardless of how many times I tell my family members to leave my stuff alone, they always find a way to ruin a pony or an accessory. Today was just one of those days I guess.
My sister broke the rubber band from the little viking hat that comes with the G4 School of Friendship playset. I know it's just a tiny little accessory, but I'm distraught over this. I'm probably overreacting, but I'm so particular about my things being mint.
I really want to replace the rubber band and fix it. But I don't know how. Is there a way to replace it without having to tie it and having a knot show through?

The sun is getting very strong where I live, and I've been wanting to attempt to sunfade my yellowed Baby Starbow.
I'm just worried about her burning out in the sun. I've heard that the white ponies with the more translucent plastic are prone to burning, and my Starbow is made out of that slightly translucent plastic.
Would a hydrogen peroxide soak be safer for her? Or is it still too risky? I've heard this stuff can damage hair as well, and I don't want to risk that.

I've got some MOC View-Master reels I'd like a price check for. It's in very good shape save for a mark on the back.

This spring I plan on sun fading a few of my ponies that desperately need it. Some are yellowed, and others have stains. Many of these ponies are white, and seeing that some ponies are known to "burn" in the sun makes me worried.
The ponies I'm working on are :
G1 Baby Starbow
G1 Paradise (deflocked, has major brown spots)
G1 Baby Soft Steps
G3 Blossomforth
G3 Strawberry Swirl
G3 Seaspray
I plan on using hair cream with hydrogen peroxide instead of soaking them or just leaving them out in the sun as they are. Will that have any affect on them? And of course I'll be covering up hair and all painted areas.

For the past hour I've been trying to add images to my signature and... nothing is working. I'm using the image code and a link from imgur and everything else shows up except for the image. The code looks just fine, it just does not want to work. Is there something I should try to fix this?

I stumbled upon a 1998 Furby mint in box at Half-Price Books today for just $8! As soon as I got home, I opened it up and put batteries in. And... nothing. I followed the instructions it came with and pressed down on the tongue while holding down the reset button. Still nothing. I also gave it a few shakes and pats with no luck.
After some googling, I decided to try going through the top of the beak and spinning the gears that way, but then I noticed something. The corkscrew gear (I believe that's what it's called) is loose and moving around inside!
I know I'll have to open the poor thing up now, but I'm unsure of what to do beyond that. Will I need to replace this gear that is loose or can it simply be put back into place? I'll try to post some pictures once I've got it all disassembled.

I've got a few ponies that I've had for a good while now, but I haven't bothered figuring out how much they're worth yet. Can anyone help me out?
G1 Starglow, very nice condition. No visible flaws, still glows
G1 TAF Yum Yum, nice pink hair. Small stain on display side back leg, not very noticeable.
G1 Caramel Crunch, still scented, amazing factory curls, slight head/body mismatch that isn't very noticeable
G3 Kimono dressed as Belle, MIB
G4 Pinkie Pie's Boutique Pinkie Pie and Wysteria, both MIP
G4 Chinese New Year Pinkie Pie, MIB, box has some wear to it
If anyone can help me out, that would be great!

A while back I had to do some partial rehairs on ponies that were missing forelocks and tails. I ordered Hanks of the hair that Dollyhair.com said we're a match, however compared to the original hair of the ponies, they look slightly different.
I bought Automic Turquoise for Bubbles, and it's darker than the rest of her hair.
I then got Heartthrob for Sweet Tooth, and this color seems too vibrant or dark compared to the rest of her hair.
Is this due to fading, or are the colors on Dollyhair incorrect? If so, which colors do these ponies really need?
