Pony Corral / Should I rehair trimmed forelocks on these ponies?
« on: October 30, 2013, 01:57:52 PM »
Okay... so I have a few ponies that have trimmed forelocks.. two are UK ponies..

Hopscotch
White Tootsie
Tex - US regular release

Their forelocks are basically mohawks... but the rest of their hair and bodies are in pretty good shape... I want to rehair the forelocks to fix their noticeable flaw... but I want to know if that's going to hurt their value significantly if I decide to sell them in the future.

Right now I am planning on keeping Tootsie and Hopscotch, but as I already have a near mint Tex, I'm planning on selling him.

Here are Pictures (please note, I haven't cleaned their bodies yet, most of the marks should come off the bodies):

Tootsie has a few other spots in the mane that have been cut, but it's not as noticable and sits pretty well with the rest of the hair

Tex is gorgeous exept for that stupid forehead mohawk

Hopscotch does have a shorter mane, I believe it's been cut as it's uneven, and her tail is a bit shorter than it should be too I believe... I have considered a full mane rehair on her...

I also have an Italian Moondancer with a mohawk, I'm considering rehairing her mane and replacing her frizzy tail, but again... how would that affect her value? Would a collector rather have original hair in bad shape... or new hair?

So I got my very first perfume puff, but her hair is a mess.... I don't even know where to begin, or if it's saveable at this point

Poor girl ... how do you fix that hair? I'm terrified to try and brush it or wash it, it's dirty and seems like a big mass of cotton...

Here is some before pictures after cleaning her body and I just started brushing the hair a little:

Okay so I finished brushing the hair out... but I'm not so happy with the ends on it, and I'd like to get the mane to lay down... someone said I could iron the hair I think... Will ironing it get it to be a little less poofy and straighten out the frizziness at the tips of the hair a bit? I'm assuming it needs to be on the lowest heat setting? (I use a clothing iron usually on the nylon setting)

Here she is now:... I think she might have had a hair cut too?

Okay so long story, my husband is from Denmark, while he was there last year before moving here he collected a ton of ponies for me. When it came time for him to move to the USA with me, he couldn't fit them in his suitcase, so these ponies have been sitting at my father-in-laws for over a year not getting shipped to me.... His mom  finally went over there, took the ponies and mailed them, and I just got them today!!!!

I'm gonna let you guys be in suspense with me too so I will post pictures as I go through them lol.

Right now it is giant mass of ponies on my floor, I will edit to add as I sort them!

Ooookay... sorting fun, I found some dried mouse poo in some of the hair >_< eeewww but it came out easy, hair will need to be THOROUGHLY sanitized >_< most of the ponies are rather smelly... smoke smell, but I've gotten rid of that smell in the past, and it's not as bad as it was on my last batch... looks like I have some gems in here, but most are in very bad shape. So I've now sorted them by generation :3

I have not the slightest clue what this one is... looks like it might have had wings at one time... kinda cute

Now for the accessories, please help me identify them, I don't even know if they're all my little pony accessories... I don't collect them, so they're all up for sale or trade for any offers not a clue what they're worth, and I don't plan on keeping them... cept maybe the winged saddle o.o...

baby bunny costume:

and a really neat winged saddle o.o

G3s: I don't think there are any rare ones, but there are a few that I've never actually had before so I could be wrong. let me know if I am, cause otherwise all of these girls will be going into my bait box, I'm only going to bother trying to restore those that someone might want for their collection, or if they are rare because I think most of them have hair that is beyond saving without hours and hours and hours of work.

and last of all, my G1s! I found some gems in here, but a lot of them are in pretty bad shape, aside from two of my italians and a couple of the babies aren't too bad, but most have pretty bad hair, a lot of staining, some of bite marks and hair cuts... but I think most are restorable still but I will likely need advice XD

I believe these two are both UK exclusive, baby honeycomb, and I think baby Katie or Suzie?

baby cotton candies, both have chunks missing from their foots

my first perfume puff... not a clue on the name... anyone know how to restore the hair? it's pretty bad
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


My three Italians, Applejack, Tickle (hair cut) and Moondancer o.o

Powder and Pony Bride... I can never seem to find either in really good shape, these both have bad marking

Two concave foot peachies and sundance who is REALLY dirty and one of the peachies has something in it.. which scares me, it rattles but has mass like a bird nest or something inside... I'm scared to open it

Pony Corral / Need Identification on some vintage horses....
« on: October 11, 2013, 10:10:40 AM »
I wasn't sure where to post this, so I'm gonna try here, if it's in the wrong spot mods, please feel free to move it.

I need help Identifying these horses... These were childhood horses I had, so they are from the late 80s, early 90s..... here are pictures, none of them have any markings or anything to indicate where they were made or what brand:

this one I am almost 100% positive is a barbie horse... and I think I remember it came with a teal western saddle and fringed leg warmers...

Off Topic / Finally! Pictures of my Wedding! VERY PIC HEAVY
« on: August 29, 2013, 04:26:42 PM »
So I got married on July 27th this year, and it was great!


Sarahlacewing here on the arena made some special pins for me, but sadly there aren't many pictures of them, I'm trying to get some from other people that took pictures, so hopefully we'll come up with a few. We had subtle star wars and my little pony themes in the wedding, all the girls had pony cutie mark brooches and the guys had star wars pins. we also had a star wars light saber battle in the park afterwards, and there was my little pony music, and star wars music played throughout the night. Hopefully I'll have video to share later, but for now here are a ton of pictures!

The First Sight - we did first sight photos, because we were doing photos before the wedding... the progression in the pictures is quite hilarious, his jaw dropped, he was definitely WOWED lol

Customs / Juno (star cross'd destiny comic) Pony -- PIC HEAVY
« on: May 29, 2013, 06:39:00 PM »
A good friend of mine commissioned me to do a pony version of the main character from Star Cross'd Destiny ( http://www.starcrossd.net/ ), Juno for her to give to the author as a gift. The author bought her a plane ticket to A-kon (both of them are artists and I didn't know they were friends!)

I've been a fan of the comic for quite some time, so I was more than happy to do it for her :3 It was a bit of a rush job, had to be done tonight, and she asked me to do it just a couple weeks ago @_@

it's finally spring too so I can get out to the park for some outdoor pictures, yay!

Customs / What should I do? Raffle, auction or sell?
« on: April 26, 2013, 05:31:07 PM »
I have a bunch of customs that I want to try and sell, raffle off, or auction off... I just don't know if there is even any interest in them at all. I find myself in a bit of an emergency situation.. the problem if you want to know:
Spoiler
My fiance and I just found out how much the petition for permanent residency for him will cost, and we have to get that filed VERY quickly, he can't get a job until that's filed (we have to file an application for working permission after that, and that takes at least 90 days to get approved) I'm drowning in bills trying to support both of us in the mean time, and to top it off we have to come up with over $1,000 for that application... if we don't have the application in here very soon, he will have to go back to denmark on May 23rd and we'll have to start the process all over to get him back into the country again :(...

anyway enough of the problem, on to finding solutions... I want to try and at least raise some of the money from my many customs that I have which I've been wanting to sell for a while, but can't seem to find buyers for, I don't know why *shrug*

I could use some help here in figuring out what I should do to try and get them sold, maybe I'm asking too much for them? maybe my designs aren't what people are interested in? Are my pictures not good enough to showcase them? I have no idea really XD anyways...

I have some of my customs listed here for sale: http://ponyspiration.weebly.com/custom-sales.html

I'm working on getting pictures of other ones as well, any opinions would be much appreciated on how I might be able to get them to sell better. Also if anyone wants to buy them please PM me!

Customs / looking for a g4 bait, any body type
« on: April 02, 2013, 01:05:32 PM »
I'm looking for a standard size g4 bait, can be earth, peg or unicorn, damage to the pony is fine, marks whatever. It will be getting sculpting.

Preferred would be a Pegasus, secondary would be a unicorn.... Also if someone has a random headless Pegasus and a random bodyless unicorn that would be perfect... I will be making an alicorn...

14
I bought a "bait" bubbles, and it turns out she's actually in REALLY good shape... so I'm looking to trade her for a bubbles that is in bait condition. If anyone is looking to upgrade their bubbles, or has a bait that they'd like to trade me... I'd really prefer not to customize this one that is in good shape.

I would prefer a bubbles that has no chew marks or missing pieces of the plastic, the hair can be cut, symbols rubbed (I'd prefer they weren't completely gone though) eye rubs, marks on the body, cancer... I don't really care as far as marks go as it will be getting an FBR, but I would like to use the cutie mark as a guide for the custom since it will have a similar cutie mark.

anyways, if you have a bubbles in bad shape, please let me know!

Customs / In need of a brushable celestia bait
« on: March 27, 2013, 08:23:04 PM »
due to ebay being evil and people jacking the prices way up on Celstia all the time... I find myself unable to buy one on ebay. Does anyone have a brushable Celestia I can purchase or trade for? Either the white or the pink would be fine, the wings can be damaged as well since I'll be removing them anyway, bite marks are fine... markings on the body or anything, that's all fine too. (I'm talking about the celestia body form too, not the one that looks similar to the other ponies)
