My unprofessional and maybe bad for the pony suggestion:When I got the scented rainbows, I was fatigued and lazy and I just slapped them on my desk. I'll shelve them later, I said. My desk had the AC in and they were there for at least a week.When I went to shelve them, I went to sniff Moonstone (THE BEST scent and I will stand by this) and I found that her scent had pretty much faded. I haven't seen any pony discolor or otherwise become damaged since. Perhaps some sort of cold would help to remove the scent? I guess you could leave them in a car for a bit if it's cold over there and see if it sucks the scent out. If you don't want to risk that stuff then you will want to de-box them if you are very worried about the scents discoloring them. It will be much better for them to be out in the open than it would in the box.
Its kinda sad that hasbro made ponies that could last decades and basic fun ponies can get ruined within months... Anyway I have no experience with basic fun ponies as I dont intend to collect them. Just keep your ponies dry and cool.
It happened to me too! I ordered what the seller sold as the “scented” set, but got surprised when the unscented set got here instead! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI do think that tailrusted’s suggestion may work, since our pony room’s been cold lately, and I can barely smell the artificial scent (it’s only noticeable when you really hold them real close)
I don't think the smell fading will save them from discoloration . . . What makes them discolor is whatever oil or product is put on their bodies (or possibly melted directly into their plastic).But anyway, not all the scented ones discolor . . . I have a bunch of them because I bought extras of some (I wanted them both in and out of packaging) and out of all of them, only one (a Parasol) has discolored. And not even very much, just a little around her neck. And my other Parasol is fine.The one who discolored is in her package, but others I have that are in their packages haven't discolored soooo . . . *shrug*A lot of pony problems are related to heat, like age spots, so I would keep them out of heat in case that's a factor.

It sounded like an "I will only buy it if X". Hasbro has done the same thing in the past and it's also lead to discoloration, and it's not like the year 3 rainbows fair any better than their scented friends from a few years later.
