Mine is kind of a bittersweet story at first. When I was 16 and newly in collecting again (I'm 27 now), my mom bought me Brazilian collector's pose Gusty off of eBay as a birthday gift. She was my first nirvana. I was so excited about getting her and wanted to win so badly. I was so happy when I won the auction for only about $60, which was affordable. I remember the seller was someone called roreri. The pony was very white in the picture, but when she arrive she had all these purple blotches all over her that looked ingrained in the plastic. I contacted the seller asking for partial refund and she blamed me, saying I changed the pony and wanted partial refund. In in the end, she never would refund me and I left me only negative ever for a seller.
But the good news is, over time, these mysterious splotches disappeared! So the story has a happy ending after all.
Still wonder how she got them. She's been one of my most treasured ponies in my collection for all these years.
