Pony Corral / Clay figure repair

I got this Fluttershy figure from Nazegoreng/NazFX years ago. It survived shipping from Australia and two drops onto a cement floor without completely shattering, though as you can see it's been superglued one too many times. Her mane fell off with a light touch.
Any ideas as how I can reattach her mane? Or at least remove those old bits of superglue so I can try that again?
Thanks

Pony Corral / Painted/stained shelves and displaying toys

Eventually those shelves will get stained. What would y'all do to prevent stains from transferring onto toys? My parents have this clear contact paper they use in their kitchen cupboards, which I'll consider, and am wondering if there's other options.
Thanks

Fished this beauty out of a pony pile at the Treasures Antique mall in Cookeville, TN. I haven't been collecting as much lately, been trying to trim down my collection, so something really has to stand out in order for me to get it. Twilight here doesn't disappoint, great condition as well.

Also picked out this other... creature as well. I like the looks of it, though there's no identifying marks other than an H on one hoof and Made in Vietnam on a leg. Anyone have any ideas as to what this is?

These are both thrift store rescues. Cleaned them up gently. Blossom's previous owner gave her a haircut. Both plushies have light scratches on eyes. Good condition otherwise. MLP Fair 2014 tote bag thrown in for free.
Make an offer, tack on shipping.

Another thrift store rescue. The glue holding the plastic sections was filthy, cleaned it up w/ Goo Gone. Reattached the plastic w/ masking tape. Cleaned the rest of it up, some missing laminate and cardboard. Make an offer, tack on shipping.

Lot includes a limited edition art book "Vault of Magic" featuring works by IDW artists Andy Price, Tony Fleecs, Trish Forstner and Sara Richard. As far as I know, this was only available as part of a VIP dinner package with the above artists, held during Bronycon 2019.
Been sitting in my closet for years. Selling them as a lot, no picking and choosing.

Price breakdown for this lot of IDW comics:
-Shipping costs about $9 via USPS media mail.
-I'm going to estimate a $40 price tag on that Vault of Magic art book, on account of it's rarity. I'm open to negotiaion, but probably won't budge too much on the price.
-Taking those points into account, feel free to make an offer on the whole lot.

-should be a mostly complete Series 1 binder/card collection. Only missing official autograph cards and convention promo's. Some cards have been bent in the binder
-Complete series 1 & 2 dog tag collection, w/ binders. Commons, gold/silver colored tags, the harder to find metal tags.
-Looking to get rid of my common cards as well. Packed in some of those boxes. Sold with them as well. Would prefer to sell all of this as a lot... though shipping might get pricey. I'll consider offers on individual items

As always, make an offer and I'll work with it. Might be a day or so before replying due to work.

Pony Corral / Displaying woes

So I bagged up several of my G1 ponies with even the slightest hint of plasticizer leakage. Having those bagged ponies on my shelf just looks bad, and I"m getting a bit sick of it.
One one hand, I don't want the plasticizer issue to spread, but I also don't want to hide them in a closet or other out of the way location. These lovelies deserve to be displayed.
What to do...

Big thanks to PlanetPlush for this cutie. Comes with thick wires in her limbs/tail for posing purposes, but I'm going to leave her as is.

Went back to the Treasures Antique mall in Cookeville TN. Bought this Windy plush, baby Cuddles, G4 Twirly Treats (Haircut & pigtails) and a couple G4 variants I don't have yet.

Is that tiny bird clip part of the Fairy Tails line? Didn't see any pics of it on My Little Wiki.

-G3 Aurora Mist, TE Galaxy, Cranberry Muffins
-G4: Muffins, Starlight with that glittery bow, Minty, I think that's a playskool AJ, and a older Fluttershy blindbag.

Aurora Mist and galaxy were pretty gross, though it seems like they'll clean up well. That brown fuzzy scum on Aurora came right off after a brief Dawn scrub.

On another note, anyone know who this G4 Blindbag is? First blindbag I've found whose symbol isn't just paint.

I can make room for that plush

https://data.mlpmerch.com/wishlist/2928/
Added some Basic Fun G1 retro toys, I have room for around 11 more MIB Basic Fun toys

Regarding the Cutie Mark Crew AJ toys mentioned on my MLPMerch wishlist, I'd prefer both the toys and accessories, as a lot of the pony molds themselves are the same. Accessories at least add some variety.

McD Minty was a horrible mess, had one of those scrunchy/hairband things tied up for years. McD pony hair seems to be easy to smooth out, compared to other ponies.
The end of Blueberry Baskets tail is still a mess, I've yet to buy some fabric softener to see if that works. Been using conditioner and a flat iron. Least her mane came out great.

G1- Blueberry Baskets and Peachy. Both pretty dirty, and Blueberry Baskets coat isn't very blue.

Couldn't remember which of those Loyal Subjects G1's I already had, so I now have two Mintys, Glory and Sundance.

I only recognize Minty and Rainbow Dash out of those G3's, I'll ID them later.

Also some G4 blindbags, but those were sold at retail price. $10 a bag, and with that many bags, it's not worth it to me at the moment.

Pony Brag Arena / Treasure trove at the Treasures Antique Mall
« on: November 26, 2019, 03:29:12 PM »
Caved in and bought another handful of ponies. Most of the G1's are in rough shape, that so soft has a chewed off hoof and needs a good scrubbing. And that red-haired baby I got has a case of rust. Everypony else is just filthy, some seem to have plasticizer issues. Until I get around to cleaning them, I've a fairly large backlog of pony toys that need cleaning, they went into quarantine.

Also got a G1 MLP carrying case, in reasonable condition. Bit of TLC is all it really needs.

Pony Brag Arena / Ponyville Ciderfest 2019
« on: November 11, 2019, 02:40:27 PM »
First time at this con. Had some vacation time to spare, and Ciderfest was the only con left this year. That and I've got a cousin in Milwaukee who I haven't seen in years.

$200 for a round trip flight, can't beat that. Only drawback was the way home, 6ish hours of waiting in MKE and Atlanta airports. Least the flight back to Nashville arrived at the same time it left.

Roommates were cool, hung out a few times before/during the con itself.

PaperPony's no longer going to cons due to a new job situation. Had to grab an AJ shadowbox. Con VIP poster signed by a few guests.
Sunni Westbrook's PVCF badge. She and Claire tossed theirs at the audience during closing ceremonies, me and two others grabbed Sunni's at the same time. They let me have it, thankfully.
<3 Andy Price's sense of humor. Gave him the prompt "Pineapplejack" for a sketch.

Obligatory Fallout Equestria loot. Artbooks, a Littlepip scarf, a Wandering Sunrise plush, and Dead Tree v2. Fun fact, Fiaura got that novel declared a legal parody by the state of Virginia. Sent in the legal paperwork while Hasbro was busy with S9, and they didn't notice until it was too late. Think she said something about Dead Tree being in the Library of Congress.

Plushies of course. Muffins, MLP MSP and PVCF mascots. Got a thing for collecting con mascot plushies even though I have no room for them.

Peanut butter/bacon burger from AJ Bombers. Surprisingly good, I tend to go for exotic and unique flavors, this didn't disappoint. And those fried cheese curds were amazing!
AJ Bombers is a great restaurant. They have these zeppelins on rails that drop a payload of peanuts into bowls.

And finally a pic of the ballroom at the Hilton, where PVCF will be held next year. Almost too fancy for a pony con, there was talk about renaming the con Canterlot Ciderfest.

Overall had a 11/10 experience at PVCF, gonna try to go again next year.

Not perfect, but much better than before. Still bits of frizz, least it's a lot smoother and shinier.

Pony Corral / dealing with rust and other issues
« on: September 27, 2019, 10:21:42 AM »
Found a G1 Applejack at an antique mall, her washer had disintegrated and she was covered with rust inside, and some appeared outside as well. That isn't scrubbing off.
Saw someone use oxiclean and hot water to deal with rust, is that gonna cause issues with the glue holding her mane?

Said applejack also has orange apples. I haven't seen any variant of AJ with orange apples, least on my little wiki. Reckon i'll have to paint them red if I ever get this AJ cleaned up.

How does one get rid of ink or marker stains?

I've a Lemon Drops whose hooves are shiny/sticky. Is this plasticizer leakage?

Thanks
