I love the idea, and your flowers are great!  We kept Sparkleworks and a few others 'tattooed' and fancy because it worked for them.  Believe it or not that pony with the blue flowers drawn on (Peach Blossom) actually had all the blue marker come off and looks great except for some mild discoloration that looks a bit grey but is very unnoticeable!  She is my most successful rehab!

Some of them look good, others not so much.  Like poor Gumdrop with her hot pink body and bright orange legs and blue beard with blue stars all over, and Daffidazey had hot pink in her ears and nose and all over her forehead which made it look like she was bleeding, plus a blue mustache, large yellow patch over her whole neck, yellow chicken pox all over her face and body, and random pink, orange and blue stripes and spots and chicken pox on her body.  Poor girl.

I wish that they all were at least cohesive with a design, some just have big patches randomly or a bunch of lines everywhere.  A couple do work well though, Starflower has V shaped lines that I think were supposed to be flower stems and they look good all over her, kind of tribal almost and it is in a nice complimenting color.  She is the one with the short bobbed tail, and with her haircut and tattoos my daughter said she reminds her of me    One has butterflies all over her, Flower Bouquet I think, that she wants to keep as is because she says the butterflies are pretty and make her happy, so 

If she is sparkly, maybe some crystal clusters as a symbol and a mineral name like Rhodonite or Ruby?  I love Moonstone because her name is one of my favorite gems, and her symbol is cool.
T here are not enough gemstone-ish ponies (this coming from a mineral collector...)

I recently made a start on increasing my Butterscotch collection, & got 25th (falls over so I call her Topplescotch) an Italian (the pale-haired one I call Buttercream) & this 35th one. Her hair is a bright golden yellow rather than the golden brown of the original so I call her Goldenscotch.

I love all of your Scotch names!!! 

Baby bottle brushes are useful for small hard to reach areas, the kind that have a small end for cleaning the nipples.  They can usually be found at the dollar store, and some are very bendy!

Also I would like to see Quackers and Wind Whistler

Wind Whistler, yes please!!!

Oh my gosh, everything is so pretty!!!  I love the shelving, and your collection is amazing!  I bet they are much happier out of storage and proudly on display 

I voted for Fizzy, Gingerbread, Galaxy, and Masquerade.  I love their colors, they are so vibrant and pretty, their symbols are very unique, and we like their characters in the show!  I never had a twinkle eye so it would be nice to be able to get a new one.

Pony Tails were never glued in, they were only held inside the pony with a metal washer. My thought is that perhaps the tails aren't as full as they used to be before or are too sleek so the tail can be slipped inside easier. These ponies are held in place with basically the same system.

Thanks!  I have only one original g1 and she hasn't had an issue with her tail moving.  I had thought the g3s had them glued, we have loads of g3s and they don't budge either.  These must just be very slick, but they are soooooo easy to move!  Skydancer's bow was very loosely attached to the little elastic on her tail so I took the elastic off to reattach her bow better and her tail fell into her body like a centimeter!  I pulled it back out and when the band is on nice and snug against her backside it holds it in place well but I just worry about them sliding around when played with.
