Pony Corral / German - Swirly Whirly hair colour
« on: July 25, 2023, 11:07:44 PM »
Hello,

Just curious if anyone has a German Swirly Whirly with blue hair, who can compare/match the blue air with another US my little pony with the same hair colour. I bought another Swirly Whirly that has bad hair so I could reroot her to match her German counter part.

I’m trying to match the colour on ShimmerLocks.com. I have extra “Marina” hair from that site which I think it’s kind of close when I compare the picture, but I’d love to ensure it’s the best match. 

If anyone could help that would be wonderful!

Thanks in advance!

Pony Corral / SS Sundance: Year 4 and 5 flocking versions?
« on: May 18, 2023, 11:55:57 PM »
I just recently purchased a SS Sundance and I expected her to come with the year 4 flocking but she seems to have year 5 flocking.

I checked strawberry reef and it looks like she was a year 4 pony available both in store and  through mail order.

Was the store version year 4 flocking and the mail order year 5 flocking!? I’m curious if anyone knows.

Thanks.

Pony Corral / Vancouver BC - G1 and G3 collectors
« on: February 07, 2023, 09:25:53 PM »
Hello,

I was going to post this in trades but it doesn’t seem very active so I thought I’d get a better response here (MODS please move if you think otherwise).

I’m looking to see if there are any G1/G3 collectors in the Vancouver BC Canada area that are looking to trade. Over the last few years I’ve collected quite a few doubles and thought it would be nice to save on shipping fees and be able to add to our collections without having to pay for shipping while getting rid of our extras.

I only collect G1 and G3 and was hoping there were others in my area that would be open to sharing photos and trading doubles.

Send me a DM or post here if you’re interested :)

Customs / Re-haired MGR Pony Tassels to match back card picture
« on: December 20, 2022, 01:15:19 AM »
I got a bait MGR Tassels with a terrible haircut. I decided since I already had this pony I would re-hair her to match the back-card/MGR game.

As A kid I had Tassles and I never really loved her hair and body colour combo and wished her hair matched the drawings. I actually really didn’t love the MGR ponies as a kid, but I actually love them now.

So I made childhood dream a reality and I re-haired her to match. Here is the picture of her and the back card. :)

Pony Brag Arena / Recent Facebook Market finds!
« on: November 13, 2022, 01:13:54 AM »
Usually Im not so lucky with FB market place, I always seem to miss out on the posts by a few hours and someone snags it first, even lately I’ve been out bid on Ebay deals (most recently a $200 lot with Mimic and a windy/summer wing pony lot.

But this weekend, I’ve been very lucky, I found e great deals on lots.

I saw a lot of  45 ponies for $25 CDN that was mostly G3’s (most I had) and fakies, but after zooming in I spotted Mail Order Flutter Pony Hollywood, as well as Flutter Lily, Paradise Baby Beach Ball, SS Frilly Frocks and a Merry Go Round Pony Tassels (with a bad hair cut). It was hard to gauge their condition but I jumped on it anyways. I got the ponies today and they were pretty rough, most of the G3’s have matted hair, (I think I can save a couple (thankfully the ones I don’t have).

Thankfully, the G1’s were actually in a lot better shape then the G3’s and 95% of the marks on them came off.  I’ll post some pictures of a few of them once their hair dries.

The second one was $60 USD for a lot of 22 ponies. (Haven’t received this in the mail yet)

Sea Breeze
Tootie Tails
Mainsail
Sunspot
Brilliant Bloom
Star Gleamer
TE Gingerbread
TE Masquerade
Peachy

Baby Starflower
Baby Rainribbon
Baby Fifi
Baby Tiptoes
BBE Baby Shady
BBE Baby Cuddles
BBE Baby Halfnote

Beachcomber + float
Tiny Bubbles + float
Splasher
Foamy + float

Teeny Tiny Bootsie
And a twin baby pony I haven’t identified

Has a anyone else found anything amazing lately?!?

Please share, I’d love to hear all your stories too. :)

Customs / MO Sparkle Pony Project
« on: November 09, 2022, 02:07:01 PM »
After realizing that re-hairing ponies is actually not as hard as I imagined, and honestly I find it enjoyable and sort of relaxing. (recently I re-haired Sherbert and Merriweather who had bad hair cuts). That I wanted to start a re-hair project.

I’ve always LOVED the sparkle ponies, I had all the babies and most of the adults (minus Napper) as a kid and I recently just bought MO star hopper and Napper. And I LOVE that they have alternative hair combinations which got me thinking about which colour hair the others should have.

I’ve decided that I’m going to re-hair the other four sparkle pony adults and I also wanted to do baby versions with different colour hair as I’ve always felt the hair on them (especially firefly’s) was really basic. I want to add tinsel to the babies hair, tinsel of the same colour to the hair I choose.

I did some mock ups and I want your opinion as I’m not sure if I should swap baby firefly and baby starflowers hair colours.

I’ll post a picture of all the mock ups I’ve done so far in my next post.

Pony Corral / Pony Convention Questions
« on: November 08, 2022, 11:07:17 PM »
I’ve always wanted to go to a Pony convention but have never been able to as of yet. I have a few questions I feel like may have been answered at a convention during a Q&A and am curious to know anyone knows the answers to these?

1. How many Ponies we’re sold each year in the USA/North America from 82-92?

2. What was the reason North America never released ponies after 1992 when Hasbro released a new TV show?

3. Does the MLP movie or Televison show have unreleased episodes or cut scenes that have never been released?

4. How many ponies were sold from 2003-2008 (G3 line)

5. How many ponies were sold during the G4 line?

Thanks for your help. :)

Pony Corral / Removing Permanent Marker from G3’s
« on: October 14, 2022, 12:40:23 AM »
Hello!

I’m a little upset I bought about 25 G3’s from a seller on FB market place they all looked like they were in great played with condition. The ponies were relatively cheap, I payed about 168 USD, which was great.

The only issue was that the seller wrote the names of the ponies in permanent marker on scotch tape and place them onto the pony. I told them to be careful because that will transfer and to take the tape off immediately, or at the very least before they ship them.

They agreed, all seemed fine.

They arrived today, 2 months later because of a shipping issue, (seller forgot my unit number so they never delivered and got shipped back to the seller) They finally arrived BUT they have marker all over them, probably about 80 percent of them have marks, I also found one piece of tape still stuck to a pony, with most of the marker smudged off.

I checked the original pictures when the ponies still had the tape on them and the marks are not there, so some of the marks must have bend transferred when they were taking off the pieces of tape and placing them in the bags to ship. There were three bags and only 1 bag had a pony with tape still on it, so all the marks are not due to that one piece of tape, but due to the seller removing the tape.

I just wish the seller was transparent with me, stating they got ink all over the ponies when they removed the pieces of tape. I had even warned them twice about this. If I knew this I probably would have backed out as I know permanent marker is almost impossible to remove.

I sent them a huge (nice) message about my disappointment just now, with evidence of the before and after pictures, and the piece of tape that arrived in one of the bags that was all smeared.

I’m a little sad, BUT I was hoping you all can help me.

A lot of people talk about developer cream, I think it’s 40%, they use that under a UV light to remove permanent ink stains, I think?

Is this true? Does it work? And if so, what cream brand do I buy and what percentage? how long do I use it for and do all colours of ponies work with this cream or will it bleach them?!

Thanks for your help in advance.

Pony Corral / Year 6 - G1 Princess Ponies
« on: May 18, 2022, 10:42:16 PM »
Just curious if anyone has attempted to straighten the crown tinsel on year 6 princess ponies? 

I have been successful with wetting other hair with conditioner and used a hair straightener and straightened really frizzy and dry hair, but I’m worried the tinsel wouldn’t hold up with the heat, even if it was wet and conditioned.

I have a really lovely Princess Pristina, but her crown tinsel is really crinkled and compacted/curly. This may be from hot water? So I’m not sure if more heat would make it worse or potentially break it.

Thoughts? Should I attempt with a couple strands, leave it or re-root it?

I messaged Basic Fun to see if I could get any news on MLP….

And I asked if they were continuing the line and if so any news. (I don’t know how to add pictures here but I do have proof. Someone let me know how to post a picture) :)

They said and I quote:

“Hello Seanrob, hold on tight, next year we are celebrating My Little Pony’s 40th anniversary and there is a lot in store! Start getting excited!“

Eee! Fun!!! Can’t wait.

Pony Corral / Sundae Best Ponies - Alt Poses. Why?
« on: February 05, 2022, 06:45:03 PM »
I’ve always wondered why 3 of the 6 Sundae Best ponies had slightly different pose molds that were never used again.

Anyone know why Peppermint Crunch, Banana Surprise and Swirly Whirly were made with slightly alternative poses?

If you didn’t notice: Peppermint Crunch is Original Firefly without the open mouth, Banana surprise is Applejack with a different head and Swirly Whirly is the Collectors pose but both the body and the head are bigger with slight changes. (I do prefer Swirly’s pose from the original pose, as she looks forward rather than down.)

I thought someone would have some further insight/intel into this or maybe not, curious to hear.

Pony Corral / Replica Princess Pony crowns
« on: January 11, 2022, 09:55:09 PM »
Hello,

I’m trying to find someone that makes replica G1 Princess pony crowns. Both the damsel version (first wave ) and the crown clip version (second wave). Anyone know someone who makes and sells these? I was hoping to buy them in a group. I did this for replacement flutter wings but haven’t been successful finding replica crowns.

If you know of anyone please let me know!

Thanks!

Pony Corral / Which ponies do you wish had a different pose?
« on: October 07, 2021, 11:54:49 PM »
As a kid I always loved the 80’s television show and the characters personalities in the tv show and movie really stuck with me. So sometimes I didn’t fully understand the pose they gave the pony.

For example: Sweetstuff is shy, why is she not in the Apple Jack Shy Pose.

Here are a few ponies I wish had different poses:

Surprise: Medley Pose
Shady: Apple Jack Pose
Bowtie: Truly Pose (I know it didn’t exist then but would be perfect)
Gusty: mimic Pose
Sweetstuff: Tic Tac Toe or Applejack pose
Fizzy: Mimic Pose
Whizzer: Medley Pose
Sundance: Truly Pose
Posey: Crumpet Pose
Powder: Gusty Pose
Cherries Jubilee: (ponies with this pose always looked like “moms” to me) Crumpet or Tic Tac Toe pose

Curious to see which ponies you think should have different poses
