Pony Brag Arena / Harpy and the Disaster Girls! (Part 1)
« on: September 17, 2018, 08:40:14 PM »
Hello my fine pony enthusiasts!  I would like for you to join me in a tale of eBay lots, pink highlighter and black mold.  You'll laugh!  You'll cry!  You might even throw up a little!  Come with me friends, as I spin the tale of: The Disaster Girls: Part 1.

I, like many collectors, was perusing pony lots on eBay.  A particularly cheap lot caught my eye of some G1s in...questionable condition.  None of them were rare, but hey, there was a seapony in this lot!  And I love the idea of prettying up these ladies.  So the purchase was made!

They arrived fairly quickly; so I set to work on them!  I am still in the process of restoring the vast majority; some are QUITE worse off than others (Firefly...dear God...Firefly...)  But I will be chronicling them as I finish!

First of the Disaster Girls: a baby seapony whom I strongly believe is Baby Salty.  (If that is who I have BEST NAME EVER)  As you can see, she wasn't too bad off.  She just needed a bath and some TLC on her hair.  Hair isn't perfect yet, but it's a sight better than it was.  Still have some work to do on the ends.  So ends the tale of (Probably) Salty!

Oh my God, the pony with the 90's solo jazz design is the funniest thing.  They are AMAZING; an excellent purchase!

Pony Brag Arena / My G4 Brushables!
« on: August 22, 2018, 08:35:33 PM »
Hey all!  I figured I'd share my G4 Brushable collection!  It's not large, or even rare, but I sure do love these girls!  The pearlized ones are just so nice...  I know I'm devaluing them by styling their hair, but hey, they're G4 and not super hard to find!

First up, Dewdrop Dazzle and Pretzel!

And secondly, Meadow Flower and Sea Swirl!

I have some other baity Mane 6 brushables I obtained in an ebay lot.  They might be salvageable; if I can pretty 'em up I'll post 'em!

Pony Corral / G4 Hair Quality, What Is the Deal?!
« on: August 22, 2018, 12:08:09 AM »
After having primarily been a collector of G4 blindbags I decided to start a G4 brushable collection!  I popped around the drugstores; they still have a bunch of Explore Equestria pearlized brushables.  They're by far my favorite set. 

However, their hair out of the package is complete garbage!  It's frizzy and/or stringy.  I've managed to get some older G4 brushables on ebay and I was shocked at how much better the hair quality was!  Older G4's have soft, thick hair.  The quality difference between Dewdrop Dazzle and, say, Sea Swirl or Pretzel is just staggering.

What happened?  Are they putting less hair in the plug?  Using a different material?  Hasbro cheaped out?  (Most likely answer certainly...)  Anyone else notice a drop in hair quality?

Wow, Strawberry Sunset is beautiful!  The G3 ponies are underrated!  And that Ploomette, AMAZING.

You've got some real winners there in your herd! :biggrin: May I just just suggest that the little purple sundae hair clip being worn by Baby Shaggy does in fact belong to your Peppermint Crunch - the Sundae Bests are always more sought after with their barrettes!

Checking MOC images, it looks like Peppermint Crunch's is yellow, and a different shape:

It's definitely Banana Surprise who has the purple one the OP's baby is wearing:

@SweetDaes, I don't see Munchy o.O. Do you mean YumYum?

Thank you both for your help!  Good to know which pony the barrette goes to!

And thank you everyone for all your kind comments!  I do love my old girls (and boys!) and I'm excited to be able talk old school pony with everyone!  :D

Raspberry Jam is a Sweetberry Pony.  They were originally scented.

Your foals are Newborn Baby Shaggy, Mail Order Rice Crispies Baby (she never got an official name, but sometimes is called Baby Stockings), Newborn Baby Squirmy, Newborn Baby Wiggles, Newborn Baby Dangles (all four of the newborns are from the Newborn Ponies set), and Baby Starburst, a Fancy Pants Baby.

Looks like you took great care of all of them. :)

Thank you so much for helping me ID them!!  :D  I had no idea where to begin!

Pony Brag Arena / My G1 Collection
« on: August 20, 2018, 09:54:46 PM »
Hey all!  I figure I'd show you all my childhood G1 collection!  I'm glad I've hung onto them!

Looks like I've got three Sundae Best, one Twice As Fancy and I'm not too sure what line Raspberry Jam is from...

Here are my boys Barnacle and Wigwam with all the foals (whose names I'm not sure of!)  The foals don't look quite as good as the girls, but hair can be fixed!

Not the most impressive G1 collection, certainly.  But I love 'em!

That’s a good find!  Honestly, if it’s not super expensive, I’d go for it!  You can always re-sell (or donate in the case of the fakie) whichever ones you don’t want.
