When I took my art classes in university I always watered down my acrylics a lot also. They're not sticky at all. Of course, they're on wood or canvas with gesso underneath. Perhaps, if unsealed ponies are sticky, it may have something to do with painting on plastic. I don't customize; do you use a primer or sealant on the pony body first? Odd how they're sticky. Good luck in figuring it out.

I don't know what she'd sell for but I might be interested in purchasing her if I could afford her.

Man, I want these so much. Why did Target have to leave Canada?  Not that they probably would have carried them anyway.

I have yet to see one actually used for their intended purpose, so I'm not a fan. I think you're doing it wrong if you're paying more attention to one of them than to the movie a hundred other people are trying to watch.
And that brings up another issue with fidgets. Many people are responsible with them, but many are not. Fidgets are becoming more accepted as a tool for those who need them to concentrate but sometimes it's at the expense of those around them. If I'm at church and the sound of your fidget is making me anxious and want to go postal, it's not socially acceptable for me to ask you to put it away or use it quietly because "it's a tool", so now you and your tool has made me unable to enjoy church and I have to leave early. Or a movie, like Skeen mentioned. The latest was shopping and the staff member was bouncing a ball everywhere he went. Guess what, I couldn't stay to shop, I had to leave. Yes, I rant, and yes, these repetitive distracting noises bother me that much but there's really nothing i can do about it other than remove myself from the fidget.

That fidget pen looks really cool.
Now, I've never used a spinner but as a teacher I've seen them. I'll be honest; I don't get it. While I know people can really benefit from fidgets, part of me wonders if having fidgets like these that are so mainstream is starting to train people to need constant stimulation? I mean, for those that don't need them for medical reasons. A fellow teacher has ADHD and one of his students brought a spinner to class and claimed that she needed it because she had ADHD. She doesn't. She has no documented medical anything, much less a reason to need a fidget. My colleague was not pleased with this and likens it to faking an illness just for the sake of a toy.
So, this push to be popular with the latest fad is leading children to bring them to school to create constant stimulation. Will it teach their minds and bodies to crave it? With the current movement about learning mindfulness and teaching children to take time to be still in our crazy busy world, I feel that, unless it truly helps with a medical diagnosis, will it just make kids crave more stimulation? Or am I just overthinking a fad that will be gone from the schools by next year? Just food for thought.

How exciting! The anticipation may actually be more exciting than the ponies, but I hope not. I, too, hope you get some seriously cool ponies in the lot. One of the ponies I've always wanted but won't be in your tote is 10th Anniversary Birthday pony. You know, just in case.  I can't wait to hear what you do get and in what condition. Those little kiddos can be really rough on a pony, just ask my childhood Firefly.

I admire your desire to get out of debt any way possible. I just want to share my not so successful (for me) experience with selling. I chose to sell my G1 collection of about 150 ponies individually here a few years ago and some of them sold but many of the common ones didn't, and that was a large part of my collection. Since I'd been out of the pony loop for a long time, I found pricing to be really hard, so I may have been asking too much. I also felt that most collectors already had the ponies I had for sale. This meant that the sales were in drips and drabs so it was hard to make a dent in any debt. I sold probably less than half of my small collection, mostly just my nicer/more rare ponies. Now I'm in a better place financially but not from pony sales. I also found I was on the board here a lot more since I was selling and my pony love was rekindled and now I'm collecting ponies again, though in a more moderate way. You may want to really be sure you won't miss your ponies when they're gone, especially if you have other avenues of paying off your debt. I'm now trying to get back many of the ponies I sold and many are hard to find. I do find that pony prices are higher that when I was actively collecting the first time around, and maybe selling in lots, as suggested, and even using ebay might help you sell faster. Good luck with whatever you choose.

When I see My Little Pony written abbreviated as MLP, I read it as the abbreviation, so therefore: an mlp.

Wow, your Mom rocks! My mom hates my ponies so it's nice to see that there are Moms out there who don't. And what a pony to get. I'm so excited for you!
