Rescues from the scary vintage toy store!
« on: February 24, 2013, 05:53:22 PM »
It's not THAT scary, but the ponies I find there certainly are!  :shocked: Luckily they all cleaned up pretty well today!

I dug through the basket in the back of the store where ponies sometimes appear, and discovered an EXTREMELY dirty Medley (but her symbols were great so I gave her a chance), a SS Lofty with good flocking and nice hair, a pearly baby sea pony (Water Lily I believe), and a Magic Hat whose symbols were almost entirely rubbed off. I will have to repaint those at some point. Otherwise she's pretty nice still!

And then... then came the flutter ponies. There were not one, not two, but FOUR of them hidden under a stack of fakies and G2s! I pulled out Honeysuckle, Forget-Me-Not, Morning Glory and Rosedust. Their hair was somewhat akin to a rat's nest, or possibly several tumbleweeds, but conditioner and a lot of patience fixed that problem.

Gotta say, I'm not normally a fan of the flutter ponies but I think I may be falling in love. They're just so PRETTY!

Gotta love the feeling of giving some sad ponies a new lease on life!  :frolic:

Thanks! Yeah, took a good two hours and about a bucket of conditioner but it was worth it!  :nod:

GREAT finds!! I love the flutters... that would be SO exciting to find four! Medley looks to be in great shape, her symbols look lovely! Lofty's flocking looks great too... and poor Magic hat! Is she supposed to have a rabbit coming out of her hat? someone had an issue with it I see! oh... and a pearly seapony, how fun! Congrat's on them all!

Thanks so much! I know, I was thrilled about Medley after I Magic Eraser-ed her for a while. There was a lovely pony under all that grime!  :P I feel terrible for Magic Hat. At least she has great hair and a nice white body. I think there's supposed to be a rabbit there, yes. I'll find some good reference photos and repaint it when I have time.
