That is awesome! Congratulations!!

Thanks for the tip, NoPonySpecial. I've also considered using an iron at low heat (with a cloth in-between to prevent damage or burns) to warm up the glue on the sticker. Maybe it will come loose. I'm not sure.

I'm fixing up everyone's hair at the moment though so that idea will have to wait a while.

EDIT: I gave all three of the ponies I found the spa treatment, and then had myself a little photo shoot.

I tried the whole curling thing... it didn't really work. Honestly, that bob-like hair is actually my favorite.

What a mess! Still better than how it started, though!

Am I the only one that thinks G3's look like dinosaurs if you take away their ears and hair?

This was my first attempt at thrifting after picking up pony collecting again. I didn't mind spending my entire day off doing this either, because all the thrift stores around here donate their profits to either Children's Hospital or ASPCA - seems like a good thing to do on a day like today, you know? Anyway, I wasn't expecting to find anything but was pleasantly surprised!

First, lots of G3's! It's okay that they're messy because that means that they were someone's friend~ ;u;
I'm going to have a fun time restoring them, haha.

A lot of the ponies could only be sold in bags with other toys included, so I ended up with a few fakies too. That's okay. I can practice making customs on them once I get around to learning. Or if anyone collects fakies I can sell them.

Finally, I found an official 1984 coloring book! The cover is a little worn but the pages are all smooth and untouched. (Guess some kid really didn't like coloring!) It includes all its pages. So lovely. And only for 29 cents!

Does anyone know a good way to remove the price sticker without leaving behind marks, residue, or tears?

Two days off from work in a row tomorrow! Also my father is coming for a visit this weekend and I bought Lucky and Baby Paws today!

Aw, poo. I used to live in Georgia, but not anymore.

This would have been a lot of fun! Have a great time guys!

I think a SS pony would be nice as long as she was in very good condition. But when that's not the case (which is usually, it seems like) I'd rather see he deflocked. Someday I'll try it myself!
