First ponies since 2020 - and a MIB G2 playset from my childhood!!

Shout out to my ever-so-patient boyfriend who picked this haul of G1s up for me from a local seller while I was at work today - Tex has been on my wishlist since I started collecting again in high school, and I didn't expect to find him so fast without going to the internet!

Bow Tie and Pinwheel have some super short haircuts and they're all pretty dirty, but as someone who wants to finally dip my toes into restoration, that's fine with me. Considering shipping to Canada is usually at least $25 CAD for a single pony on eBay and the like, $65 CAD for this lot seemed like a good deal to me!

On top of that, I've been lamenting recently about some of the G2 playsets I had as a kid that have been completely lost over the years. My mom tried to find all of my ponies for me, but who knows where some of it all went. The two big ones I was missing were Ivy's Pretty Parlor and Light Heart w/ her canopy bed, so... When I saw this sealed in box G2 Pretty Parlor on eBay - from a seller in my province, no less! - I simply couldn't resist.

I can't bear the idea of keeping it boxed, so I'm thinking of recording the unboxing process - I love watching unboxing videos, and I imagine there must be some G2 fans who might enjoy such a thing. We'll see how much patience I have, though - either way I'm really, really excited to open her up and relive 1998 for a minute.

Thanks all! Unfortunately Tex and Powder have blue pen stains in their nostrils (whyyyyy!!!!) that I haven't been able to get out, and Powder's symbol is 95% gone. If anyone has any tips for getting rid of pen stains I'd love to hear them but from what I hear it's a difficult thing to accomplish!

Going to record myself opening the G2 playset tonight, I think. No idea if it'll turn out since it's my first time attempting such a thing, but I figure it's worth a try.

oh you can sun fade that, even up North   it just takes a little longer.
