Wanted! / Wanting to buy Sea Ponies!
« on: March 23, 2020, 03:31:52 PM »
Hi! I'm a huge fan of the G1 Sea ponies but haven't had any luck finding any locally so far, so I thought I'd ask on here; does anyone have a Sea pony (preferrably adult) they'd be willing to sell? I'm not super big on condition, but I prefer in-tact hair and no age spots.

(I am from Sweden, which I feel is important to clarify!)

If you've got any and are fine with shipping here please let me know, thank you! :accomplished:

Wow! She's super pretty :good: I definitely gotta add her to my wishlist!
I'm a fan of the bride pose as well, though it does make displaying a bit tricky for me, haha!

Good luck with rehairing and/or customizing your baits btw! :frolic:

Nice gets!
Don't worry, Sea Ponies sometimes can have mold, too, so if the rust was a dealbreaker then you're in luck! They're not so bad, though.  :P I just Oxiclean it.

I fully expect my first Sea Pony to be f u l l of mold when I get one, haha! I really do love the way they look though so I think I can handle the cleaning process for their sake :hope:

they both look great <3

Thank you :lovey:
I'm planning on giving Peachy a nice spa treatment soon, but did just get a lot of ponies in the mail who needed me ASAP :work:

I don't think all nirvanas vary that much but I know Italy Peachy does because I have a lot of different ones. I wouldn't worry about popping her head of it it's necessary :). Even though she's a nirvana she's also very common.

Ah! I see :good: Nirvanas are pretty confusing but I'm trying my best to understand!
and yeah, I know Italy Peachy isn't very rare, so I'm probably gonna pop her head off and make sure she's all good :happy:

A three dollar Nirvana - what a lucky find!
According to Peachy's My Little Wiki page, there seems to be four different italian variants of her:
1. Peachy with two hoof stamps
2. Peachy with four hoof stamps
3. Peachy with airbrushed eyes
4. Brown Peachy

It looks to me as if you have the two-hoof-stamp variant :)

Ah, yeah, I think you're right! :accomplished: Ty!!

Oh he's lovely. His colour has improved so much too since you got all of that horrid rust out. Congratualtions on your nirvana. I'd definitely get the head off and clean to try and stop her plastic deteriorating any more, but since she's nirvana others may disagree. Anyway, she's great too!

Happy I could help him out! :happy:
and yeah, I'm contemplating whether or not I should mess with Peachy or not, my immediate instinct says yes but knowing she's Nirvana is putting me off a little. Hm... choices, choices :yikes:

Nice job on Daddy Bright Bouquet, he looks so lovely now! :) And congrats on both of them! There are many subtle variants of Italy Peachy - stamped on two hooves, stamped on 4 hooves, with or without pat. pend., differences in symbol color and in hair. Probably due to different batches.

Thank you, I'm very happy with them! :lovey:
I didn't quite know Nirvanas varied so much depending on batches, that's useful info, ty!

Hi again everyone! So yesterday I got Daddy Bright Bouquet in the mail :newpony:

He was overall very clean and looked nice, but as the seller specified, he had a rattling noise coming from him. I suspected it was the tail washer that had come loose, and since he was suffering a bit of tail rust, I decided to find out.

Yuck! :yikes:
As suspected, his tail washer had rusted and come loose, spreading quite a bit of gross rust inside his body (poor boy). Welp, was nothing to do but give him a helping hand, so I did!

(I fear the day I get a Sea Pony to clean up)

Once he was all clean and dry and had his head back on, I gave him a nice conditioning and left his hair to dry and style over-night!

Done! He looks lovely now and I'm glad I was able to help him out :lovey:

I do have some more to add onto the post, however!
A day or two ago I took a chance at a $3 Peachy, which was described as "unstamped". Curious, I bought her. She came in the mail today and... turned out to be Italian!

Her poor hair...

Now, aside from her being Italian, I'm unsure exactly which variant this is, so if any of you know I'd love to be informed! (and don't worry, I'll clean her up) :good:

Anyway, that's all for this time!

Ah, it’s always wonderful to find ponies you played with from ages ago! And I agree on the fluttershy idea. I only have the rainbow power one that came with a breezy. I need to get myself just a regular one as well.

It is! I'm surprised how good they looked aside from their haircuts :happy:
+ the Fluttershy plot thickens as I found a box of accessories with her ride along scooter and butterfly companion, so I now know I have had one at some point, but she remains MIA for now and I shall still pick one up at the thrift store while I look for my old one :hope:

That's a lovely collection. I don't have Feathermay, yours looks really nice!

I remember Feathermay being my favorite when I was younger, glad to have everyone back :lovey:

Hello fellow Scandinavian :good:

I'm super jealous that you already own two mountain boys, congrats on that! I wish you much luck with your future pony collecting! :lovey:

Oo, Star Dreams. Glad to see you found them! That's a lovely bunch.

So happy to have them back :lovey:

Don't you love when you find your old treasures? Hopefully you'll find your other ponies soon too.

Absolutely, and thank you! I hope so too :happy:

blonde glory tries to say transformers (or perhaps trans rights) but her lack of fingers results in a keysmash. we support

She's doing her best and I appreciate her :frolic:

Pony Brag Arena / Found my G4s!
« on: March 01, 2020, 12:16:14 PM »
After many hours of searching and tossing garbage out of our storage room, I have finally located my old G4s from when I was younger! :newpony: I also found my two G3s (RC Scootaloo and Starsong) but sadly didn't find my two G2s (Bride and Gardener) or what I wanted to find most, my G1, Melody.  :sad:

That's beside the point though! Here's the bounty I was able to locate at the bottom of the box. Most of them have haircuts, which doesn't bother me since they're not G1s, haha! Also feel like it gives them more character, so I don't mind.

If I am not mistaken, the ponies I own are:

Diamond Rose (Glimmer Wings), Ploomette (Glimmer Wings), AppleJack, AppleJack again, FeatherMay, Princess Cadence, Princess Luna (Crystal Empire), Rarity (Crystal Empire), Applebloom, Applebloom again, Sweetie Belle, Sweetie Belle again, Scootaloo, Starbeam Twinkle, Snowcatcher, Rainbow Dash, Shining Armor, Cheerilee, Lyra Heartstrings, Twilight Sparkle, Star Dreams (with a rather funky hairstyle, haha) and Pinkie Pie (Tinsel in hair)

(and a little extra pic for my favs)

Now notice something missing from this collection? Well of course, it's Fluttershy! I have no idea why I don't own one, but it looks like I gotta head down to the thrift store and pick one up! :frolic:

Anyway, that's all from me!

Omg I love that :what: expected it to say "transformers" before I scrolled down fully and that's a hilarious thought, haha!
