Is the G1 page up to date? I have a list of ponies I would like.

Also, will you be adding anyone else to the G1 page?

Aaaaand last question! How do you go about shipping? Do you use a specific website or app? Or do I pay you through a cash sending app like Venmo or Cashapp, and then you ship once payment is made?

 
The G1 page is up to date and complete. Please send me a PM regarding the ponies you are interested in along with your location and I will provide you a shipping quote and final total as well as payment instructions (via Paypal or Venmo).

MLP Nirvana / Re: My Fake Reverse Gusty

I just posted the story into my original post, so now you have the firsthand account  :)
I agree there should be a repository of stories from the community.


About the chalk - it's a great natural desiccant. Absorbs moisture.

FYI this RG is not filled with chalk. That would have been a dumpster fire! A light dusting was placed in her over 15 years ago before I put her head back on for the last time, to prevent me from messing with her further and as a moisture experiment. A tiny amount puffed out when I popped off her head for the first time in ages last week. I'm happy it puffed! If I found clumps, that would have meant that some moisture had collected in her. I can happily say she is dry and very low risk for mold.

I'd recommend this for long term pony storage, or even better yet those tiny silica packets, like the ones you find when buying new shoes. Moisture is the enemy when it comes to old plastic. Mold needs moisture. I used standard talc/chalk, not baby powder. She doesn't smell like a newborn bum. ;)

MLP Nirvana / My Fake Reverse Gusty
« on: May 27, 2020, 07:10:38 PM »
I found her today in one of my boxes...one of Ponyland's most infamous scams!

Here is my story, for prosperity!
_______________

I don't remember the exact date I purchased this RG, likely in the late 2001-early 2002 time frame as this was when I was working on my chemistry doctorate and spending my days in the lab. It was definitely after the first RG was found, and perhaps even a second was already known by this time. The community was so excited, as it always is when a new Nirvana is discovered (back at that time, the word Nirvana didn't even exist yet to describe a rare/foreign pony - lol I'm old).

She's truly a jaw-dropping color combo. When the next one became available, I knew I needed her in my life (at any cost!).

I didn't think too much about the seller or track record, call it being blinded with infatuation. I had a bad feeling in my gut, which I chose to ignore. I *really* wanted to believe she was real.

Reality came crashing down quick. Another RG popped up on ebay and through some sleuthing discovered it was the SAME seller as who sold me mine. *red flag, fire alarm*

When I received her I popped of the head immediately to find a perfectly sewn in mane and standard tail, pure Hasbro manufacturing style. It almost looked too perfect, if that makes sense.

As a chem grad student having access to spectroscopic equipment, I took a glue swab from RG as well as a glue swab from a standard Gusty and see if it was the same type of glue. It wasn't. This take alone is by no means a true scientific experiment with anything remotely bearing statistical significance nor ability to produce a meaningful conclusion. I would have needed at least a few more RGs and a bunch of regular Gustys to even get basic validation. But this one data point, combined with the second RG the same seller made available, plus her less than credible history put the final nail in the coffin for me as to her authenticity. Personally, I would not feel comfortable even hinting at the chance she is the real deal.

I believe the seller was banned from the community and don't know who has her other fake RG's. But I speculate there are at least 1 or 2 more floating around somewhere.

Made a major update to the G1 page (more Nirvanas and one FAKE nirvana......) as well as the Accessories page with a TON of pamphlets and other paper.

Thank you all so much for the kind words - I have been having a blast going through all of these ponies and taking pictures of them.

I know they are all going to great homes! *hugs*

Beautiful ponies! Do you have any moc or mib g1 ponies you might part with?
I sold my MOC/MIB G1's some time ago. The remainder of the G1's I'll be adding are lose ponies. There will be may MIB G3's however!
