I was walking past a charity shop today and thought I'd pop in quickly to see if there was anything good. I may occasionally see a tatty G3 or G4 but never anything worth picking up. Today though, the first thing I saw when I walked into the room was a very pristine looking Posey on the toy shelf! She still has very pink hair and bright paintwork (most Poseys I see have white hair and faded pink tulips) - for 99p I got an absolute bargain! The lighting in the photo doesn't do justice how bright pink her hair is. She looks brand new.

congrats, what a nice surprise!
-
Well done.
I wish I am lucky as you. All I find in Charity Shops here a Pegasus G3.5
-
How lovely to find one in such a shape! Wish I got that lucky!
-
Woah, nice find, she looks great. I feel you on the lighting -- that shade of pink is so insanely hard to capture on camera, but it's gorgeous in person.
Off topic, but I'm dying to know -- who are the adorable kitties behind her? :)
-
Thank you everyone! I feel very lucky to have found her :) Cswift, those are my handmade cat dolls! I actually made a post about them today - http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,386740.0/topicseen.html (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,386740.0/topicseen.html)

Wow, that was a really nice find. I didn't even realize until I became an adult collector that Posey's hair was supposed to be pink. Every version of her that I came across was always so badly faded. Congrats on snagging her in such lovely condition :frolic: :cheer:
-
Oh! Posey looks so cute! Congratulations.
-
She is Beautiful! Congrats!
-
That's so lucky! I recently found three G1 babies in a charity shop (though they weren't in as good condition as your Posey!), so I know the amazing feeling of finding them, especially when you're not expecting to

:drunk: :newpony: I love it when I get a chance to use these emoticons!!!
-
Wow, she's gorgeous! Congrats
-
Great find, what a nice surprise!
-
A super find!
99p - can't even buy a sandwich for that :lol:
-
Wow, that's a really great find. Especially with the pink hair, and even more so since she is the European Posey with darker symbols from 86, which makes her just a tad harder to find than regular pale tulip Posey. I don't think I have ever seen a loose magenta tulip one with pink hair, that's how hard it is to find one o.o. I'm really glad she ended up in collector hands.
@Glitterball - or crisps apparently, if on a station, as it cost me more than a pound for a bag this morning at York ><
Rather have a pony though :D

Great pony - I love Posey! And so awesome that you found her in a charity shop, that must have been so exciting :)

That is interesting Taffeta: I did not realise she was so hard to find?

It's more the combination of the fact Posey fades so easily coupled with the fact the magenta one is less common generally because she's a second release of a popular pony. Rarity is a relative term when dealing with Posey and Cherries Jubilee but the 2nd release versions of both are harder to find. Posey just becomes more complicated because most Poseys seem to have faded :/ I don't think that it makes her especially expensive as a pony, but definitely more difficult to find.
She is easier to spot than the 2nd release Cherries Jubilee though xD.

Thank you everyone for the lovely comments! I didn't realise that the magenta tulip one was a different version, that's exciting though, makes her that bit more special. I actually went back to the same charity shop a couple of days later, just incase. I found two Lemondrops, a Tootsie and Majesty! I don't need any of them but couldn't leave them there, and they need a bit of a clean up compared to Posey, so at £1 each I saved them all!

That's awesome, congrats! :)

Hooray! What an awesome shop! Who knows who you will find there next...? :frolic:

Thank you! This raises more questions for me re: Cherries Jubilee, however I will start a thread on that - this isn't the right place :)

Thank you everyone for the kind comments! I don't need the other ponies I found for my collection, so I've listed them on eBay for what I bought them for if anyone is interested. There's 2 Lemondrops, Majesty and Tootsie. Hopefully a collector out there is looking for some of these!

She is a gorgeous find!! Congrats.
PS - those cat dolls are just GORG!!!
-
Nice find, especially since she's the version with dark pink tulips! And her hair is still pretty nice too. Maybe you could try repinking it?
