For dirt/marks/stains that have settled into the vinyl a bit, a porous cream cleanser like Vim sometimes helps more than a magic eraser would. Best to keep it away from paint, though. In my experience it takes a lot of scrubbing using it to get paint to lift, but better safe than sorry.

The glue on Lightheart's tail is because there is supposed to be a plastic ring around it at the base against her butt. If memory serves it was to keep her tail against the post inside it so it can wag or something when you move her head? Haven't had mine out in awhile so I'm not sure exactly what the motion was supposed to be. It should be fine to take the glue out, but you might want to replace the ring with something if you want her to move properly.

I'm not sure if it's safe to iron the G2 McDonalds ponies. If I can find one of my extra ones I don't mind using them as a test subject, though, and coming back with my findings, if no one else has presented an answer by then haha.

Oh my, I totally understand; that’s a big purchase! I’d be happy to draw for you when you’re feeling more financially stable, though! Haha. I’m not always on the arena but if you want to contact me in future I’m on Instagram and Tumblr~ (Email is okay, too).

Oh gosh the temptation! haha. Can I boop you on instagram about this? It's easier for me.

Thanks everyone~! I’m so glad you like them! ^^

I would say it's normal~ My Snuzzle is just the same and she's definitely a regular Snuzzle as I am in Canada and there's just no way there'd be an odd nirvana Snuzzle here without someone ordering her in (I do think we got some of the UK ponies, but I'm very sure we didn't get any unusual variants).

Prices are in CAD not USD and do not include shipping. I am open to offers, deals on multiple purchases, and even trades! I have a trades list here (please note I am not looking to trade for other ponies and I am a bit fussy as I need money more than toys right now).

Hi pony friends! I'm sure none of you know me--I've never been very active here--but I need to sell off some of my stuff and I thought it might be worth putting the word out here as I'd love everything to end up with other collectors.

Right now I've been putting things up on a side-Instagram dedicated to toy selling, so if anyone wanted to check that out it's @childhoodhaven. Now that we can't use photobucket I'm hoping it will be within the rules to link to the images there? Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

For the G1 crowd, I am taking offers on my very nice Whitecap seapony. She is lovely without the usual age spots she is so prone to and still has her original weight and the glue holding it in.

Mostly though I am clearing out my G4 things! I am slowly changing my toy room over to a 1950s-1970s aesthetic and they are far too new. Almost everything I have is MIP (Canadian packaging).

The highlights (all MIP) are:
Blossomforth (no DVD version) $100
Plumsweet $100
Diamond Rose $90
Honeybuzz $75
Snowcatcher $50
Sunny Rays $40
Twinkleshine $40

But I have lots of other pony things too and I am sorting out more things all the time. If you see anything on my Instagram account or have anything in particular you're looking for please feel free to contact me about it here! I will be keeping a close eye on my messages ^^

Thanks for looking! <3

I do a lot of art in SAI and I'd be happy to help if you need advice with something specific within the software. I'm actually a digital native when it comes to drawing, so I don't have too much advice for adapting, but I will say that really learning your software makes a huge difference in how easy it is to draw. These days it's pretty easy to find tutorials and guides breaking down all of a softwares features! The most important thing though is definitely your stabilizer setting. In SAI it's up on the top bar on the same panel as the undo, redo and zoom and rotation buttons. S7 is the highest which means it "corrects" your lines the most. I would start there and work down as you get the hang of how the tablet registers your motions and learn to adapt. The goal is never to work down to nothing, though! Stabilizer is a necessary part of interpreting digital motions. I've been drawing digitally for years and I never set my stabilizer lower than S3 aha.

I actually think tracing is a pretty good place to start to learn how you need to move to make curves go x way and so on. That's where I started as well, even though I had very little traditional drawing experience aha. Never hurts to do sketchy stuff either, though, or even just practice handwriting! Handwriting is actually a great place to start because for most people you're already used to doing it and it doesn't have that same feeling of getting it "wrong" as you get when you go to draw a creature or an object or something and it doesn't look like how you thought it would in your head.

Also a good rule of thumb is the quicker the motions your making, the lower the number you need on the stabilizer, and also the opposite that if you are moving slow you really need the stabilizer turned up high!
