My Steamer's hair is almost white. Would that count?
My sister's Tornado has a very dashing white mane and tail, looks like it was always that way and she likes him better with white than pink. I'm hunting around for a picture of him but I don't seem to have one though :(
I'm one of the faded pink haters I'm afraid :( Ponies I have with the faded colour get upgraded, though I always keep the original as well. There is no rejection for graying hair in this pony house ;)
I've been actively purging my collection of fading pink hair ponies. I can't stand it when it's faded (though I do agree Tornado looks better with white hair) or "semi-faded." It's sooo beautiful and vibrant in its starting state, but it just fades too easily. So my fading pink ponies always end up living in paper bags in boxes in another box under the bed.
TAF Yum Yum is one I'm having a hard time letting go, though.
Well, speaking of fading pink, is there a complete list of G1s, G2s and G3s with fading pink ?

Aw, poor UUaA, she looks old with that white mane. Well, now that I look at her, maybe it gives her some charm. =)
Hey ! I also have another question, if I want to rehair a pony and get the exact match sold online.... Does this match fades too ?
Elfpony : Aww, that's really sad. How is that even possible at a chemical level ? Oo Does pussycat have the same composition as the 80's fading pink ? :o There should be another way to get the same hue with another composition, isn't it ?Well, I know nothing of the chemicals involved, but I know that hair does fade quickly. However, there are several shades of pink available, and it's certainly possible to find other shades that look nice on various ponies if you're planning to rehair.

Here's a picture I used to use when I did presentations at conventions on typical problems found in vintage toys (and how to avoid them). A few of the fading pink ponies in my herd.

Found this darling in a charity shop with terribly dry and matted hair and a filthy body. I did my best for her and love her as she is with her lovely white hair! :)
Edit: I have since got rid of her tail rust too, so she's a very happy pony!
MMMMM that Romper's(? or is the blue one Squeezer?) HAAAAAIR! The pink is so so sooo beautiful when it's brand new like that.
That breaking pink hair is more of a Heart Throb colour (but HT does not have the breaking hair) that was used on a few G3, mostly discount ponies. Green Apple, Tea Lily, and Jazz Matazz are the only ones I can think of. I'm wondering if JM and TL had multiple releases though and only one release had that hair? My two, who were the Avon release, had their pink hair break, but I've got two other JMs in my sales box who show no signs of breaking pink hair. No way of knowing which release they were, though.
