Pony Corral / Weirdest pony names« on: June 11, 2014, 05:13:34 AM »
What are the weirdest MLP official names you ever came across?
I thought the following sounded funny:
And, funny naming two different ponies in the same set, the exact same name, Hulahula, which differs between the Euro and US release. Some unrelated ponies have the same or similar names, like Blue Belle and Bluebell. Or Cha Cha. 63

Thanks Vertefae, very nice to hear. I like them very much too, and nice to hear that you can tell how gentle I've been with them. I wasn't much for playing with toys, rather collecting. I hate to part with them. But hopefully they'll find good homes and be as appreciated by their new owners.

I've finally decided to part with most of my ponies, and sell them right here! And alot of additional ones aswell. It was a gigantic pain to decide whether to sell them, and a big job to look through them all to match accessories and look for defects, and take individual pictures. They're not all quite as perfect as I first thought. They're still almost unplayed with, but some have small dots/marks because of factory defects or being stored away togheter for so long.
Selling them here will be alot more comfortable than ebay, and I'm glad if it makes someone on this forum happy after all the info and help I got here. Of course I'm kinda hoping there will be some bidding here though. But I made a new thread for that in another forum here at MLP Arena: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,355673.0.html 65

Just wanted to comment again and say nice work everyone!
Thanks himmie, for posting the pictures of Honeycomb and Surprise. And Sandi, nice comparisons beyond the generations of ponies, good ones! Clever matches everyone, and it seems almost as if alot of people had already had the same thought about pony lookalikes. 66
Pony Corral / Re: Pony Lookalikes« on: May 16, 2014, 07:44:30 AM »
Great examples people! I can't tell some of them apart!
Perhaps Hasbro were inspired by earlier ponies. I mostly know about g1 ponies. Here are some others that remind me of each other, although I don't have all of them so I haven't seen them side by side: Surprise and Honeycomb (always thought they were so alike, but only own Surprise) Firefly and Bluebell Posey and Snowdrop Pinwheel and Hula Hula Bonnie bonnets and Love Token 67

Maybe this was discussed before, but... I thought it'd be a fun topic...
What are the two most similar looking ponies you can think of? In color, haircolor, eye color, symbol or something else? And I'm not talking about series where they all looked pretty much alike, or variations of the same character. I was looking through all my ponies the other day and took pictures, and found two that I thought looked familar. Nice 'n Spicy and Love Story. They have the same haircolor, same pose, almost same body color. I challenge everyone to find a better match! If there is any. visitors can't see pics , please register or login 69

Wow you just posted everything I could possibly want to know about selling these ponies. It's a dream to have someone pay this much attention to my particular items and advice me so much on the specifics about each set and how to sell them. And I noticed you're one of the moderators of this forum, so it's an extra honor to have you take your time especially for me.
Thanks And thanks for the compliments on my ponies, I was thinking I kept them well, and nice to hear you agree. I just learned a new word in English, "barrettes". I'm very happy to hear Rainbow Curls and Tropicals came with combs in the Euro release. Then I can exclude the brushes for those. Nice to hear the accessories I found raises their value. It encourages me to see if I can even find and match some more of their accessories, like for the Secret Surprise ponies hopefully. I will definitely take note of your advice of selling Euro ponies worldwide, and probably sell with accessories, and not in lots of several ponies. I might try selling one or two non-euro specific ponies on Tradera just to see what I can get there though. I'll make sure to mention that I'm not a 100% certain of the match of combs, ribbons and such, and perhaps offer them to pick among a bunch. If I post auctions on ebay, I'll return here with links so you can all have a chance at them and see how I do with my sales. Thanks 70

hathorcat, that explains it. Too bad the other ones weren't available here in Europe. Thanks for the auction advice, I appreciate it very much.

No hair styling tools. The ones with curly hair have their original curls. None of the ponies have pony cancer. None of them have cut hair. Their hair has barely been combed at all. They haven't been exposed to alot of sunlight. But all weren't completely perfect after all. A couple of Flower ponies have pink pen stains. Shoreline's tail is a little overcombed. One of the merry go round has something loose inside it, and another one has a little scratched off paint on the saddle. Still haven't decided to sell them. But if I do, I'm probably going to sell some stuff privately, add a few on ebay and tradera.com and see what gives the best prices. I'm thinking the Euro ponies are more wanted by international buyers, rather than posting them on Tradera. As you can tell by the pictures, I still haven't been able to match all combs/brushes. If anyone can pick out the right one among any of the ones with several, that would be nice. Some more questions: Is it recommended to sell sets in lots, or one by one? And with accessories or sell the accessories loose (since I'm not entirely sure of all ribbons and combs)? Is it common for loose ponies to be sold with the exact correct comb/brush on ebay and do people expect you to know for sure for loose items? Will it help if I offer the buyers a picture of alternatives in similar colors to identify it themelves? How likely is it that Rainbow Curl and Tropical ponies came with a comb rather than a brush? Can the European version have come with a comb? I see them also listed with a comb on mylittlewiki.org and it makes sense according to the combs I have. But I also have brushes. Anyone ever seen one of them come with a comb originally? 71

Thanks Marlin for the information and the link, will check it out right away and start matching togheter accessories with ponies. Sorry to hear I'm missing the most rare two ponies for MGR and Candy Cane, sometimes the stores I bought them in only carried a few of them although I wanted them all. And some of these I bought on travels to Germany. And nice avatar btw!
Thanks hathorcat for the pricelist for them all, and the info, that's very nice of you. I was hoping for alot more for atleast some of them, but I guess it's not impossible on ebay depening on the amount of collectors at the moment. And cricket, if I decide to sell Pretty Beat, I'll let you know, even if it's on auction, I'll give you a link atleast. Nice to see there are so many Europeans on this forum! I'm going to try and upload some pictures once I matched them with accessories, but still not decided on which ones to sell. Just for the fun of it and so you can see the quality of them for starters. 72

Hello!
I've had a big collection of ponies, and I didn't play with most of them at all, just collected. So I think they're all in really great condition and I probably still have all accessories (if I can just match them). Would like some advice on value, or to know which sets or individual ponies are most rare. Sunshine Ponies All six. Can probably find all butterfly brushes or sun combs if helped with identification. Candy Cane / Sugar Sweet Ponies Four: Caramel Crunch, Sugar Sweet, Molasses, and Sugar Apple. Can probably find all candy brushes if helped with identification, have two with ribbons still attached. Merry Go Round Ponies Four: Sunnybunch, Brilliant Blossoms, Flower Bouquet, and Tassles. Can probably find all flower brushes if helped with identification. Rainbow Curl All four. Can probably find all star brushes if helped with identification. Tropical Pony All four. Can probably find all bird brushes if helped with identification. Rockin' Beat All four. Guitarbrush for Pretty Beat, Half Note and Sweet Notes. The latter two have their ribbons attached. Secret Surprise All but Stardazzle, with keys except Pretty Puff. School-time Ponies All four with bags. Can probably find all letter combs if helped with identification. Flower Ponies All four. Can probably find all flower combs or brushes if helped with identification. Cookery Ponies All four with aprons. Can probably find all combs if helped with identification. Romance Ponies All four. Can probably find all combs or brushes if helped with identification. I'm not 100% sure I'm willing to sell them, or maybe not all sets, and I may put them on ebay if I do. But I'm looking to complete my Jem doll collection, so I do need money. But first of all a price check and see which ones are worth selling. Hope someone can help, thanks Post Merge: May 13, 2014, 02:10:13 PM Anyone have just a clue for me on what sets of ponies are more rare? Please? Maybe these sets are very common and not so interesting. You My Little Pony collectors are so lucky to collect a line that was so heavily massproduced that rarities are a rare thing. I do have quite a few other ones that should be a bit more rare though. Maybe I'll ask about those later. |
