Hey! I'm the one who is looking for her childhood ponies and going by cutemakesmehappy on IG! Thank you Luke for bringing this thread to my attention 

Einhornbaby, I got your message on IG, but when I moved it from the general to primary tab, it disappeared before I could take any notes or even were able to remember the details including your user name, so that's why I never came back to you on this. I am sorry this happened, thank you so much for contacting me!

It would have been a Christmas miracle and a very welcome one after some rough last few months, but I don't think this is one of my original ponies unfortunately. I had the complete Apple Delight family, but I marked my ponies with W.S., not just S. Nevertheless, thank you so much for thinking of me and trying to find me!! I'm sure many others are looking for their childhood ponies so even if that wasn't one of mine, maybe someone else recognises it and will be happy to welcome it back!

Edit - when I posted this reply I saw that I have a picture of my markings in my signature, had completely forgotten that, so that's an example of it

Thank you for asking this, I am in the same situation and so far haven't dared to take a pony with me to take pictures. It's very encouraging to read other's experiences and especially that no one cared haha 

Thank you! Everything is in great condition, so I am really happy about the set. The only thing missing is the ribbon, but I should have one in my stack that has the right colour - I still didn't get to checking if I actually have but am pretty sure I do.

I could not find a bleaching cream as described; I found something that was described to be a "blonde freshener", but since I don't have any clue about hair colouring products, I don't know if it really was what I was looking for. I still brought it home and tried it on a different set that has heavy discolouration, with disappointing results so I did not go further down that road. So I mixed up some oxy cleaner paste and smeared it onto the set. The Waterfall has been sitting in the sun for a short while now like this and already made so much progress!

Here is a comparison picture of the bigger yellow spot on the base part of it:

I have since washed off the oxy paste, and just letting it sit in the sun like this. The cloud is making awesome progress, too, and I am really happy how things are coming along!

Thank you so much, yes, this is exactly the information I needed! And it has convinced me to not try removing the cloud - it's far too dangerous to break the clip, and I am clumsy when it comes to such things, so no way I will try my luck here.

Thank you!

I'm very, very excited about it!! I've only seen the SDCC trailer, but that looked and felt like good Star Trek again, finally!

Ohh exciting! I hadn't seen this thread before I saw the new follow and the name made me wonder...! What a cool idea!

I'm still looking for a supplier with a good stock too, since my attempts at getting actually quality hair have been rather disappointing, too. I've ordered on Retro Dolls UK, but despite my name being correct in the order confirmation, it was wrong on the shipping label and usually the delivery guys still get it right, but this time it went back and now I am reluctant to try again. It seems like all good colours are sold out everywhere! I got a hairless Bow Tie, Applejack, Dancing Butterflies, Up Up and Away and several babies sitting around waiting for new hair and all I have is cheap wish fibre which was great for learning how to reroot, but these ponies are in great condition and deserve proper hair.

Oh dear...  an extra funny detail - if you look at the stoner pony, you can see that they just took some photo with transparent background they found online to print it on the cake thingy, without making a proper, coloured background for it so now you can still see all the grey & white squares
