Thanks, you guys! I think I'll try the dresser idea for now, my apartment faces the sunrise so the only spaces that don't get sunlight are the kitchen and bathroom. Would the glass cases still be appropriate, since it was mentioned they cut down light a little?

Hello! I tend to pop in here erratically, kind of went with the fact that I was always having to move my ponies into storage. But! I'm finally in my own place for the first time!  So I was wondering what's the best(safest) way to display ponies? I'm always so worried about the spread of cancer and pindots, and other forms of discoloration. I noticed my Starflower actually seemed to have developed some cancer-y looking stains behind her cutiemark which kinda started my slight panic. (I also happen to have a good collection of nirvanas, including my two grails; I'm so paranoid I almost considered shrink-wrapping them, lol! )

Just popping in to say that, although I'm garbage with prices since I fall out of the loop so easily, I'd be insanely interested in that MOC Nightlight when you do get a price.

I never claimed her to be a prototype.... and okay yeah i was VERY well aware i had more than likely overpaid but there was honestly no need to write several paragraphs rubbing it in my face about what a horrible deal it was and how awfully i overpaid, and how overall worthless she is..... honestly have some tact.....Also wouldn't it have been painfully obvious if the pony had been head-swapped? Like, wouldn't the plastic look a bit "stressed" around the neck? and yeah okay sure you can go ahead and plug that why not...........I mean over all I'm still happy with her. We've all made mistakes on eBay, the cruel mistress, and everyone knows their prices are insane. You can be damn well certain I'm not going to be bidding on any other alicorns anytime soon. >__>; (Also I'd still be interested in some info on taobao pony-searching if anyone has any. )

Eh, probably a bit too much, around $30 - 35 not including shipping? Her price was in GBP so part of the reason I was going "D'OH WHY DID I DO THAT" was because I'd entered about $5 to $10 more than I intended too....  ;; (as Ditzy Doo pats me on a back for a derp well done)
Ohhh no... there's a UK seller who is blatantly head-popping to supplement their actual TaoBao ponies, as proved when ALL of their listings were head swaps with other ponies they had listed! I hope this wasn't the case with you.
Eeek! I'm pretty sure she's not, though? Her head's more tightly stuck on than a few of my other ponies, whom I know haven't been tampered with. And her neck isn't, uhh, messed-up looking? xD; I mean if it is a head swap, it's very well done, lol. But for safety's sake, do you have the name of this eBay seller so I can stay away from them if it was a specific person? o: Heh I have this one too!! I bought mine off someone here on the Arena. Then a few months later, I saw her counterpart, Blossomforths head on Rarity's body on ebay!! I just HAD to have her!!
And here they are

If you like the appearance of them, then there's no problem buying the Taobao factory error ponies. Yes some unscrupulous sellers will try their hand at making franken-ponies but you can probably tell from the state of their necks.
OMG. She's lovely! (obviously... xD) And I love Blossomforth with Rarity's cutie mark, what a great pair! I almost find it more unique that there's multiple Blossomforth/Rarity alicorns, kind of like I can picture them at the factory like "UGH how did this happen again?!"

Awesome! Does anyone have any tips/known Taobao shops that sell these and like ladies? I've used Taobao before but mostly for BJD stuff, so I have no clue where to start when looking for ponies. She's pretty! haven't seen that variation before.
I love the test shots and the prototype ponies. Factory errors are fun
There's a Rainbow Dash with no wings!
Sometimes they are used as free samples and made from leftover parts. (at least, that's what I've heard)
I've bought a bunch of the mismatches and I like them all.
I remember that Rainbow Dash! I have no idea what stopped me from getting her, she was only like $12 or $20 USD and now all I can find are ones going for $80+  Out of interest how much did you pay for her? Eh, probably a bit too much, around $30 - 35 not including shipping? Her price was in GBP so part of the reason I was going "D'OH WHY DID I DO THAT" was because I'd entered about $5 to $10 more than I intended too.... ;; (as Ditzy Doo pats me on a back for a derp well done)

Okay, so there's a little story behind her. I saw her on eBay and I was pretty much blindsighted by "oooh unique! rarity's head! ALICORN!!" and made a very impulsive bid on her at the last possible minute, thinking I'd be sniped at the last minute. Well, the would-be sniper was about 12ยข off on their bid and I ended up with her instead, much to my "aUGH I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT" guilt-trip a few moments later. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginWell, about two weeks later her she is at home with me and I have to say she's growing on me fast. However while I'm aware of prototype/"mismatch" ponies, I know very little about them. First thing I want to know, was this pretty lady worth it? And aside from the eBay seller, where the heck did she come from? My first worry was that "well, what's stopping someone from just taking a Rarity and Blossomforth and swapping their heads?" but her head seems to be pretty snuggly fit on, more snug than the Rarity I was comparing her with not playing why would I play with her what i'm an adult, and obviously more snug than one of my Pinkie Pie's whose head I had popped off with the intent of customizing (and later going "nope I am so not going to destroy her neck for the sake of that damn plug!"). Sooo I'm hoping that rules out that horrible possibility. :worry: (Also noticed her left eye is slightly, but pretty noticeably, mis-stamped, but that seems like a fairly typical occurrence for some G4s.) Also a name, a name would be nice; I've been half-heartedly calling her Blossomity.

Lovely collection, I love these girls' color combinations and cutiemarks; congrats! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

AHhh, it's a tie between Munchy and Night Glider, but for the poll I chose Munchy.  Next up would be Yum Yum, and from there I just... love all of them, TAFs are the best! ;V; But I love Munchy especially because there are TONS of candy-food themed ponies, but Munchy is-- to the extent of my knowledge-- the only non-candy food themed pony. That just makes her so unique and, of course, food is always high up on my interests.

In store I saw a fashion style ponies listed as $25. At WalMart. :1 I'm certain it was a mistake, and I can't even remember what pony it was, but holy crap that was disappointing.
I can't remember exactly which pony it was, and I'm starting to think it might've been Applejack... (In which case I'll kick myself for not getting her, LOL).

Congrats! Ah-ha, there's something I find hilarious seeing giant plushies unstuffed and squished like that. xD
