How to identify a rerooted pony?

[Stormy31685]

I concur that they are not rehairs either.  There was nearly no production quality guarantees then and there are not really any now. 

Another thing to consider, is the ponies themselves.  While they are nice, and somewhat hard to find, they are simply not worth the struggle to rehair and sell for a normal price.  If it was a rarer pony, maybe someone would rehair them, but those two, there really is no point.

Thanks for posting this! And thank to the buyer for speaking up as well.

They certainly look like they have original hair! Is it possible that hair could have been removed from a bad head and "re-rooted" on to the head of the pony purchased? I've never attempted anything to do with manes so I am completely in the dark - please don't laugh at my question!

The impression I've gotten is that it's possible, technically, but incredibly unlikely--the process of dehairing a pony generally involves cutting it close to the scalp to make removing it from the inside easier.

yep, you might be able to transfer hair from an adult to a baby, or an adult tail to a mane or a baby, but it'd be a lot of work!

Starbow is minus a washer, Streaky isn't. I've got a photo of Starbow, Streaky's neckhole was a bit small. There is just more hair visible than I'm used to seeing and it is pretty much identical to how my Sugarberry reroot looks.

This looks quite normal to me.  That does not signal a rehair in my opinion.

Its possible, but its not an easy task. And I dont think the hair looks like it has been moved, it looks completly normal inside the head. Also, I doubt anyone would go through all the work with these common ponies.

ughh I have done this with a daddy berrytown, it takes hours and hours I have being working him for months and have broken many needles, people only do this with expensive/ htf ponies :  )

Agreed - the hair looks completely original  and the inside looks normal too . Not all ponies have neat hair inside   I think the heads had just been removed to sort out the washers/rust and its nothing to worry about. If the buyer isnt happy though , maybe do a return/refund

They are not rehairs.

Both of these ponies I have from my childhood collection (meaning I nought and decarded them myself) and they look identical to these (mine were well played with and their hairs are in identical  condition, though I recurled my Streaky). These are definitely not rehairs so you have nothing to worry about.
