Just wondering if anyone else likes to pretend their popples are actually bushwoolies, over those static G1 Hasbro molds... I always thought that bushwoolies ought to roll!

  Settings haven't provided any failsafe upon my irons. The longer the iron is on the hotter it gets and this is on the lowest setting, unless you let it cool awhile you may not make it through the herd before the lowest setting gets too hot. Fakie hair is usually of a lower quality and quicker to stick, so you can warm up by straightening the hair of some fakies you don't care about... I still do. Also ventilate, whether or not you smell the chemicals it's likely better not to breathe them... for wetting keep a spray bottle of water/cream rinse solution handy, also useful is a plate to allow the iron to cool back down upon. Keys are patience and quickness.

  This is such an old post and it's difficult to type no need to respond but thought this might be helpful maybe to someone out there...

Before the passage of the able act persons with disabilities were very limited in what ways they might set aside any significant income for a rainy day emergency, I think some were limited as low as 2k in worth which is hard to move on, hard to pay for secondary college etc. Uncle Sam was fine if you spent every cent every month conversely though, just as long as it wasn't spent upon more predictable investments like you collected jewelry for instance which had more stable accumulative value...

Restricting the disabled from having much savings was a way to keep most disabled from full economic integration and more dependant upon aid. No one will ever know how much such desires for independance contributed to the vintage toy reselling boom of once cheap toys post internet which set a cultural trend in 80s and 90s children, but I'd guess G3 exclusives alone were (for a time) a good supplemental income for those low income people near target stores. Until they do sell or you buy them as a business asset (be sure to register and remit sales tax) not one social worker I've ever talked to has considered them worth paperwork. One said only things like shirly temple dolls matter... not sure where that preference came from, but anyway she flatly declined to consider MLP or animal toys.

Nor were you always covered for medical related expenses you'd have from time to time. Example, All those antidepressants that could harm your organs and cost hundreds of bucks a month... medicare/medicaid gives liberal coverage for big pharma, but taking the emotional assistance animal that is much healthier for your overall body to the vetrinarian even for basic care you will find no help for... so later medicaid/medicare pays for the damage the antidepressants too often do to your body. If you ever needed to pay for vetrinary care on a limited income... what could you sell? You need your home, you need a car, and if you don't have a car, you likely don't own any good furniture. A less legal option than toy collecting is the piggy bank but it'd show up once spent without explanation and I know a woman lost her entire life savings when her daughter tried drugs. Toys are an investment that at least require an effort which most random burgulars would not take time for. And even if they sell at a loss they may be better than no savings I think.

 Many people responded to that stratification by forgoing things like air conditioning, cable or a mobile and instead saving up for trips to the casino that I knew. They did so because they know if you get an unearned asset and spend it in the same month you get to keep more of it than an earned... just think of all the retirees out there gambling... but toy collecting provided many with a degree of security they'd never otherwise enjoy percisely because toy values while not percisely gambling do tend to rise and fall so irratically with time compared to cash that no one seems to care about lesser brands and what you'd guess they are worth currently.

Depending on your age when you became disabled these concerns are still applicable as the able act did not apply equally to everyone who was disabled and who needed a way to save wisely and not be penalized so that they'd never rise out of poverty.

Otherwise we do have too much plastic and pvc on planet earth... I can relate to that depressing feeling.

Our priorities shift over time in what we'd keep, so long as it's not you just being hard on yourself, just celebrate the changes you'll go through as having everything is overated and dull. I've found the less ponies I see around the room the more readily I find games for them to play and I think whatever you have to play with fakie or MLP, play is a healthy destressor when the world is so distressing and usually still an alternative that is a whole lot cheaper than a prescription would be! While knowing you are without guarentees it's also nice to have a savings that while maybe not as materially valuable you can actually play with (unless you happen to have the imagination of Mcscrooge Mcduck in a gold-coin ballpit)... or just redistribute to smiling children if they decline in value.

Thanks for shopping guys! PS. we still have about half our G1's.... better get back outside before my neighbor finshes watering plants!
