Title: New G1 Accessory Identification Website - Newly Launched!
Post by: Chrissytree on September 22, 2017, 03:34:36 AM
After months of work I'm ready to unveil a new accessory identification site! Please take a look!
I'd love comments and opinions and there's a dedicated Facebook group you can join to discuss the site.

It looks great. :) I noticed you don't have a picture of Great Skates MOC. I'd be happy to let you use a pic of mine.

Thanks Shaiyeh :) I haven't put up places for all the images I'd like to add but MOC photos would be brilliant to add :)
Ponyfan - That'd be brilliant :)
Blackcurtains - any photos you can help with would help a lot

Exciting!

Hey, I can ID that friendship bracelet for Birthday Pony for you. I'm almost positive it came with the Canadian version, which was otherwise the same.

I'll see if I can sort a couple pics tomorrow then (lighting is too low atm, and I don't own a photobox), just keep them for whenever you need them ^^  PMing you when done!

I got mine in the UK but I think my Birthday pony was in US packaging. The Canadian version would have had two languages, wouldn't it? Did anyone in the US get one? Maybe it's just Canada and UK?

This site is great! I can't wait to use it when I finally get around to sorting all my extra accessories. XD

If i get my petites out of storage I can help with that section at least. ;p

This looks great, Chrissytree - I have saved to my fav, regular pony sites to explore further ;)

I have some nice petite images, too, that I could probably help you out with. Probably easiest if I send them through fb, maybe (rather than load everything up onto ruddy flickr!).  Let me know if you're keen.

With your permission I'll be adding a link to this next time I have a moment to play with the Scrapbook as I totally support this project 100%. Also, I learned something already. I have only looked at it a little bit but I didn't know Strawberry Fair's UK comb is different in shade from the US one. And if I didn't give you the MOC Tic Tac Toe images yet, remind me to? I'm really braindead at this time of the year :/ I know I had a close up of her comb etc somewhere but didn't find it, haven't had a chance though to compare whether the German and the UK ones have the same shade of comb (and now after Strawberry Fair I am curious to do so!)

Also! I have a duplicate of Melody's yellow 7 character comb in my trade stuff, which means I do have a photo of it, although I think it might not be a great one...in any case, I don't know how much more you have to add that you haven't yet added, but just in case. I have all of the regular 7 character combs in my accessory box as we had them all from new between us. I don't know if you need any of them but I actually think I have a photograph...

I know there are also a ton of MIP images I have to find for you >.>. I absolutely think the more sites with more detailed information about accessories is 100% necessary for our community going forward, and I'm really impressed with the level of detail regarding shades and stuff.

Edit to add: I may send you a PM, but I have Starlight's hairdo comb as well, and I am pretty sure I have a photo in my files. Also, I have that comb because it was a comic free gift, the other two I had with the ponies from new, so you can add that that one also came with the comic (probably Bangles' did as well).

Of course you can link to it :) I'm hoping to get a button sorted to advertise it but since I have no drawing skills I'll have to think laterally.

Sugarberry / Strawberry Fayre appears to be a variation - I've seen a few with that shade but I'm not entirely sure it's not a trick of the light - Ideally I'd be looking for someone with the darker version to confirm or with both they can photograph together. There are also US release ones that match the UK one, I ought to clarify that.

I do still have a few images to add but there aren't many more. You did send the Tic-Tac-Toe ones I've just added the comb OR the ribbon... but not both yet, I'm easily confused. I don't have any more 7 Character pony ones to add so any you can send would be brilliant.

Thanks Marlin - I've received and added your photos :)

I have just finished referencing my very annoying academic paper on angry Japanese warrior people, so I'll now go looking for 7 Character comb images for you...

I am also fascinated that your site pretty much confirms that my Honeycomb has a weird brush. It looked weird but it's also the only MOC Honeycomb I have ever seen in real life, so I assumed it must be image related.

Obviously she is on Snowflake's card, so meh to logic about releases. I got her from a seller in the Uk and I also got either Snowflake or year 3 Cherries Jubilee from the same seller.

I am not totally sure if Honeycomb was or wasn't in Scandinavia, I remember having this conversation with someone but genuinely don't know. Pretty sure Gypsy wasn't but that doesn't much help.

In any case, that's her provenance in case it helps. I need to see more Honeycombs now to find out how common that variation is.

Interesting too about Strawberry Fair. Maybe the later US batches? I don't know of any other Strawberry Fairs on UK card than mine but maybe you do...that would be a really interesting study.

Combs :D Dunno if the wood background is an issue for you though :/ The files are large, site just resizes them.

I will let you work out why the two Starlight mirror combs are slightly different shades o.O.


Edit to add: I noticed you're also missing Misty the Watercolor's ribbon. This is also in my comb pictures and it's 100% accurate as I bought the pony MOC and she fell off her card in transit. I've kept her comb and ribbon together ever since. It's in the top corner of this image:

Absolutely :) Thanks so much for sharing - looks like I copied all the images weeks before they disappeared from Photobucket! I'm happy to be able to keep it available.

Thanks Taffeta - I'll add those today. Er... the colour variation. I wasn't aware there was one but since one was from the comic they might have been a slightly different shade? That's the only time I've seen Honeycomb's brush that shade and it's certainly not Snowflakes, which is blue. I've recorded images of Hopscotch and Snowflake on card with Posey, Lickety Split and Bow Tie on the front as well the the version with Gypsy, Honeycomb and Snowflake but only the latter for Honeycomb and Gypsy. not sure if that tells you anything

So to make it more annoying, Starlight was the only one of those three we didn't have from new. But sister and I both had the comic by that time. I don't know whose is whose, not after this much time, but both those combs must have come from the comic - we had one each. I had Bangles from new and then bought Beautiful Bows direct from Hasbro when I corresponded with them in 1994 so I know those combs are definitely to the ponies, but the other two I am sure are comic related. I am going to assume it is something more in the line of Strawberry Fair and minor batch differences?

Agreed. I have Snowflake on the same card (I mean the exact same card) and her brush and ribbon are normal. I also remember for some reason from when I was a kid that my Snowflake had a blue bird brush, I think because it was my only bird brush, so that's definitely out. Looking at your images it looks closer to Hippety Hop but it is still paler in colour. I really need to see a proper MOC Honeycomb in person to know how different they are. Wind Whistler is also a closeish match, I think, but I think WW's is still a shade darker?

My brush and comb collection suggest I have a few pale purple bird brushes but haven't thought to compare them to my confirmed WW brush and this Honeycomb's brush...maybe at Christmas I will do that. I'll also try and find the other MIP ponies on the list you sent me as I can see some gaps I can definitely help you fill, and I need to get them all out at some point anyway. I like to do it occasionally to make sure they are all all right, so it will be a good excuse to properly catalogue what I have.

Yeah, I've seen the same thing. Also the Bow Tie on German card with no pony names on, (her brush and ribbon appear normal to me, lavender butterfly and white ribbon). That card has the art for Gypsy but not Bow Tie. I have a strong feeling Honeycomb and Gypsy are both UK exclusives but don't quote me on that. I am certain about Gypsy, but not sure of Honeycomb.

Unfortunately I can't see what is on Honeyflake (I call her that)'s sticker, because the image is concealed...

Awesome site!  I can contribute a picture of Cotton Candy (2nd year edition)'s purple flower brush if you need it.  I didn't see her listed on the flower brush page but maybe I just missed her. :)

That would be great princessluna11706 :)

And thanks LadyMoondancer - I'm sure there are some accessories that have been missed out and looks like Cotton Candy's Brush is one of them. I'd love a pic and I'll add a space for it too :)

If anyone else spots things missing please let me know - I feel like I've been staring at the pages for so long that everything blurs together. So fresh eyes checking things would be brilliant :)

So the aqua brush and comb  for Flutterbye?
I got my Flutterbye from a seller who in the past had bought her MOC and decarded her. So I have all the stuff for her confirmed as hers, and the brush and comb I have are aqua. I was looking for something else and I have a photo in my files, so here you are. Sorry the two are together :/

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I think the US one always has aqua but an image I have from another collector's pony collection shows her mint on a UK style vertical card with the blue brush and comb. That;s the vertical card also used with some of the variants, I think - has Flutterbye on, no Starflower? It's a card I don't have yet :'( but I think that's the right one? I think the collector who sent me the image said that she got that MOC Flutterbye from Australia originally. Don't know if that helps.

I also noticed you're missing Starshine's ribbon and also that my MOC Confetti seems to have a different ribbon shade from the one you already have. They're in the one above but I have some better images for them as well. I've just put my folder of rainbow pony pictures into a folder on the link I sent you before so you can see what you maybe can use? Any issues let me know.

I also have the same situation for y3 Applejack although I don't have the MOC any more...I do have her accessories and they are confirmed as hers but I do not have a photo of hers at the moment.

 If you want I can add it to my list of stuff to do when I'm home though :) Ditto on Flutterbye's ribbon as I know I have that, it just isn't in the pictures for some reason...I think I can just see it if I squint, but it isn't a proper image.

I can also do better shots of the brush and comb separated if the ones above aren't good enough for the site. I'm making a long cataloguing list of stuff to do ;)

Also, Hummelchen? Do you need Hummelchen's stuff? I have her MOC too somewhere, but for some reason no image of her in my rainbow files. I really need to re-catalogue. I'm really grateful to you doing this because it's actually making me realise I need to be more organised O.O.

Title: Re: New G1 Accessory Identification Website - Newly Launched!
Post by: Chrissytree on September 25, 2017, 12:39:30 PM
Thanks Taffeta :)
I'll research Flutterbye more and see if I can narrow down the variations - and add that pic :)
Will check the images too.

You can do as much or as little work as you'd like :) Of course there might be additions before you get back.
I would love to add Hummelchen's things - I'll be working on Nirvana ponies soon.
