I need these temptations out of my house before I use these unused ribbons.


Would it be a SIN to open these ribbons?
I hate to open these if someone out there collects ribbons like these, but I prefer to tie my ribbons around the tails, so I am very tempted to remove these and use them... They came in lot labeled- do these labels look accurate?

The Quackers ribbon is sealed in a package unlike the others.

Are unused ribbons worth more than used ones? I would be happy to trade any of these for the loose version (or princess ribbons)

Finally if anyone wants to upload these photos to the Wiki (or keep them for reference) please do it!

I collect the ribbons like that! I've only ever payed $1 each for them though.

I think you should go ahead and use them.  I'm unaware of much interest in NIP ribbons.  If the ribbon was still with the puffy sticker in the little plastic pouch, then yes, I'd leave it alone.  But loose I think you're good.

Moondancer's ribbon looks awfully white--it's supposed to be pale blue!  Do you think it's faded or just a very pale dye lot?  I collect ribbons and love these!  But like you, I prefer them on the pony

I thought so too about the Moondancer one- it looks pretty white to me as well. Like I said I was skeptical myself, so this is also a request for verifying the labels that were on them.

Glad to hear that no one finds shame in using them!

butterflybuttons said she collects ribbons like that. ;D So I'd say you may have interest after all. They sure do look pretty...

Personally I think ribbons are the one thing that you are fine opening...at the end of the day they are already out of their mib/moc packaging and as long as you keep a note of whose ribbons they are [easily done by putting them on the right pony] whats the harm? They are your ribbons and you should be able to do whatever you please with them - I agree they look much cuter on the ponies themselves than in the little plastic wrap.

Whether they are worth more that way than loose...I honestly couldnt tell you...simply as I have always paid about the same for both loose and in their little packing wrap...hopefully someone more knowledgeable on ribbon lore can help...

At a ponycon 2 years ago I sold loose ribbons for £1 and mip like that for £2 and had plenty of takers.

Hope that helps

I'm sure I won't have any problem getting rid of them. My big concern I guess is removing/ using them, but I guess no one seems to think it is a big deal- thanks for the insight!

So lucky to have these ribbons MIP... o3o
If you decide to sell, I'd love to buy sugarberry's ribbion. c:

I have Moondancer MOC & her ribbon is definitely light blue, not white. I think Cherries Jubilee had a more lime green ribbon. Unless my monitor colors are off, the ribbon pictured looks like a mint green. I don't have a MOC to compare, but my childhood CJ has had the same lime green ribbon tied on her tail for as long as I can remember.

hm... googling around i actually see mostly yellow for CJ, and possibly chartreuse...

Yeah, that's definitely not CJ's ribbon. It's more of a yellowish lime green. I can't think of who it goes to, but it's such a lovely color... It might be Swirly Whirly's, but it looks darker than hers.
