Pony Corral / Re: Disintegrating Hair Syndrome
« on: Today at 11:42:51 AM »
I'm wondering how we figure out which ponies sold over here were made with poly and which were not (basically I can't get at 90% of my G3 at the moment, so I can't just go through and do the hair wash test, not that I'm brave enough to do it!) Some of my G3 also did come from the States so I don't know if they were in bonus packs or if they weren't. I can't remember if I had Petal Blossom and Rainbow Flash with the babies or the babies separately...but all those ponies are currently wrapped up in acid free tissue and stored away.

I've never had the Avon ponies but I also remember them being the first and it was a long time ago they were flagged. But I hadn't realised so many that I consider regular release ponies here may have had bonus releases over there...

I have December Poinsettia in box and I intend to keep her there...but it is making me hesitate about wanting to acquire any more of that set if they might be at risk down the line. They are a bit expensive.

The only pony right now that I know has this issue is actually a G1 Butterscotch, probably a Mail Order though I am not 100%...whose hair was full of conditioner and so dried up and is now so delicate I cannot brush her, or even put her in the cupboard. She's lived by my sink for the last decade or so. Since I am presuming G1 Butterscotch had nylon hair, I'm wondering whether products used on ponies has had any impact on hair breakage (speeding it up) in G3.
Lady Moondancer mentioned earlier in the thread that if the hair soaks up water, it's neon. If it doesn't, it's polypropylene.

Yeah...but they're in boxes in the attic, so that's not a test I can really run rn ;)

I did go through my doubles box today and gave each of the pink sections a little tug, everyone's fine right now.

That's good to know

Awww man, not more additions to the list :sad: Every time this thread gets bumped up I hope it's because someone's found a fix for it or something :(

At least there's rehairing

Those are beautiful, Artie!

A custom pony contest has started on another site. I want to enter it but I have prior customs to finish. I'm almost done with two out of three. The third I am having difficulties with. He has very complicated and detailed clothing. I've never really sculpted clothing like this. But I'm hoping to finish the two soon so I can start on a pony for the contest.

Will you show off some photos? Good luck in the contest.    :newpony:

Updates including Lily Lightly, Comet Tail, some G4 McDonald's,  and Twinkle Bloom. Ugh I was really hoping it wouldn't hit any of the ponies I own.

I'm chipping away at Pokemon Yellow.  It takes forever to get them to decent levels.

I cleaned out my no-tech aquarium yesterday. It's in a huge green glass demijohn with plants and rocks. I see a lot of my plant stuff as art or craft but can understand if that doesn't make any sense!

Can we see please?

I've got 2 patches coming in the mail. This jacket is nearly finished! Just 2 more patches to go and with any luck, maybe I'll have it done in time for winter?

Sure! Love your patches and I love pink and teal together too. I just scanned my blog for some images, there are some flower arrangements here: https://florencemeade.com/2022/04/30/2021/ and here: https://florencemeade.com/2018/12/21/bauble-terrariums/ but I don't have a pic of the no-tech tank handy right now. Is that what you particularly wanted to see?

I love those! So pretty! Thank you for sharing. :lovey:

I found a bunch of character shorts at Walmart including Barbie, Stich and other Disney characters,  but no MLP ones.  Was I looking in the right section?


Ponyfan

Maybe they don't have em in your store yet?

And OMG the sideview of the styling ponies :scared: :yikes: :P Don't think they're for me but I love seeing more pics of them. Who made them, are they Hasbro, Basic Fun or someone else? (sorry if this was already answered! I can't remember if it was or not x_x)
Just now noticing this question XD
The styling head is done by JustPlay

Just Play? That explains a lot.

LaW - Love those shorts!! I LOVE seeing more obscure characters on merch <3

Nice overall, but it's bit of a pet peeve of mine when an image hasn't been completely cleaned up. The fill between the forelock and the forehead is all I see once I noticed it :)

But yes this drives me crazy too, I'm so glad it's not just me!!

Edit: Went to 5 Below and found the pony head thing but also found on the wall where the graphic t-shirts are located, an image of Firefly with the text "To the Moon"... Could not find the shirt and the lady that was assisting at self-check (technically she was using the self-check as a normal checkout lol) said she hadn't seen that shirt for a few weeks. I'll get an image up of the graphic if no one else does soon

Was it this shirt or have they got new ones in? :o

I will say.... the 5 Below styling head ponies are weird from the side view. I may get another one though once I figure out what to do with this one in terms of how I could make a body for her XD

She looks like she's judging somebody who has deeply disappointed her.
