Title: is this a mlp or a cabbage patch pony?
Post by: Lorelei Redfern on April 12, 2012, 04:29:36 PM
ok so sevreal years ago (and i mean at least 15 or 20 lol)  i was at this yard sale and i found these two beautiful mlp. they were big. very large and were quite beautiful so i got them both for 50. total. they were in mint condtion,   this is ha htey look like.

the first one is white with these sort of orange swirly markings all over her body. her  face has that hwole cartoony  cabbage patch/ mlp look. they don't look like fakes in fact i even looked at the hooves and it just has the hooves.  the hair  hower is briaded yarn. it's in tight little small braids its orange nad has sparkles.  it is an old yarn so  this is why i think that it is possibl a  old school cabbage patch.  i don't know anything aobut the orignal mlp orignaly called my pretty pony. is it possible that i found one? but i've never herd of a pony with yarn  hair. it is veybeuatiful i am curious as to what i have.

the 2nd is a light purple pony of the  same build.  she has the same white curly fancy  markings all over her back and face. she has  pink silky hair with a few briads (her maine isn't yarn.)  does anyone  know what these ponys are?  they do say hasbro on them.

here is a pic i found of the 2nd one.  it loosk just like mine.  (i uploaded it to my gallery.)

I think CPK are pretty well-respected around here - they definitely aren't fakies or knock-offs!! I have one (a childhood pony) in my MLP collection, and I've been tempted to buy more :3

I read that as "I have 83 drawers of them" and was about to demand pics :silly:

I love when you get pictures of the Pegasus ones looking straight at you down the camera lens...they always seem to look very pleased to see you but kinda startled too...if I was to sum it up they look like the kind of ponies who if they could talk would perhaps be a couple of cookies short of a full cookie jar [no harm in that but its that slightly dazed expression that makes me giggle]

As others have said I believe they are really popular and I completely understand why...they really grow on you!

speaking of cabbage patch ponys awhile back i got a white cabbage patch show pony  in mint condtion from i think 1978 at a neary thrift store. it still ahs the bridle adn the saddle. i love it! it has a spot of honor on my shelf i even have a cloth under its hooves to keep it from getting dusty.

 :drunk:  83 drawers... I'd be drowning in plastic!  My G1 collection doesn't even take up 83 drawers full, more like 10!  *chuckle*

Aww, they are cute :)

Just some info for the future, I don't think G1 had any big ponies like that ^^ but My Pretty Pony is a valid guess :D here are some pics of them if you´re interested :)
