Title: 2 New Ponies
Post by: Khema on February 21, 2014, 11:23:36 AM
First is the Peacock pony from the 2009 pony fair in Las Vegas. I would love to get another one so I can play with it.

Second is color changing Star Catcher. She turned pink from the cold and I'm not sure how to change her back without taking her out of the box. Any ideas?

Oo, congrats on the Peacock pony, she might be one of my favorite fair ponies :)

For Star Catcher, I'm not really sure.  Will she not change color back as she warms up being inside?

I got her two days ago, so I think she's as warm as she's going to get on her own.

Peacock pony is one of my very favourite G3s.  I like your little Star Catcher ornament too.  Congrats :D

Blow on the box with a hair dryer?

Do you have a large wooden cutting board? Maybe you could put her in the oven?? Seems drastic, but if you have her on the cutting board rather than the wire shelves, and if the temperature is low...are there any oven experts who can tell if this would work, or is the idea crazy?

I would NOT recommend putting a pony in the oven! Definitely much safer ways to heat plastic, like boiling water.

EDIT: Just saw that you want to heat her up without taking her out of the box, I'd definitely go with the suggestion of hairdryer. I'm not an expert on ovens but it doesn't seem like the plastic on the box would fare well inside of one, even at low temperatures.

Oh, yeah. I was thinking about how you can bake ponies if you're trying to sculpt polymer clay onto them, but I neglected to think about the window.

Congratulations on the ponies! They are fantastic.

Unfortunately the colour changing on Star Catcher is wont to "stick" in the pink when the coating breaks down which it does over time if its exposed to temperature variations too often. Personally I have always liked her in the hot pink colour over the white anyway :)
