Title: Thrift store find! Rare or not?
Post by: SilverHorsey on August 26, 2014, 05:56:37 AM
So I today went to my nearest thrift store and was surprised to see a My Little Pony there! MLPs are not very common in thrift stores in Estonia...at least I don't find them that often. So it was a G3 styling size Star Catcher, who is in such a bad state, a bait. But I had to save this poor little girl, cause I know I can one day ship her to a loving new home ^^

So I cleaned her, but the dirt pretty much didn't come off. Only that pink color ALMOST disappeared in warm water and hasn't come back.

I don't remember seeing her in Estonia on pony shelves, so is she overall rare or only in here?

And I am willing to trade/sell her! PM for offers!

Congrats on her! Do you have the ability to buy a magic eraser? Those would clean her up well :)

 I agree with avene1984. If you have a magic eraser, that should do the trick :) I've personally never seen her before as a styling pony. Has her tail been trimmed? I'm not too sure on her price, but I might guess something between $10-$15? But I'm not too sure so you should get some other opinions too haha :)
Good luck!  :good:

Thanks! I've heard about magic eraser and I know they are in shops here, but I have always forgot to buy one :P In future I will!

Well, if you do clean her up in the future, I'd love to see the result :)
Good luck!

I have her too, though mine's white with faint pink here and there. She looks really nice when the most of the pink is gone. Cool find

I don't think she is particularly rare (just because I have one myself, lol!).  Still a nice find though :)

The G3 styling ponies are one of my favourite collections, I have 2 Starcatchers. ^.^

The dark pink colour shouldn't come back, it should stay pretty light, unless she's kept in a cold place.

Just be careful with magic eraser on her as it can remove all of her colour changing coating.

She is lovely! Congrats on finding her.
