Title: Red Roses
Post by: PetSounds on October 21, 2016, 02:25:19 PM: Well I sure am glad MLP Arena is still working today on the internet :blink: :shocked:

I snagged an eBay buy it now pony lot the other day (ok, it was like 1am Pacific Time) as soon as I spotted Red Roses in it. There were some great ponies in there as well! A Sky Rocket that needs a little cleanup, Tassels, two ballerina ponies, a lovely Sparkler with no damage or even tangles in her tinsel, some newborn twins, and a whole bunch of other ponies. Sadly many of them are missing tails, etc., but it's a good lot to practice some cleaning & restoration techniques on. Here is a pic of a a few of the best ponies. There were a ton in this lot, like 23-25, including some weird and cool Hasbro cat figurines I haven't been able to find any information about yet.... :|

And here is Red Roses after I worked on her for a while. Her hair isn't quite where I want it to be yet, but I think she looks a lot better :) She has some small marks on her NDS side and some remnants of Pony Makeup on her eyes still, but after a long bath, conditioning, and Magic Eraser, she's looking pretty darn good :) :) :) :) :) :) :) I just love the Perfume Puffs. I only have two right now, but they're so magical ...

Thank you! It was a very good lot -- I was happy to get the Sparkle pony (there was also a Sparkle baby that only needs a tail replacement). Tassels is the MGR pony. she is beautiful in person, and her pose is different than other earth ponies in a similar position. I'm going to touch up some of her paint on her raised areas, but otherwise she's in great shape :)

Thank you! Her Display side wasn't shown in the auction photos so I did take a chance... was glad she just needed a very good cleaning :)

I am so jealous right now, :biggrin: Red Roses is on my wanted list and she's so hard to find...
Anyway, you really had a good eye to find them all.
I'm thinking about asking to one of my unicorns that have to power to find hidden things to help me, lol :lol:

Congrats on getting her and the others! ^.^ And about those cat figures, maybe somebody here in the arena could help you to ID them if you post some pics. :) A great website to visit for such purposes is www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk - That is if you want to keep trying on your own for a while. I know I can be stubborn like that! Haha! :) They've got lots of pictures of various 80's and 90's toys, and a few from the 2'000's. Good luck!

Good idea about the cats, I'll upload some photos of them later.
and thank you! I love her. She and Dainty Dahlia are hanging out right now having a fun "Puffy" party :)
