A friend found this gem at a Goodwill. Cleaned up nicely, with the exception of some stubborn stains on her neck and front hoof. Acetone and a magic eraser wouldn't work, and I don't feel like waiting around to try sunfading.
Her hair was a complete mess, took the better part of an hour to untangle after letting it soak in conditioner all day. Still some rough frizz, but I tucked that behind her legs.
Wasn't expecting this size G3, the pic my friend sent me at the Goodwill didn't show her size. Thought it was a normal sized G3 at first. Had a spot reserved right next to a G3 Sweetie Belle, guess this one's going behind instead.
On a side note how would voice actor autograph affect the resale value of older pony toys? Cathy Weseluck's coming to Bronycon this year, was considering asking her to sign this toy.

Cool! I'm not sure about resale value, but I'm sure it would go up. It's a piece nolonger made and has the voice actress's signature.

When I first saw one of those, it was towering over some regular size ponies and I wasn't sure I was going to like it. I bought it anyway and when I got my hands on it, I loved the size! I have several of her and Cheerilee and one Star Catcher and I just last week got Rainbow Dash who cleaned up marvelously.
Signatures are always good I suppose, but keep in mind those Styling G3s (that's what that size is called) are a little less desirable to buy online because their shipping is more and not everyone likes them. Given a choice i don't know if a smaller pony would be better....but if you intend to keep, think of how much better a signature would be on a great big pony! Yaaay (I like big ponies so I'm biased).

I think these girls are great. I've only got a couple in my collection because they take up a lot of room but they are so pretty so I think they are worth it. Good luck getting her signed :D
