Title: Are these pony accessories?
Post by: Mana Minori on July 28, 2020, 10:41:34 AM: I happened to get these while thrifting, and they came in a bag with some ponies. I was wondering if they are, in fact, combs and hats from earlier gen sets.

I'll check which ones...

Pretty sure the lavender one with pink centres is Tropical Breeze because I'm sure I had it as a kid.

The hat I don't recognise. It's probably not G1 but I can't rule it out being another gen.

Edit: The yellow one looks like Cloud Puff's just looking at the MIB ones on my shelf. The other is Tropi's.

I'm not sure how rare they are but they are probably rarer than combs from the first set.

No idea where the hat is from, but I'm guessing because of the ear holes it is MLP? I combed through the EQG dolls, including the minis, but didn't find anything like it, or within G1-3.

All I can be sure of is it def. isn't G1.

Sorry Saff ;)

That would explain why I didn't see it before. No Targets here xD.

You are most welcome :D

It's a nice find with the flutter combs. I have so many for Rosedust and Morning GLory in my box but I am not even sure I have a loose CP comb, I think I may only have the one with her MIB. I'm not sure why but they do seem to be a little more difficult to find. So nice to pick them up after all these years at thrift. Congrats :D

Congrats on your find Mana Minori
