Pony Brag Arena / Finally got to go to TRU« on: September 14, 2013, 01:18:38 PM »
I think the last time I went to TRU was before school got out for the summer so it's been awhile. I finally got to go today!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login I didn't get to check through the BonBon's because they only had one and they had no Spitfires They mostly had brushables and barely any funko toys. I wish they had more! They didn't even have the shadowbolt Rainbow Dash.. My squish pony was revealed to be Applejack, and that thing in the middle is a chibi King Ghidorah figure I also got the Twilight Sparkle in a Stocking ornament but I forgot to put her in the picture 138

visitors can't see pics , please register or login In a small lot I received the other day, there were a couple of baits. Most are fixable, just needs new tails and a bath, but some of them have broken ears! They seem almost as if they were bitten off? I dont see how you could break these things. Is there any possible way to fix them? Like making new ears out of clay or anything? I feel so bad for the poor girls. visitors can't see pics , please register or login In that lot I also received my first so-softs. Lofty here would have been NM but then I turn her around and I see... this. I don't even know what this is? Marker, dirt, coffee stains? Since she and Magic Star are my first and have barely any flocking damage, I'm really afraid of causing anything crazy! I don't know how to clean them without damaging the flocking.. Any help is very much appreciated! 139

I went to go meet a lady today who was selling some ponies, her nieces collection apparently. I got 13 new babies for $25 and she said this may not be all of them, and she'll let me know if she finds more!

Needs a bath Starshine - Symbol rusting on both sides, minimal hair cut in front. Skydancer - Some hair cut in front, not as deep as others. Red paint or marker splotches. Baby Glory - Perfect!

I'm going to be buying some more ponies next weekend and got a picture from the seller. I asked for better pics but she just told me I can look them all over when I meet up with her (It's obvious she didn't photograph all of them..) But the white pegasus in the bottom right of the first photo with the star/compass looking cutiemark, I don't know who she is! Anyone mind shedding some light on it for me? 141
Pony Brag Arena / Lyra Funko and Aurora Fluttershy arrival« on: August 29, 2013, 02:40:07 PM »
Got home from a very long, tiring day of school and yay my hot topic package is here!!!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login Lyra has some blemishes (y'know, I didn't even notice these things until I joined this site xD) but it'll be okay for me. Aurora Fluttershy is my fourth MLP plushie, and my first aurora one. She's the 10" version and very cute Build a bear still has the best plushies overall, but im waiting for someone outside the mane 6 before I plan on getting one (if they'll even do that). 142

Off Topic / I finally got something I always wanted as a kid..« on: August 19, 2013, 03:15:28 PM »

A spyro plush! Spyro and Jak & Daxter were the most important games of my childhood. Spyro sparked my never ending love of dragons and the original games mean a lot to me. I won him on ebay for $13 and free shipping, what a deal!!! He only has two very small problems, and thats little holes that need to be sewn (ones leaking polyester, one isn't) but I'll get him fixed up. 145
Pony Brag Arena / G4 Wysteria and Funko Pop Vinyl Scratch« on: August 18, 2013, 11:06:31 AM »
Yay new ponies today!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login This is the first time in three months I've seen our local Target actually have pony merch in stock! They even had the giant $50 alicorn twilight (its bigger than I thought, wow). I plan to go back and get the Pinkie Pie in the black purse later. visitors can't see pics , please register or login I'm really happy to finally have the G4 Wysteria! I love when past generation toys get put into new generations. I feel like I should start building a Wysteria army! And still no Lyra. Our Hot Topic had a very small shipment and they already sold out. 147
Pony Corral / Question for Houston area collectors..« on: August 15, 2013, 07:30:26 PM »
How often do you find G1, G2, or G3 ponies at vintage/antique/thrift stores in Houston?
I'm not looking for any specific place thats well known for having them, but more of a general idea of what my chances would be for finding them (unless you'd like to tell me your lucky stores). I live south of Houston, and I've frequently visited all the thrift-like stores in my local towns/cities and have never found anything G1 related other than a VHS tape. Houston is the only city I haven't tried yet. And it's the biggest one too. My collection (ignoring my G4 one) is very small. I have 3 G1's, no G2's, and 8 G3's. I'm mostly looking for G1 toys. I also saw from Craigslist that there's a store on the Katy freeway that only sells vintage toy series and was thinking to try it out. Any info would be most appreciated! 148
Pony Brag Arena / DAV Finds (+ Updated Restoration Photos)« on: August 15, 2013, 12:32:42 PM »
I'm not too interest in collecting G3 ponies like I am the rest, but I saw Wysteria and Toola-Roola in the bag and I couldn't resist. The three ponies came in a bag together for just $3
visitors can't see pics , please register or login Toola-Roola is in the best condition of the three. She has some scuffs I need to clean but shes nothing too crazy. visitors can't see pics , please register or login My second Wysteria! Her cutie mark is fading. I like how it runs all the way down her back leg, can anyone tell me about that? Its like a TAF G3 haha. She has scuffs but also tail rusting. visitors can't see pics , please register or login And Starsong.. Poor poor baby. Her mane and tail are cut. Her tail has some rusting (not as much as wysteria), but shes been colored all over! Upon close examination it appears to be crayon and colored pencil, not marker. I'd like to try and get her fixed up the best I can. Can you guys please tell me tips on getting rid of tail rust, black scuff marks, and colored pencil/crayon? 149
Arts & Crafts Corral / Traditional Pony Art Dump!« on: August 13, 2013, 03:26:25 PM »
I started drawing pony fanart back in 2011 after getting into FIM. I've run two FIM askblogs on tumblr (both short lived due to boredom). But I've actually been drawing in general for about six years. I thought I'd share some of my pony art here too!

Pony Corral / Newbie collector needs cleaning tips! (Images included)« on: August 12, 2013, 12:24:00 PM »
Sorry for the crappy photos, my room has bad lighting.
So I was looking to clean up my first three ponies. They dont have any extreme problems but they could still use a little fixing up. visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login Moonstone has the worse of it. Her front leg has some bright pink highlighter-like spots on them. She also has another bit on her that looks more like nail polish. visitors can't see pics , please register or login Lemondrop has some orange spots on her neck (Possibly marker?) visitors can't see pics , please register or login Scoops has what I thought was built up dirt on her forelegs? The pictures does no justice but its brown and looked like dirt but the magic eraser didn't get any off. She has it on her ear and face too. I just want to make sure I don't do anything stupid and ruin them because they're my first and I love them a lot! |
