Pony Corral / Lala-oopsie Sea Horses?!
« on: March 02, 2013, 02:53:13 PM »
I'm not sure how new this is but the other day when I was at Walmart looking at ponies I found these sea horses right next to them! Look a little familiar huh? ;)
Do you think if they sell well it might motivate Hasbro to make g4 sea ponies?? We already know about the book coming out mentioning them but do you think there will actually be toys in the future?

Pony Corral / G1 Blossom Purse?
« on: February 24, 2013, 05:20:44 PM »
I recently bought a G1 Blossom Purse off of ebay (should be coming in the mail any day now). I tried doing some research before I bought it but couldn't really find anything and the ones I did find (on My Little Wiki) weren't the exact same one as this one, they were bigger.
Even though the pony is a bit discolored and there is some wear and tear on the bag itself there was just something about it that was calling to me, so I went ahead and bought it :) Plus, who wouldn't want to walk around with an MLP attached to their purse? ;)

I was wondering if anyone has any information about this specific Blossom bag, release year, etc.
I can't wait to get it in the mail!
Here's a link to it! http://www.ebay.com/itm/190800248327?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

MLP Nirvana / Can we please talk about piggy ponies?!
« on: February 24, 2013, 12:03:44 PM »
I've had a stressful night last night and for some reason I keep thinking about this Spanish Piggy Pony I saw on ebay yesterday and I can't help but get a little smile on my face. They really are the strangest thing I have ever seen!
Does anyone have any info about how they came about? They have the strangest, chubbiest little bodies! And those eyes! :lol: They kind of creep me out in a weird cute-ish kind of way :lol:

I would love to see pictures if anyone has any! ;)

Trader & Shipping Support / Ebay issues (new question)
« on: February 24, 2013, 01:41:55 AM »
So I managed to get my first ever sale on Ebay recently and I thought I had everything all figured out and ready to go until I went to the post office to pick up a small flat rate box...
Apparently I had no idea how small the boxes actually are because there is no way that the item I sold is going to fit into it >_< I already printed out the label and everything! I feel so lost right now in what I should do, ugh.
I'm assuming that I can't put the label I printed onto a different box that would fit the item because on the top it says small flat rate, so what do I do? Pay for shipping myself on the new box and message the buyer telling them there was an issue and that I have to give them a new tracking number??
Ugh! Please help!

Edit: Resolved, thanks for all the help! I voided the current shipping label. I do have another question however, it's in the last comment I left on this page. Thanks!

I recently found a 1982 Hong Kong Patent Pending Collectors Pose Bowtie and I was wondering if anyone had any information on it? Is it sought after at all?
Thanks!

Customs / Grey hair??
« on: January 11, 2013, 11:59:54 PM »
Hello all :) I've been debating making a custom of my OC Moon Dust and am having a hard time finding a grey that would match her mane/tail. Everything on DollyHair is too light or just black and I'm looking for a darker grey. She is my avatar and signature if you need a reference picture. Any thoughts or ideas?? Thanks! :)

Pony Corral / New Packaged Ponies & Toothbrush Holder at Walmart!
« on: December 14, 2012, 12:44:25 AM »
Hey guys!
 I went to my local Walmart last night to have some Christmas cards made up and while I was waiting for them to be done I decided to wander over to the toy section ;)
I was greeted by a Crystal Empire Pinkie Pie in the new packaging! I was so excited and she was the only one left ^.^ After a while of looking around for Christmas presents I stumbled across a Twilight Sparkle (definitely not in the right section) and another Pinkie Pie (thrown on a random shelf), so naturally I grabbed Twilight and convinced my grandma to buy the other Pinkie as a Christmas present for this little girl she was getting presents for ;)
I have to say that I wasn't too excited when I saw the pictures of them online but in person I just loved them! The packaging is great and the tinsel in their hair is a really nice touch. I like the packaging so much that I think I'm going to leave them boxed :lol:

Also upon wandering around Walmart for an hour I came across this strange Twilight Sparkle toothbrush holder :lol: She looks very... interesting :lol:

Pony Corral / Cleaning help *Update - all cleaned up!*
« on: November 16, 2012, 12:34:21 PM »
I just recently scored a nice little lot of ponies on craigslist. All of them were in really good condition except for this little seapony who has these black smudges all over her. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but I don't think that it's marker.
I was just wondering if anyone had any tips that I could try? I don't have a Magic Eraser on hand so I haven't been able to try that yet. She's just so cute and it makes me sad to see her covered in all that stuff :(

Pony Brag Arena / Craigslist Finds!
« on: November 15, 2012, 09:35:04 PM »
Finally after what feels like forever, I finally managed to score some ponies off of Craigslist! I check literally all the time but there is never anything around here :( I was so excited when I came across these guys and even more excited when I actually got them in my possession tonight!
For the most part they are all in really great condition with the exception of the little pink seapony (her name is escaping me at the moment) who has quite a bit of black marks on her (which I have now successfully cleaned off her!) and the green seapony due to her head and body being different shades of green. Overall I love them all despite some of their flaws ^.^

Trader & Shipping Support / Postal Scale help?
« on: July 13, 2012, 08:51:33 PM »
(Wasn't sure if I should post this here or in 'Off Topic' so I hope it's in the right place!)

I'm looking to buy a relatively inexpensive postal scale that can weigh items up to 35lbs. I know a lot of people on the arena own postal scales to ship things so I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place or website to buy them? :)
Thanks in advance!

Pony Brag Arena / 2 grails obtained! (& other additions!)
« on: June 07, 2012, 01:08:59 PM »
[stickied 8/6/12 - kiwimlp :) ]
unstickied 10/6/12
So over the past couple of weeks I've obtained 2 of my grails and I'm so excited to finally have them in my possession!
Gusty has always been a want for me, she is so beautiful and I feel like it's taken me forever to find one in good enough condition for my collection. I'm not too picky but I wanted her to be white and not yellow. Finally I found one that was decent enough (she was a bit yellowed in the pic) and to my surprise when I got her, she was actually a lot more white than I excepted!  :happy:
My other grail was First Tooth Baby Quackers. I have no idea why but I saw her when I first started collecting G1s (I was about 7 or so) and I just wanted her really bad. I never ended up getting her so she's always been there in the back of my mind while collecting, it was like I was obligated to get her lol So I'm happy she is finally in my collection!

Another pony to my collection is TAF Sugarberry. She was originally going to be a replacement for one of my childhood ponies but instead I'm giving her to my older sister as a coming home present. My sister has gone through some really tough times over the past few years and just recently we were talking about 80s ponies (she started me collecting) and she mentioned that she had Sugarberry as a child and would love to get her again. I thought it would be a nice surprise for her  ;)
And last but not least, TAF Sweet Tooth that I won through a drawing thread on here!

I have yet to do any of their hair, but here are all the girls together  ^.^ !

Pony Corral / Any info on Soma fakies? & another small id
« on: June 02, 2012, 01:37:12 PM »
I recently went over to my grandmother's house and she handed me this pony that she found in my old toy bin thinking it was an MLP. I had a couple of them when I was younger and I remember playing with them. Poor thing is in bad need for a bath lol I was wondering if anyone had any info on them? Names? If they're sought after? etc. I couldn't find anything on Google. He's about the size of a G4 blind bag.

She also gave me this little guy but I have no idea where it's too. It has a little hole on its underside for it to attach to something I think..

Pony Corral / Questions about removing marker & discoloration
« on: May 15, 2012, 05:00:55 PM »
I have a Windy that is pretty dear to me, she was the first pony I got that started me into collecting them. Recently I've been taking better care of her by washing her mane/tail and scrubbing her with a Magic Eraser but I have to idea how to go about removing this pink marker off of her cheek. She also has little spots of it here and there on the rest of her body but I'm mainly concerned with the big one. I was thinking about sunfading but I've never sunfaded a pony before and I don't know how I would go about covering her glitter symbols.

(As a side note, I'm not sure if she is originally supposed to be purple or white. I know there is a variation of her lol)

I also recently received a Baby Blue Ember from a tag sale who is in great condition other than the fact that she has discolored a bit. I was wondering if there is any way I could restore her back to a closer blue to what she originally was?

If anyone could help that would be great! I've been meaning to ask this a longggg time ago but have been procrastinating  :lol:

Customs / Fakie --> G1 Baby Bubbles (Finally Finished!)
« on: May 07, 2012, 02:20:25 PM »
For my birthday this year my boyfriend stumbled across some MLPs at a second hand shop and bought them for me. In it was this baby G1 mold fakie but she had no tail so I was thinking about customizing her. I'm not too partial to fakies so I thought I would try and make her look as close to a real G1 baby as I could.
Here's what I have so far!
I just need to re-touch some lines and obviously get her some hair. I've never rehaired a pony before so I'm kind of a mix of nervous and excited  :lol:  I just can't wait to get it in my hands and finish her up!
Here she is before (the little pink gal at the end):

And here she is currently:

I'm very happy with how her eyes came out. I definitely prefer a pen/pencil to a paintbrush any day so I feel pretty darn proud that I was able to make it work  :lol:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINALLY got around to giving her some hair, so here's the final product! :biggrin:

And with Mommy Bubbles ^.^

Not sure if I really want to part with her or not, so it's kind of up in the air at the moment but if anyone's interested in her please feel free to send me a message :) Keep in mind that she is my very first custom so she definitely has her flaws but overall I'm pleased with how she came out ^.^
