Pony Corral / Every time...
« on: October 29, 2014, 03:54:26 AM »
I see a Cranberry Muffins for sale I go "I need.. oh wait I got you a couple of years ago".

It took me that long to track her down that she's still on my Need-Pony Radar. I also do it with some swap ponies.

Does anybody else find this?

Up came third and is based on the Disney Pixar movie. All the balloons are individually hand sculpted (layer upon layer) and have real strings going down to the chimney. Up is for sale for £45. :)

The Wind Whistler's are for my army and came 2nd. They were hand sculpted and airbrushed then had eyes and symbols painted before being rehaired.

Pony Corral / Crystal size G2 Babies
« on: September 28, 2014, 02:33:43 PM »
Does anybody know what size crystals the G2 babies take? I know they're smaller than the adults (which are 2.6mm) but I am not sure how much smaller to go (given that you can buy them by the 0.1mm!) and don't want to end up with loads that I can't use!

Customs / Ideas for a G2 Pegasus?
« on: September 20, 2014, 03:13:50 AM »
I have a G2 bait with wings and having finished the wings I have no idea what to turn her into! I've already got a G2 Wind Whistler in the works so that leaves me a bit stuck..

Any ideas?

Price Check Archives / PC G4 Rarity symbol/tail DJ
« on: July 17, 2014, 08:46:42 AM »
From Taobao, has DJ's head but a straight leg, Rarity's symbol and tail.

I'm using quite a few Rarity's for bait at the minute and wondering whether to do the same with this!

Trader & Shipping Support / Taobao - bank transfer
« on: July 02, 2014, 11:16:31 AM »
It appears that my agent has had trouble with PayPal and branded goods, to the point where now they only want payment by Western Union or Bank Transfer for branded goods such as MLP.

I've used them twice in the past and been really happy but my gut feeling is that a bank transfer would be a bad idea! Has anybody else done this?

Trader & Shipping Support / Need somebody in the US to help me out
« on: May 25, 2014, 11:09:26 AM »
There is an auction on eBay where the seller only ships to the states, would somebody be willing for me to have the parcel sent to them and then forward it on to me? I will of course pay all costs :)

MLP Nirvana / PC Please - Argie Sky Flier
« on: February 15, 2014, 11:20:32 AM »
Sky Flier was an "OMG NIRVANA!" impulse buy on eBay several years ago. I can't remember what I paid for her, but she was in worse condition (her face was totally brown) and I'd like to know her value now.

The staining simply faded in the sun as I used to keep her on my top shelf. I guess I could seek to get rid of any other patches of it (mostly now under her mane and on her belly) but she displays so nicely. Her hair is gorgeous but I think it's a re-hair (she isn't marked as such, naughty person who did it!). Her tail is cable tied but no signs of rust (this makes me think it's not original - why would you take out the clamp?) and her mane has been done using a re-rooting tool if it has been done. Very even on the inside, I can't say for certain. There is glue but it doesn't look like any other glue I've seen inside a Hasbro pony.

Sigs & Site Support / Announcements
« on: February 15, 2014, 11:00:32 AM »
So I look in the Site Announcements area maybe twice a year. :blush:

Is there a way that I can get email notification when something goes up in there?

Customs / Anybody sawn the horn of a regular brushable G4?
« on: February 14, 2014, 12:02:20 PM »
Distinct lack of white earth G4s available - and the prospect of buying several unicorns and several pegasi to do a head swap (and be left with several alicorns!) is expensive.

Does anybody know how much would would be involved in de-horning a Rarity? Could I just cut carefully and sand smooth, or would I have a hole to patch?

Pony Corral / Oi Ikea! (display question)
« on: February 12, 2014, 12:31:33 PM »
I know that you probably didn't design your Billy bookcases with pony collectors in mind, but that stupid fixed shelf in the middle, and the fact that you didn't drill holes in all the way up each side and instead left gaps, are making it rather awkward to sort things out over here.

I think I'll be taking two of my book cases down to drill some holes in better places so I can put all my shelves where I want to! Has anybody else had to work around their display units? Has anybody found the ultimate perfect display unit?

The things we do for our ponies ;)

Price Check Archives / PC please - G1 Boys (pic heavy)
« on: February 10, 2014, 06:05:14 AM »
I'm interested in the current value of these boys please :)

Daddy Apple Delight - Nice silky uncut tail, but no mane. It was buzz cut and I took it out with a view to rehairing and haven't gotten around to it. Could I have a PC for as-is (he's really too nice to bait!) and rehaired?

Thundercloud - Cut mane but it is nice and silky, and a donor tail which is shorter than his ought to be, but it's quite a nice tail all the same. His body is rather grey and there's a definite mismatch between his head and body. A few brown spots which I believe are cancer, his eyes, symbols and freckles are just lovely.

Thundercloud 2 - a rather decent shade of purple! Uncut mane (recurled) and tail, scratches to both symbols but his eyes and freckles are unrubbed. He also has a few brown spots and a few scratches to his NDS ear and brow.

Fireball - has chickenpox! Bad regrind spots which are slightly raised. Don't seem to be leaking plasticiser any more. His mane and tail have been trimmed but still style nicely. Eyes, freckles and symbols are lovely, there is what appears to be a slight factory flaw in his DS symbol which makes it look like it's been slightly scratched.

Fireball 2 - Uncut mane and tail, very nice. He is two shades on his DS - I can't tell whether his bum has bleached a little in the sun or purple from his mane has transferred to the shoulder area. Not particularly noticeable on display though. He has rubs to both symbols but his freckles and eyes are untouched. He does have a couple of bright pink marks, I'm struggling to tell whether these are highlighter or regrind as they are nothing like other Fireball. He's also had tail rust as the hole is slightly marked. There is what looks to be a factory flaw in his DS front hoof (missing bit of plastic) and he has a scratch to his NDS ear.

Pony Corral / When you buy a pony...
« on: February 09, 2014, 06:25:18 AM »
If that pony no longer has its original factory hair style, but has been washed and de-frizzed:

Would you rather that the pony is restyled to have it's original factory hair, or is it enough that the pony is frizz free?

I have a load of ponies to clean for sale and I'm not sure whether I need to restyle them all  :P
