I know MOs are usually worth more, but this one seems to be pretty common and low-priced.  I have one with some flaws that I was thinking of customizing, but I figured I should check first.  :good:

So, what say you, good pony folk?

Pony Corral / Got paint to restore some eyes and symbols!!
« on: November 30, 2015, 12:47:45 PM »
I got to go shopping yesterday (my husband let me go to a craft store unsupervised!!), and I got some acrylics and brushes to rescue some ponies who need a touch-up.  :good:  I haven't done any cleaning on these ponies, but I'll do that before I start painting, of course.  :)

This Apple Jack has some very faded apples on one side.  (She also has a very rusty washer, which has caused some other issues inside.)

Baby Stockings has a pretty severe eye rub.  (I'll see about fixing that ear some other time.)

Salty's symbol is a bit scratched.  I actually haven't definitely decided that I'm going to touch it up, but I'm thinking I'll like it better if I do.

Both of Seaflower's eyes need some attention, one more than the other.  (And she'll eventually get new hair, too.)

Star Hopper has been shown before, but now I'm actually ready to work on her mangled symbol and pen-stabbed eye.  (Her new hair will be coming soon, and then I can show her off to everyone.)

So excited to get started!!   :frolic:

Customs / Source for tinsel?
« on: November 24, 2015, 12:19:03 PM »
I want to put tinsel in a rehair that I'm planning.  Anyone have a good place to get some?

Thanks!!  :good:

Pony Corral / Does anyone actually like the eyelash princesses...?
« on: November 24, 2015, 11:09:40 AM »
Rather, does anyone like the lashes?  I'm thinking of taking the lashes off my pink one, but I suppose that would decrease her value...   :yikes:

Pony Corral / Head/body mismatch
« on: November 23, 2015, 03:23:58 PM »
Is there anything that can be done to correct a mismatched head and body?  Will sunfading work?  Anything else?

Customs / Finishing off with loop-and-lock technique
« on: November 21, 2015, 11:23:29 AM »
I just read through this tutorial on rehairing (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,357903.0.html), and it looks like a great way to redo a mane.  However, it doesn't say what to do to secure the final plug.  Anyone know?

Thanks!!  :)

Pony Corral / Restoring Star Hopper's mane
« on: November 21, 2015, 10:59:01 AM »
My rather abused Star Hopper has a few plugs cut from the beginning of her mane.  I'm thinking that I'd like to replace them, but I'm having a hard time with the tinsel aspect.  Do you think it would look very bad to just do plain hair?  Or would it just be a whole lot better to add tinsel?  (Not sure when I'll actually get around to do this, but I'm thinking about it while I try to clean up/restore the rest of her body.)

Pony Corral / Can anything be done to repair sliced vinyl?
« on: November 19, 2015, 03:25:09 PM »
It really looks as though someone took a knife to the Sky Hopper that I got last weekend (as well as drawing on her and possibly stabbing her eyes with a pen).  She has cuts that go all the way through the vinyl.  Is there a way to fix these so she looks decent?  Or is she pretty much bait?

(She's my first adult sparkle pony, and I'd like to save her if I can.)

I already know I'll have to take her apart to deal with a rusty washer and other interior marks, if it's worth trying to restore her.

I don't know a whole lot about G4, but I have a Pinkie Pie with suitcase and hedgehog.  Any idea what she would be worth?  I can get pictures later.

Edited:

Here are a couple pictures:

So this is the lot I got today:  46 ponies (plus some brushes and a carrying case) for $45--less than $1 per pony.   :biggrin:

And yes, that is Mimic in the middle.  NEAR MINT.   :frolic:

I'll post more pictures later.  The lighting isn't great right now.   :silly:


Edited:

OK, as promised, here are some more photos.  I haven't done any cleaning on these.

First, the "exciting" ones.   :P  Look how pink the streak in Mimic's mane is!!

A couple of CF girls.

Cherries Jubilee is the only tailless one of the lot.  The apples on AJ's other side are pretty faded.

Those eyelashes on Princess Royal Pink just annoy me.  BBE Cuddles has no eye rust!!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Star Hopper appears to have numerous slices in the vinyl, as well as other issues; Boysenberry Pie has some facial "decorations"; and Baby Sparkle Gusty had part of her mane hacked off.

I think both Sundances just need cleaning, although the one on the left is oddly squishy.  Baby Stockings has an eye rub and is missing the tip of an ear.

Poor Seaflower has seen better days.  Not sure what to do about her hair.

These guys are in pretty good shape, although Baby Bows has blush rubs.

Salty, Fizzy, and a couple newborns.

Some nice curl in Tip Toes' hair.  Surf Rifer has her float.

Pony Bride has nice soft hair, and SS Gusty's flocking is perfect!!

Three G2s (Light Heart, Blue Pearl, and Sugar Belle).  I don't know what the orange one is.  (Edited: I've been informed that she is G3.5 Scootaloo.)

Two Magic Meadows (Cabbage Patch) Springsong variations.

And the fakies.  Two Remcos (both missing the orange streaks in their manes), two purple Tonka unicorns, and something with no markings (other than "Made in China").

Whew!!  I have lots of ponies to clean up!!


Edited again:

I forgot to add Sunny Bunch earlier, since I had put her beside her twin that I've had since I was a little girl.

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Frizz-busting a Fairy Tail Friend
« on: November 13, 2015, 07:38:06 PM »
I'm not sure exactly how I acquired this Tu Tu Tails way back when, but I am not her original owner.  (I don't have a perch for her, hence, the borrowed Pony accessory.  :) )  At any rate, while her forelock was in pretty good shape, her tail was ALWAYS a mess of frizz, so I kept it braided.

Once I took out the braids:

After loads of conditioner, lots of combing, and a few passes with the flat iron:
