Pony Brag Arena / My Current Herd! <3 :)
« on: August 15, 2015, 11:01:41 AM »
For those who were waiting for photos of my current herd.. Y'all don't have to wait any longer!  ^.^ Sorry for all the shadows! My room doesn't have the best lighting..  :P
My new shelving unit also holds multiple collections..not just MLP! I decided to display the newly bought ponies on it, with the exception of two babies. Baby Moondancer is not pictured; she's currently undergoing restoration treatment.  ^.^

Bowtie, AppleJack, FF Blossom and SS Fifi are still in the special barn stable area..  ;) I put the plastic baggie over them for dust protection, but I gotta give them another light cleaning.. :biggrin:

And here are my new beauties! All of them have had their spa treatments, with the exception of Cherries Jubilee, because she didn't need one (wow!) and Butterscotch, because I simply forgot about her... oops! Sorry, girl!  >_< :) The Glitter sisters are separated..I know that will bother some of y'all. :P ;) I will eventually display the babies and their accessories better.. :)

Thanks for looking!  ^.^

Pony Brag Arena / My Last Brag.. for a while.. :)
« on: August 06, 2015, 11:22:53 AM »
Hay ponies!  :biggrin:

This is a long overdue pony brag, featuring my last two additions to my herd.. at least for a while anyway! I'm currently concentrating more on my vintage Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bear collections.. ^.^ :)

Here are my beautiful Cherries Jubilee, and lovely TE Quackers! I bought these as birthday presents to myself.. :satisfied:

CJ was so awesome when she arrived, I felt as though she didn't need a spa treatment.. She came with her accessories to boot, the first pony I actually ever gotten with her brush and ribbon..hehe.

And here is the after photo of Quackers.. her gorgeous hair is covering up some age spots, but she's lovely! Work it, girl! ;)

A thank you shoutout to MidnightMocha and Sunshine for the beauties!  They are enjoying their new home! ^.^

Once I get my new shelving unit in place and get organized, I'll take some current photos of my collection!  :)

Pony Corral / G1 Twinkled Eyes! Tail length?
« on: July 12, 2015, 01:50:16 PM »
Do the second set of TEs have longer tails or have I just been inspecting ponies for way too long at one setting??  ^.^ My Quackers just came in Saturday and upon a good look over, I noticed her tail was quite longer in comparison to my other ponies.. then I thought perhaps it was just a TE thing.? So, I pulled out all my other childhood TEs and did notice Locket also has an interestingly longer tail..? Any insight is appreciated!  :)

Hay Ponies!!

Hannah here with another pony brag! Lots of cool and amazing gifts for my upcoming birthday.. I'm celebrating the whole month! :lol: :biggrin:


Wildflower is a gorgeous specimen of a SHS pony that I got in a trade! She didn't need much cleaning, I just washed her hair and styled it... Yes, that hair..!!

Here we have Baby Moondancer and Sunbeam! These are rescues from an owner who no longer wanted them...I told her I'd gladly take them. I did pay a little more, but I was helping the seller out.  :)

Here they are in the middle of their spa with Mr. Clean...Sunbeam's hair literally took nearly an hour to get untangled! Baby still needs some more work..possibly mild restoration work.. :satisfied:

Aaaand.. Magic Star has returned!! YAY HAY!! Thank you Cass/Cassstorm, again for my *beautiful* Magic Star!! And she got me a stand, too!  ^.^ :cool: As a kid I remember petting him (yes, MS was a boy to me back then..lol..) like a real horse because I loved the flocking..  :P I also picked up a great looking Sweet Pop and two missing sisters in other sales.. ;)

Lofty has also settled in nicely!! Another great trade! And factory curls! ^.^

And yes, the Glitter SHS are finally reunited! I totally didn't mean for this to happen.. LOL. The seller had Twinkler at an amazing deal.. She needed to sell most of her collection off due to financial difficulties..I got Twinkler for $4. She also had Starflash for only $6, so I picked her up as well. They still are awaiting their spa treatments.
Bright Night and Sunblossom are my childhood ponies.  ^.^

Pony Corral / Questions about plastic (hard ponies!)
« on: June 28, 2015, 03:19:19 PM »
How do you slow down bad plastic / hard ponies? I know you can't keep it from happening but are there some tricks to slow the process down? Also, is it true the "disease" can spread to 'healthy' ponies? Or is that just a rumor? I have my rock hard Boysenberry Pie with my other ponies and wondered. Thanks!

Price Check Archives / PC on Butterscotch and Minty
« on: June 22, 2015, 07:22:25 PM »
Hay ponies!

Can I get a PC on USA G1 CF Butterscotch and Minty? Butterscotch is in great condition overall. The only thing I noticed is that she has the beginning of tail rust.. How much is her value if I let it be vs. fixing her?

G1 CF Minty overall is nice. The only issues are some marks I couldn't get out from a light bath with a ME.. One symbol rub on her NDS and normal symbol wear from age. I also discovered her forelock has been slightly trimmed..

I'm debating whether or not to keep them or put them up for trade or sale.

Thanks. :)

Customs / Possible restoration project in US, please help!
« on: June 17, 2015, 07:34:37 AM »
Hay there, I have a possible restoration project for someone. Can you or someone you know help me out? Serious restorers only, please! PM me for details. I'm in Texas, USA. Will pay shipping costs and cost of new 'original' materials used. If you are into restoration projects on G1s and would like to help me out, I'd appreciate it! Thanks so much!

Pony Corral / Is it worth to fix Baby Surprise?
« on: June 16, 2015, 07:44:49 PM »
Hi ponies, I have a value / restoration question regarding a G1 Baby Surprise. .. I got her free at a garage sale when I was a young girl. She had tail rust; that's why no one wanted her.. I recently have applied a plain whitening toothpaste "paste" to eliminate the outer rust, and she cleaned up nicely. My question is, is she really worth to fix completely..? Should I spend the extra money and energy to do it, or should I just plan to get an upgrade? I know I could find another fairly easy if I looked hard enough.. Just wanted to get some thoughts. And if I do decide to get her fixed, does anyone know of any restoration folks in or around the state of Texas?!..thanks!

Pony Corral / Best way to clean SS
« on: June 15, 2015, 04:12:10 PM »
Hi ponies! What's the best way to clean and more specifically, get rid of a pen mark on a So Soft? Are pen marks easy to remove? I hope so, I would hate to send her back.

Thank you!

Hi! I am needing outside help to figure out what is a fair trade/best value for shipping a plush wuzzle (going to be like $20).. SS Paradise, Yellow sundae best pony or TAF with the lollipops? I'm guessing TAF, but wanted to ask.. I want either SS or TAF. Thanks!

Pony Corral / Hard Plastic / Very Dark color ?
« on: June 07, 2015, 03:10:33 PM »
Hay ponies! Got a two-part question here regarding a G1 Sweetberry MLP. . . My Boysenberry Pie is a very beautiful dark purple shade. Over the years, her plastic has become hard, other than that, she's in great original condition. A picture can be found in pony brag area under "MLP Collection." 1) Is the dark purple color a factory flaw (I'm guessing yes) and would this combo be good and bad as far as value/rarity?  2) How do you combat the hard plastic, or would you just "let her be?" I'm not selling her, was just curious. ..All the other BPs I have ever seen are not this color..and she's the only pony in my herd with this weird hard plastic. Thanks for your input!

Pony Corral / Short hair vs. long hair
« on: June 03, 2015, 11:03:31 AM »
Hay Ponies!

I'm somewhat familiar with the G1 MLP world, but still have lots to learn (I believe you can learn something new every day, and I'm a sponge right now! lol) :biggrin: Here's another question I have:

I have recently learned there were various G1 USA ponies made with long hair and short hair...This isn't a debate on which is better lol, but rather 1) What ponies have been made that way and 2) Which of each is more sought after / valuable? I'm in the process of making my wish/want lists and just wondered if it would be worth it to add the others I am lacking, along with some new ponies (if any tickle my fancy) with both hair styles/versions.. Here are the ponies I know about so far, with mentioning the ones I have:

1) Medley (I have the long hair version. <3)

2) Bowtie (long hair)

3) Apple Jack (short hair)

I appreciate any and all feedback and info! Thanks!  :frolic:

Pony Brag Arena / MLP Collection
« on: June 02, 2015, 10:27:11 AM »
Hay ponies! May I proudly present my current collection! Battle Cat and She-Ra dolls make an appearance.. :)

I would definitely welcome any and all feedback on this (answer my concerns/questions in the info, value, any hidden gems, etc.!) Most of these are from my original childhood collection. :)

My G1 USA MLP Collection -- NFS -- From back, left to right:
BB Chief (cut front lock, slight symbol rub, some age spotting is starting to appear..waa. This is not from having Masquerade near him, I always had them separate until recently.)
TE Masquerade (pen/crayon markings, age spots, needs a bath! Tail is mysteriously thin…? I think the washer is messed up..? Maybe I pulled some out as a child, but I honestly don’t remember..lol.)
Common (Year 2?) Starshine (Aside from traditional fading and some symbol rust, she’s a beauty…I’m wondering if it would be worth it to re-glitter the symbols?)
Medley  <3 (My first -- long hair version! She may have slight imperfections, but I don’t care..hehe. She needs another trip to the pony salon!)
SS North Star (needs a bath, but I’m not touching; traditional flocking loss/thinning, small pen mark on a leg)
Gusty (Her head kinda leans to make a small gap in the head seam, but precious aside from that..needs a bath!)
PQ SHS Sweet Sundrop (What a beauty! Tail on the dry side..could use another trip to the pony salon..hehe.)
GSHS Bright Night (What a beauty! Traditional tinsel loss in mane)
GSHS Sunblossom (What a beauty! Earring broken off by a toy box lid crushing years ago.. waa!)
TE Fizzy (some pen markings, needs a bath!)
TE Galaxy (needs a bath and another trip to the pony salon!)
Happy Tails Tabby (slight symbol rub, needs a bath! Still works!)
Princess Starburst (tinsel loss in mane, needs a bath!)
Princess Sparkle (needs a bath!)
Baby Wiggles (needs a bath and a trip to the pony salon!)
Baby Sandcastle and Shovels (So cute!! They need a bath! Orange one has some weird bluish-colored marking - age spot(?) on her non-display side of body. ?? Haven’t tried removing it just yet.)
Dance’n Prance Tap Dancer (needs a bath! Still works!)
TE Locket (Probably the worst off in my collection right now, poor girl -- pen marking on nondisplay side, front lock trimmed, tail is on dry side!)
Napper (What a beauty! Regular version -- with original lipstick she came with! Don’t ask me to try it..LOL.)
Regular Twinkler (What a beauty! To Hannah from Mom and date purchased permanent marker under her hoofs, haven’t tried removing this just yet, but I don’t know if I want to..hehe.)
Skyflier (What a beauty! Needs a bath!)
Secret Surprise Pony Secret Beauty (With key, what a beauty!)
WW Starry Wings (I cleaned her recently, some red crayon markings lightened up with Mr. Clean ME.)
SW Glow (What a beauty! She could use a gentle bath, but I’m not touching her.)
Boysenberry Pie (What a beauty! A darker shade too! Is this anything significant or just how she was made?? Her plastic has become hard though, any way(s) to help with this?)
Baby Surprise (Slight symbol rub on display side, slight glitter loss on nondisplay side, but barely noticeable.. I cleaned her recently -- I got her FREE at a 1990s garage sale, with tail rust..lol. It has come up a lot with toothpaste treatments, but I haven’t fixed her yet, and I’m afraid to do it myself! She could use another trip to the pony salon; her hair towards the ends is on the dry side.)
I also have the aqua blue duck comb for Baby Pockets and a sheer MLP “blanket” that was part of an outfit originally purchased for Gusty a long time ago. :-P

In Special Area ‘Barn Stable’ ;-)
Bowtie (What a beauty -- long hair version! I cleaned her recently and took some clear glue substance off of her ear. Some yellow play wear marks on her ears, I think the glue discolored the tips?, who knows how long it had been on her.. One bowtie on each side is slightly rubbed – on the insides, not border, but barely noticeable. One was like that when I purchased her, the other I did when cleaning her.. I was kicking myself!! But it’s on the nondisplay side, so I got over it, sort of..lol)
Apple Jack (What a beauty -- short hair version! A couple of apples have super tiny rubs, but barely noticeable, and I’m OK with it!)
FF Blossom (What a beauty! Some symbol wear (hairline scratches) here and there on some of her flowers, but no biggie to me. Needs a bath, but I don’t want to mess with her..lol.)
SS Fifi (What a beauty! Only thing I found wrong with her when I got her is slight flocking loss on the tip of her horn..)
