Pony Corral / PC and Restoration help with SS Cupcake
« on: August 26, 2020, 04:04:54 PM »
I recently purchased this Cupcake.  As you can see in the pics, she does come with her back card, as well as her original bubble.  The front of the card is pretty torn up, but it looks like the entire thing is there, and could possibly be lined up by someone with more skills than mine and fixed. Back card is worn, but pretty and with no major creases She has no accessories. 
Pony herself is not missing one strand of flocking, and has lovely factory curls.  They are dry and a bit frizzed, but I am not sure what to do about that.
The big problem is those spots visible on her legs.  They are a rusty brown color and really stand out.  She does not smell of mold or anything like that.
What would be the best method for restoring her without damaging her perfect flocking?   
Also, price check please for her with the spots, and for if I can remove them.

Pony Corral / Price Check: Summer/Windy Wings
« on: May 26, 2020, 02:34:26 PM »
I hope I'm in the right place, I couldn't find a forum just for price checks. 
I'm looking to add Summer/Windy wings to my collection, to go along with their custom babies.  The only one I have is Sun Glider, except for a bait Little Flitter.   
I know that Windy Wings tend to be harder to find, but I'm just looking to get an idea of what they generally go for these days.

Customs / Does anyone do custom plush any longer?
« on: May 10, 2020, 01:40:42 PM »
I hope I'm in the right spot.  I would love to commission a custom plush, but am struggling outside of Etsy.  I would prefer to have someone in the community to it.   I am looking for a baby unicorn.  Thanks!

Pony Corral / Oops! This is a new one!
« on: April 25, 2020, 02:59:37 PM »
A few weeks ago, I bought an anniversary Pinwheel at Target.  I hadn't realized how pretty she is with fresh symbols.  I set her, sill in her box, on a shelf while I decided what to do and forget about her. 
Well, she fell off the shelf today.  I picked her up to put her back and...well...her horn snapped off!  I'm not sure how this happened, but dang, she must be hard as a rock in there!
I still can't figure out how to post a pic, but she has a gaping hole in her head, and her horn is rattling around the bottom of the box.

Customs / Customizing Playsets?
« on: April 24, 2020, 04:30:31 PM »
What is the best way to customize a playset?  Would putting down a layer of spray paint as a base give regular paint something to hold on to?
I have two G3 playsets that I would like to do something with, but I'm not sure where to start

Customs / My First Custom, Baby Little Flitter
« on: March 23, 2020, 02:23:31 PM »
I have tried a half dozen times, and can not get the pictures to post properly, so I'm just leaving a link (I hope that's ok!)
I may have gone a bit overambitious with this one, but I had a vision in mind, and I am currently in quarantine, so away I  went.
Baby Little Flitter was an HQG1 Teeny blank pony.   I painted her, which went pretty well.  A few missteps, and I will definitely be improving with practice.   
I rehaired her, and that was a job and a half.  I spent the first 4 hours struggling and losing 3 plugs for every one that stayed in.   Then it all clicked and I managed the last 1/3 of her mane without losing a single plug!   I should have styled before the wings, but you live and learn.
The wings are handmade and were also a bit of a learning curve.  I left tabs on each and fully intended to cut a slit in her back and feed the tab through.  Both tabs snapped off immediately, so I ended up using a thin needle to prop the wings and gluing them in place.
All in all, I am very pleased with her!   She is precious and I love how she turned out. 
Next pony will be a full custom.

Price Check Archives / Price Check on MOC, HTF G1
« on: April 05, 2017, 10:42:50 AM »
I have sadly concluded that some of my herd need to find other pastures.  It doesn't seem likely that I will be somewhere where I can display them anytime soon, and they need to be enjoyed by someone.  I need a price check on the following:
MOC Baby Drummer:  Pony and acc mint, box in terrible condition.
MOC Baby Stripes and Nectar:  Pony and Acc mint, terrible box
MOC G2 Princesa Lula y Princesa Libra.  Card in great condition, other than the plastic the reinforces the hanging part is badly yellowed.  There are not words for how cute these babies are.
Complete Berrytown (Berryton?) family:  Fair condition.   All are nice and white, but with faded hair.  Stray marks, but they are only noticeable close up.  They display well and someone who is better with dye than I am could really have some nice ponies.
NBBE Baby Ribbon:  Gorgeous pony, symbol has some scuffs.  TBH, it looks like it as not strongly applied, which seems to be common with her.
Baby Lucky Leaf and Leafy:  I have never seen these two so nice.  Luck Leaf has her factory curls and I see the tinest mark on Leafy's head, but only if you are looking closely.  Anyone would be lucky to have these two and they are hard to think about giving up.
Baby Princess Sparkle:  Her hair is still pink!  Most of her tinsel is uncrinkled and she is bright white.  She has a large grey (looks like marker) dot on her cheek and faded pen in the same ear.
Bobby:  White (maybe it started out pink?) hair, no mechanism or symbol.
Baby Leaper:  Near Mint. Hair maybe a tad dry.
Baby Lollipop:  Near Mint. I can't find any flaws on her.
Baby Blue Ribbon:  Looks great!  Some symbol scuffs
Baby Countdown:  Great condition.
Complete Sweet Celebrations Family, including UK sister.  Good to very good condition.  Minor symbol wear.
Trillion Custom:  Purple Luck Dragon.  Unfortunatly, this girl had an accident and broke her ear off.  It has been reglued, and from the front and on display you can not tell.  From the back, though, there is an obvious chip in the purple, revealing the white pony ear underneath.  This is only visible from the back. 
Pictures can be provided, and feel free to PM me with offers.   I am in the US and buyer pays shipping.

Price Check Archives / Price Check: Mommy and Baby Plush Lofty
« on: January 18, 2017, 12:26:10 PM »
It has been forever since I've seen either one of these!  Both are in fantastic condition.  Baby has the prettiest curls I have ever seen.  Both clean and from nonsmoking home.

Price Check Archives / Price Check on Some HTF G1
« on: September 02, 2015, 07:20:22 PM »
Sadly, my apartment is too small to hold all of my lovelies. They have been packed away and I want someone to be able to enjoy and display them again.  I'm not sure what to ask for them, so I figured I would ask those wiser then I:

Berryton/Berrytown family:  Complete.  Hair is faded on all 3, and dry, but bodies are extremely white.  Symbols look great as well.  Would like to sell together, but will consider separating.

Baby Princess Sparkle:  Hair is still pink and symbols are nice.  She has a large grey dot on one cheek (looks like marker) that I have been unable to remove.  Body is white

Bobby:  Pink hair version that has faded to white.  No marks on body

Tall Tales: Hair dry but with some curl remaining.  I've never actually seen her for sale.

NBBE Baby Ribbon:  Symbol has some scuffs, otherwise great condition.

Fireball:  Great condition.  NDS has two small bite marks.  One is in hoof and barely noticeable.  Other is pretty noticeable.

Baby Blue Ribbon:  Awesome condition

Baby Leaper:  Fantastic condition with factory curls

Baby Countdown:  I can barely see his freckles, but this may be they way he came?  Great condition

Pearly Baby Moondancer:  Great condition, but I don't think she's that HTF

Complete Sweet Celebrations Family with UK Sister:  Good condition

Complete Pink family (Name escapes me) with UK brother:  Dad is in poor condition, everyone else looks good

Baby Lucky Leaf and Leafy:  I love these two. They are so pretty in person.  Hair on Lucky Leaf is dry and a little frizzy, but I'm afraid to damager her beautiful factory curls.  Body and symbol are flawless

I can take pictures for anyone interested

Also located Edgar the Elephant and the Cuteasaurus, both in excellent condition.  The Cuteasaurus even has a white ribbon, though I'm not sure if that came with her originally.
