woah, congratulations! that's a really good haul. i get shaky when i find ponies i want, too 

thanks to all! 

Congrats on the ponies, they look quite lovely.

thank you!

i can't decide how i feel about them, mostly because of their noodly limbs
Lyra's pose is cute, but her eyes look kind of strange.

last weekend me and my family went to a flea market, and i found some ponies (there were even more that i wanted to buy, but we ended up buying some vintage pyrex and a table as well and didn't have any money left over, oops!) i haven't posted about them until now because i've been a bit busy 

anyways, i bought Applejack, Mainsail, and Baby Blossom. they were filthy when i found them, and after i bought them i was a little nervous that i had overpaid, but they cleaned up so nicely! here are some before and after shots.
they were so dirty before that i didn't want to put them directly on my couch...

Baby Blossom was filthy, but a little scrubbing and hair styling and she looked almost new, aside from that blue pen mark on her NDS cutie mark!

Mainsail's color was about 10 times brighter after i cleaned her, i was really amazed. as you can see, her hair was really bad. i would've flat ironed it or used the boiling method had i not been afraid of melting her thermal hair, so i did the best i could. i don't think it turned out too bad!

Applejack was in the best condition out of the trio when i got them. i still need to fix the nick in her eye, but she looks pretty great. it doesn't show up that well in the pictures, but i think her tail is a rehair. her head has obviously been popped off, and her tail is a bright, neon color compared to her hair.

there you have it! a small haul, but a great addition to my g1 collection 

i own a Nightmare Moon, although i'm yet to own a Celestia, and i got her at Barnes and Noble. she was the last one surrounded by a bunch of Celestias and Discords. her box was kinda banged up on the corners, but she displays very nicely out of box! i hope  everyone who wants her can find her, best of luck 

i've never noticed the resemblance before... good catch! i've always thought of Rarity as Sparkler's descendant, but now i'll always see Diamond Mint as being part of that family tree.
