Hey Arena!
I just came in possession of Precious Gem, one of my grails, with her factory curls intact. However, she needs restoration, including a hair cleaning that will ultimately straighten out her hair.
Does anyone have an idea on how I could go about either restoring or keeping her factory curls, instead of recurling her hair a different way?
Precious Gem's factory curls are extremely important to me here, and if I can't have a way to go about cleaning her hair up without keeping them in some way, then I'll just not have to restore her, and keep her in this semi-dirty state she's in. Mind you, it's not bad, her hair is still soft, but white ponies do take a fair bit of surface dirt.

For a while, I've had a Furby Baby in my possession, a shy sweetheart I named Lotus! She has squeaky gear syndrome, something I was expecting from her due to her wear, but as I've played with her (and introduced her to my Color Change, Caramel), she will often go to sleep after just a short amount of play (longest she's stayed awake has maybe been 10 minutes).
Now, I have never heard of a Furby Baby having Me-Sleep-Again. But due to the circumstances, I think Lotus may just be. Luckily her brand of it will allow me to flip her to wake her up, so it isn't too awful.
I'd just like to ask if anyone around here knew if Babies could have MSA, or if that's just generally unheard of and my gal just likes to sleep a lot?

Do you have photos? Is it possible it's tarnished, not rust? Silver tarnishes so you should be able to polish it easily
Yeah, we figured after I posted this it was tarnish. Problem is it'll just tarnish again if we do polish it...

I recently came into possession of three new bears for my collection! The ever crazy-rare Pink Power, the 25th Anniversary Tenderheart, and a scented Funshine!
As many will know, the 25th Anni bears' main selling point is their Swarovski crystal eyes and sterling silver accents, which 25th Tenderheart has plenty of. But there's a problem with mine... his nose is rusted.
I only saw it today, and while it hasn't stained any of the white fur, my Tenderheart's nose is that horrible shade of rust red-orange. He's MIB, so I don't know how this could've happened.
I don't normally deal with rust. Tail rust in my personal ponies is a problem I rarely run into (being primarily a G3 collector), and when we have run into it's been minor or the ponies are in bait condition in the first place.
My question, is what on earth do I do? I thought sterling silver wasn't supposed to rust, and yet it has. How do I clean this off of Tenderheart without damaging anything else?

Eh, I'd be curious if the other stickers are just as old. The circus one looks older due to the logo.
It's not so much lost, but dead stock..
ETA: I'm totally right. That circus one is older

Well. For a lot of stores that carry AG product, AG owns them-- this wouldn't apply. They rent the space from the store to sell their product -- and the store gets a percentage of the sales. (At least in the main stores.) I always forgot if that applied to things other than cards, but Aurora's comment makes me think that.
I think that they might sell their old stock to other places.. but if this is at grocery stores / drug stores / target / and walmart... then pretty sure that isn't the case.
I wonder if this is happening to multiple old sticker packs then, not just the 3.5s we've been finding recently. I wonder if this is AG grabbing at their old stock to get rid of it- it seems plausible. Usually people have been finding them at bargain shops. It can be that AG is selling old stock elsewhere, even at Targets and Walmarts. I guess they'll sell it to whoever's taking it, as long as they're making a profit selling old merch, then AG would be fine with it, right? I should try to email them to see if that's the case, if I get a response at all.

 Today, I found G3.5 stickers in a local CVS. I bought two sheets, my curiosity piqued. Dated 2010. This isn't the first time we've found 3.5 stickers in the wild like this, either. My collector friends and mutuals have reported these things too. In a Hobby Lobby, a Five Below, many more "bargain stores" like these, we continue to find 3.5 era stickersheets and stickerpads. What's weirding me out is, why is no one talking about this? There's no report on these on places I'd expect to report on these. So I'm digging into it myself, I guess. My mom figures it was a lost shipment, now spread to bargain stores across the US because of their age. My question for you all is, have you found G3.5 stickers in the past year? When? Where? And does anyone have any idea why they're appearing at all? The only known pattern to their appearances are in low-priced stores, all in the US as far as I've heard. When were they dated? Is this an omen that G3.5 is going to destroy the world because we called it the worst generation and we need to praise the great 3.5 gods lest we perish? (Okay, that's a joke.) Pictures would be grand- I wanna crack this "case"! EDIT:Here's the ones I found.

Simply wondering how much loose, slightly worn Pony Bride goes for, since I hear that no matter her wear she can go for a crazy high price.

Awww, that is sad to hear.  Is it the "outer" part that turns brown or the part underneath?
(For those who haven't owned a Magic Message pony, part of it is printed on the pony's bum like a regular symbol. Then a second 'layer' of symbol is added over it. Like the cloud for Cloud Dreamer. And when you press the 2nd part, the print below it shows through.
oh my god its heck yeah pony scans themselves!I didn't know it was layered! I guess I should have figured that, though. As for which layer it is, I have no clue, but I believe it's the outer part. Post Merge: April 10, 2018, 02:36:09 PMThe symbols on these are pretty delicate, I have heard of them coming away completely at the least thing, so I wouldn't advise messing with it too much to be honest.
I am not sure if by brown you mean the film-like heat sensitive substance that covers the symbols - I have noticed this can go brown around the edges. None of my loose ponies have an overall brown symbol, though a couple have really worn symbols. But I have seen brownish around the edges of these where you can see the heat sensitive covering.
I believe it to be the heat sensitive coat, though I may be wrong.

I found my first Magic Message G1 at a thrift store- Cloud Dreamer. Her cutie mark went brown.
For those who don't know: Magic Message ponies usually have solid blue cutie marks until you apply heat/rub them, then pictures appear.
But even the ponies on My Little Wiki show their brown symbols! Cloud Dreamer's seem to be the worst. Windy/Magical Breeze's also does it, and the others do it to a lesser extent.
Is there an explanation, and are the cutie marks worth repainting?

I’m not sure which pose Yesterdaisy you have, but here is my original Yesterdaisy with her pink hair  I don’t know if the original has fading pink hair, but I think the second one (turning head, wysteria pose) does I think

I have her in her original pose! She's just gone stark white, like a little old lady! Thanks for showing me your non-faded Yesterdaisy though, she's very pretty with the pink...

Turns out my Yesterdaisy is my most faded pony. I thought all Yesterdaisys' hair were pure white!
Anyone with a non-faded Yesterdaisy willing to show me what she looks like with her natural pink hair? I know I can look at her reference on Strawberry Reef, but I wanna see it in other lighting.
