The result of collecting since '82 ...I don't remember when I was two, but owning My Little Ponies does date back that far  . Some have been restored in a custom artsy way because of lack of knowledge, while a couple are purely customed because they have doubles in the collection. The only ones not shown is Creamsicle Giraffe which hasn't come in the mail yet, and a Bushwoolie long lost. I do have a wish list for any one interested. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

First question: Are topics deleted after a period of time? I mean this forum has been around for a while right, but I only see posts going back to '12 in one part of the forum.
Second: What is with the comments when logged in? Examples: "Sshh I'm sleeping", and "I didn't know you were a night owl, systemcat". They're cute, I just want to know what's their deal is.

Thanks guys  ! Also avene1984, why does the first one scare you  ? Post Merge: October 04, 2013, 12:30:31 PMYuh know, I'm going to post more art here even if only one of you really gets the references in the images. The first is cover art for the fan fic I can't post here. The other is a take on a scene at the end of chapter two of the story. Encase people are wondering what is covering Ivy in the second piece. They're my take on Bushwoolies & Furbobs. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Thanks ! Do I have to join another forum  ? I mean I belong one forum that basically is just G4 even though the members say they'll accept older generation stuff. This forum is geared towards seasoned collectors, that more seems to more welcome older stuff like this  .

Thank you so much guys  ! Also to that, it's nice to know you get my sense of humor . The only MLP fan art not shown here are customs I've made from G4s since I know this place has a section for that. On the fan fic note. I know I don't have a sig. yet, but I don't want to display the story there ...well not unless people here have DeviantART accounts and care to read & comment over there. I say comment over there since it's in question here if a thread to it can exist. I'm proud of it. The story took weeks to write and uses every generation but 3.5 .

The ones I first think of that have issues, not counting attempted repair jobs. This G3 came from Goodwill and I have no idea what the marks on it are from. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginOnce more no clue to how they got this way being second hand and actually from the same store. I'm not sure how well their coating of dirt appears on camera. Also I'm not sure if the eyes are in as good a shape as they were when new. I have my doubts. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAt first the hair was awful, but after much careful grooming it isn't filled with knots any more. Unfortunately it's more fuzzy than I've seen with my other older ponies and I wish I could fix that. This one came from eBay. It also has the issue of being dirty. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginFrom Hong Kong & from a seller that had a ton of G4s to sell.

I asked the seller after buying it what was on it and they said they didn't know with having bought it from a flea market. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginThis one came from a retro store quite a while ago.

kezrob23 = I've never tried to use a magic eraser on one of these because I used to be a janitor and consider that a heavy duty scrubber. I've always wondered if one of those would do more harm than good. Baby wipes actually never crossed my mind. I'll have to buy some next time I'm in the 99 Cent store. As for dish soap, I have used that before, but it doesn't seem to to any good. Lastly, I've thank goodness have never had one so far gone it needed me to scrap my nails on it to clean it, but I do have some ponies that I got from Goodwill once, I wonder what the heck the previous owner did to them.
mlp4me = That looks like it could be a good tutorial to work from. When I have the time and some spare ribbon the work with, I'll try it out.
Now, later today when I'm not running around which I'm about to do, I'll show the bad cases I wonder how to fix. I know my Butterscotch is so bad off I had to turn it into a kind of redo custom, so that one is out.

I've read advice around the net for cleaning dirty ponies and I really don't have the guts to dip one of the little buggers in nail polish cleaner, given what that does to cutie marks & eyes. Another piece of advice has me using pore cleanser on them, but that doesn't do any thing. Chemical advice please ? Also I have a Brush 'N' Grow that ceased to work a very long time ago. As an adult I've tried to remove the head to see what is wrong to fix it, but I just don't seem strong enough to do the job. Advice on this too would be welcomed .

Awhile back I think the web master to the My Little Pony Scrapbook site asked me if I was a member here and I said no. I didn't join here back then since I was hoping I would get the answers I needed from another MLP forum, but despite welcoming older generation topics. Older stuff in talk really doesn't get replies. This site looks more open minded towards stuff not solely done in recent years.
I've been into My Little Pony since before I can remember. My parents started buying me the toys back in '82 and I've been hooked ever since. Unknowing this fact in the early 90's, I still even looked for the toys for sale for a while before giving up. It wasn't until the burst in popularly of G4 that it was brought to my attention MLP had returned. Some how G2 and G3 pasted me by without my knowledge.
When my parents started buying me My Little Pony toys when I was little it was as gifts to make me feel better after surgeries. This year alone I've undergone six surgeries because of numerous health problems. I must say I love eBay when it comes to grabbing ponies I either lost when I was a kid, or getting ones new for me owning. So far this year I've nearly doubled my collection and have added in one G2 pony, a few G3 ponies, and a few G4 ponies. Of course I've also been adding in more G1s.
I'm hope this forum can give me advice on cleaning & repairing my G1 ponies. Also hopefully feedback on fan art & fan fiction no one else where seems to care for.
