So I've gotten some really nice So Soft ponies lately with great flocking, like a barely-played-with Bouncy and a display-only Twilight.  But Bouncy still has some light surface dust/dirt, and Twilight has some dirty patches from who-knows-where (looks like maybe some dirt got into her bubble before she was decarded). So are there any suggestions for cleaning them? I don't want to just grind the dirt/dust in farther. (Bouncy especially looks like the dust is just on the outer tips of her fuzz, while Twilight's looks like it goes in deeper.) I don't want to immerse either of them in water; I think that causes flocking to sort of roll up into little balls of fuzz. And they've got great original curl (I don't think Twilight has ever really been brushed), so I don't want to touch it or get it wet.

I just feel the urge to chime in and gripe, since we're talking about Twist. I just got a decarded display only SS Twist. Her flocking is great, of course, but she's kind of badly stained red/dark pink on her shoulder and butt from her hair!! I get the impression that she's been in storage for a while, and I don't think she was stored very well. *sigh* Why is it so hard to find SS's in good condition?? Try, try again, I guess. :*(

I wasn't familiar with them either, but I happened to see a pic of an MIB Rose Petal Place doll that someone was selling. And I noticed that the comb looked the same as the Peru pegs; I think there's a rose on the handle. There are more pics on the Ghost of the Doll site.

I saw MOC Peru Firefly on Ebay a while ago. And now that the gallery's back up I can see another one along with MOC Blossom as a pegasus. Is it just me or do the combs that come with them look like Rose Petal Place combs?

Is Brazil Shady about the same color as UK NSS Shady, the same bright magenta pink? Or is Brazil Shady more orangish? (Maybe she often fades to orangish?) Thanks!

The gold crown and matching necklace go with twins Jewel and Sparkle.

How about rainbow pony Windy? It seemed like everyone had her. When they donated their collections to me, I ended up with 4 extra Firefly's and 4 extra Windy's.
I dunno, but personally I wouldn't include the later ponies like Ice Crystal, Mimic, and Red Roses. No doubt, they're VERY popular with collectors, but one of the reasons for that is that they're fairly hard to find. So I'd say they're not as recognizable to people who aren't as into ponies as hardcore collectors.

OMG. That's so terrible and sad. I don't know who's worse, the mean-spirited brother, or the greedy lady who snatched the ponies.
I'm generally a kind and generous person, but I'm also quite territorial; I don't like having my stuff messed with. Especially my ponies. And ESPECIALLY my childhood ponies.
I've heard other members describe having their ponies taken by mean-spirited people. I remember one Arena member posting about how her father-in-law disapproved of her collection. So he solved his problem by throwing away all her ponies. If that happened to me, I don't know if I would cry or scream or go on a TOTAL RAMPAGE. Probably all of them, especially the rampage. I would be SORELY TEMPTED to do something that might be considered crazy, like pulverizing everything he owned with a baseball bat, that's how mad I would be. I don't know if I'd actually go through with it; I guess I shouldn't, but I would be really, really tempted. You just don't treat other people and their sacred property that way. Ponies may just be plastic horses, but to me, they mean so much more.
Wow, I would be so indescribably devastated and infuriated if someone did that on purpose. (Though I wouldn't feel that way if the ponies were damaged by someone who really didn't know any better, like a pet or a very young child. That would be a sort of tragic accident, and I'd be angry and upset for sure, but you can't blame someone who doesn't understand.)
OK, so I'll keep an eye out for ponies with the initials MES and the pony's name, especially if they're being sold in Texas and/or zip code 77380 or 77381. And is there any way we can find out which ponies are missing? Feel free to send me the woman's contact info. If I EVER come across one of Meghan's ponies, I will definitely contact her, even if it's many years in the future.
Spread the word and help mend this poor young lady's broken heart!

The quest will never end for me, which is both good and bad. I want every pony, every Nirvana, and every odd variant, all mint or NM with complete accessories and cards/boxes (though I don't really care about MOC). Onward and upward!

I have about 60 from my childhood collection (soooo glad I never sold any of them!!) but here are some of the more impressive ones: Mimic, Red Roses, Baby Princess Sparkle.

Question please (sorry if this has been asked before, or it's just a lingering bug that still needs to be worked out): My inbox seems to be messed up. If I click on a PM thread, I'll get that thread (or some of it) PLUS PM's mixed in from other threads.

I just got a very nice Li'l Sweetcake for a pretty good price, yay! Her condition is great, but she has the beginnings of tail rust. I've heard that toothpaste is good for cleaning rust, so I'd like to try it by removing her head and cleaning inside. Sweetcake is a Peek-a-Boo Baby, so she doesn't have a neck seal since her head is designed to turn. Can I just pop it off? Will I be able to pop it back in without causing any damage? Sweetcake is a fairly hard-to-find mail order G1 (she's one of the little unicorn sisters), so I don't want to risk damaging her. The rust is quite minor and I could actually live with it.
