Echoing the "open her up" comments. If she's not messy on the inside, your options are limited. My Gingerbread was pretty bad when she came to me (not quite as bad as yours, though) and I ended up mixing paint to match her whiter spots and airbrushing her over the brown bits. You'd never know by looking at her now.

Rushton stuffed animals, espeeeecially the deer and other quadrupeds (sheep, lambs). But they all have bizarre faces.

Hi, everyone! I don't know much about current AG, but I have four from childhood that I just rehabbed. I found a Josefina at the flea market for $3 last weekend and bought her for my daughter. She also has a PC Addy that my husband found in a trade shed at the dump where we used to live. My kid has great AG luck, apparently.

She's new to me and I adore her! What beautiful colors! Her symbol is so cute, too.

I just saw my first G2 in real life last weekend. I didn't get their appeal until then. I don't have interest in collecting them, but they ARE really cute. I think a G2 pegasus would've been absolutely precious. What a bummer that they never made any!

I know absolutely nothing about Nirvanas, but I'm amazed by the gorgeous ponies in this thread! Thank you all for sharing photos.

I'm interested in single ponies and lots. It doesn't matter how badly damaged they are; I'm interested! Restoring G1 ponies to their former glory is one of my biggest passions. If you have any ponies that need help and a new home, let's talk!  ETA (8/14): Right now I'm especially interested in BBE ponies with rusted eyes.ETA (8/21): I'm not looking for any more baits right now beyond those I'm already discussing with people in PM. I'll let you all know when I'm looking again.

Does anyone know who owns this collection? I found it on google image search and it takes me to pinterest but the trail dies there. I know about the Strawberry Shortcake and Huckleberry Pie vinyl head rag dolls, but had no idea that there may have been other characters made. Are these customs?

This is why it's the worst gen. Cheap, badly produced toys, only seven ponies regularly made, hyper stylized, annoying and confusing distribution, pandering to the wrong crowd, plots that drag on well past it's expiration date, lack of creativity, dull villains that become besties forever and ever and ever.
I agree with this 100%. My kids love FiM, but I don't even feel like it's the same thing as the MLP of my childhood. I'm glad kids today have a version of MLP, but I wish it wasn't...this. I don't like the design. I don't like the toy quality. It's just lacking in every way for me.

I'm an odd man out on this one, as I don't believe in "baits." I'm big on restoration and don't think any pony or vintage toy is beyond repair (ETA: I see she's G4 but this still applies )...unless we're talking some kinds of mold. I had a moldy Teeny Tiny that was so bad I had to throw her out. I cried. If you can fix her, why don't you?

My seven year old loves rabbits and "creepy stuff," so I guess I'm off to eBay to find her one of those.

I love My Pretty Mermaids. I only have my childhood Sea Flower right now though.
Ponyfan
I have two of her. I need to clean up one and decide which to keep in my collection and which to give to my sister, who is also starting to collect these.

Any other collectors here? Do you have a grail? Who is your favorite merm? I had the seaside wedding set (with a girl merbaby), Flower Dream, and Water Lily (both the white version) as a kid. None of my childhood toys are still in my possession, but I'm working on collecting this entire line. I adore them. I have 13 right now and a couple more on the way.

Three are clean and in a closet right now with new stuffing and refreshed lips/blush, but two have no hair. I have a head sitting on my kitchen counter and the body next to it being treated for really bad staining, but I'm optimistic. I thought I had more but I have four.
They were in my mom's basement, which flooded about 9 years ago. She just pulled them out of the water and put them in space bags still damp. The damage could've been a lot worse than it was.
