Pony Corral / Re: G1 Diamond Dreams Question
« on: August 03, 2020, 01:50:27 PM »
Never really understood it myself and always been kind of irritated by it because she's a childhood pony I'm trying to get back haha - I guess there aren't that many adult non-nirvana yellow ponies with red hair! I think there's only Sunburst the mountain boy?

Ugh a couple: Diamond Dreams (childhood replacement), Cool Breeze (childhood wish fulfillment), TAF Buttons... oh, and two very elusive y10 accessories - Chocolate Delight's soda and Happy Hugs' lipstick!

All my G1s were given away when I was about 11 and we were mid-move. Still deeply regret it, obviously!

Customs / Repairing G1 body with epoxie
« on: June 19, 2020, 02:35:56 PM »
Hi everyone,

I have a half-deflocked SS Twilight who has some abrasions on her body that I'm looking to repair using epoxie sculpt, but the more guides I look through, the more confused I get. I'm not sure what brand to use, whether to buy pre-coloured or paint myself to match -- and I can't seem to see any quick and dirty solutions here. Do you guys have preferences/recs you can give me, or at least a guide you've used that you like?

Thanking you for your expertise in advance~!

Pony Corral / UV/light blocking film to protect collections?
« on: June 14, 2020, 10:07:58 AM »
Just wondering if anyone's had any luck/experience with UV + light blocking film overlays on their glass display cabinets? I have my fading pinks way at the back behind non-problematic ponies and in spots that don't get any sun, but I'm starting to get paranoid and was thinking of grabbing something like this to cover the glass windows. Or if anyone else has any other solutions I'm all ears! Just want to be able to see my collection without destroying it at all :/

Pony Brag Arena / Re: g1 pony lot find at the thrift store!

Yep, this is a VERY nice lot. Pink Dreams! And Sweet Sundrop and Little Flitter both in excellent condition. What a haul!

Pony Brag Arena / A nice surprise!

After being high on my wish list for many, many years, I finally found myself a Flurry! She was in an unnamed listing + the photos were kind of out of focus but I snagged her for a (relative) song and when she arrived today I was somewhat shocked by how minty she is. She's as beautiful as I'd always hoped! I've never seen fading pink hair this bright?! I'd be suspicious of a re-pinking but the seller didn't seem like a collector at all and she's totally pristine otherwise so I have to assume just very well preserved. Now to grab a Cool Breeze...

On the subject, I feel like there's been a rash of re-pinked ponies on eBay that aren't marked as such - anyone else feel that way?

I loved a gimmick as a kid & my fondness for her remains into adulthood. Still looking for a mint specimen with her lipstick!

Customs / Re: First time rehairing/restoration question!

Thanks for the tips!

I'll second TheDollPlanet. I feel like I might have a skein of Atomic Turquorise at home and possibly a good close color from a recent TDP order, I'll compare at home.

Love to see a comp!

Customs / First time rehairing/restoration question!
« on: March 14, 2020, 02:02:19 PM »
Hi guys! In the midst of all this global craziness I'm thinking about rehairing a So Soft Buttons I'm deflocking whose mane/tail were both write-offs.

Aside from feeling mildly daunted by this new skill, I'm not sure what to do about buying the hair itself.  I want to match the colours as closely as possible (which I believe are atomic turquoise and heartthrob) but I've been reading the unsavoury news about Dollyhair and I don't think I want to purchase through them. I've been through all the Arena guides and recommended sellers and I can't seem to find an online store that carries those two shades/approximate matches of nylon. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Would really appreciate it!

Just letting you guys know I listed a bunch more, including a really nice Starswirl!

Does anyone know what happened to Dream Valley? I'm sure there was an explanation for its closure but I don't remember what it was!

Hi guys! Just a heads up that I'm starting to sell off the ponies I picked up from a childhood collection :) There are some beauties! The current auctions end later this week but over the weekend I'll start listing more (there are a lot to get to).

You can find them here!
