Oh gosh, I love the style! It looks as colourful as those G3 backcards, only livelier!

Trader & Shipping Support / Re: Did eBay ruin my Rarity?
« on: August 26, 2015, 02:19:48 PM »
I'm not sure if I can properly tell, but to me the parcel doesn't look like it was padded well enough to protect the package inside. The mail is not treated gently, a heavy package could easily have crushed yours -- I've had this happen with a copy of Pokémon LeafGreen in its original box. In my case I contacted the seller and told them that the box arrived flat, and I got a refund. That said, I haven't made any purchases through eBay yet. Best of luck!

Pony Corral / Fixing/displaying your winged G2s?
« on: August 26, 2015, 01:34:49 AM »
First some backstory. You may jump to the next section if you are disinterested in my nostalgic musings!

I have Princess Twinkle Star. Her backcard says that her wings magically appear when someone wishes upon a star. She would go on a nightly flight across the starry sky and use her powers by passing the brightest stars in an attempt to fulfil the dreams of her friends, but it seldom worked. When the glass ponies (fakies with transparent wings) turned one of the ponies into glass the others wished desperately for her recovery, but to no avail. One pony, Sky Skimmer, wished once for the chance to experience what it felt like to be in love and became irreversibly infatuated with the only stallion in the herd.

Anyway, the wings were only played with when the story called for it which meant that they remained in good condition throughout my childhood. After years of packing and unpacking her, more than one of the wing clamp "teeth" has unfortunately broken off and also sadly been lost. As I'm nearing the completion of my custom friendship garden I find myself wondering if I should display the two winged G2s I have, and how. Twinkle Stars wings are so broken they can't clamp around her body in this state. At least not without endangering the rest of the teeth. Is there a way to reinforce them? Have you had this problem, and how can it be fixed in a visually acceptable way?

Pony Corral / Re: Hair Color Match for G2 Berry Bright

If you're okay with her 'do, you could try flat ironing her mane (carefully, with a looot of conditioner in it). Personally I like being able to tell when a pony doesn't have her original hair, so I would probably just re-root her with a new solid yellow nuance (I have a frizzy Butterfly Hunter sans tinsel and full of rust waiting for that same treatment).

I'm sending you a PM.

Off Topic / Re: The Wonderful World of Accents
« on: August 20, 2015, 04:41:55 AM »
Someone asked me yesterday where my accent was from. I really don't have an ear for accents myself, but as silly as it may sound I think my mood may affect how I pronounce certain words.

But I love Scottish. Scottish accents are the best!

Pony Corral / Re: Do you buy all g1 Ponies that you find?
« on: August 19, 2015, 06:49:13 AM »
Last week I found a Bridal Beauty, white Tootsie and Posey for 30 SEK ($3.50) each. They were not nice or rare enough to restore, but not shabby enough to bait. I ended up taking Posey home with me, but I think it is the first time I left ponies behind.

That's what I thought. Thank you!

Oh, nice! How tall is Celesta compared to a G2? I'm building my ponies a friendship garden but haven't quite given up on buying them a castle. It would be awesome if you could take some pictures of G2 ponies in there.

Wow, they are gorgeous. Congrats on your find! My step-mother got me some retro themed pony clothes in London -- I love those!

Price Check Archives / Re: pc g2 prince firefly
« on: August 10, 2015, 01:14:12 PM »
Seeing your topic title I spontaneuosly thought he should be priced around $20. Dunno if he has generally become more expensive than that, but he is a HTF european, right? With accessories I imagine he would climb much higher!

Pony Corral / Re: Plasticizer Leakage?
« on: July 15, 2015, 12:52:14 PM »
Hmm, that sucks. Years ago I boiled my Sunburst to keep his ugly spots from developing further. Big mistake -- his plastic is now darker and the spots more numerous. So yeah, pony plastics don't like heat and humidity! :/

Customs / Re: G1 Morning Glory and G4 Rainbow Wishes as G2s
« on: April 14, 2015, 05:14:13 AM »
Oh gosh, these are perfect! Morning Glory is my most favourite pony ever and G2 is my childhood generation. Rainbow Wishes looks super neat, too. I certainly wouldn't mind hosting them here in my friendship garden!

Customs / Re: WIP - a customized Playmobil castle for ponies, plus customs
« on: February 04, 2015, 04:12:09 PM »
This looks utterly amazing. I've been looking for a castle for my G2:s and this one has caught my eye, but I think it would be too small for them. Makes me sad I'm not as into G4! Your base is super cool and I love your custom poses. Can't wait to see more of this. :)
