I've seen the South African ponies go for 3000 to 5000, which I think is just ludicrous

Yikes! So from what I have gathered Xacto knives are the enemy..I have yet to deal with truly bad neck glue (so far) but I don't think I'll be using a knife any time soon...

I don't know if this counts since I didn't do the damage myself but I put some ponies on the patio table to sun fade and a mag pie took a bite out of Moondancer!!!!!  I ran out and chased it away but it took a chunk out of her horn. At least she's common. 

Did it attack it? That's so random! It's not even appetizing looking! xD

Hi all,
 So two days ago a lovely member on the arena sent me a so soft Gusty~
Other than some slight flocking loss from her back and symbols in a couple of places, she was in gorgeous condition. However, she did have a decent amount of dirt on her flocking...

I normally try to clean my so softs with soap and water, but because of the dirt I wanted to go extra heavy duty this time. I pulled out the OxyClean.
Oxyclean has been my ally ever since I became a collector, and I always make sure it's thoroughly rinsed from ponies when I'm done cleaning with it. I have yet to have any issues with using it on ponies, though I typically only use it on commons just in case issues arise in the future.  For super truly dirty pieces, I would use the Oxy with warm water on everyone but glitter/ so softs for fear of damage.

Well today I brainfarted. I used warm water with Oxy on the Gusty. She lost some flocking and I wanted to scream!! I couldn't believe how dumb I had been to forget to never use warm water on so softs (it melts the glue) and now I have a slightly less fuzzy Gusty than before :/

So, has anyone else had an "whoops" moment as a restorer? Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who isn't a pro on here

In addition I'm curious to know, maybe it can help prevent doing more silly things in the future when I fix ponies up

That's awesome! And she even has her pink streak still! Congrats!

I love that one fakie in the pile that's just like "maybe nobody will notice..."

Peachy is my first and only in the wild find I have found!
She had the middle portion of her mane trimmed off, and her tail was missing! She was also caked in dirt, but she cleaned up very nicely <3

I have respect for this pony, I have to wonder how only the middle of the mane got chopped, and how the tail went missing..

Great finds!!! In love with your Windy <3

Nightmare Moon arrived!!
I love both of them, but I don't understand why Celestia looks off and NNM looks exactly like she does in the show? I understand Celestia is the gentler of the two, so making her look angry is harder than say NMM (who is already an "wicked" looking character), but Celestia just looks so... angular??

This is what I think of when I see angry Celestia

Also I noticed on the boxes it says Season 1 Episode 2, not to nitpick but we never see them actually fight till several seasons later. Just interesting..

I really can't nitpick that much though, because regardless they look sooo good
I hope they make a normal Princess Luna next~
