Let's see....

G1: 83
G2: 132 I think? I need to update my spreadsheet for G2.
G3: 76 including my dollymix ponies.
G4: 870 including blind bags and the FiM collection ponies (and my Equestria Girls since I don't feel like doing the math to take them out of the count )
Fakies: I can think of 21 off the top of my head?

Oh and I should clarify all those counts also include plush and McDonalds ponies.

The hot water really helped loosen up the glue so I could remove the pieces.

Hot water loosened the glue and then since her fur is white I was able to use acetone nail polish on qtip removed to separate some of the fuzz from the glue. It all balled up though and since the fuzz was under where the mane would be I ended up doing a little trimming to get the glue off. Once the bulk was off the laundry detergent really helped with some of the discoloration that was left over.

I did have to trim the end of the collar to get the glue off since the fabric was too fragile but it stretches while wet nicely.

The seam under her mane was split so I fixed that up and then started working on getting her mane sewn in. The angles are extremely difficult on that

I do think I will need to cut new ears for her since they're felt and one of them is falling apart just from removing it (granted that started as a kid). But the glue is soaked all the way through and does not want to budge.

There's still some glue I can't remove on her horn as well but it's mostly hidden by her mane now.

It's obviously still there in some spots but it's not a glaring issue anymore I can live with that once I get her some ears

I found this little unicorn from my childhood last night buried in a tote of my stuffed animals. I remember loving her as a kid but her glue has severely yellowed since then. I'm wondering if anyone might have some recommendations on how to restore her. Since it's glue I imagine my best bet would be to try and remove the glue and reglue her together myself but I have no idea how to get the glue off without hurting her.

Some close ups. I'm especially concerned about her little ears because the fabric is so thin.

Thoughts? Has anyone done something similar?

Mine was $120, she's a lovely first edition. Came to me from her first owner after being removed from the box once when they received her, and then again for pictures when they sold her. She has the typical shoelace flaw where they had degraded and some staining on her ankles from being in her boots since 1997 She also came with her NIB accessories.

Hopefully that will give you some kinda reference

Totally dying over here as well to hear you have four Kirsten. She is ma favorite and the one I currently have is in pieces without eyes.

Alternately I've had some lovely sellers practically gift wrap my ponies for me, so that unboxing them was like having a miniature surprise birthday party for myself.  I always appreciate the sellers who put that extra sweet finishing touch on a parcel, just because they can.  Always nice to meet people who take pride in what they do, even if it's just wrapping a pony!

There's this one ebay seller from Portugal that I buy from sometimes. They always wrap everything so nicely in the box. It seriously does feel like Christmas. Normally tissue paper and a bow inside the shipping bow which is then surrounded by bubble wrap to keep it safe.

I don't remember off the top of my head either. I just know I don't have any of the international ones so I'll be watching

I may have gotten curious and circled the international ones

I adore G2s and when I can find some super baity ones I fully intend to dissect them and see how those mechanisms were put together >.> I miiiight be a bit curious about it and willing to do the work Especially to see if I can put some of them back together after.
