Sunfading might be worth a shot before dyeing! There's some tutorials on the MLP Preservation Project.

Pony Corral / Re: Ponies you renamed.

Up Up and Away has been renamed to Pinkie Pie in my collection (as I’ve repainted her green balloons to be light blue) I never enjoyed her original name! I’ve also renamed all my Sweetsteps Ballerina ponies as I found their original names very unmemorable.

Pony Corral / Re: Ponies rattle when shaken - should I be concerned?
« on: August 10, 2023, 12:34:58 PM »
I’ve had this happen before and the washers weren’t even rusted or anything! They came out as soon as I opened the rattling pony up and it just seems like they fell off at some point, likely due to play or whatever. The tails also don’t seem to pull out even if the washer has fallen off. The only pony I’ve had whose tail just popped out as soon as the washer was pulled off was a Medley who had a cracked tail hole anyway. It’s nothing to be too concerned about in my experience!

Pony Brag Arena / Re: first G1 pony in a long time

Congrats! The Tropical Ponies are one of my favorite sets - they're honestly so much more pleasing in person!

Wow, she looks great! Molded hair on toys is so annoying - I was dealing with this recently while trying to find a Ken doll to use for a custom, and I just decided to opt for one with rooted hair in the end to save the headache. I'm impressed you were able to get the molding off.

I would love Blue Belle! Your art is so gorgeous, I'm so impressed whenever I see it!

They're so pretty! It's exciting that you get to have a big spa day for them.

Pony Corral / Re: safe to sunfade g4?
« on: July 28, 2023, 10:09:48 AM »
She's looking great soaking up that Carolina sun! If you ever get some pen-covered ponies again, especially during the winter, a great investment I made was making a UV box! You really only need a UV light (which is the priciest part) a box and tinfoil. It's sped up the sunfading process a lot so I'm able to restore a lot more ponies now.  :)

Oh my gosh Ponybookworm, I NEED to know how you made that balaclava!! I'm now inspired to make some.

I really hope to one day! I'm too lazy to get out the sewing machine when its this hot out but I neeed to make some little hats and dresses for them.

One of my favorite ponies! I’m currently working on a restoration of her right now. She’s been in the UV box for ~3 days lol

Pony Corral / Re: Which pony happened their way in your collection?
« on: June 29, 2023, 10:30:54 PM »
Maybe not stumbled in, but it’s a cute story anyway. At one BronyCon (I was like, 11 as I was a MLP super fan even at a young age) I talked to one woman selling G1 ponies. I was so excited as she had this Bluebelle bait for sale that had her mark rubbed off, head shaved, tail missing, you name it. I can’t remember how much she was, but she was dirt cheap and I was about to buy her, but she ended up just telling me I could have her for free as she thought I’d take good care of her lol. I always wonder who that was since it was one of the nicest things someone did for me at a convention! And she’s still in my collection fortunately as I took her to college with me. I’m rerooting her and painting her symbol again soon. :biggrin:
