Hello from California,
I was born in the late 70's and remember spending my weekends cruising the Toys R Us aisles and buying ponies and all kinds of other cute toys.  I'm introducing myself today because I found my childhood High Tide Sea Pony that I'm trying to restore and would like to look at pictures and get ideas of how to restore her.  She has some of those dark mottled spots all over her that resemble cancer that reapeared after a couple of days of sunbathing in oxyclean.  I have been re-collecting sea ponies for the past couple of years, and have cleaned them and rerooted some that I have collected. 

As the login name suggests, I am a "mum" to dachshunds and a preteen boy, so sometimes my collecting and restoring gets sidetracked.
