Ponies at a thrift store?!? Here? Couldn't be more thrilled lol

[MikeysGrrrl]

So hubby and I went out shopping yesterday and decided to run into value village and see if they had any ponies, I walked assuming the worst simply because we've never had any luck finding anything but fakies

I get to the toy section and I find not 1, not 2 but 5 bags with MLP in them
So I narrowed it down to the 2 bags that had the most genuine MLP in them and grabbed those. Here's what we ended up with

Now these were purchased with the idea that these would be used as baits, however there is 1 pony in the bunch that I would love to save and add to our collection:

Bumblesweet, she's perfect except for a red/pink pen mark near her display symbol. Does anyone know what I can use to remove it or fade it considerably? We already gave her the spa treatment and tried acetone and magic eraser, but nothing has worked

We would up having to throw away Cotton Candy? I think that's her name, she was full of black mold, really thick and disgusting It was super gross!

That was a nice selection of ponies you found. If you still have access to CottonCandy, you could try boiling her.  That usually removes mould and other nasties

Congrats!  It's always so nice to find them at a thrift store 

  I would definitely boil anything with mold, possibly also with some Oxyclean in the water.  Then even if the stains don't come out, she should be safe to use as a custom.

Great pony hunt!  Sounds like Bumblesweet could use some sunfading.

Thank you, I've never done sunfading before, so I will look into that

[Fisha Seabreeze]

I agree on sunfading and boiling the rougher looking ponies, bleach to help kill that toxic black mold.

Awesome thrift store finds! I always get excited when I come across any ponies here too! They just don't seem to be out and about as much these days!

Congrats, it seems to be the time, we scored a small bag of G1's the other day.
