:) Help Me Identify Our Ponys ! ☺ Newish Collectors :)

[Rochelleamber]

I started collecting MLP for my daughter who's almost 5 now. Her bdays in Aug. Most of my ponys & accessories have been bought locally from different mamas. I've tried to search  the web but I haven't been ae to find all of them.

I'd also like to know if any may be HTF or Rare & If possible an estimated price.

I'd like to fix all of their hair but I'm not sure what's the best way to do it as far as condition/shampoo/brush. Also not sure if there's a differece when dealing with the ponys with tensile hair   

I have pics of the majority of the collection. All of the ponys in need help with are in the pics. Hopefully ill be able to figure it out, this is my first post her!

Have you tried the I'd machine? It's very helpful...

For dealing with hair, I'm sure we have tutorials here someplace, but generally cold water and conditioner works wonders For ponies that still have their original curls, try to keep the curls in tact because that is part of their value.

In regards to tinsel, it makes a difference on if it's colored tinsel, or the clear/iridescent tinsel. The former can be tamed with a flat-iron on low heat (make sure the hair is wet too), but the latter will melt.

Welcome to the arena Rochelleamber!!

I am going to bump this over to the Pony Corral for you though. It will get more attention.

Good Luck on getting your gals cleaned up!

Here on the arena we use image tags so if you are using photobucket it would look like this without the spaces... [     img     ] url  [    /img    ]  .  You can write it by hand or we have a button that will insert it for you.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


So to insert this image I took the direct code from photo bucket and put it in tags.  The coding looks like this...

I love www.mlpland.com for identification It has a pony search which allows you to simply type in what the symbol is and then scroll through images which match to find your pony.

Sounds like a fun way to collect ponies!

Welcome aboard!

I like Strawberry Reef when I don't know who I have in hoof... er, in hand.

They have a search by colour that helps my son and I a lot.

My Little Wiki is also a great help - try their grid of pony symbols:

And when you're able to post pics (that's pretty funny coming from me, actually, since I'm the pits at posting photos with any speed... ), we'll all be delighted to help out with IDs and valuation.

In regards to hair, I would check out the MLP preservation project. (Mlppreservationproject.com) It has some great tips on taking care of your ponies, from simple cleaning to extreme pony ailments. Happy collecting!
