My latest additions brag thread

[plushroo]

I just came home to a big box from ebay I have been looking forward to all week! So the other night I happened to  search for"pony lot" and came across this auction:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Large-Lot-Of-Used-G1-My-Little-Pony-/231417920651?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=IdhaTmzYZ23wNXEDahShYXaPxig%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

See anything special??
This is what I got:

The pics weren't very detailed, but I did spy a weird looking Peachy hidden in the back. Based on the symbols and color, it was a Peachy, but different. Seeing the condition of the other ponies and reading that they needed care, I took a chance not knowing what shape to expect her in.

IT'S PIGGY PEACHY!!!!

I couldn't believe it when I spotted it in ebay US. This is the second Piggy I won off ebay from a non collector! It makes the total of 4 piggies I currently own!

She's actually still got her eyelashes, but as you can see from the pic she is unfortunately in sad shape . Both ears have been sawed off along with middle section of her mane. Her right eye doesn't shut without help when put on her side, but left eye still works! I love her regardless of her flaws! She'll be a great addition to my herd.
There was also a Dream Beauty in the lot that I didn't have yet:

She has some discolor places on her plastic, but she should look real nice once cleaned up and spa treatment. I love my latest haul and think I did pretty good price wise given the rarity of piggies and Dream Beauties. Hope you like the pics!!

How cute ... But I think you can still restore, but the feeling of having found this batch must have been incredible.

Pardon my ignorance, but from where do the "piggies" originate?

[kiwimlp]

I haven't been able to clean her or display her yet. My piggy Peachy as well as the other ponies came with a putrid smell! I had to place the box outside my room as it smells so bad. I know whenever I buy lots of old ponies pulled from storage, I expect some kind of odor, but I think these are the worst so far! Wherever they were stored in LA prior sure left this disgusting odor on them! I've gotten lots before that actually smelled heavenly of new pony smell or the persons clean house. I don't know how to describe the odor of these other than old pizza mixed with barf and old spice. YUCK!  I can't resell the others with this smell!! Any advice on how to make them smell better?

Yuck! Its going to depend on how strong the smell is. Initially I would try popping her in a tupperware with some baking soda for a week, then sit her somewhere she is going to get fresh air for a week and repeat a few times. That should freshen her up. If you still are not happy use a demister to spray a very small amount of fabric softener on her and again leave her in the fresh air.
