What's more important Great Body or Gorgeous Hair :)

[Shimmer Mist]

Definitely a great body! Like everyone else has said, it's much harder to fix the pony's body as opposed to the hair. Hair can be smoothed out in many different ways. Even tinsel that is ratty can be straightened if you're extremely cautious with your heat source. "25 cents" written on the pony in permanent ink because someone couldn't be bothered to get a sticker? PAIN IN THE REAR! That doesn't come off with Magic Eraser or Acetone. The only fixes for body issues are either super risky or requires talent and skill. Sunfading may help marks but you may also have a pony prone to burning or you may just forget about her in the window. A symbol that's either faded/smeared/missing can be repainted but if you can't paint worth a darn it'll look like trash. If one of the ears has been chewed off it could be remolded with clay but if you're not that dexterous or great at sculpting making a perfect replica to match is out of the question.

Both Ok...I know I am not allowed to give that answer but I am honestly as fussy over one as I am over the other. I would however probably if pushed go with body (for the reason others have mentioned hair is repairable...body damage not always) and then simply work to upgrade to a pony with good body and hair.

It's all about a rockin' bod!
Anyway... I'm okay with hair flaws so long as they're relatively minor things like light trims, faded pink or a bit of frizz. When it comes to bodies, cleaning them and sunfading as necessary is fine but any major fixes are a no-go; I'd hate to mess up the pony while trying to repair it. Stuff like that is better left to people with more knowledge and experience, methinks!
