I think Quackers doesn't get regrind? I believe regrind is caused by different colors of vinyl emerging from mixed ones. When Hasbro recycled pre dyed vinyl, it was a different color from the vinyl it was mixed into. Now, about thirty years later, those different colored vinyl scraps are emerging from the plastic causing different colored blotches on the pony.Another theory is that when Hasbro mixed the vinyl, the color pellets didn't fully mix, causing them to not disperse evenly. This really only happens with bright pink, purple, and orange hued ponies so I don't think this could happen with Quackers. I've also never heard of her getting regrind. The brown regrind you are talking about could be age spots which isn't related to regrind.Age spots, or cancer, have multiple theories as to why they exist. Some common ones are mold and or the plastic breaking down. A lot of ponies can get this including Quackers.Your Quackers probably has saddle sores, which are from the pink saddles from various play sets staining the ponies. They are bright pink marks usually where the saddle was sitting, and the saddles can stain a lot of ponies if left on for long enough.It's also possible that her hair stained her body if you didn't notice anything and it was left in one spot touching her body. I remember hearing somewhere that someone's mint Sugarberry had her body stained from her hair.Hope this helped! I have no idea how to move ponies, sorry... Good luck!
Hello! I still live with my parents, so my pony collection has always been limited to my relatively small bedroom. Here's what my displays look like:Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginIt's a little cramped in that I don't really have room for more playsets, but it works.
Quackers will normally have pink splotches or discolored brown spots. She hasn't aged well.
That looks amazing!! Talk about utilizing space.I am curious, do you have AC in your room? My biggest fear with displaying them in my new apartment will be the humidity in NE summers... I am considering just buying a separate dehumidifier for wherever I decide to place them, but I feel like cold air makes more sense for storing.

But I live in Washington state so our weather doesn't really require one.
My Quackers got discolored brown spots. Really sad because she had PERFECT silky hair and an otherwise unmarked body.
I had some ponies on shelves, some in cardboard boxes in plastic baggies, and some in Tupperware boxes (no baggies). IIRC she was mostly in a Tupperware box.I also tried hand sanitizer on her in case the brown splotches were bacteria or something, but it didn't help. I really think it was something inherent to her plastic rather than an outside source like "age spots". The brown was in really random shapes and a different color from age spots and such.
Big tip for storing ponies where it is humid is Silica packets. Just make sure they aren't touching the ponies.
