Sea pony brag ^^

[Loona]

even though I have planned some already, this is my first brag topic - I hope I'm doing it right ^^

yesterday I visited a shop that sells used toys, and (among some other cool - non-MLP-related stuff I collect) I found this little rasta girl:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

(please forgive the bad quality of the pic, my camera broke awhile ago, so this was done with my phone - which is, well, not really made for taking photos still I chose to take one, because a brag thread without pics is like pizza without cheese: it's ok, but it's just better if you have cheese on it  )

she was quite filthy, and - as you can see - her hair is awful*. still for half a dollar I couldn't leave a Sea pony there! thankfully all the dirt came off, so (apart from the hair) she is in good condition I'm planning to try to re-hair her, hopefully in a month I will have a bit more time on my hands. I'm already excited about it - never done it before 

and about the float... well, it's another brag  I found it separately about a month ago in another shop for 99 p. I was sad it didn't come with a pony, but I decided to buy it anyway, because my other 2 sea ponies don't have their floats, so now at least one of them will have one, not hers, but still. until yesterday my Pretty & Pearly Sea Star (you can see her in my avatar pic) was sitting in it, and when I brought Beachcomber home yesterday I did a quick search on her - and realised the float belongs to her! (or well, another Beachcomber - I found them in different shops) what a coincidence 

 *do you know by the way what may have caused her hair to become like this? I can't even imagine how a hair can get this ruffled

What a cutie!  For 50 cents you can't go wrong, even if her hair's a little fried.  It looks like someone put her in the clothes dryer! 


Good luck re-hairing her; you should update with a picture once you finish her!

Lol, I like your comparison of a brag without pic to a pizza with no cheese! 

Congrats on your find.  What luck that the float actually turned out to be Beachcombers!

Lucky find!

Shes awesome!  (I actually kinda dig the hair, if it were cleaned up).  Great find!

[Loona]

thank you everybody!

@inbetween: yeah, you may be right. now as I had another look at it it doesn't only seem ruffled. I am quite an expert in combing ruffles out gently (practiced it on a long-haired ex and also on my sister, none of them liked to comb their hair regularly ), but I just couldn't deal with this.
I'll definitely post a pic once it's done 

@kiwimlp: thanks, glad you liked it 
yeah, I was a bit disappointed when upon arriving home with the float and doing a quick search I realised it doesn't belong to any of my sea ponies - I was secretly hoping that. but now it's settled ^^

@Colorscapesart: actually that's all I could do with her hair, it's the cleaned-up version already (it does look a bit dirty in the pic, but IRL it isn't, it's just the bad quality of the picture I guess).

Congrats - great pony hunt!

I think she's cute with her hair in dreads! You could maybe separate the locks & twirl them around with a dab of styling product to make them hang like real dreadlocks. At least until you can totally rehair her.

That hair is crazy but gives her such personality!! I know as a kid my ponies hair got that bad if they were favorites of mine, it comes from chronic hair brushing I use a hot iron on very wet conditioned hair to get the frizz out <3
