but her body is very discolored (its supposed to be lavendar)
and shes got pin dot mold
i know there are tutorials for the pin dot and they just seem like such a pain!! im too lazy lol!

Hmm I've been wondering the same thing - is there anything to be done for discoloration? I dunno, but I am eyeing this thread for an answer now. I always wondered because it would be cool to be able to fix a mismatched head/body too. She's beautiful btw!

I'd suggest a oxi bath or some peroxide on her. She doesn't look too bad at all, she's very lovely.

If the discolouration is an over all "yellow-ness" then I would think a sunfade may achieve something. Although too much sun for coloured ponies will eventually fade the plastic, as long as you balance it out you should manage to shift the "yellow-ness" before the colour of the plastic is affected. You are a sun fading genius so I am sure you ll get on great with that!

That's a good question! The adult argies paarticular are too expensive for me

If I recall, Rel sold almost her entire G1 US/UK/Euro collection and decided to focus on Argies.

if any of the discoloration looks like stains, I'd try some sunfading first.
if it looks like regrind there's not anything you can do
she looks great!
my argie power with red hair is not blotchy, but she's overall faded from the lavender I can still see in her neck plug - I don't think that body color held up well down there

youre close!! i actually did sell every last one of my non-argie ponies! (except for childhood ones of course)
and so now that is literally the only thing i collect
so 100% of my pony budget goes to argies. Ive also been collecting them for a while, my first one i bought was in 2009
and ive been obsessed ever since! 

oh and PS thats also why i have soooo many pics of ponies ready to post... i sold (and photographed) all my ponies individually on ebay
so i have a very pony-full photobucket

I'd say pass on the peroxide soak. Awhile back there was a comment on a thread that someone soaked that shade of hair and it turned yellow!!
Sunfading sounds like your best bet Rel.
:o)

[relcelestia]

oh yes good point!!
ok i will try to sunfade her... but i was thinking it was the sun that discolored her in the first place...
so what do you think made her that way?

[hathorcat]

Could just simply be a yellowing in the plastic - a build up of dirt & grime which have soaked into the plastic pores and after any clean to remove surface dirt have left behind an over all stain - or she could have been exposed over time to some kind of air quality or very humid conditions which the plastic reacted to...
