G1 Brag- SO Excited!!!!
« on: December 22, 2012, 09:13:37 PM »
So we went to a Goodwill and was wandering, I wasn't impressed at all with anything really. I was turning a corner when I spotted a eye looking up at me from a super large cosmetic bag hanging on a rack. I was doing a "!!!!!" alert in my head, and grabbed the bag. As I grabbed the bag and scanned it with my eyes my mouth was saying OH MY GAWD. My husband and sister stood there looking at me all like I was crazy. My husband asked how much it was and I looked at the tag and told him. He was like, Ok put it in the cart.
I took them out of the bag when we got in the van and this named each one as I showed them off like a crazed lunatic.
I got home and put took pics to share. The entire time on the way home I was squeeling I GOT PONIES!! I haven't seen a G1 in many many years in any flea or thrift. Some of them have original ribbons too!! YAY

All they symbols are perfect and the bodies and hair just need some TLC. Tickle's symbol has some rust but I remember she's usually got issues with rust.

The only question is how do I wash them without damaging the symbols? The symbols are really perfectly fantastic I don't want to mess them up and it's been so long since I washed a pony I just dunno. Any suggestions are appreciated.

What a gorgeous lot! Major congrats! You're so lucky to have found them at a Goodwill store, since they seem to throw most ponies onto their auction site.

NO NO NO! don't use magic eraser! That's what I use to REMOVE symbols for customizing! Some dish soap and a gentle scrub with a regular sponge should do fine. You can use the magic eraser in places where there is no paint.

What a find! WHAT a PRICE.....Well done!
Amazing!
Clean ponies hair only if that is all they need.....shampoo and conditioner and dry the hair carefully in place.
Some marks will come of easily with nail polish removal BUT KEEP AWAY FROM ALL SYMBOLS!!!
They look is such great condition all they need is some hair-dos!!

Congratulations!  A great find!   :frolic:

You had to convince your husband to let you spend that on them!  He doesn't have a clue what you've actually got there!!!   :lol:
