My first G1! :)
« on: December 22, 2012, 09:17:05 PM »
I have been collecting Ponies on and off since I was 12....I quit around gen 3.5 and got back into collecting because of FiM. I've always loved Ponies, and while I love Gen 4's style the most, I've always wanted some G1's!

I picked up this little girl at a collectible's store in the mall. I've heard her name is Glory? I think she's really pretty!
 She was in relatively OK condition when I got her, with lots of dark spots, but with a little TLC I've cleaned her up pretty nicely!
Two questions though, she still smells a little bleachy/icky from the store she was in plus from when I cleaned her...is there any good way to de-smell her? xD Should I just air her out for a while?
 And also, she has a bit of rust on her tail, I covered it up with a bow, but is there any good way to actually remove the rust?
 

Anyway! Pics! :D

Thank you! I'm very happy with her. ^_^ It's too bad I have no place to put her right now. When I get my own apartment I can't wait to show off my collections and display them proudly.

Here's a tutorial for de-rusting a pony!

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I have a package of that rust remover on it's way to me in the mail right now.

She looks lovely. I haven't had much experience with 'smelly' ponies but I'm sure if you just put her out in the fresh air for a while she will lose whatever scents she has picked up.  Congrats on your first G1 :D

Wishlist - I'm back on (semi-) active buying again... can't buy everything on my wish list all at once (yay, back-to-school and tuition fees), but I am still looking to plump up my collection a bit more: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,380638.0.html

Thanks! I'm probably going to sit her on my porch in a safe spot for a few hours and see how she is after that. She's not too terribly smelly though, so that's good. ^^

Congrats on finding her, we seem to be attracted to her too as we have found 3 this year alone.  As to the smell, if the airing does not work you can try putting her in a baggie with a dryer sheet or with some baking soda.
