Wow, what a find. She's in such great shape, and tails are very easy to replace. (Except the taking the head off part, that can be tricky.) I looked at all of your pics on your Flickr too. I'm now crazy envious of your pony AND your adorable sad BJD's.
Congrats!
I know what you mean about that pony smell too. When all of my remaining childhood ponies were shipped to me a few weeks ago and I opened up the box I was just flooded by memories because of that smell.
