Oh my goodness - in my view they are ALL worth saving!!! None of them are terribly rare or valuable in a monetary sense (unless some of them have flat feet). At a quick glance I can't see any major problems with them so please don't customise if that's what you were enquiring about

(sorry - I might be daft but I'm not sure what you meant by 'CM block')

Lol -I'd just listed names but I see Himmie's bet me to it!

I think they are all worth saving too

Especially Heart Throb. She looks lovely

No flat foot ones - any tips on cleaning them better? they were more dingy before I washed them - one gas nail polish on her but I know how to remove that but the two toned ponies and the pink marks and scuff marks what do I do without removing the factory paint? Mr clean magic eraser- would that remove the paint along the scuff marks? Is there a way to touch up hart throbs glitter? any professional restorers out there who would be able to help me as far as advice or services? Thanks for the ID's and CM to me is customizing it's a model horse (Breyer/Stone) term, I'm used to saying that because I collect them also.

"Worth" is in a lot of ways in the eye of the beholder but Seashell seems to be fairly hard to find at times, and your Heart Throb looks like she has gorgeous glitter on her symbols!

I have used Magic Eraser on all parts of ponies, including symbols, with no damage. I just take great care to brush it VERY lightly over symbols or eyes...if you press down too hard it can damage the paint there.

Lightly- OK- thanks(must see if nearby store has them) I do have a no tail cotton candy with marker/ink marks- I know that pure acetone removes a lot but would that take care of the marker? (looks like a sharpie to me) she wasn't photographed because she would need to be customized - I'm unsure if just painting over would kill the marker.

I have never been able to get Sharpie marker off of a pony entirely...it bleeds into the vinyl so anything that just cleans the surface doesn't get it. I know that a lot of people do sunfading to lighten or remove ink spots but I have never successfully sunfaded a pony myself!

Looks like non of the ones pictured are on my customizing list (accept a non pictured marked up cotton candy) It's not the money as I'm keeping them Looks like there in better condition then I thought they were- So out of a lot of 12c ponies only one is in bad shape and my friend paid 10.00 for them on e bay. the nail polish on the one hart throb will be removed with care with pure nail polish remover and a q tip. the rest cleaned gently with a Mr clean magic eraser. not a bad deal - must look elsewhere for more bates I'm redoing death pony for sale this time have to make the wings smaller - wonder if my beat up cotton candy would do?

I was afraid of that so painting her a dark color or just pure black would fix that esp the black as that would match the sharpie color used on her.

Definitely save Seashell. She's still sought-after occasionally.

She staying untouched there are some pink marks on her but Bubbles won't be sitting all by herself anymore

unless she has some major boo boo's I wasn't going to touch her- if her hair was bad I would of gust rehaired her of dollyhair had her color or one close enough to it, One pony has some tail rust - I have to see if dollyhair has a lavender color to match the pony with the tail rust.

Pony girl you can get tail rust out! I use a tooth brush and oxy-clean (the generic at the dollar store) and it comes out easily. Just remove the metal holder and use a zip tie to keep the tail in place. It's much easier and cheaper than spending extra money on new hair

Thanks! I'm removing all the washers feom the ponies and zip tieing them so the rest won't tail rust. now I just need to see if anyone knows what to do with 2 toned ponies and those pink spots on sea shell - I think there are ways to fix both but lost a link that someone addressed those issues with.

instead of posting individual I will link the album of the various scuff marks/markings on the ponies

Looks like a lot of them just need hair treatments--those are fairly easy and quick, so definitely fix that hair!

Teddy · « **Reply #14 on:** July 15, 2013, 07:40:26 AM »

By "2 toned ponies", do you mean the head/body colors being a bit mismatched? I don't believe there is a way to fix that, unfortunately. It is very common with some ponies in particular.
