Mostly G3s, and things with wings...

[Ninox]

I found a small bag of G3s at a thrift store I frequently visit. There were also a few other interesting equine-ish toys inside the bag, which was what prompted me to buy it.

Here's the G3s, plus one fuzzy little impostor:

And here's the rest...

The two realistic horses are Breyer horses, but it looks like a little of MLP's influence has rubbed off on them. The large one has brushable, tinselly hair and huge, fabric wings that were in surprisingly good shape after being crammed into a plastic bag full of ponies. However, the little one has lost a wing. It's really sad to look at, and makes me want to try making it a second wing for it somehow.

The horse that's lying down is one of the "flapping pegasus" fakies, but as you can see, she's missing both of her wings. :/

All in all, a pretty good day (especially since I got a couple of ponies in the mail today as well).

Wow nice, that is a super cool find
I was hunting for the bluish one,and not that many around on ebay .

But I just bought a Twirlerina  Pegasus G3  yesterday, had to bring it down from 8 dllrs to 5 with the best offer on ebay for the listing since she is in a lot  ,with 4 other pegasus ,so got 5 for 25 shipped.
Got a Honoluloo and Mochanut baby pegasus  after watching the g3 movie with the pegasus and that ignited the hunt for some more pegasus  added Thistlle whistle to my collection last week too

Which "bluish one" did you mean? The flapping pegasus, or Twirlerina? (By the way, if you don't have Coconut Grove in your collection yet, 'll probably be selling her soon, if you're interested.

Thanks! I've actually seen many more G3s in thrift stores than G4s. A few weeks ago, there were two huge bags of them in the same store, but I had to pass them up because I was short on cash, and I'm more interested in G1s than G3s (unless there's an interesting looking fakie hiding out among the G3s).

yeah , I was talking about Twirlerina, just got her though , and no more pink ponies for me LOL, I'm going for the white and blue pegasus only, but I think I'm done, just received Aurora Mist and Daisy Day  but she has a washer rust bleeding into her white plastic 
 might have to return her , I paid a good price for them,and for one not to be mint is not acceptable .

Nice finds!  I love that winged-but-realistic horse!

Ouch -- sorry to hear about that. I hope you find a better version of that pony soon!

Oooh! Nice finds. I have a soft spot for Sunny Daze as she was my first G3 Congrats on some fantastic new ponies!

I just remember reading about a line of Breyer horses aimed at younger collectors that had My Little Pony influences, but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called . . . you might be able to find out what they are on a Breyer collecting site, I think.

[Saja]

cool, what a great find!

I think the Breyers with wings might be Wind Dancers:

Ah, thank you for that name! That saves me a bit of extra Googling.

Since I started this thread, I've been working on the ponies' hair...but I'm a little concerned that Wind Drifter's hair might be possessed...
