Have you ever done anything to your ponies that you now regret?

[shimmlight]

When I first started out collecting I didn't really consider myself a proper collector, so I gave some of the ponies (Blossomforth, Lily Blossom and Feathermay) styled haircuts. These ponies were cheap at the time but now theyre not, so I really regret doing that 

I also burnt half of Dewdrop Dazzles hair off with a hair straightener by accident once.

I remember as a kid that I chopped off my G2 Magic Motions(?) Ivy pony's hair into a small little mohawk, on the belief her hair would grow back.

....It didn't. ;_;

I also tried to give my early ponies styled haircuts

These include: Twilight (before her crowning), Scootaloo, Cheerilee, Blossomforth, Pinkie, Rarity, and Dashie

Also possibly AppleBloom, Honeybuzz, and Sweetiebelle. I have to check. The hair on them doesn't look cut but it is shorter and I can't remember if they came that way or not xD

I regret getting rid of my combs and brushes. As a kid I didn't know they were for the ponies (otherwise I would've kept them)...instead they were tossed in with the Barbie combs, and eventually sold.

when I was first trying to clean up my childhood ponies, I gave a hot oxyclean bath to my TE ponies, including Mimic...took the shine right off her eyes and faded her quite a bit! 

Then, later on, I sent her off to have her symbols repainted, and didn't know that because of her light color, I should have asked the painter to seal *under* the symbols, so now she has a nice orange halo around them.

When I was a new collector, I gave a Tex with pindot mold/smooze a bath in clorox.  His hair was so brittle afterwards that I ended up selling him as custom bait.

...but the mold was pretty much gone

I threw away tons of g1 brushes. I wouldn't personally want them, I think accessories are annoying actually unless it's something cute/distinguished, but I should have sold them.

I also had several Dream Beauties left over from childhood, mainly just had them left and no g1 ponies. Well they laid around on the floor in the old toy room so long and eventually all had a leg broken off. On top of it, I think I threw the leg pieces away because I didn't know how easily they could be fixed. O_O *slaps self*

I kinda regret the hair colors I chose for this restore. Now that she's had them awhile I think they're too light. (Considering she had a buzz cut w/no tail, her face was rubbed across the sidewalk and didn't have eyes...)

I regret cutting the hair on my first g4s to make them more show accurate… what was I thinking.

I really like her!  She looks lovely with those bright colours.  I think you did a great job!

I gave several of my childhood G1s trims to fix the frizzy ends of their hair.  Now that I can fix frizz with a flat iron and conditioner, I regret that.

My biggest regret, though, was not taking better care of my sea ponies.  I left them in the bathroom cupboard with the rest of the bath toys until I was a teenager, before I was really collecting them again.  When my mom had the bathroom renovated, they did her a "favour" by cleaning up, and threw them out.  Whitecap was in there, along with her shell, and several babies and floats. *sigh*

Trimming the front pieces of my childhood G1 Ponies' hair so they could "see" better.

When I was a kid, the poofy Perfume Puff Pony hair got on my nerves, so I gave all my Perfume Puffs (Lavender Lace, Sweet Suds, and Dainty Dahlia) short haircuts......

I let my little sister play with my Waterfall playset and, with her only being a few years old at the time, gnawed big ol' chews on Duck Soup's beak, the comb, and she took a bubble bath using ALL the bubble foam liquid

[TwistedRiver]

I mostly regret the fact that after getting Clipper I fell in love with his hair and gave a similar cut to a lot of my ponies. I regret deciding to customize my Sleep Tight with a hot pink nail polish pen when I was little, and I regret that my mum was selling Avon and gave me a ton of lipstick samples which looked like perfect size lipsticks for ponies and I had a make-over day with a few of my girls.

My biggest pony regret?
Giving up on collecting for so long.
