Thrift store find! Rare or not?
« on: August 26, 2014, 05:56:37 AM »
So I today went to my nearest thrift store and was surprised to see a My Little Pony there! MLPs are not very common in thrift stores in Estonia...at least I don't find them that often. So it was a G3 styling size Star Catcher, who is in such a bad state, a bait. But I had to save this poor little girl, cause I know I can one day ship her to a loving new home ^^

So I cleaned her, but the dirt pretty much didn't come off. Only that pink color ALMOST disappeared in warm water and hasn't come back.

I don't remember seeing her in Estonia on pony shelves, so is she overall rare or only in here?

And I am willing to trade/sell her! PM for offers!

Congrats on her! Do you have the ability to buy a magic eraser? Those would clean her up well :)

 I agree with avene1984. If you have a magic eraser, that should do the trick :) I've personally never seen her before as a styling pony. Has her tail been trimmed? I'm not too sure on her price, but I might guess something between $10-$15? But I'm not too sure so you should get some other opinions too haha :)
Good luck!  :good:

Thanks! I've heard about magic eraser and I know they are in shops here, but I have always forgot to buy one :P In future I will!

I have her too, though mine's white with faint pink here and there. She looks really nice when the most of the pink is gone. Cool find
Thanks to TheRockinStallion for my Ponysona Artless

I don't think she is particularly rare (just because I have one myself, lol!).  Still a nice find though :)

The dark pink colour shouldn't come back, it should stay pretty light, unless she's kept in a cold place.

Just be careful with magic eraser on her as it can remove all of her colour changing coating.

She is lovely! Congrats on finding her.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
