Show me ponies that usually have flaws WITH those flaws!
« on: March 14, 2015, 01:45:38 PM »
In lieu of the "without flaws" thread, I figured we should also give our most flaw-ful ponies a bit of love. Some problems we just cant fix, like cancer and regrind.
Here are a couple of my prime examples of flawed ponies.

Firstly a pretty typical, white-haired Up, Up, and Away.

I don't have anyone to share yet, but I wanted to take a moment to say I love this thread. I find the other thread really awesome with the flawless, beautiful ponies. But I think this is important, too. It allows people to see what various flaws look like, which is useful for learning. And it gives the flawed ponies a bit of attention, which seems like a very "pony" thing to do anyway. :)

Some flaws just happen and some can be absolutely heartbreaking, but (I hope?*) most can be overcome with a pony finding the right owner.

*Are the majority of flaws purely cosmetic or are there some that newer collectors should be aware of that can be damaging to a whole herd? My first G1s will be arriving later this week so I need to start looking into how to take care of them. My apologies if this unintentionally derails the focus of the thread.

I've read that pony cancer is contagious, but honestly, I haven't seen any ponies of mine that have "developed" it when being stored with problem ponies. It's just the plastic breaking down, really, so I don't see how that could spread.
Possibly pindot mould would be something to look out for.

I think Yum Yum looks FAB with white hair! I think the same about UUA as well.



Adding a few more of my own!

Sunshine ponies with crazy frizzy hair.

I think that Yum Yum looks stunning with her white hair!!! :heart:
*goes and runs off to take a picture of her TAF Age Spot Confetti....*

As promised...

Seems as though Trickles didn't want to be outshone by her sister, so she had to be included too, but it's really just bad on her head:

All of my Rainbow ponies from this set have it to some degree, but these two are the worst (best?)

Keep those flawed wonders coming!

This is a fantastic thread; you can never give flawed ponies too much love!
Here are some of the less-than-perfect lovelies from my little herd...

Linden is a faded frizz-bomb with a bent wing.

Heather also has faded hair, a little bit of rust and a horrendous case of tail frizz!

And Cassie, with symbol rubs, wonky legs, a dodgey neck seam and a weird dent in one side.

Actually pony cancer or vinyl breakdown won't spread between members of the herd. This is a longstanding misconception. However, if your ponies are stored together in less than ideal conditions (humid, no air circulation, hot) there is a greater chance that more of them will develop these flaws.

Regrind Cloud Puff. She's supposed to be purple like the one on the right, but this one's regrind is so even that I thought they were two different versions of the same pony for many years. I still decided to keep both after learning it was just regrind. I think the pink one is prettier anyway. ;)
