I think people are suggesting the same thing over and over because your not getting how big a deal it is to the community not to decard a G1. All of us would love that feeling of opening a G1 and reliving our childhood but in the end decide it's not worth it to permanently destroy a piece of pony history. These items are limited and once it's done it can't be undone. Like others have said, no one can tell you what to do with your own possessions but this is a very sensitive subject.
I think ebay is going to be a good indicator of what’s cheapest G1s.One alternative would be to buy a boxed set of the Fantasy Rainbow Unicorn Fakies and open that instead? To be honest I think they’re made of the same plastic as G1s so i’m pretty sure you’ll get the same smell and feel. (we know that hasbro was just cranking out ponies in 1983 and they truly probably used the cheapest plastic possible - aka Modern Fakie Plastic. My G1 Medley feels like a chew toy). Just an idea.Edit - Here’s a youtube channel where a guy decards 90s toys:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1PJBA6YWQq-Tt3xOExkUhA... so we don’t have to!
Whoa, totally disagree that Hasbro used "the cheapest plastic possible." Yes, G1s are squishy compared to later gens. They are meant to feel "soft" (as opposed to harder plastics, like those you'd see on action figures, or brittle plastics like My Pretty Pony.)
It's weird how Barbie, despite being probably the #1 selling doll, has way worse hair than MLPs. Like, that blond mass looks sleek and lovely in the box, but start playing with it and it gets perma-frizz. I have never seen a thrift store Barbie with what I would consider truly nice hair (sleek and silky.) I believe Barbie hair is made from saran, while MLP hair is (more expensive?) nylon.According to Ruth Bush (Hasbro employee & G1 team member) the G1 hair came from a small company in Italy. I think she said that they went under around 1988(?) or so and they had to switch suppliers.
