Hi all! I have a big pony haul coming in and I've got 6 of 30 so far. Ringlets arrived today too! She's in pretty bad condition, I spot removed some marks and gave her a quick wash (ideally I'm waitng until all of my ponies arrive before I give them the spa treatment) and her mane is so badly frazzled. I could try to salvage it and straighten out the frizz, same goes for her tail which is just super coarse to the touch and feels very prickly and straw like.
Ringlets is my first Brush n Grow pony, I understand how they work but I've never owned one til now. Her tail was inside of her body and I cranked her head though nothing happened (it turned very easily but with no effect on the mechanism in the body) so removed her head just to be safe and pulled the tail out that way.
I'm unsure how to go about fixing the mechanism so it works. The head does go back on but isn't totally secure, a little loose, and the body mechanism feels extremely stiff and can't really be rotated in any way. I'm kind of afraid to remove anything to get a closer look because I don't want to break the mechanism and worsen the condition. If you have any advice please let me know, she has such a beautiful long tail and I'd love for her to function as she originally would've!
Also I have a quick few other questions! I also received my first baby today, Baby Half Note (BBE) and I know her eyes were pretty damaged from the seller's photos but they look a lot more daunting in person! Her left eye looks very rusty as does her right with the right having paint scraped from the lid. The whites are totally yellowed too.
And lastly I received a new Cotton Candy and she came with the Tennis Fun/Pony Luv pony wear (without the shoes, visor and racket) and they're very discoloured - how would I go about washing them and getting rid of most of the yellowing? My mum suggested bicarbonate of soda and hand washing. The ribbon is frayed at the edges and I don't want to throw these in the washing machine in case they get destroyed. Any advice would be most welcome! Also I'll be sure to share my complete haul when it arrives! I have some more G1s coming and a bundle of G2s with accessories that I'm super excited to show
