I'm pretty new to the whole pony toy thing, so I'm kind of wondering how I did, I got six for ten and they all seem like they're in decent shape. At any rate, two dollars doesn't seem that bad of price if I find they aren't in the condition I think they are.

All of them have slightly frizzy hair, are a bit dirty, and all save the baby one seem to have spots on them in the same pink color. Which implies the same item bled into them all. I've had toys do this before and the marks faded/washed off, so I'm hoping it'll work the same in this case.


Now for the pictures!

I hadn't seen this girl before buying her, but I thought she was so pretty she motivated me to buy the whole lot solely for her. Dancing Butterflies markings seem to be all intact though she has some of those previously mentioned pink spots on one side of her neck. I also feel like she may stand a little crocked. But I'm not sure.

Goldilocks' ringlets are surprisingly intact, but still frizzy. I'm not sure if theres any way to fix that other than trying to recurl her hair. She has three of said pink spots on her neck. Her symbols also appear to be fine.

This one was slightly harder for me to ID. Sources say Romper has pink hair and photos of other Rompers seem to have light pink hair as well. However, the hair of the one I have does not even seem to have the slightest tint of pink to it, it's pretty stark white. I don't know if it's just faded completely or if this isn't her original hair. A pink spot is also on her neck.

I didn't realize this was Whizzer until I took her out to get a better look, I was pleasantly surprised... However she is the dirtiest of all, with brown marks on her, pink spots, and a small blue spot on her lip. I'm hoping at the very lest the brown marks will come off. Symbols seem fine.

And I also got this girl, who is an unnamed (or is "Christmas baby pony" her name?) that was a Rice Krispy mail-order pony. Shes kinda dirty like the rest, but doesn't have any pink spots. She does have a brown streak on one side of her flank. Symbols seem fine.

Rock-on! Those are some good ones! Excellent! Much love to ponies..awww..
 
Nice finds! The pink spots could be regrind, recycled plastic that has started to discolor, but that's a little weird if all the ponies have them. Romper is who she looks like, as pink pony hair usually turns to white after time. Dancing Butterflies is one of my favorites :)
 
Lovely ponies! They all look like they'll clean up nicely!
 
Great finds!
They'll look great after they get cleaned up a bit.
Also, the baby pony is called Baby Stockings. ;)
 
id say you did good with your first buys and being vintage ponies they look good. You should see some of the things I see at the flea market. :winkpony:
 
Thats a pretty good deal and you got a nice variety of ponies. Nice find and when you clean them up a little, they will look great! :)
 
>3< Thanks guys. Imma try and see if I can get around to cleaning at lest two of them today and fixing their hair.

dragonkiss207, yeah, I thought it was that when I first saw it on Goldilocks, but all the adults have it somewhere on them in the same shade of pink. I guess Romper is just an old lady then. Heh.

CocoChipooRocks, thanks. c: Is that a fan-name or official? :3
 
Thank ye. :3


Well I cleaned Whizzer a few weeks ago but never got the time to take photos.. Or clean any other ponies! :LOL: Man, there were some speedbumps, the blue sponge I was using rubbed coloring off on her wings and one of her shoulders that I had to then take toothpaste and a toothbrush to! But I had to wash here again anyway considering I had to use the toothbrush to get the more stubborn brown spots off of her AND I left soap in her hair the first time! >.< I had to end up taking off her head to rinse soap and dump caught water out.... I don't know how anyone cleans ponies without getting water in them. lol

All in all she took 5 hours to wash and style! Ouch. But she came really clean, I even faded that pink spot in her wing I think, but I'm not brave enough to try other spot-removing methods. Heh Her tail is a little crunchy, sadly, but I'll live. After looking at ponies on ebay I feel like I got a decent deal for her considering her paint seems to be perfect. c: There are so many ponies with at lest partially missing symbols.

Oh.. And you may notice a new blue mark one her leg.. I guess I still had one of those blue beads that are in soaps and hand sanitizers on my hand before I touched her. :/

So ye... I took her outside on a really nice, COOL, sunny day and had a mini photo shoot.. The heat had been an obstacle too.. I like to take photos outside for better lighting. :3

And now I present to you, "Too Many Pictures Of Whizzer". lol

Very nice ponies. <3 Twice as Fancy are always lovely and Whizzer was one of my childhood faves x
 
Whizzer is adorable!! You did a great job on cleaning her up and I look forward to seeing more pics of cleaned ponies. :D

Great lot in all. :smilepony:
 
Beautiful job with her and you did get a good deal. Enjoy your pony herd.
 
Fun finds! I love the Christmas one, and Dancing Butterflies is one of the favorites in my own collection!
 
Thanks y'all. lol
Man its been a rough year... I've only managed to clean Dancing Butterflies... And I did that this summer! Yesh. She cleaned up really well though, so I hope to get some pictures of her soon.. I feel so guilty letting my ponies just sit in a bag for a year waiting to be cleaned. lol
 
6 for $10 sign me up sister! that's a great deal and what lovely girls. I used to have Dancing Butterflies as a kid. She's such a gorgeous Pegasus. Whizzer is another much beloved pony, her colors are so beautiful
Baby Christmas pony is called Baby Stockings :)

the rest are so cute
 
No one gets a Goldilocks in a very nice condition!

Congratz on the find!
