It's so sad to think of our collections potentially deteriorating like that though! especially the newer items, you'd think they'd be a little more durable because of improvements to materials haha
They have not improved our materials, they have gotten worse. The quality of toys today is terrible compared to that of the 1930s. The things they call fabric are nothing like they were back in the 60's even. So, I fully expect our ponies to either be as hard as rocks like a figurine, or to melt and curl. I can't see a pony making it 100.00 years and nothing they make now that is soft will hold up either.
