I was recently researching plastic degradation in ponies. If you collect ponies, you might have come across it from time to time: It's like a sticky/gooey feeling that some ponies get. This occurs because the plasticizer is breaking down in the ponies. Once this happens there are a few things that you can do to lessen this greasy feeling but you can't really fix it. It's pretty sad because this happens to specific types of ponies, and sometimes storing it in an optimal environment doesn't help either... it really sucks for collectors
In my own personal collection (and from when I have purchased of other people's collections) I have noticed specifically the old flat foot collectors ponies with this problem and I have some G3 mcdonalds toys that are starting to degrade.
My question is does anyone know which ponies are prone to this plastic degradation? From what I have seen and read, the collector pose ponies are susceptible, but I have even heard of G3 ponies that have started to degrade If you have seen this occur in ponies, which ones were affected?
