Why love thrift stores...

I fixed up the Rarity that came with my ponies and did some searching, turns out she's from the Carousel Boutique, so that pink dress/saddle thing is hers...Still not sure if I want to keep her or sell her haha.

Never heard of that one, but if it's rare and you're not particularly attached to Rarity, it's worth a try.
 
Tonight's finds!

I dedicate tonight's finds to the darling Angel_Foil, as 2 of my 5 finds tonight were donkey pose ponies!

First, Razzaroo

Next, Spring Carnivale:

And finally... Berries 'n Cherries, Flitter Flutter (who I thought was going to be another Scootaloo, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover she wasn't), and Blossomforth II:

And... yeah. All of these girls need work. You can see Blossomforth is especially dirty. Or you could if I wasn't taking pictures at night with my iPad. But I have faith in my pony cleaning abilities. :) These are from the same store that I've gotten... well, almost every other pony in this thread. Continuing to reinforce my theory that they have a big ol' pony horde in their back room.
 
Yay for more finds! I like the white ones pose, I haven't seen a pose like that at all anywhere so far.

It is known as the "Fizzy Pop" pose. Only Blossomforth, Fizzy Pop, and Lulabelle were made in the pose... so it makes sense you haven't seen it, haha. There are over 300 G3s, after all!
 
Speaking of Fizzy Pop... [AH! I AM FREAKING OUT BECAUSE] I found her in a 3-pack of ponies at the thrift store today! Along with another Razzaroo and Daisy Paisley:

I also found Scootaloo, who is nicer than the one I already had:

And a rather baity G1 Rosedust, who I am about to put in the Freebie Forum:

Yay for donkeys!!!!! Thanks Melissa. Great finds!
:edit: ok the triangle symbol was an accident whoops XD
 
I like the one with the colour on its legs too, awesome. Thanks for Rosedust! :)

It just cracks me up that I found 3 donkey pose ponies in 3 days. Hahaha. If you'd like to trade a Razzaroo, I'm going to add her to my trade thread once she's cleaned up.
 
Ok so today and yesterday, I got a few more ponies. Yesterday I found my first G1 So Soft, and she's North Star, but she's had a bit of a trim to her mane and forelock, otherwise she's in pretty good condition. She came with some fakies and McDee's like they usually do.
Today I found a G3 Bowtie, never seen her before, she's very pretty and is she a rarer one or no? She needs some help the poor thing, and I am hoping I can do it. She came with a G4 Happy Meal Applejack and some G3 McDee's again.

I'm good on Razzaroo, thanks anyway :) . The donkey army is coming along quite nicely though, under the leadership of good ol' General Shenanigans. ;)
 
I found a Sweetie Belle's gumball surprise house, still has working batteries and in good condition
no ponies, but I have a gen 4 Sweetie Belle which...will do for now lol

I think Bowtie is one of the more popular ones, in that she is more sought-after, but I don't know that she's rare. That's awesome though. I love Bowtie and I've never seen one in stores. I did find a Strawberry Surprise yesterday, who still smells faintly of strawberries. I've decided to stop posting pics quite so much though.

Oh ok, that's what I was thinking. I love the colours in her mane and tail, but unfortunately she looks to have a bunch of faded ink dots or something on her, that a magic eraser won't get off, and I don't have any acetone or oxyclean at home, because I don't use those things, but would they be worth buying to try to help? I've read the tutorials on cleaning, but I don't want to waste money on supplies that won't work either.

I have a Strawberry Surprise too, she was the first one I got when I started collecting again in the same bag with Butter Pop. She also still smells and smells very good!

Honestly... If a MCME won't get the stain off, don't know that it is worth buying other supplies. If you don't use acetone or OxyClean for other things, I think it's probably not worth buying. Those things probably cost about as much as the pony, haha!
 
So bummed... I found a ton of ponies tonight (I even put some back because I found so many), and Photobucket isn't working! I can't log in to upload pictures. I found:
G1 Pony Bride- I know she's common but I totally love her and have wanted her since I started collecting. I figured I'd eventually end up buying her on ebay but she found me.
G1 Glory- Surface dirt but I think she is in good condition otherwise (she will get a more thorough inspection tomorrow in the daylight). I will probably put her up for sale/trade. What's cool is that my boyfriend had a small My Little Pony collection as a kid and he is almost certain that Glory was one of them.
G1 Baby Surprise- She came in the bag with Glory... she is totally baity. Wings and feet are covered in pen, and she is missing her tail. I'm going to clean her up as best I can but I think she is beyond my skills.
G3 Mochanut- SO stinking cute and in very good condition. Hair needs washing but basically every pony I've found needs hair washing, haha.
G3 Sweet Sparkle- Has some marks that I think I can clean. Her hair seems thin- it's the right length but it seems like some has maybe been pulled out? At first I thought she had had a cut but after brushing it all seems the right length.

Edit: YAY! Photobucket working again!

Pony Bride and other misc. pony toys

Today at the flea market I found G1 Masquerade and G1 Flutterbye in pretty good condition, I was very happy! I'll post pictures of them soon.

That Bride pony isn't common to me, I haven't seen her anywhere! Hope I find her at some point, she's really pretty.
 
Wow, that's a lot of ponies. I check the thrift stores and Goodwills in my town all the time for ponies, but I rarely find any... you're lucky!
