Greetings All! I am new to this forum, but not new to MLP. I grew up owning many ponies, but over the years they all "disappeared." (No really I have no idea what happened to all of them

) The only one I had left from my vast original collection was Milky Way, and she has been close to my heart since.
My name is Elisha and I live in Ohio, USA. I am 27 and I have two daughters now of my own. I was buying them a lot of the G4 ponies, but for my youngest daughters 3rd bday, I looked into the old ponies of my childhood...She liked Pinky Pie from G4 so I got her Cotton Candy which was pink with pink hair...I just started diving into it from there...my eldest started looking at pony pics with me, and I bought some more. I started buying the Big Brother ponies since I never had them as a kid and I keep looking for more....
I am trying to learn good methods to clean them, it is a little freaky to me to use cleaners because I am so worried I will mess up and damage the ponies...but I will have to try some of the hints I have been reading on cleaning....I will say a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser was the first thing I thought to use and it works pretty well for most things...the big problems are the pen marks...sigh, and the regrind which I don't think there is any way to fix that....sigh.

But hello to everyone and glad to be here!
