Holy expensive sea ponies, Batman!

I think the story is cute... and special!

I didn't know anyone could print out puffy stickers.

and making bubble stickers on a regular printer is impossible as far as I can tell.
the bags do not look resealed, they look factory.
It could be fake, but I really, really, really doubt it

It's the story that makes me doubtful, I mean why now? because the pony's are collectors items? IF a factory worker got freebies they would have given them out to kids by then, instead of keeping them, they where considered children's toys.

Either way, this guy smells like a scammer.


Oh puffy stickers! they can be made, it just depends of what kind of plastic they are printed on. Does anybody want copies of there favorite stickers? both flat and puffy, I can make them for you.(No Seriously, I am not making copies I was being sarcastic.)

Any plastic bag can be re-sealed, there are kitchen appliances that seal food using a heated press.

why now, that can be asked about pretty much all auctions on ebay. rare and old stuff keep popping up all the time.
ofcourse puffy stickers can be made, but not on a regular home printer.

I was watching them cos my wave jumper is not in best condition but went a bit higher than i could afford seeing ivee baught a few more lately waiting delivery of seabreeze and her shell and two sea mists with her shell so couldnt afford them never mind wil keep searching for sand dollar then if i get her i might stop buying them lol

That Wave Jumper, was in AMAZING condition. I've been collecting well over 10 years, and wow. I've never seen one look that good. Wow.

The sea mist gets cancer by just looking at it, so for him/her to have found a perfect one to have create a fake MIB, that's a long shot. Why would someone spend the time it took to find a mint Sea Mist (Approximate value - $1, obtain a similar ribbon, print off a sticker for $400? Esp since the last sea ponies that sold MIB went for just around $200. The profit just isn't there. Even to sell multiples of different ponies, the profit isn't there

Stuff like this turns up all the time. A few years ago at a Barbie auction (it's in a past issue of Barbie Bazar) someone found a protype of Barbies Dad's head. After visiting Hasbro's offices at the pony fair two years ago, with a chance to look inside the employees offices, you'd be amazed at how many toys on their desks. Someone had their wall covered with MIB action figures, including all of the S Club.

Another odd find, was years back, someone found A LOT of Baby TAF Dancing Butterflies Mint in package. They had a pic of a glass bowl just filled with them. Odd things turn up all the time. It's the greatest part of collecting. What's going to turn up next???

GOSH! They are so pretty and mint. I might even fall in love with sea ponies that don't have rust, ratty hair, mold and the like. So pretty!
