I think the problem is the spray paint. Generally sprays don't work well on pony vinyl, even if sealed. You can see how it's only the white bits that are running. Most likely the spray never fully cured. Acrylics are really the best and only paints for ponies.
She's real. :) Hasbro never did any reissues of G1 plushies (there are some G1 pony coin purses in the G2 beanie style but only from Japan). Normally she'd have a fabric tag on one of her rear legs. The loop is for hanging her for display. Bowtie is about the most common softie so you'd...
Agreed, if it's on ebay and the seller doesn't have a Best Offer option they are probably not looking to haggle. The price they've started the auction/BIN for is what they want for the item.
And, if you're talking about the porcelain coffee mugs and the like some of those pieces are quite...

Other than Ice Crystal the others aren't UK exclusives. He will be probably at least $90 (and more likely well over $100 at auction but of course you never know!) but the rest are common.
Well, there are books, but your best and quickest bet is bluerose's price guide, or you can post a price check thread in the main discussion area, with pictures, and let others price them out for you.

That happened when ponies were in transition from having magnets to not having them. They quit putting in magnets and just covered the hole with a white cap.
It's that particular color of blue, sadly. It's why you see so many Quarterbacks with brown spots all over them. They won't spread to other ponies because it's Lucky's plastic itself deteriorating. Certain conditions may speed the process and ponies stored with him may be affected by that...
Some of my Candy Cane ponies smell vaguely sweet but none of my Sundae Best ponies smell like anything in particular. My Cherry Treats smells, of course, of Play-Doh. Most of my Sunshine ponies work though! I think one of them is permanently stuck in a half-changed state but she's pretty like...
Both are for sale, and ideally I'd like them to go together because I am sentimental like that, lol! But of course it's not a big deal if they don't. ;) They're in my Etsy store but if you don't use Etsy I am happy to take them down for you...
Not a lot to say about these girls, I'm trying to clear my backlog of half-completed plushies taking up space so I can concentrate on some difficult commissions. ^^;
