Hi all again Please help me out if you can!
After cataloguing my whole G4 collection, here is a list of all the ones I have at least one extra of: https://data.mlpmerch.com/list/5240/10/
There are a couple missing off this list, but they're mostly reboot ponies, just ones I haven't been able to ID yet.
What I've struggled to find out elsewhere is which of these would be safe/acceptable to use for customs, and which are hard to find and I should restore and sell, trade, etc. I'm not into the idea of having piles of the exact same ponies and I really want to learn how to make customs too.
Another thing also, I've seen other people say 'oh just do whatever with G4s, they're not rare' and I understand that sentiment but it's not how I feel, especially now the vast majority are completely out of stores, they may not be rare but they are more expensive. Either way, that's not really the answer I'm looking for, I just want to know if any of these are especially hard to find, or a general rarity indication on them, I'm not bothered about the monetary value of them but it does usually link to the rarity of the pony afaik. Any UK-specific G4 insights also would be amazing, as it's really hard to tell sometimes what variant of a set might have been most likely to be the one a pony's from when there's multiple variations, re-releases, and 'bonus' sets too.
Most of my collection are sub-par in quality, but I want to do everything I can to restore every pony I have before I write them off as bait or anything.
Identifying these can also be a total pain with what looks like duplicates, and when there are sometimes black serial codes on the hooves, it should help identify them as the same pony from different sets, but nowhere on the internet seems to keep track of how the codes correlate to the sets!
Even if you don't know about these specific ponies, I would really like to know more about which G4 ponies are harder to find or rare, especially in the UK, for my own future reference if you know anything!
I hope I'm making sense, thank you for helping me!! :3
