UPDATED :D To bait, or not to bait, that is the question...

Epic thumbs up to that! ^

/edit

duuhhhh... the last post on the previous page, i mean :p
 
I say bait her. In that condition she is just going to sit in a bin. She's pretty common, and I don't see her selling off the internet. As a custom, she will live on a shelf and be loved.

:/ Who says she's just going to sit in a box? If she gets traded or sold and someone doesn't want to sunfade her, her hair could even be used to cover her DS issues. Or maybe she could go to someone who doesn't care about marks. I just don't see the need to bait ponies in that condition, common or not. As stated earlier, they won't be common for long if they keep being used as bait...

Not this time, but i have that in mind :)


Also she is safe in my collection. I actually collect the brides, so she'll be loved! She is enjoying the sun right now. Well not right now as it's pitch black outside, but she is being faded :p Her hair isn't so good that it could be used on another pony, it's got some black paint in it. It's fine as it is on her though, she just shows she's been loved :) So I am on the hunt for a baitier bride :p
 
hahaha, another Jean Luc Piccard. I love it! I have been rewatching the series again. :monkeydance:

Anyway, wow! I never knew sun fading worked so well even on marker. That "W" is gone. I should probably try that sometime after all. I just thought maybe it brightened up a white pony but not that. How long does it take normally?
 
All ponies are finite in number, and we can now restore ponies in the worst of cases. Just bait really good fakies and blanks. Or make bait casts so you can make as many customs as you want from one pony. Somebody figure out how to put hair on a cast. Or is it against Hasbro's copyrights or something?

I've had her in my window since june, and i've turned her over when i've remembered her :p but i live in norway and we don't really have much sun, so it's not that fast. we don't get direct sunlight on our house for more than maybe a few hours a day, so i was really surprised at how bright white she is. i know some people have taken their ponies with them in the car to speed up the prossess :) it's worth it for sure! just be careful with precious hair and symbols.
 
A Sundance I bought as a bait on ebay is STILL fading outside during the day... I can't wait to go to my puppysitting job this weekend, because it's three full days of sunfading in the pool on a float, which is perfect for the ones who need it. I'm bringing ALL of the ponies who need it with me to take advantage of it!

Anyway, Sundance looked fine to me, so she's becoming a restore instead. I'm getting hair for her and Cotton Candy from the same lot and restoring. They weren't bait. I'm just sad that they were considered bait to someone else. Most of the time, if they can be easily restored (nasty hair, pen/marker marks, yellowing, etc.) and they are a G1, I have taken to restoring them, no question.

If, like MM Windy I asked for advice on a few weeks ago, they cannot be restored fully for one reason or another (I'm a perfectionist by nature... they have to be just right or mighty close), I'll bait them. Windy is currently smurf-blue, waiting to be rehaired and customized to the likings of a young lady with a huge heart who helps me and another assistant at my job with our two down syndrome girls. I have G3's that I could bait out, but for me, if it's a really baity G1 (with windy, I wouldn't have been able to get her MM symbols to be vivid and useable again and her hair was dry and chopped badly), then I have no problem giving a new life to it. Plus, it gives a new person a love for the older generations, when all they have are the G4's (she even said it's so much larger than the other ones she sees.... I had to laugh and tell her that it is a 20-something-year-old pony... easily dating myself).

She's seen Windy since I first brought her in to show her the original state.
