I would rather not have a pony in my collection with mold, cancer, or pindot. Minor haircut, and scuffs or fading I'll keep until opportunities present themselves for upgrade. Regrind and head body color difference really annoys me so I would rather just not have them either.

I don't want mold in my ponies but I like ponies with a bit of a story too them not horrible disfigured to get one with a little dirt or a mark here and there just shows they have been played with.
Now beside mold I cant not stand smoke smells due to allergies and I just don't like that smell and Highlighter. I really hate yellow highlighter on anything that is not suppose to have it on there.
But if I could pick just one to upgrade I wish I could upgrade my Movie firefly hair mine has a very short bob and I rather like the longer look the non cut one looks. Also I wish I could upgrade my G1 firefly plushy eyes mine are all scratched up and that is so sad.

Any ponies with head/body color mismatches, hair problems, chew marks, or pen/marker/highlighter. I don't get why the need to put a child's initials on the pony's feet, belly or any other piece of the pony's anatomy? I always knew which ponies were mine without being marked up. There was no way I would have let my mom touch my pony with marker!

Specifically, lemondrop. I just realized her head is a much brighter, cleaner yellow than her body, which looks sickly grayed out in comparison!

I dig through my pony cabinet often. I find flaws I never remember them having. I must have been blind to the flaws at one time. Or maybe I bought the pony for a swap and it came in bad shape and I kept it. I don't really need to upgrade any except my Baby Brightbow...if she is the pink girl.

Yeah I usually keep the pony that doesnt look the best for a swap partner. I still got my bangles with an age spot. I gave another but she had thin flocking but no age spots.

Yea I usually give my swap partners my best pony and then go on a frantic search for another bestie ROFLOL. Sometimes it takes me a while in the case of the fancy pants ponies.

Most of the upgrades I've done have been accidental - when I get a pony second hand that's better than the one in my collection. One of the few I sought out was Majesty. My old one had head/body mismatch, yellowed body, cancer, and rubbed symbols. My new one is near perfect.

Yeah I wish I could just wave a magic wand and upgrade my ponies at will but I have to be choosy or the pony that needs a upgrade seriously needs one.

Currently I'm trying to find myself a new Party Time. I bought mine a few months ago at a flea market for just $2, and she's probably the worst pony I've ever seen. Her neck seam was shredded (When I took off her head, her neck plug even fell right off! I had to glue it back on), she has gunk all over her face (I think someone tried to superglue her head back on) and she has the worst regrind ever. Her entire body is spotted and she's got cancer in several spots. Luckily she's not incredibly rare or expensive so finding an upgrade will be fairly easy.
