Hey everybody. I’m new to these forums so I am sorry if I am posting this wrong.
I am a collector and I have bought a lot of g1s and such which as you guys all know they can have a lot of problems (ex. Cancer, mold, random highlighter spots) I feel I am kind of an amateur collector even though I have 100+ ponies in general and have had them for all of my life.
I have been concerned that some of my ponies could be growing mold inside, but it’s hard to tell. I’ve never taken off a head of a MLP. Is it worth doing it to all of them even if there is no problems? For example I have a g1 Gusty and she has what looks like smooze all over her, I’m not sure if this is from mold growing inside or just vinyl aging. So should I remove her head to clean inside? The same goes for my ponies suffering from pony cancer/regrind, does anybody know if the discoloration is caused by mold growing inside or is it just random?
When you remove the head, do you glue it back on? Or does it just plug in. I have tried to find a YouTube video or thread on cleaning mold from inside but I have no luck. If you guys have any tips or advice of what I should do it would be helpful. I’ve heard of soaking moldy ponies on the inside in colorox, but is that the best way to get rid and will it damage the hair?
I am sorry if this thread is too long. I am just stuck on what to do and I am buying more ponies currently and I don’t want to end up infecting my whole collection and I need to know what things I should buy. I try to keep my ponies in good condition. Thank you for reading!
