Finally! I Found Wild G1’s!

[StormMaeker]

My charity shops are always big on the fakies. Only a few time have I found ponies. This time… I finally found some G1’s! With them was two G2’s as well

The G1 Princess ponies are not in the best condition and I think their past owner much preferred G2’s and flutter ponies over G1 princesses but I think I’m just pleased to have finally found some G1 ponies. Every pony needs a home too

Being in the UK, we have here the UK variant of Princess Starburst which is Princess Amber over here. The pen marks are a shame and I don’t think I’ll be able to do much about those. I could learn to love her the way she is though. She is also here with Princess Misty


The two G2’s I have found are Cupcake and Morning Glory. Now I have a McDonald’s Morning Glory and a normal one. I really like the neon hair of Cupcake and how her name seems unfitting to her symbol. I may not like gimmicks on my ponies but I am fine with the magnet nose. I have no idea what she’s been using in her hair but it is wild! Just like how my Sun Sparkle was when I found her

And last of all, my first flutter pony, Wind Drifter! This was such a surprise after seeing the Princess ponies. I like how the tail still has some style and I know I’m going to have a lot of fun taking photos of this one. I’m not sure if I’ll make wings yet

They are currently being cleaned up
Yellow is my favourite colour and I am very pleased to have some new yellow ponies. Also, Wind Drifter has green hair. I don’t have many ponies with green hair!

EDIT:
Both my princesses were rattling so I thought I’d better open up to investigate. Princess Misty’s head popped off super easily and she was rather clean inside but two discs fell out… I did the same with Princess Amber. One disc fell out and her neck is full of glue. Something tells me her head wasn’t originally supposed to come off?
What are these? Are they from their symbols?
And was Princess Amber’s head originally one to turn?

The plastic discs are probably leftover flash from the tail hole, tho it's weird that there were two in Misty

Awesome find! Congratulations!

I think this too, I got G2 with the same thing and while trying restoring found the same circle pastics. At first i thought I broke something but then when i opened more ponies found out a lot have and others don't. First time I see this in G1, thought it was some G2 thing hahah

That would make perfect sense. I don’t know why that wasn’t my first thought
I decided I’ll keep those inside them as it’s a part of them

Congratulations on the awesome finds! I haven't seen G1s in the wild in years. Those are really pretty, too.

 

[Leave a Whisper]

Awesome!

Nice! It makes my heart happy to know there are still G1's to be found in the wild

Here they are all nice and cleaned up:


The princess ponies were really stubborn to untangle and took a while. I didn’t realise how fragile the tinsel colour was in Princess Misty’s hair… when brushing it out, it started flaking off. I don’t know what to do about that lump of tinsel on her head. Heat is bad, right?
The princesses both still have pen on their face but I got some green pen off from Princess Amber. Princess Misty’s seems to have kind of faded a little during the cleaning.
Princess Amber’s hair is styled to cover the worst of what her previous owner has made her up to be

They look so gorgeous aaaah! Huge improvement. And the hair on the G2s is so pretty.

The way Morning Glory’s forelock blends into the rest of her hair is what I like best about her I think. All the hair and tails turned out to be so soft

I love the before and after. Amber's pen marks look kind of like battle scars, maybe she got them defending Ponyland

Battle scars are a great way to see them! I am already used to her having all these marks on her so they now don’t bother me too much now

When I searched for her back card story, it goes like this:

“Princess Amber tackles life with lots of enthusiasm. Whatever happens she is always the first to get involved and the other ponies know that as soon as Amber says "That's no problem" trouble is sure to follow. Making sure Princess Amber looks before she leaps is her special dragon friend Flash.”​

Maybe that’s how she got her battle scars. Since Flash wasn’t with her, maybe they got separated at some point and Flash wasn’t there to make sure she “looks before she leaps”…
