A couple ladies for tonight ♥ Spoiler: they turned out so gorgeous!
Sunbeam and Parasol! Their hair definitely needed some attention, but I had originally purchased these two (and a carrying case, which is
so cute) on the cheap- they were listed as bait! I deal almost exclusively in bait ponies, so I expected them to be awful. I was pleasantly surprised! Their condition is very good, and Sunbeam is basically mint! No paint rub, stray marks, the glitter on her symbol is intact... She originally had a couple dashes of red paint on her, but it hadn't seeped into the vinyl at all. Parasol has a couple light blue marks on her rear, one missing plug of hair at the back of her mane, and the tiniest chip on one of her eyes, but her symbols are perfect as well! I'm very surprised by Sunbeam's mold, though. It's really
weird. Tiny eyes and nostrils, and a really fat head. Is that just normal for her pose? She's the first Glory pose pony I have! Side note: Parasol's head is probably never coming back off. I foolishly sliced the vinyl up and feel very silly about it. Good thing she's metal-free, now!
I
told you they turned out gorgeous! Sunbeam's rockin' a my-little-ponytail and I adore how Parasol's mane just
does that. That streaky thing. Perfection!

Probably! If I understand, their symbols use thermochromic or UV-reactive paint to make an image appear in certain circumstances, and you can buy paint that does that. It'd be fun to play around with, certainly! Maybe I'll fiddle with it in the future if I ever come across a magic message pony whos symbol is still intact and functional.
