How Do I Clean My Ponies?
Since there are two people working on this site, we have two totally different ways of cleaning our ponies. Please follow the link to learn the different methods avaiable to you.

How Do I Deflock a So-Soft?
Deflocking is a last resort when a So Soft pony has reached biat status. After all these years, while some of them are still fine and soft, some of them have major rubs which is unappealing to anyone. So, someone found ways to get rid of the fuzz and make the pony completely over.

Ho Do I Re-pink/Dye Hair?
Repinking techniques are easy, but require some experience, so use practice ponies until you get the technique down. Once you have learned how to dye hair without removing the mane, the options for customizing are unlimited. whether for repinking or dying, its a good trick to know!

How Do I Curl/Style Hair?
Styling pony hair is best achieved after conditioning while hair is still damp. The traditional pony hairdo is a simple comb out of the mane with a curl that matches the curve on the neckline of the pony. The tail is a simple single loose curl. Both of these can be easily achieved by brushing smooth and styling with your fingers. For the mane, curl along the natural curve of the neckline and let air dry. For the tail, simply wrap hair around finger and release. let air dry.

What are god ways to Store Ponies?
Most people have that I've seen pictures of, store their ponies in rows on shelves. Or if you're like me, you have ponies on your dresser, computer top and anywhere that you can find an empty space. I do recommend shelves though. Others make displays of their ponies in playsets or little scenes or rotate which ones are out depending on what they want to look at that day. It all depends on what you want your ponies to look like and how much room you can afford your babies.

What Is Pony Cancer?
Pony cancer or, as it is officially known in the toy collecting community, vinyl discoloration syndrome, is a permanent discoloration and deterioration of the vinyl used to make my little pony and all other lines of toys and actions figures of the 70's and 80's. It comes from any number of conditions: having water trapped in the inside of their bodies, being stored in high humidity and high heat areas, poor plastic setting at the factory, and it can spread from other ponies who already have it.
