This is a bit of a late brag as I got most of these a week ago. But I work at a thrift store of sorts and somebody donated a lot of ponies, mostly G1, to us last Monday. We don't typically take toys, but all of my coworkers including the managers and supervisor know I collect MLP as I've talked about it before, so they took them in for me.

Overall, I added 18 new ponies to my collection, got upgrades for two I had prior, bought one I had just to clean her up (Cotton Candy), and also a bonus Moondreamers toy.

I literally yelled "holy shit" out loud when I pulled Mimic out of the container. I have literally had DREAMS about thrifting this bitch that I woke up from extremely disappointed. I have been collecting these damn plastic horses for over 11 years! Mimic all but felt like a pipe dream! One week later and I still can't believe I have her. Maybe now I can actually work on completing the Twinkle Eye set.

Powder is on her own in a photo not included with the rest because I got her later. She came in with the others, but for some reason I incorrectly thought I had her, maybe because she is so common. But I did not, and so I bought her some days later because she was still there.

My manager, and I cannot thank her enough for this, priced the ponies very well for me. Some more common ones like Powder are maybe around their value, but she priced the majority of the normal sized ponies + Roary at $5, Mimic at $7 because she's more expensive (yes I did show her the eBay sales for Mimic LOL), and babies and Flutter ponies at $3 since they're smaller.

The ponies themselves were in various conditions. Obviously from the photos, Cotton Candy was and still is the worse. I have FF Cotton Candy already, but I've really been wanting to get my hands on a gross pony just to clean them, and she was the perfect candidate. She, and a good handful of the other ponies, had this sticky pink crap on her body. My suspicion is that the person who had these ponies as a kid (the donator's now adult daughter, according to my manager) probably had sticky candy hands or something and touched the ponies with said sticky candy hands (possible only Cotton Candy as she was the only one caked in it, perhaps CC touching the others got it on them too). They've mostly cleaned up very nicely, with the pink stuff leaving some minor pink staining on some of them. Cotton Candy though still has a lot on her. I have to scrape it with my fingernails to get it off which is really gross and it's just very tedious with her.

Thankfully, even though Mimic did have a couple small spots of it on her, she cleaned up the best and doesn't seem to have any staining from it. She's one of the best conditioned ponies of the lot.

I am so, so lucky for this find and it was quite the way to start my MLP collection additions of 2023. Great way to start the new year!

Mimic the My Little Pony

Mimic was a pony produced in 1986 that routinely sells for like $200+ that I mentioned earlier today

Here are some theories I found from the earliest posts I could find on the topic, which pretty much sum up what I've heard.

Posts from ~2014-2016 indicate that Mimic sold for $60+, and now they sell for like. $200.

There is a theory that often goes around that they "Made fewer Mimics" and "kids didn't like her because she was green". The more I've looked into the ponies the sillier this is. First of all, Mimic looks awesome and has a PARROT on her which is so cool

Not only did the VERY FIRST MLP collection include a green pony (who they reproduced multiple times), there was another green twinkle-eyed pony and there are other ponies, like this lemon-yellow one, with bright colors. All of these go for like $20 on ebay.

Of all the Twinkle-eyed ponies, the only two I could find that had price hikes were these two, Quackers and Bright Eyes, which go for closer to $50 although there were a few listings as low as $30

Another theory is that all of them were produced in low numbers, but then, why are only half just slightly more expensive?

Maybe this guess is biased because I've always loved Quackers but my hypothesis is Quackers is expensive because she has a cute duck and beautiful rainbow hair and Bright Eyes is being artificially inflated by sharing her name with a more famous pony (the TV show European-exclusive BE sells for 150+) + being part of the twinkle eyed lineup.

Actually I just found this great angelfire site that has highs and lows for pricing. Bright Eyes and Quackers used to be lower, it's only Mimic that's been unusually high in the set, at least as of like. 2016.

I feel like mimic actually kind of peeves me because of how bothered I am about "girls don't like pink". Idk, adult collectors look at mimic and think her colors are baller af but somehow think a little girl can't recognize that? For gods sake, she has a PARROT. Mimic is amazing please give her the respect she deserves. but also stop charging $200 for her. ;-;

cadence taking in shining armor's whoopsie changeling baby and he throws a big fit about it (he'll come around eventually <3)

i think he'd kinda struggle with Mimic in the beginning given he's his biological son with a creature that posed as his now wife and manipulated him. and also they dont like changelings in general so that super sucks for him lol.

cadence in contrast loves the little grubby right off the bat because it's her husband's son and also he has no one because of what he is and it's like season 2 so the changeling stigma is still pretty YIKERS amongst ponies. i think she'd just willingly offer up her love to the baby half-changeling hehe. :3 and the love metamorphosis solution discovered in the later seasons obviously hasnt happened yet.
