I've slowed down somewhat on buying vintage Ponies - I have so many now, and a lot of the ones I want, I already have, and the ones I might want but don't have are either more money than I want to pay, or are in poor condition, and while I know it's theoretically possible to "rehair" them, I suspect that (a) that's expensive, at least to start up with (tools and supplies) and (b) it might take skills I don't have.
But I do still look. And I found one the other day. Glitter-embedded Ponies are among my favorites (along with the Twice-as-Fancies) and there are still a few I lack.
Like, up until today, Sunspot:
Though most of these ponies were intended to be female (the Big Brothers and the "Daddies" and the Little Brothers were sexually dimorphic - hairy fetlocks), I've headcanoned that Sunspot is a boy, because....well, he just looks like one to me. His color, and plus, on this one, the glitter has accumulated over his molded eyes in such a way that it looks a bit like heavy eyebrows.
And anyway, I don't have many actual "boy" ponies.
Also....well, I think Star Hopper has a boyfriend now...
(Yes, I tend to figure out pony "couples" or "relatives" (I have a few I imagine are sisters, for example, or a few moms-and-babies) and then I set them up together and don't separate them....)
