Clear Peter Stone Weanling

The Peter Stone Company was having a sale on some pieces, and I went ahead and bought one. I rarely buy from them - too expensive, but for $19.99, I could buy this weanling foal.
 Peter Stone QH Weanling, #WE21223, $19.99, 9/2013.
Sold as a body, not top quality. I have read on Blab that some of these need to be watched as the plastic may be deteriorating. The tell-tale sign is a vinegary smell, and this piece definitely has that. Some hobbyists do the "lick test," but I am not going to taste this pony! If he begins deteriorating, I'll know anyway!

Love the shading on his shoulders!
