We try to answer questions daily. Questions are not posted until they are answered.

Here are answers to the commonly asked questions about where to resell Painted Ponies, and what their current value is:

When collectors choose to resell their Painted Ponies, we recommend doing so on eBay. There is also a Facebook group, which was set up by Painted Ponies collectors and is not monitored by The Trail of Painted Corporate Office, where you can offer your Painted Ponies for sale. Here is a link to that Facebook group:

To find the current perceived value of your Painted Ponies, we suggest searching on eBay for the same figurine with a similar edition number. If you have an eBay account, you can look up what that particular figurine has sold for recently, and that will give you an even more accurate perceived value.

Sorry, my previous email asked for location of the life-size Cats Night Out, it is actually called Kitty Cats Ball. Thanks

Response From Trailmaster:

The original Kitty Cat's Ball was not created on a life-size Painted Pony form, but rather on a much smaller Masterwork form. It was purchased by a private collector.

What about military themed ponies? I know there are some.

Response From Trailmaster:

On the Official Painted Ponies Website, all Military and Patriotic Ponies can be found under: Collectors/Registry/Ponies by Theme/Patriotic Ponies. A new Registry account will need to be created if a collector has not visited the Registry before. It is a simple sign-up, with just an email address and password.

Why is the Crossing Rainbow Bridge unavailable & where can I purchase it?

Sorry to frustrate you. Crossing Rainbow Bridge has been a very popular Painted Pony and sold out. But more have been ordered, and should show up for sale on our Official Store in the coming weeks.

I understand how to read how many ponies were produced in each edition. But how do you know how many other editions there are and how many were produced in each edition?

Response From Trailmaster:

We keep track of that information in-house, and provide it upon request.

I have 2 ponies that were purchased approx. 20 year ago. Kindred Spirits and Route 66 Never been displayed or taken out of the box Would they have some Value now?

Response From Trailmaster:

I would certainly think so. Go on eBay and see if there are any other of these Ponies for sale, what their edition number is and what they are priced at. That should give you a good indication of their current market value.

If I order now will it arrive before Christmas

Response From Trailmaster:

Yes, but you must act promptly. The longer you wait, the more expensive shipping costs will be.

Karen from Oregon wrote on December 05, 2021:

Are retired painted ponies worth more if you still have boxes for them.

Response From Trailmaster:

Yes, retirement is one of those factors that serious collectors take into consideration when trying to determine the value of a collectible like Painted Pony figurines. It goes back to supply and demand. If no more of something is being made, then what's already been made goes up in perceived value.
