  • Hello everyone! First of all, apologies for the delay in releasing this video. The good news first: Thanks to the help of all the Patrons I was finally able to buy a new camera! So this will be the last pony in 720p :) The bad news, however, is that my microphone got jealous and stopped working. I'm using a headset mike, I hope the quality is okay. The next video(s) should look and sound better. Today we have a Baby Moondancer! This pony was kindly donated by Chalotte, from Denmark. You will see a few of hers in the coming weeks. So thank you very, very much Chalotte!

    I'm glad you loke the box, I can't what to see what you will do with them, specially the bad mommy pony.
    I'm sorry I didn't wrapped them up neat so you could make a unboxing video.

      Please!!! Don't say that!! I loved the box, in all its pony-filled beauty. I had my family visiting so it was very difficult to film the unboxing (I tried but it didn't look good because I had to change my workspace and the light was so bad). But you sent me so many treasures! Some challenging ones, for sure! And a lot of inspiring possibilities. I started with this one because it was in a great shape. I just added a link to your channel in the description and also a thumbnail in my favourites/recommended list 😊😊

    Thank you to Boo for being the official void creature of this channel.
    I like the long hair! If the pony goes to someone who wants it shorter, that's easily done. You can't stick cut hair back on, so longer is always sensible!

      I agree about the long hair. Easy to trim, quite a bit harder to grow back. Amazing how big a difference a good cleaning made. With the new main and tail she looked new.

    So interesting that you mention the accessories, I picked up a few G1 babies as my first ever restoration project and Baby Moondancer was one of them! The bag also came with some accessories, of which I think about half were Moondancer's. I feel very lucky to have some of these tiny parts nearly 30 years on and maybe I'll look around Etsy and complete the set one day.

    idk if anyone here remembers, but quite a few videos ago I asked for help finding my childhood ponies (a peachy vinyl unicorn and a purple hard plastic earth pony). well, I found them after a long while of searching! the unicorn was a Chap Mei pony (I didn't know those were sold in Europe so that was interesting), and the earth pony was G3 Cloud Dancer who apparently only had a McDonalds toy and no official G3 toy. pretty interesting to find out! I found Cloud Dancer together with a few more McDonalds MLP toys online, so I bought them and now I have my childhood pony again! I don't think I'll go looking for the Chap Mei pony, I think it's kinda ugly, haha

    This pony feels very familiar but she doesn't seem to be in my collection. I swear I had this one but she may have been a casualty of 10+ house moves and my mother not caring about my stuff and giving most of it away without my permission while I was packing to move into my own house. I will have to acquire her again soon 😍

    I actually looove the reroots with extra-long hair! hahaha
    Althought I also get the point of preserving the original identity of the pony, please don't stop making those very long hairs! Maybe keep doing them for ponies that are way too damaged and old, so they'd already need to go through a lot of changes anyway.

    I get the meow song every night from 7pm to 9pm. Feed my cat earlier than 9pm and he wakes you up at 6am vs 9 to 10am. Very painful to have such a food motivated cat. I love him to bits though.
    Its just getting screamed at every time you move gets tiring lol.

    • @RetroGeekCrafts
      @RetroGeekCrafts  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha yes! When I was little, my cats ate dry food and they just some some from a big bowl when they felt like it. Boo, however, eats food from pouchies and she hates if it's not super fresh -.- So it's constant feeding, including the middle of the night! But I wouldn't change for the world 😊😊

    • @tanglelover
      @tanglelover 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@RetroGeekCrafts Louie eats twice a day at set times because he'd scream into oblivion if I feed him earlier than usual and would beg for more if I fed him more than twice a day.
      He only eats wet food because dry food fills him for 10 minutes and then he's hungry and screaming again. Any feedings off schedule make his food hunting behaviour and screaming worse. He once tried to eat wet cat litter because I fed him early in the morning so he wouldn't puke on a car trip. He eats basically everything not nailed down if given the chance.

    Ahh! I remember, the childrens club I used to go to after school when I was younger had a whole bunch of older ponies, so I grew up with those ones and not the newer G4 ones. I remember the mother moondancer was my absolute favourite to play with (I forced my friend to be the baby one, they even had all the accessories that came with her)! It's nice to see a pony that I recognise :)

    Wow, talk about a metamorphosis - the color change is crazy!
    Recently I found my G2s, and well, they don't fare too bad, really, but I should wash them at the very least - I don't feel confident to do anything else, but then again, they are relatively fine. The tails and manes are a bit dry and scruffy, but that can be fixed.
    I really love G2s the most - and I don't even think it's nostalgia talking - I just love their body and head shapes - graceful and cute.

    For the glittery style, you might be able to use Golf Leafing Size. It's a special kind of glue used for gold leaf. If you used glitter instead I think it would work. Other things might be glitter glue for makeup.
    To seal glitter you need something that's very high gloss, or you lose the sparkle.

    I love that you give the ponies long hair! It allows for doing lovely curls (which of course always reduces the overall appearance of length). I also feel like it gives their owners the option of trimming the hair shorter if they want to.

    • @RetroGeekCrafts
      @RetroGeekCrafts  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, I agree. I always feel a little guilty when I "keep" a pony with a name, even if it's temporary. But I think a charity auction is a good alternative 😊

    I happen to enjoy the longer perm curls, but do whatever makes you happy! I honestly know next to nothing about the My Little Pony lore (I found your channel my accident and just find the cleaning and repairing soothing to watch), so I really enjoyed getting to hear Baby Moondancer's story. I'd love to hear more of them in the future if you can fit them in!

    • @RetroGeekCrafts
      @RetroGeekCrafts  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you, that's great to know 😊😊 I liked reading the story, I don't usually pay attention to them (the foreign ponies never had them) but looking at this one I realized that the toy creators out some effort on them; so I thought they could be a nice addition :)

    Moondancer was my first My Little Pony and Baby Moondancer was my first baby pony. Mama Mooddancer was given to me by my grandmother. She found Moon embedded in the side of the road. We were very poor, so any toy was treasured. I had to scrub her up and her tail was gone. (I later replaced it with a purple Lady Lovely Locks bird) I still have her, purple tail and all.

    • @RetroGeekCrafts
      @RetroGeekCrafts  2 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @DH-gq7bm

    This pony was the first ever g1 I'd seen. I'd gotten her as a Christmas gift one year. My mom didn't know much about mlp bc she grew up poor but she knew it was a vintage one. I'm very happy I got introduced to them and this pony is one I'll cherish forever. The only problem is shes super yellow and has a marker stain on her nose. I dont really have the tools to fix that, but shes cute nonetheless

    • @RetroGeekCrafts
      @RetroGeekCrafts  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm so glad you like the G1s so much 😊😊 They are my favourite generation. This is my first unicorn pony, I think it's super sweet. I hope you can fix yours, if you live in a sunny place you can try just leaving the pony in the sun; you don't need any chemicals, the pen and sometimes the yellowing can fade just by exposure!

    I think I had this exact same pony with nearly the same haircut, and I gave her little earrings that I didn't like on myself. I gave so many ponies and dolls and stuffed animals haircuts and piercings hahahha. Watching you restore these is so nostalgic because I had a lot of them as hand-me-downs through family, but we ended up giving them away when I got older since there weren't any girls in my generation. ;n; I still miss my ponies and my Schleich models.

      @@RetroGeekCrafts mostly joyful recollections luckily and more nostalgia than melancholy. Thank you for the concern. I am so excited every time I see a video of yours I haven’t seen yet and especially when I recognize the pony or toy. I personally love the redesigns and interpretations you have for some of them they are so pretty. The level of detail that goes into some like the Dia de los Muertos pony is amazing and looks so satisfying and fun. I think it would be fun to one day get some old toys and redecorate them but hopefully more artistically than when I was a kid haha.

    I always somehow end up with ponies who have mould or ingrained dirt, and its the toughest thing to remove. I have a Yum Yum with ingrained dirt, and I genuinely struggled to remove it. I tried acetone, toothpaste (which left yellow stains and I regret till this day) and boiling water, which further stained the pony for some reason when I scrubbed it. I'm going to give the UV chamber a try, because where I live there's practically no sunlight...You did a great job on this pony, and your videos always inspire me to keep trying to restore the ones I have to the best of my ability!

    • @RetroGeekCrafts
