Applejack after the needle was stuck the first time: Now Im a unicorn I guess.
Hahaha yes!! 😁🤩
Welp
Hahahah that is what It came to my mind too 😅 😂
@@Deby_Bumblebee nice xD
Love it! 😂❤
Applejack's design hasn't changed over the years
That just shows how perfect of a pony she is
I agree, she's great! ☺️☺️
fun fact- gen 3 applejack was red with green hair and a single apple half cutiemark.
so they did experiment with her, but the classic design returned due to Lauren Faust growing up with gen 1-2!
@@RetroGeekCrafts do you get your ponys from Amazon
@@mehchocolate1257no
I love g3 but not g3 AJ she looks terrible
It's kind of amazing how much of a difference just the little white, shine dot on the eye makes.
So true! Eyes looks more alive and bright
Or you i😢
T 😊😊😊😊
thank you e😂sc 😂😂f
@@anastasiag.z.ibarguen6087are you okay bro
I got so much joy from seeing that little pony hop into its bath and play around. I feel like that really showed your love for these toys.
You are so kind, thank you ☺️☺️
It's so nice seeing these ponies get their beauty back
Thank you so much for watching ☺️☺️
17:42 That mane toss! Miss Applejack is feeling herself after that amazing makeover! ❤
thank you for including the needle issues (and other moments where you aren't completely satisfied w your work) in your videos. it's so nice to see the whole process and see you work thru problems as you are crafting. i've found it's easy to give up on projects when i make mistakes or am not happy with my work but you posting these videos mistakes and all makes your results (which are always excellent!!) feel that much more achievable and impressive. :)
Thank you so much for your message ☺️☺️ I wasn't sure whether I should leave those parts, too. I'm so glad you found them useful ❤️
This makes me want to style all my ponies hair again I'm going to spend the entire day brushing and styling them it's going to be very fun
I hope you do. Have fun!! ☺️☺️
Applejack looks lovely, and I'm pretty impressed with how the paint pens behaved! Just as a suggestion for tighter hair curls, you might try dipping it in ice water after the boiling water. I haven't heard you mention ice water before, so I wasn't sure if it was part of your styling routine. I've used it before with nylon hair and it will hold a curl pretty well even after just a regular overnight dry time.
personally I feel like the volumptuous hair is almost a part of your style! I think it helps to make the pony look individual from what it would have been out of the box. it has more love, more flaire, and I honestly think it's really charming.
Ich liebe auch wenn sie üppiges hast haben.
Oh how I wish more people could transform the endless piles of stuff people throw away back to something beautiful or useful again. You did such a wonderful job on this little pony and I’m sure someone will be delighted with it!
I really appreciate the love and care you bring to these restorations. You have great skill and patience. Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
I absolutely loved Applejack growing up. So much so that when I got my first horse a few years ago I actually named her after that beloved pony. You did such an amazing job restoring her to her former glory.
lol i love the hair flip at the end! slay applejack slay!!!
This is such a relaxing channel to watch. Very glad you are back!
i love the bouncy hair, very pretty!
It’s so heartwarming just how much love and care and kindness you put into these restorations! Like it’s kind of a small thing but it always touches my heart when you warn us that the pony’s head will be coming off.
Makes me so excited when I see a new video come up!! Love to see the transformation, thanks for all the hard work you do to bring us such great videos!!
Thank you so much for your lovely message. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video ☺️☺️
Wow, the difference between the before Applejack and your restored version is like night and day! ❤
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
Applejack my beloved! I love how she came out, she's perfect 💕Her hair looks so good (and it's also my favorite part of the process to watch!) she is slaying!! ✨
This is awesome! The color sorta reminded me of Applejack's G4 counterpart. XD
And I love the new transitions between every step!
Awesome work!
She looks fantastic! Great job!
When paintbrushes are brand new you should always wash out the starch they add to the bristles to keep them pointy in transport. Otherwise you get starch or whatever in your paint, which might cause problems.
Ohhh! Thanks for the tip! I have been wondering about this. I'll keep it in mind for the next lot of brushes ☺️☺️
Glad to see you back to restoring ponies
Thank you so much, it's great to be back ☺️☺️
i love this!! i think the hair fits applejack a lot and you did an amazing job with everything 💖
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
Wonderful! I love listening to you talk about your processes while I work on my own crafts!
Thank you so much! ☺️☺️
I love these videos ❤ I can just switch off my brain and relax as I watch the pony doctor at work 👏
I'm so glad! Thank you so much ☺️☺️
Aw, Applejack was my first pony when I was just a young’un! You did such a lovely job with her, she looks amazing! ❤
Thank you so much 😊😊
Me too! My first and favourite. So lovely to see this.
If you’re not a fan of cleaning your palettes, you can try using a glossy white tile for bathrooms/kitchens. Acrylic paints generally peel right off after they dry (a thin piece of plastic will scrape up any stubborn spots).
Your G1 My Little Pony Restorations mean everything to me! I appreciate you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
i liked the video ! the hair flip at the end was really cute ... applejack slayyy
Beautiful result!
I really love how sweet you are with these ponies
Thank you so much 😊😊
So glad to watch another video from you. Great idea with using the paint pens, I honestly forget they even exist and it’d be a good option to have. I always find small details very hard with paint brushes but you’re amazing at it
WOW WOW WOW!!!
Amazing job! Reminds me of when I was a little girl. 😮🎉😍
What an amazing restoration of my personal favourite pony! Your work never ceases to amaze me.
Wow Applejack looks amazing now
Still so much love these. They end up beautiful and you give them a second chance.
Woohoo, what a treat on a Saturday - one of your videos!!! Another successful pony restoration 👏🏻👏🏻
Yay, thank you so much! ☺️☺️
She is beautiful. Applejack is one of my favorite ponies. I'm happy that her design pretty much stayed the same.❤😊👍👍
I agree, Applejack is great 😊😊
Another beautiful pony! I have a baby Stella pony that I’m going to try to restore all because of you!! Thank you for all the great videos!❤
Wonderful!! Thank you so much ☺️☺️
Erinnert mich an den song mit dem appeljack😂❤
What a luxurious result! Great work!
Thank you very much! ☺️☺️
I love apple jack it was the one I had as a child and was my favourite. Gosh you done well 😀
It would be really cool to do a little herd of ponies that look like actual horses! You could do a bay, paint, roan, Appaloosa, etc!
I definitely want to try that at some point!! Thank you for the idea ☺️☺️
I really like this pony, the stitches look so nice. It's the perfect mix of creepy and cute and the essence of a G1 pony is really preserved, I think. At least, until the lashes aha.
Because there's no tail, I think the stiffness of the acrylic hair actually really works to make it more Sally-like. The lashes might have been a bit cuter if they were more curled?
Seeing how well the green stuff works for fabric and how it flows, I would love to see you make a frilly dress.
A old school gothic lolita pony would be sooo cute ;_; Something like old Metamorphose or Moi-même Moitié would look great.
I also personally love the shoes you did, it's partially what made me think of this
Grrr this comment posted on the wrong video, damn you autoplay. I have to go to desktop to find it and fix it, sorry!
Just some advice regarding cleaning ponies with Vanish (just in case you don't already know!), don't use it to clean ponies with glittery symbols, jewel eyes, "metal" attachments, etc as it will strip the finish right off them. Also, i don't know if it's just me, but i found it reacted slightly with the plastic of some ponies (mainly blues and greens) and made it kind of textured(?) if i left them soaking in it for too long. Just something to keep in mind in case you have any special/rare ponies!
I love seeing the reroots on the ponies, makes me want to reroot my pony but I dont have the nylon hair and G3 Rainbow Dash has so many colors xD
I buy the hair from a UK company called The Doll Hair Emporium (the UK has Shimmer Locks, also great). In case you want to try 😊 (hair extensions are also a good way to get lots of colours for cheap!)
IM SO EXCITED YAAAAY THIS MADE MY DAY
☺️☺️❤️
I restore dolls and something I’ve come across is using baking soda mixed with a little bit of water to scrub with! It makes the surface feel brand new and removes difficult grime.
Oh, that sounds great! I will try it. Thank you so much for the tip 😊😊
she looks incredible !!!! you did a fantastic job
Thank you so much 😊😊
squeee!!! i love it !!! Applejack was my first ever pony (in 1984) and I still have her :) she is in the shy pose though and her baby was my first baby pony :) and this reincarnation is a really nice one would love to have one like it ! (I can remember my "firsts" of each of the ponies, mountain boys, twinkle eye, twice as fancy, flutter etc)
So happy to see another video from you! I was surprised on how well the pens worked :) that apple color was perfect for the cutie mark!
Thanks so much! 😊☺️
so nice seeing your videos again!! i sleep to them sometimes and they were a big comfort during my first move out of home B:) very exciting to see you around !!! i hope youre doing well, the restoration is beautiful!!
"The color, again, its not a perfect match at all!" proceeds to paint with the most perfectly matched color
I loved watching you scold your rerooting tool hahah
Wow! What a transformation! ❤
Thank you so much!! 😊☺️
Omg this brought back some memories and some happy feels 🥲🩷
Excelente trabajo!!!
Muchas gracias 😊😊
Your nails are so cute! My favourite part of your videos is the painting. It’s so nice to watch, you’re so good at the tiny details. Lovely restoration as always ☺️🍎
Thank you so much!! This encourages me to try nail designs ☺️☺️
Thanks for attaching the links for Amazon now I know what you use!
No problem! ☺️☺️
Looks great as always! ❤
So a mix of restoration and mlp? SIGN ME UP!
*there's a little magic here*
Perhaps applejack has the key to g1
Hehehe thank you so much ☺️☺️
@@RetroGeekCraftsnp
So good i think Megan herself would love it!
Thank you 😊😊
First time watching one of your videos and I'm already subscribed! Your working process looks so fun (at least for us watching haha). Thanks for posting :)
You did an amazing job restoring it! I love watching your videos; they’re so relaxing to watch. Please keep up the wonderful work! I bet so many toys are out there hoping to catch your eyes and getting beautifully restored ;)
(Though I did kind of weirdly like the aesthetic of a toy depicting a bald animal with human flesh skin tone 😂)
LOVE this video ^__^ !!! Applejack is one of my favorite ponies! I think the restoration turned out awesome!
She looks great, relaxed hair and all. Also, sorry about the nails, but hey they were cool.
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
I just got my first rehairing tool and have had issues with it being too loose too! Glad to know I'm not the only one. I'll try tightening with a tool like you did. Thanks so much for all your hard work! Applejack looks great
Oh, it's such a pain! Once it's well secured it lasts forever, but it takes a while to get there! Thank you for your words ☺️☺️
Wauw she's absolutely beautiful. Love her hair.❤❤
Thank you, you're so kind ☺️☺️
She looks so good! The cutie marks look incredible! She's probably much happier now! 🎉 Always so excited to see you post! And also I'm obsessed with the hair! I love when they have a ton of curly/braided/etc hair.
Thank you so much!! You're very kind ☺️☺️
I've seen in doll restoration videos that you can do one boilwash and then put the doll (pony) in the freezer with the curlers still on to get tight curls. Maybe that works. Saludos de Argentina!
Ohh! I need to try that! Thank you so much for the tip!! ☺️☺️ Saludos!
i bought some old messy ponies the other day, hoping to be able to restore them at least a fraction of how good you do!
Oh that's great!! I hope you do and have lots of fun 😊😊
I love all your videos!!! Though it is nice to have a restoration, instead of a custom every once in a while!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 😊😊
Just judging by your hands you have that kind of skin color that can go with any color and I'm just a little jealous 😂
Also I kinda love the g1 models, I'm not really a mlp person but they're just kinda adorably goofy to me
I've only started playing with nail colours recently so it's a whole new world. I love it. I find the g1s a little goofy too 😁😊
For tighter curls, I recommend using something thinner. I used chopsticks on my ponies and got great ringlets. Unfortunately I relocated a few months ago and decided to give all my ponies away 😭
This was such a delight! I'm addicted to your videos! Amazing!
Thank you so much 😊😊
Great job as always
Your videos bring me so much joy! 😊😊😊
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊😊
great video!
Yes, a new video and I love it ❤
Well done of the restoration of Applejack. I love the curly hair. ❤
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
AppleJack looks beautiful again!
I wonder if we still might see Daybreaker, Luna, Twilight, Cadence, Daydream Shimmer, Midnight Sparkle, Cozy Glow Alicorn & chaos Alicorn form. See you on your next video. :)
Why would we see any of those characters here? She barely does any “modern” ponies. And I’m pretty sure a lot of the characters you mentioned don’t even have any doll merchandise made for them
Your videos are so relaxing and you've inspired me to take up pony customizing :)
I'm so glad! It's a lot of fun. Thank you so much for your message ☺️☺️
Ah I love it
Amazing restoration as always ❤️
Thank you so much 😊😊
Soooo cute!! I love her!!!
Thank you ☺️☺️
so happy to see you posting again, i love your vids!!! awesome restoration as usual ^_^
Thank you so much 😊😊
🍎 re welcomes back! And Applejack looks so good! very cute
Thank you! 😊☺️
13:32 She became Apple Jack Unicorn! 😂😂
Hahaha 🤣
I get so excited to see your restoration videos come up :') I do agree with the other commenter in that the music is a bit distracting - I actually find your narration very relaxing as well as the... I don't know, scrubbing/cleaning sounds?
Additionally - do you have any advice on cutting pony hair? I feel like my rehairs always look amazing until I have to actually give them a haircut, then it looks sad and choppy.
I missed you!!!
I love how you made her with curly hair kinda like the g1 show 😊
Great job as always!
Thank you so much, this is such a lovely message! ☺️☺️
