1984 My Little Pony Lickety Split Vintage Toy Restoration, Sculpting & Repaint MLP G1 Hasbro Nirvana

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2021
- This My Little Pony Lickety Split might look a little unfamiliar to you... the colour combination is one that only existed in Argentinian ponies! It took me a while to find the hair, it's not an exact match but it's close. For the ears, I repaired them using milliput epoxy putty and repainted them with acrylics. The colour, as you will be able to see, DID NOT match the original xD Any advice about how to "tone down" colours is welcome! The video also includes a rehair and the usual hydrogen peroxide treatment.

It's at least a very close green on the ears! The body seems to be a fairly greyish warm green, so adding a very tiny bit of red to the existing mix to dull down the green might match better.
Ohhh, red? I would have nevr thought of that. I really struggle with colour. Thank you, I will try it!
@@RetroGeekCrafts I think you got a very close match anyway, the paints are just a little more bright while the pony is a little "muddy" looking, if that makes sense. Less saturated.
@@Thysillia Yes, makes absolute sense. I couldn't think of a way to desaturate the paint, I even thought of adding like... flour or something like that xD I got a long road ahead in terms of painting education lol
Color matching is very tricky especially when the paint dries a different color. Acrylic paint always seems to darken so I always mix it a lighter shade than I think I need. White lightens but it also seems to desaturate the colors. I agree with the commenters above, some more white and red would bring the ear color a bit closer to the color of the body. That being said, you still got the color so close! Once you put the mane in, it was hard to tell.
@@RetroGeekCrafts I was just coming down to comments to recommend the same thing- your problem matching was that your green was far too saturated, the hue was just too bright. No matter how much white you added, it would always still be too much of a bright green. Adding the opposing color on the color wheel (in this case red) will desaturate your color and dull it down a bit.
Conversely, if you ever need to brighten up a color, it's a lot harder... typically you have to go with neons to pump saturation up.
Love that the finished toys always look ready to be played with
I love this comment 😊😊 Thank you
Absolutely gorgeous. Pony went from trash to displayable. I know a lot of people here in the states would be proud to have her in their collection.
Thank you Melanie 🥰☺️
Never seen a green version before its like a sweet pistachio
Yes!!! Pistachio with... salmon (hair). Nom xD
Great job! The green is pretty close, and definitely an improvement over being a forbidden snack!!
Thank you so much! Following the advice from some of the comments, I might try to repaint it adding a little red or grey and see if the difference is less visible 😊
It's so satisfying seeing these vintage my little ponies restored. I remember watching the original cartoon when I was little. I was a 90s kid but my mom used to borrow VHS tapes of children's shows from the library and a lot of them were from the 80s. Watching this just reminded me of that.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the videos 😊 I never actually watched the show, it didn't make it to South America (or at least not to my TV). I should! That's quite cool that you could rent VHS from the library!
Didn't think the ears would be salvageable - but you did it, and this little miss is so pretty now!
I love watching your pony vids, they're so relaxing and satisfying 😊 as for how to tone down the colour of the paint for the ears, I would've tried adding a tiny bit of black to dull the colour a bit, then balance out the darkness with more white ☺️
Ohhhh that's a good point!! I am AWFUL with colour theory. This makes sense. Thank you so much :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts no problem, I hope it helps 😊
blue i a better color. black is baaad
Awesome video!! I have always loved collecting Gen 1 MLPs, which may seem strange considering I was born in 2008, long past the time they were on the market. My mom introduced me to them since she used to be a huge fan when she was younger. But it always brings a smile to my face when I see you give these ponies a second chance!!
It's so great that you like these old girls! 😊 I think their design is great, they are so cuuuute!
@@RetroGeekCrafts I agree with you!! Two of my favorite ponies are Princess Serena and Sugarberry.
whenever you pet these toys' cheeks, it always makes me smile
Hehe I can't resist, they are so adorable 😊
That green and orange look on Lickety Split is wonderful! Reminds me of apples :)
Yes!! Green apples... And salmon :P
You could honestly tell me you fixed her ears with magic and I'd believe you!
Amazing restoration ! We can see much better the effect of the peroxide cream on this pony ! The ears looks really good ! It was a really close color, we can bearly see the difference on the camera ! I love your work !
Thank you so much! 😊😊 The peroxide helped so much. I constantly changed the cream although there are still some marks on the legs. But in my experience, those "highlighter" looking ones can take months to fade and I wanted to show this pony :)
I love it so much when you put these emoticons at the end of a sentence
It makes me feel so good ^^
Great job as always!!!!
Thank you so much!! I think the preference for typed emoticons reveals my age :P
With that color and ear injury, I’d say perfect zombie custom in the making! If only it wasn’t a rare pony haha😂 I’m always floored by how great your color matching skills are!!!
Zombie pony is always my plan B 😂 Thank you for your comment 😊
@@RetroGeekCrafts love that 😂😂. My pleasure! I guess you can tell I’ve been catching up on your videos bwahaha
hello again, comment section! on the previous video (the "ponymons" video) I asked for help identifying two MLP-style ponies I used to own: a peach-colored unicorn with a plant-themed cutie mark, and a purple earth pony with a ribbon or gift box cutie mark. I got a lot of helpful responses that eventually led me to conclude I probably had very good quality Fakies (most likely based on G1 ponies Sunset Sweety and Ribbon/Bow Tie respectively). someone on Discord suggested that the purple pony may have been a variant or factory error of Ribbon and/or Bow Tie, since Bow Tie has a lot of color variants and Ribbon's cutie mark seems to match what I remember, which sounds like a plausible theory to me.
unfortunately this is where my search ends, unless it somehow turns out I saved the ponies from being thrown out/donated (I can't remember their exact fate because it's been years but I think and hope they were donated) and they're still in my old stuff somewhere. but that's very unlikely so I'm not getting my hopes up.
thank you for your help, comment section!
I'm not sure if they mentioned this in the other thread, but if you need help with the fakies, there is a great FB group for them! They know SO MUCH! It's called My Little Phony.
I love the love and care you put into restoring your ponies. You’ve inspired me to start my own collection to make pretty again! Please don’t ever stop making videos of these lovely transformations ❤️
Thank you so much for your message Ellen 😊😊 I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos, I have several more in the making so there will be restorations for a while!
That's quite the transformation! I love the result! I think these old MLP toys are super cute so it makes me happy to watch you fix them :)
Thank you so much! :) :)
the ears look amazing !! i never thought they could be repaired so well
Thank you so much 🥰😊
I kinda discovered your videos ramdomly and your restaurations always impresses me! It's so pleasant seein' you giving a second life to these toys! Keep up the good work ♥
Thank you so much! 😊😊
I’ve been waiting for this one!! She has such an unexpecting pretty color scheme I love the hair color and the ears look great 💚
Thank you 😊 It took a little longer because of the UV treatment, I was trying to remove the marks on the front leg but they take so long to fade! I love the colours too, pistachio and salmon :P Thank you for watching! 😊😊
@@RetroGeekCrafts Pistachio and salmon? Sounds like someone's hungry. ;)
I recently bumped into your channel and I've been remembering the times I owned G3 ponies, so much nostalgia! I love your videos and the amount of care you put into these little ponies!! Love from Colombia 💕🥰
Thank you so much 😊😊 I hope you can find soem G3s again if you miss them! I've never been to Colombia (yet) but would love to, such a beautiful country!
From goth teen to adult super model. Great job on the repaint.
Hehehe nice, I like this 😊😊
Watching your videos, I realize I love these older ponies so much more than the newer ones!
Wow!! That's relaly nice 💖 I do too, but don't tell anyone :P
it's 3 am, I should be sleeping but instead I'm binge watching pony restoration videos....I have no idea why, I haven't thought of the ponies since I was a kid.
Thank you so much for watching the videos! But sleep is important too, take care!! 😊😊
I simply adore the old timey muisc in the background of your vids just works. Another amazing job on this, gave it new life
Thank you so much! I have been trying to use more relaxing music but I love these songs ☺️
Your videos are mesmerizing! I’ve never been a My Little Pony fan but the nostalgia is extremely catching. Thanks for doing what you do!!❤️
I found this channel 2 weeks ago, but managed to watch all the videos on your channel. I admire your work and skills. Your videos are soothing and relaxing, especially before bed at 3 am. Hello from Ukraine👋🌸
Wow, thank you so much!!! I'm really glad you found them relaxing 😊 All my best to Ukraine! (I tried to ad the flag but it's not working)
Such jaunty music today! Great repairs, she looks fabulous!
Haha thank you 😊 I think this type of music goes quite well with the ponies! There just aren't many royalty free ones in the YT library so I tend to repeat a lot :/
I’m both American and a millenial so i wouldnt have seen this pony as a child, but if i did she would have definitely been my favorite! I’ve always been a sucker for green & pink!!
I'm so glad you like her 😊😊 I love her colours, I think it's one of the prettiest combos!
We miss you Amity, I hope you're doing well! 😢 Fantastic job as always, I love this green and pink Lickity Split much more than the original. The colour match on the ears is blended out enough that it looks good
Thank you 😊
Amazing. I can’t believe you built her an ear.
Thank you so much!!😊😊
I love the style of jazz used to accompany this video.
I recently found your channel in my recommendations and I adore it! I'mma echo the sentiment of many others and say that they're very soothing and satisfying to watch. There's something very kind and sweet to give these poor beaten up toys new life. I think your most gorgeous work by far is your Dia De Muertos, but my personal favorite restorations are definitely this Lickety Split and Night Glider. I'll be honest, when I first saw poor Lickety Split my immediate reaction was repulsion xD The grime on her made the green look, for the lack of a better word, gross. She turned out so pretty though 💚
Wow, thank you so much!! 😊😊 Haha poor Lickety Split (but I absolutely understand the feeling! For me, at this point, the worst they look the more excited I get :P). Thanks again for your comment :)
Love how in the show she was purple and had light pink hair, but in her merchandise, she's depicted as green lol.
Never believe what you see on TV :P
Your videos are always very relaxing to me. Great job as always! It’s nice to see variants from other countries. That color combination is an interesting choice. Definitely unique!
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
OMGGGG THAT EAR TURNED OUT SO GOOD!!!
Hahaha thank you!!! 😊
Some people have already said this but: to dull down colours, apply a little bit of the complementary colour (ie the one opposite it on the colour wheel). Hope this helps!
That's a great tip! I think I will give this a second try soon 😊
This pony turned out great in my opinion, I really liked seeing you repair the ears, even if the color didn't out exactly right. Good job!
Thank you so much 🥰😊 It was my first ear repair so it was a little scary. I learned a lot about paints from the comments!
I discovered your channel about a week ago and Im so happy I did!
So much nostalgia - I had a HUGE MLP collection in my childhood. Im so bummed they were given away without my consent.
This channel makes me want to start collecting them again - and maybe even trying my hand at some restoration (I used to restore and custom paint barbie horses for a hobby - until a disaster struck that collection too and I lost them all 😔)
I really enjoy watching what you do - breathing life into these "old friends" again :) youre very patient and talented! And your channel has helped me go to bed for the past week with a smile. Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for your lovely message 🥰☺️ It's so great that you want to start collecting again and enjoy restorations. It's a great hobby, super satisfying. I'm sorry you lost your collections, I lost mine too and I'm rebuilding it slowly. I'd love to see your new ponies when you have them! 😊😊
i love when you shake the ponies heads... so cute
Hehe thank you so much!! 😊😊
This one seems to be the toughest one, yet.
I’m on a restoration video binge, can’t wait to see what happens
It was one of my first times using milliput and it made me quite nervous! Actually, I'm exporting a somewhat similar video right now, internet here is really slow so it might take some time to upload... but it's coming very soon! It's a custom with some more milliput "additions" :)
Another job well done my friend, seeing you repair these toys brings my heart peace of mind.
Thank you so much for your message 🥰
Omg the hair is so ✨gorgeous✨ also i have two questions....
1) Is there anyone else or its just you who's restorating on this channel?
2) Is this your job or just a hobby?
Thank you! :) It's just plain old me, everywhere :D And it's a hobby, although I wouldn't mind doing more of it, as I really enjoy doing both the restorations and the video editing!
Absolutely beautiful job! Great idea to use pins as a shaper for the ear :)
Thank you so much! 😊
So cool to watch this! You did a great job 👏🦄
Thank you 🤗
I don't know much about the Gen 1 ponies, but the colors this girl has are amazing.
And a way to dull the green would be add pink or red to the green. It would probably give her green that duller shade.
Thank you!! I will repaint again and see if I can get it closer 😊
Como siempre, adorable trabajo! Verde y salmon! Un logro. La musica me encantó. Congratulaciones!
Muchas gracias 😊😊😊
She looks beautiful 😍 great job!!!
Thank you!! 😊
Beautiful job! I can't help but see Ms Piggy's face and Kermit's color...
Hahaha yes!! I love the combo xD
So cute!! Great job!
Thank you! 😊
I was thinking the same thing. Green Lickety Split, 😯 she must be rare. I had no idea the ponies where different in different countries. I thought they all were universal. That's a lot of ponies!❤
Yes, Argentinian ponies have the funniest most unexpected colours 😊😊
That's a very pretty and unusually colored Lickety-split. I'm enjoying the music, it reminds me a bit of The Peanuts, and old silent films. Nice "plastic surgery" on the ear.
Thank you 😊 I'm really glad you liked the music, it's very cheerful :D
The ear sculpt was great! I think if you have a problem with the color again, try adding a light Grey. In the first coat it was too vibrant, not too dark. To fix it the idea would be to lower the saturation, I hope this helps (and I really hope you don't think this is mean :') )
I also saw someone say red! That's a great idea too
Of course it doesn't offend me or anything like that!! I am AWFUL with colours, I really had no idea what to do when it kept looking mismatched! It was really.... scary, in a way xD Now I know. I appreciate all feedback, good and not so good. I always want to learn 😊😊
Hooray! More videos from you!
QUICK EDIT: Also! I just wanted to tell you that your videos have inspired me to make videos on some of my childhood toys and figurines! (Including MLP)
wow, that's awesome! It makes me so happy to read you will be making videos! Can't wait to see them :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts Absolutely! and that's such an honor to hear from an inspiration like you
You did just fine on the color! Thats a hard green to match. 😁😁😁😁
Thank you, I learned a lot from the comments, let's see how the next one goes ☺️
The ears definitely look more like a spring green than the more olive green body, but it still looks really good
Thank you 😊 I plan on repainting it with the suggestions from the comments!
I LOVE this pony so much! Her color scheme is great. It’s that “ugly” color palette that looks straight out of the 70s! 😍
Hahaha yes, this one is pretty original! The Argentinian ponies (well, their creators from Top Toys) never followed the rules :P
@@RetroGeekCrafts I looked online but couldn’t find this one. I’d love to have one. Maybe someday I’ll find her.
@@sexyjellyfish82 She will be very difficult to find - and pricey. But you can ask in the FB groups, search for "Nirvana MLP" (Nirvana means made abroad)
@@RetroGeekCrafts I didn’t know that. Thank you so much!
So cool! I have an off brand orange MLP that needs a new tail and I'd like to give her a new one. It will be in white or neon orange.
Nice! I vote for neon orange :D
You do a good job with your ponies an excellent and amazing job!!!
You are very kind, thank you 😊😊
You already used this technique. Its fascinating 😍
Thank you 😊😊
bro I'm addicted to your restoration videos,I think it's amazing what you do🐩
I have got a retro pony too, she is purple with red hair and a white stripe, she was my mom's I don't know what she would look like if she was like new
Sis?* I'm glad you are :D I think you might have a Caramel Crunch!
Aahh she turned out wonderful!!
Thank you 😊😊
You did such a good job!
Thank you 😊😊
It's so weird to see a green lickity split. I am used to her being a pinky purple color. You did a great job considering the condition this poor pony was in.
Yes! I was very surprised when I first saw her. Thank you so much 😊😊
The hair is such a pretty colour!
It's very different, isn't it? Like a salmon colour!
I think you should've added a contrasting color to the green to make it less vibrant, since the original green looks a little dull. This was a great restoration!
Thanks for the tip! I definitely want to keep working on the color until I get the match 😊
Wow no puedo creer que le hallas arreglado la oreja te quedó preciosa 😊🌈💗🌈
Muchísimas gracias!! El color quedó maso, pero estoy aprendiendo 😊
Wauw she turned out incredible
Thank you so much 😊😊
Perfect Music for this restoration!
Thank you! 😊
im so happy how good she looks now. never seen a green lickety spilt . ❤️
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed this "pistachio" variant restoration 😊😊
beautiful job! fantastic job on the ears. a lil epoxy sculpt goes a long way! I hope to do ooak an pony customs etc in the future. atm i have limited space. keep up the fantastic work an love all ya pony other toy repair video's take care 😊💙
Thank you so much 😊😊 I hope you do lots of customs!
@@RetroGeekCrafts ya welcome. how come ya not heartin ❤my comments anymore?
@@blackroseknight77 Sorry!! I stopped hearting practically all comments because one of the videos became quite popular and suddenly there were so many messages! But here you go :) :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts Thanks :)
Nice color matching. 👌
Thank you 🙂😀
this channel is so cool!! im by no means an "older" mlp fan (in fact i was right in the target demographic for G4 lmao) but i did own some donated G1 ponies and im pretty sure i still have them. Anyway i love how you bring back to life all of these beautiful ponies!! Just wanted to leave a nice comment bc i love your work so much 💕💕
pd: also does anyone know how are those blue sculpting tools specifically called?
Thank you so much for your message! 😊😊 I'm really glad you enjoy the restorations - and both G1s and G4! (I hope to add more G4 projects soon). The tool are "silicone sculpting tools", just generic ones. Hope it helps!
sí uh acabo de leer la descripción lmao igual gracias por responder 💕💕 ni me había dado cuenta de q también hablabas español
so pretty!
Thank you 😊😊
I know you didn’t quite match the original color for the ears, but you could’ve gotten away with it by painting the muzzle and the hooves, to bring the color to multiple places and tie it all together. Still a beautiful job, she looks so much better with that new hair and cleaner plastic!!
Thank you :) The camera doesn't show the difference in texture, you can really tel if the plastic has been painted over, so that's why I didn't want to "extend" the paint job. I still plan on going back to it and keep trying to improve it :)
Hopefully you see this!
The colour issue with the ears was because the colour was too saturated.
If you added black, you wouldn't just darken the colour a little, you'd remove a little brightness.
If you're interested in trying it, mix up some light grey to mix into your green and try that! It will mute the green and bring down the saturation.
When colour matching, imagine black not as a way to make darker shades but a way to "add grey" and white isn't just lighter but "becoming pastel" these aren't colours, they're shades, so adding them removes some pigment density.
Hope this helps 🙏
Thank you so much for your message and tips! ☺️☺️ I'm still learning about colour mixing, for some reason my brain still struggles with it! But I'm practising and I am slowly feeling a little more confident :)
Love your work! I’m dabbling in restoration as well so I have a question for you- how do you seal your paint jobs/retouches? So that the acrylic doesn’t rub off and so that it’s waterproof? I’ve been told to use Mr. Super Clear.
Thank you so much! I seal the work with matte spray, Testor’s DullCote. I think you can use any type of sealant on acrylics, but the one I know works for sure is that one! I remember reading about Mr. Super Clear and I think it's a good one too!
to restored ponies go down in value much? I think its so nice to see them close to original, and I appreciate your videos. I have been binging lately
I depends on the damage. If the pony is in decent condition, most collectors prefer to have the original hair and no retouches. In this case, where the pony has a low value because it looks so poorly, the restoration would increase the value. Not that much, though, maybe double the price? I never sold one so I'm not sure 😊
@@RetroGeekCrafts thank you so much!!
you gotta show us your collection sometime girl!!
I have a relatively small collection! I only keep the ponies I restore and a few I always wanted. It's a baby colelction compared to the others I've seen! but I will show you soon 😊
Amazing!
Thank you 😊😊
i love your channel soooo much🥺💖
Thank you so much 💖💖 (no sad faces lol)
I have no idea how I got your channel recommended. But well, here I am, subscribed after watching 5 vids in the row
I'm glad you liked the videos! Welcome to the pony family ☺️☺️
Yay! Lickety Split’s one of my favs
What do you think of this colour combo? I love the HK pink version, because the pose is so pretty! But I have to say, I appreciate the pistachio+salmon interpretation :P
@@RetroGeekCrafts I’m not really a fan of the green on this one, to me it doesn’t fit her but to each their own. It’s definitely a unique color combination though
@@alysonk5853It seems Top Toys skipped over the "only use pastel tones" in the manual :P My childhood pony was Masquerade, it's fuchsia with rainbow hair :D
Your restoration work is amazing. I have a question about one of the steps. After masking the eyes and markings with tempera paint, how do you remove it?
Thank you so much!! :) You can remove the tempera paint with just water. I used a cotton bud because some of of it had gotten into the little cracks and cuts but normally warm water and rubbing with your finger gets rid of it very easily.
Don't feel too bad about not getting the color 100% right. That shade of green is a very specific and strange color. I don't think I would've got a direct match either. The color you chose however seems to be close enough to me. You don't even really notice unless you're looking for a while
Thank you so much for your message, that's very kind of you 😊😊 I'm working on another pony that needs matching and.. its scary! But the only way to learn is by doing!
Did you know that you can use water with MilliPut? It helps a lot to smooth the texture and it helps with transitional areas.
Yes! I did use it, I just pr4efer to do a little more and then use sandpaper because I'm not too familiar with it yet and I don't think I could make it look as smooth :) But thank you for the tip!!
Gosh poor lickty splits looks like the cat chewed her ear off one of my little ponies I had one of the cats chewed on her ear sadly my parents got rid of all my my little ponies which is why I be so glad to be in my own home so I can start collecting them again. Great job on lickty splits awesome job
Yes! Poor pony, I wonder where the rest of the ear ended up :P Thank you for your message 😊
@@RetroGeekCrafts your very welcome I just love watching you restore my little ponies back to there old former glory I got very excited last night when I saw you had uploaded a new video I did
Wow! I love ponies
😊❤️
I am really nervous in approaching the re-rooting step.... Did/do you have trouble with needles breaking? A lot of the Amazon reviews speak on this. I bought a tool and needles for $9.99. I hope it works for me! Maybe it is my imagination, but the plastic of the baby ponies seems harder. Do you recommend heating the plastic first (I'm afraid to do that too!). Thank you so much! I love these videos.
Encontré tu canal hace poco, me volví adicta a ver tus restauraciones y me encanta ver todo el amor que le das a estos ponys dañados 💜
Tengo una pregunta, tengo un pony G2 Light Heart que perdió la cola, este ony no se le puede colocar otra tan sencillamente por que la cola era la palanca para mover la cabeza, algún consejo???
Saludos y abrazos desde México 💜🦄
Muchas gracias!! 😊 La verdad, nunca intenté aún reparar G3s. Te recomendaría que preguntes en los grupos de MLP en FB. Perdón :(
WOW! Great job 👏👏👏👏💕😍💖🦄⭐
Thank you 🤗💖💖💖
I never realized how much went into restoration 🤔😋
Most restorations are easier, just clean and sometimes add a bit of hair. This poor pony had a combo of ailments!
I think adding a little bit of gray paint to the green would make it more close to the original color of the pony. The original color of the pony is kinda grayish green.
That might work! Thank you 😊
Tiny bit of water on miliput when sculpting makes smoothing easier.
Thank you! I didn't know it when I made this video, but I'll definitely use water for the next repair :)
How many ponies have you restored already? Amazing work! You need to make some stamp as Hasbro on the hooves
I restored the ones on the videos and maybe... 10 more that weren't in that bad condition. I love th eidea of my oen stamp for the customs!!! Thank you 😊😊
good job
Thanks 😊😊
What tool you use to put new hair in the head part? I would like to fix my kids toys too here in Finland! :D
That is really some crazy stuff, you can’t see the difference! I love the hair color by the way ;-D
Thank you 🥰☺️ I love that colour too, you never see it in toys!
Your restorations have inspired me to touch up some g1 baby ponies I found at a local antique shop! What tools do you use to remove the metal tail clamp? I can't quite get one off and I'm stuck.
That's so awesome!! The tail clamp is THE WORST, that's always my least favourite part of the restoration. I use cutting pliers - one with sharp "teeth" and the other blunt so I can pull the sides apart.
