  • Ooof, this video was a long time in the making! It's a custom MLP G4 to G5 Pipp Petals (the fourth in the G5 series I've done). A few important considerations: 1) This video has no pasted subtitles. You will need to turn them on manually (I'm working on fixing the automatic generation now, so you might see some errors still). 2) The music suddenly jumps at 14:18. Because this is the longest video I've done so far, and it sort of represents the "closing of an era", I decided not to re-export the whole thing and instead have it ready now. I hope you still enjoy it! Pleas forgive my enthusiasm in publishing it perhaps a bit too fast.

    Please don't sell yourself short! Your voice is so nice! You always sound excited and enthusiastic when you talk about things and that's why everyone wanted you to talk more!
    Do what you love and we'll keep following because you have a lot motivation and passion and that is infectious.

    • @RetroGeekCrafts

    I love that you show your experiments and how you learn as you go. Repairing other toy lines sounds great. And while I can't currently afford to buy any ponies, I think offering ones you want to sell is great idea. You make such beautiful ones

  • @SkieLoon
    @SkieLoon ปีที่แล้ว +39

    Honestly one of my favorite things about your videos is your voice! Your voice and accent are so pretty and relaxing to listen to

  • @kaytiej8311
    @kaytiej8311 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    The hands that create, the voice that instructs, are beautiful and worthy of dignity. I find your style very calming and the relaxed familiarity is very comforting. Be you. That is more than enough.

    • @RetroGeekCrafts

      Wow. Thank you so much. This is so nice :) :)

  • @elinarirhodan3760

    Ooh heck yes, I'd love to see a restoration process for Polly Pockets! I had a few when I was little, so they are a retro/nostalgia thing for me :) Honestly, I find the processes of both customisation AND restoration really fascinating, and I love how you present your projects.
    And YES! I'd be super interested in chilling out watching a nice relaxing game being played, I do that to wind down after work quite a lot. (I also work in the video games industry and studied it at university, so your stories and thoughts about games would be hugely interesting to me too!)

    As others have said, your voice is genuinely really nice! I suffer from misophonia and being able to hear a voice that doesn’t trigger it is always so nice, it perfectly balances out the noises in the background which is so needed for me.
    Love your art as always, can’t wait to see more

    • @bashfulwolfo6499
      @bashfulwolfo6499 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Polly Pocket would be interesting to see, I would love to see all the other toys you want repair/custom.
      I do have some yellowed toys, one being a Mew from Pokémon, and one from a Stormtrooper we randomly found out by the creek. I would love to be able to repair them both one day

    • @Knantsponies

      I have misophonia too, and I absolutely agree!! These videos relax me in a way I am not used too. 🥹💞

    • @RetroGeekCrafts
      @RetroGeekCrafts  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you so much for your message. I also suffer frm pretty severe misophonia, it's so difficult some times :( I can't tell you how happy it makes me to know my voice doesn't trigger yours. Thank you!!!!

    I’m happy to see you again! Personally, I would LOVE “documentary” style videos. I love hearing about regional variants of ponies, changes in molds and plastics, and other history tidbits. Not just about ponies either, about all kinds of toy lines!
    I also wanna say that I bought a gorgeous G1 bride pony and while restoring her (cleaning the rust from her tail, cleaning off scuff marks), I chose to leave a blue stain that wouldn’t come out any further. I remembered what you said about their “past lives” and the flaws telling a story about how loved ponies have been. So she kept her little blue “birthmark” instead of having it painted over 🩵

    Yes to the polly pocket!!!!!🎉 Also, you can repaint a modern polly pocket. There are a lot of moulded but unpainted details. Some people have already done it. It's pretty!

  • @Airsaber
    @Airsaber ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I mean, there are many ways to be awesome. Personally, I love your videos - they are informative, calming to the point of being ASMRish, and overall you just seem to be a nice person with whom it's nice to spend some time. :) Your struggles (mental health, impostor syndrome, etc) are very relatable to me, too. And customs don't have to be complicated and flashy to be great! Plus it's always lovely to see restorations of old toys. And I appreciate your subtitles a lot!
    Edit: C'mon, there's nothing wrong with your hands!! This silver nail polish looks great, too - so bright!

  • @btloov
    @btloov ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I really love how it can be heard from your voice, how excited you are! Gets me in a good mood listening to it haha.
    I started seriously restorating / customizing ponies this year, and I have learned so much from your videos! Used same tecniques and some products as you! Your videos have been a big help! If I may say one wish, I would really love if you'd work on a G2 MLP pony again. As a restoration or a custom, doesn't matter!
    Anyway glad to see you post more often!

    Tip for making doll hair: if you want to make plastic doll hair, you can use Nylon string and brush it out (I usually get white or off-white so I can dye it exactly how I like). Nylon Mason Line is the same as the smaller craft stuff but you can buy it thicker and it is usually not as tightly wound which makes it easier to brush out. It is very soft but also heat resistant so keep that in mind when styling and dyeing.

    Having been here since (almost) Day 1, I am excited to see what you do with your channel and watch it grow! You are talented, your personality is bubbly and kind, and we can all tell how much you enjoy working on these ponies. It draws people in. You deserve all the success!

    I found this channel originally because of my love for G1 Ponies and restoration but I've watched and enjoyed every single video you've put out since. Your videos are genuinely very entertaining and also very calming so I look forward to anything you have planned for the future 👍🏻

    I find your thing about games and PTSD and all that to be a very interesting topic. I was actually playing a FPS game when I found out that my Grandpa has cancer. Needless to say, that day my FPS was my best friend! I had more kills that day than any other day that I'd played, and I actually played very well that day. Using games as an outlet for difficult emotions can be sooooo useful! It really helped me to process the initial shock, and keep my mind distracted a little while I processed it, so it was a little less overwhelming than it would have been otherwise. I'm looking forward to your game-related videos!

  • @Knantsponies
    @Knantsponies ปีที่แล้ว +4

    So happy to see you have made Pipp! She looks lovely.
    In regards to what you said in the video, I love listening to you talk, no matter what it’s about ☺️ also, I wouldn’t worry about your nails being chipped, it’s just a normal thing that happens.
    I am excited for the changes to possibly come to your channel in the future. 💜
    (Btw, I absolutely adore piggy ponies, I would be ecstatic to see you repair one!)
    Sorry for rambling hehe 🙈💞

  • @jenlundgren177
    @jenlundgren177 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yisela, No apologies girl!! You are real and relatable, that’s what people love, the openness and honesty and the recognition that we are all perfectly imperfect!! You are lovely to listen to and have interesting things to say!! Your creations are beautiful! My only suggestion would be to also include all of the things which didn’t/don’t work, for two reasons. Mainly so we can all learn what is less likely to be successful, and also because knowing that someone with your talent doesn’t always have it figured out from start to finish makes the whole process less intimidating!!
    You are a shining light, don’t ever sell yourself short!!
    (the auto subtitles work just fine, no worries there!! and I vote Yes to selling what you have created; they will be even more special with the creation videos ;)

  • @VixOfAllTrades

    I love listening to your voice while watching these videos, so don’t feel self conscience about it. It’s always a delight to hear your thought process as you restore/customize the toys.

  • @juliemesser2053
    @juliemesser2053 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just a tip: Next time,try using an Exacto Knife and cutting a hole in the neck where the neck peg used to be. Then go buy a Neck Peg,or use it off of the other Ponys'. For the wings,I can't help,but to see that G4 and G5 are different,you used fabric for it.(I'm not mad,or have any ill will towards you). Try sculpting off of the G4's Pony's wings with clay(no matter what type of clay as long as it drys quickly and hardens). Sculpt the crown instead of plastic. For the tail try your pliers (along with cutting the neck hole). To grab the stubs of hair that gets trapped in there. So in the future you won't have as much help from your boyfriend John. I hope this helps!😊

    If playing relaxing games is what you want to do, I highly recommend Animal Crossing, the latest in the series especially. You get to build your own island, talk with your fellow animal Islanders, go fishing, bug collecting and fossil digging, and genuinely have a mellow, relaxing time! You even get to customize your own house!

    Your first attempt at gold leaf looks exactly like my first attempt! So frustrating when you're attempting to get a nice smooth application and the leaf wrinkles.
    I live for subtitles, whether pasted or auto. I have some auditory processing malfunctions and reading really helps. Auto isn't perfect but I still understand what you are meaning. If using the auto captions frees up some precious time for you, go for it!
    The idea of making little DIY repair kits with a bait pony and rehairing tool is very appealing to me. Having a little kit with a pony, rehairing tool, a small bundle of hair, perhaps a selection of little stickers or water-slide decals for those of us who aren't very talented at painting cutie marks, a couple paintbrushes and a set of simple instructions or tips ( with links to your videos for visual instructions) I think would be a good seller and great introduction into toy restoration and customization. Having to source all the items necessary to DIY a pony is probably the only thing really holding me back. That and the cost of ordering all those bits individually. But if some of those tools and the pony itself is bundled in a kit for a fair price, it gives people a chance to see if they even enjoy customizing a pony without having to invest a serious amount of time and money into the experimental project.

    I've never seen this channel before it was suggested to me today (this is my like, fifth video. Poly Pocket was first, then the sea ponies, the sparkler sisters....), and I had every intent to let this run in the background while I played a video game. HOWEVER, your energy and sweet, enthusiastic commentary kept bringing me back! I love your work here!
    I also really love that you give warnings for trypophobia and taking the heads off the ponies. It's a tiny thing, but I can't get over how lovely that is.
    Give Bruno a little kiss from your newest subscriber!

  • @aprilvaiarella435
    @aprilvaiarella435 ปีที่แล้ว

    That is a clever way to remove the tail plug. Usually I just push it into the body cavity, doomed to rattle around inside for all eternity since I hate cutting out and gluing back in the neck peg. I'll have to try doing it this way if I ever customize another one. Still won't help with the Cadence and Luna ponies though. The tail plug is literally glued in and crushed under the wings plug in. To remove it you have to not only cut off the wings, but also gouge out the entire back of the pony. Last time I used that body type I ended up just drilling into the tail hole after scrapping out as much hair as I could and then jamming the new tail in with a screwdriver.
    Anyway, Pip looks adorable. I love you restorations, but your customs are always really charming and it's a lot of fun to listen to you talk about the process.

    I can't WAIT for Polly Pockets! I also love the idea of having gaming segments that are kinda "asmr-ish"? Like maybe it's mostly quiet gameplay with a segment where you talk about how you found out about the game and how/if it's special to you? Idk I just also love relaxing games and I have disabilities that mean sometimes all I can do is watch others play? I can't wait to see ANY gaming content you might want to share but the idea of "quiet time" sessions every once in a while just sounds so cozy

    i think i can count the number of times i've commented on a video on one hand, but i felt moved to here. i've been binge-watching your videos while doing my nails and cross stitch, and you're such a delight. you feel like one of my friends, making the ponies do a little dance, rambling about ancient Egypt. the only thing that makes me sad is how often you joke about muting you! i would never do that! you are too funny and your voice is a pleasure to listen to. G1s are also my fave so yours is a particularly good channel for me. it inspires me to get out my bin of childhood ponies and fix them up a bit!! thanks for being so enthusiastic and delightful to watch, and please take care of yourself first!

    2:20 a little tip for this, if you're trying to scrape off the glue or pluck out the hair, i suggest dipping the head in hot water! It help the head get a but softer and easy to pluck the hair off

    I really like your voiceovers! I was glad when you started doing them and am always happy to hear your commentary and your thoughts. You have interesting things to say! And I think the auto-generated subtitles work well.
    I've been following your channel a while and was really happy to see you posting videos again. I'm looking forward to seeing you try out new video ideas in the future! Different toy-lines and documentaries about toys sound cool!
    Also, as someone who likes gardening and nail polish, I totally feel your pain about the soil and chipping lol. Your nails looked great in this though! I really liked that purple polish.
    Thanks for all the time and effort you put into making these videos! They really brighten my day :)

    Don't feel like you owe us your attention. We're all here because we enjoy your art and your lovely personality. Don't feel bad if you can't do things like keep up on Discord or be super active all the time. You still have your own life and we all understand : 3

    I love listening to you talk. It makes me smile and chuckle to hear your adorable quirkiness. Also, you talk like we're out having a cup of coffee. It's very real and I love it. :-) And yes! Please sell your pony restorations or new creations. I think a lot of fans would be interested in that. P.S. You're kitty is adorable!

    The pony came out so cute! I love the colours you chose and the gold hooves make her look so fancy :D
    I can't wait to see what other stuff you do, the Polly Pockets and She-Ra restorations in particular sound really interesting!

    Selling ponies for equipment costs is a good idea. I also watch a furniture restorer who has an amazon wishlist for his channel, so viewers can buy him supplies :)

    I got on some new ADHD meds and things were great for a month! Last month apparently the pills were actually not working because the house got hotter than the temperature they're supposed to be stored at. When I got my refill and they started working again a few days ago, it was INCREDIBLE. Immediate change. All this to say that I very much relate to you talking about a different person doing the second half of the project. Edit - I also appreciate the automatic subtitles being corrected so I can read along with what you're saying! Edit 2 - Learning by doing doesn't need justification - Yeah, you can look it up how to do it right. But if you're like me, your brain might just not let you do something as boring as reading up on anything. So it's either go in without a plan or not go in at all. Much better to make a few mistakes, especially because that way of learning tends to stick a little better than book learning :)

    • @Donteatacowman

      I keep having more comments the more you talk! I would love to see that kind of content. I love a lot of mobile games but I'm not a "gamer" because that's just not how people use the term. I have some nice mindless number or letter games (all of which i recommend with no wifi/data on so you have no constant ads). I also played probably hundreds of hours of solitaire (on computer and in person) while staying with m y mom in the hospital. We got some very bad news, and when I wasn't with her, I was playing Stardew Valley any time I was awake and not at work. (She is currently okay.)

    I really appreciated how much you spoke in this one. On the rare occasion I have time to sit while I craft, I like to have a craft video on. Kind of like we're doing crafts together. ❤ I think you would be great at doing other series as well, and I look forward to seeing more videos with you!

      It’s a special gold leaf glue you need to get called size. Yeah like the size of shoes ha ha… you can get a sealant as well that way it’s protected from scratches etc

    I love all your work, your videos are so relaxing and I adore seeing your process! I think it would be great to see you diversifying into other toys and if you do history videos of older toys I will so be here for that! Also, your kitty is so cute! As is your interaction with your helpful boyfriend lol^^

    I'm old and grew up on the first generation of ponies. I had several and gave them away to a little girl who loved them. She was into the gen 3 of ponies but I gave her my vintage ones from gen 1. I really like the cartoony style of gen 4 & 5 but not the toys. I feel like gen1 was more proportionally accurate and the newer gens are bobble heads. While cute they just aren't my preference. I love the retro toys and watching your channel i find tips on how to restore them when i find them.

  • @geovanna-cj3kh
    @geovanna-cj3kh ปีที่แล้ว

    i don't know what's harder for you, but i personally prefer when you put subtitles on TH-cam rather than the video because i can choose if i want to see it or not. but whatever works better for you, i appreciate it a lot that you care enough about subtitles. i used to watch all English videos subtitles because it was easier for me to understand if i was reading, but thankfully my English is better now and I don't need subtitles anymore but i always got happy to see them before. ofc it's also very important for deaf people and some neurodivergents so THANK YOU SO MUCH

    however you choose to make your content, we will like it! i think fans of vintage MLP are also interested in other vintage toy lines. it’s very interesting to learn about that kind of thing, i would be interested in documentaries as well! i am excited for upcoming projects and videos!! you have my support with what you choose to do! pipp turned out amazing, great work!!

  • @pyrocainam

    I absolutely adore your videos! Your voice is very calming and nice to listen to. I also really appreciate the subtitles, as my audio processing can be a bit slow at times. It keeps me from having to rewind the video 12 times to make sure I heard what was said!
    Also, if you decide to keep the subtitles, I'd love to help in any way I can- even if it's just checking over the automatic subtitles to make sure they're correct!
