- Hi all! Today I'm bringing you another vintage My Little Pony restoration, and it's another Argentinian variant of Flutterbye -- in this case Vairant V, "the green one". Not as challenging as other ones I've done, but still a lot of fun to work on and a pretty result. Plus, you can see our new kitty Tomy (go to 14:23) and a new rerooting tool I'm trying.

"Hummelchen" is actually small bumblebee like the cute version of it. Love your videos
Paseo is such a pleasant name to say!!
And yes, best not to leave acetone on ponies lol. Acetone soaks are a method of shrinking vinyl doll heads actually!
one of my favorite thing about a lot of the variant ponies was how far between the eyes they brought the hair, remind me of real ponies with lots of hair and it hangs on their face. These look like that to me.
So weird seing a green & wingless Flutterbye! I grew up with the european pinkeish orange with wings & rainbow mane & tail Flutterbye. She is one of my favorites in my collection from my childhood.
I love learning about the wild world of Argentinian ponies it’s so fun 😂❤
Awww, kitty! Maybe Bruno will get used to him in time. ✨🐾✨
“I’m having one of those days where I find everything hilarious.” That’s a great way to live! 😂
I have to thank you so much for these videos. I’ve begun to patch up an old pony from the flea market following your example, and it’s going amazing! It’s so extremely exciting. Thank you. 🥰✨✨
Flutterbye looks beautiful again, see you next time.
theres something so comforting about toy restorations, it's just nice to see these ponies get some love
It's really sweet to watch an old pony be restored with love like this 💕
Great work as usual 😍
You're right about the Bumblebee, for me the Symbole looks more like Butterflies.
Like someone commented earlier hummelchen is a tiny Bumblebee but funfact:
Hümmelchen with the ü can also be a musicinstrument a sackpipe and in some parts in Germany it's a little knife (it's a really old word for that)
German is such a weird language sometimes 😅
My cat also likes to jump up on my desk and if he sees coffee he will "sweep" his paws around the table (knocking things over) (I think he doesn't like the smell).
I was actually just down the rabbithole on the MLP wiki and checked your channel to see if you'd restored any of the Lil' Litters / My Little Kitty/Puppy/Bunny toys and then saw you posted! Nice :) Pretty Paseo, I love the variant ponies.
Awww welcome to the family Tomy, he's so cute! The pony too, blue hair suits her :)
I love your pony restoration videos! Seeing the pony after the reroot is so satisfying. I think my favorite synthetic hair is nylon, I like how it feels and it’s easy to style.
Hi Tomy! Pretty boy! My own boy came to say hi as soon as he saw Tomy
Thank you for mentioning shorting the needle, I will Have to try that trick!
i think its wonderful that no matter what you do or where you live, your cat will walk all over what youre doing
omg! i was just thinking about you and you upload :D!! how sweet
YAY MORE G1!
🦋Pretty like butterfly, cute like a little bumblebee🐝
Your work has such finesse. I never cease to be fascinated by the level of tiny details you manage to beautifully accomplish.
Hahaha I loved that little Labyrinth reference! She does look like the worm!
Love Tomy. So cute.
🥹 cute Tomy and cute pony!!
Hello! I am your fan since you started your channel and I just wanted to say I love your work!
You're so talented! Watching your videos helped me to take better care of my ponies. When I was a little kid I believed that every toy was concious and alive, now I realize that this is probally not true but I like to imagine that the ponies are happy for being restored (or customized) especially by someone as talented as you! Sorry if my english had many mistakes, I'm Brazilian and I'm not fluent :p
I would like to see you try using baking soda. You just need to put like a spoon of baking soda, then add some boiling water (you just need a little bit) and try to make something like a paste. I don't how it would perform on ponies, but for dolls it amazing. I always use it. It makes them feel like brand new and removes all the dirt. If you want I can send you some pictures on Instagram.
This was unique to me, in that the cutie mark was not just an exact mirror image on both flanks!!!
Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
One would call a bumble bee "die Hummel" in german, "Hummelchen" is the cutsy version one would use in children stories to make it sound extra sweet, like a nickname for the "Hummel", and "das Hümmelchen" is a kind of a small bagpiepe. To be honest, even as a german myself I never heard the word "Hümmelchen" and had to look it up, and stumbled over the sentence you read. The word refers to the type of bagpipe, not the word trim, wich was used to describe its size. One could translate the word trim to all kinds of german words wich have nothing to do wich each other, but in this case it was used to describe the smaller then usual size of the "Hümmelchen". But why they called the pony "Hummelchen", even though the symbols are clearly butterflys, wich would mean "Schmetterling" in german, remains a mystery 😄🐝🦋
Hümmelchen is the cutesy version of bumble bee, good job!
Every time u post I feel like I just got a new pony:)
You work is amazing. Best wishes for you and your channel. You going to have millions of followers that appreciate you work. 😊
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS❤❤
Ha, I had her in the 80s. Please do the large yellow seahorse with the pink hair. I think the suction cup shell was also yellow. Was my favourite bath toy. Simpler times 😂
Always a treat to see a classic pony restoration. Keep up the good work
i didnt take the time to slow down in a lil while. Thank you for making it so easy to relax
I love the color combinations
Beautiful! I would love to see some super curly mane and tails 😮
Wow, what a pretty lady! And you did an excellent job. Also, hi Tomy!
Ahh, another excellent pony video to keep me company on a crummy health day. Thank you!! Your little Walking Bumble Bee Moth (LOL) turned out lovely. And hello, Tomy!
You sound so happy! Lovely!! Happy to be a new Patron!
I love watching your videos, so calming watching you wash and paint!
I was wondering if you have any tips for simply washing ponies (or just point me to a video!)? I have a ton of ponies that have been lovingly played and are fairly dirty, and some of them could use a hair wash and restyle as well. I want to ensure it's pony-safe, but I don't want to take the pony apart (remove the head), so basically just surface level cleaning (maybe slightly more intensive methods for stains).
the 'Ello reference omggg so cute
Another great video!❤ Yes, shortening the needle really helps, especially if it's a G3, etc😊
I enjoy watching your restoration videos.
I love your videos Yisela! Thank you for taking the time and energy to post more tips and tricks. I’ve learned a lot from you ❤
Your ponies are fabulous!!
Great work as always, and Tomy was absolutely adorable!
Commenting for engagement! RGC deserves more views and subscribers! :)
I loove your videos! they are so sweet and relaxing 💙 Thank you for the repairs and take your time!!!
Very glad to see a new upload from you. It’s been a while!
Loved the cat intermission. I would be positive if it happens again in the future.
Pony restorations just never disappoint me.
I think I would like some more OOAK custom pony projects.
And if at all possible and relevant, it would be fun to see a Pegasus my little pony be made into a “pigasus” flying pig.
Or a pony made into a goat!
Love your videos!
Just love watching your videos this one was just beautiful and loved seeing the new kitty so cute ,and I have the same problem when restoring ponies there is always a cat in the way .x😂
Looks lovely!
Another amazing restoration ❤❤❤
Me encantan tus videos, dejas a los ponys súper bonitos de nuevo 🥺❤❤❤
Thank you for this video! 🙂🌹🌹🌹
Argentinian!!! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 i remeber all thoses variants from when i was a kid… so nostalgic
Tomy's a cutie.
When Paseo met Tomy this is what I was thinking.
Paseo: My name's Paseo, what's your's?
Tomy: -sniffs Paseo's "cutie mark"- It's Tomy. I need to go now though.
I can't say this with any certainty, but I'd imagine that Paseo means the pose. She is trotting along, so stroll makes perfect sense to be the name of the pose. Or perhaps they took the name from the pose, or because the light green color plus butterflies reminds one of a stroll through a spring garden.
I'm just guessing with no facts to back this up, though. It's interesting how the other languages all use the shape of the rump stamp to name the pony, but Argentina went, "Naaaah...this is OUR version and we'll color and name it what we like!" 😂
As a nail tech, acetone goes straight through nitrile gloves, so use latex if you are not allergic.
Have you thought of using a nail drill for sanding/shaping when you rebuilt or repair parts of the ponies?
Looks amazing, Jisela! (I think that’s your name? Sorry if not!) You always do such amazing work with your restorations. I hope I can do the same with my G2 Princess Silver Swirl one day!
Yes "Hummelchen" is the german word for "Bumble Bee" , but the cuter version.
"Hummel" is the normal version, everything with: "Chen" in the ending is a cute version but dont work for everything.
Greetings from Germany :)
13:14 Ello :p !!
I wish I could send you one of my ponies so you could fix it lol
I am not a native of Spanish or English, but I imagine a bit how "flutterby" can be translated to walking by which can become paseo (which could also mean walk by potentially?)
heyy:33
hi girl! I want to do my own customs, so i was wondering, where do you buy the hair? I cant find any quality ones anywhere 🥲 also, I love your work, I´ve been watching your videos for a long time now :)
I wonder if Walk came from a loss in translation? Like "to flutter by" instead about the bug. 😅
Hello!!, first I wanted to tell you that I love your content and you have encouraged me to try and restore my all of my old toy!! not just the ponies!! and the second thing is a question, I recently acquired a cherries jubilee from Hong Kong and it has some small blue (?) spots that I can't get rid of, I checked inside the pony to see if maybe it was due to fungi but I didn't find anything 😿 and because I'm new to this whole toy cleaning thing, I'm not sure what they are due to, how I can get rid of them or reduce them, if anyone could help me or guide me i would be very thankful 😭🙏 sorry for the english btw, its not my first languaje
Sorry if this is a weird place to comment. But I'm very anxiously planning to try reharing one of my beloved Sailor Moon dolls I loved a little too much as a kid, and her hair is falling out. She'll need completely new hair, hers is broken and in a horrible state. I wanted to know the following, if you or anybody here might have advice:
What's the difference between nylon or acrylic hair? I'm unsure what type of hair I should choose. I have no idea what the difference is. I know you mentioned it in a video, I've seen pretty much all your Pony videos...and I can't remember where I've seen this specific tidbit of information xDD
I don't know how well you'll be able to answer this question, but how do you know which rehairing needles are the right size? I assume my dolls have smaller hairing holes than My Little Ponies based on their sizes. Is there some way to tell what a good size might be, or do you just have to try a few and see what works?
Thank you for the resources in your description too! I was going to try and get the rehairing set there, but it says the shop is currently on a break, so I may have to find something elsewhere. But all the resources are a huge help and gives me a good starting point! I really appreciate you putting this stuff out there!!
(I'm also planning to give my 1st gen Peachy MLP a tail soon! It was somehow lost when my sister played with her as a kid and I don't have a clue where it went...I plan to fix it using the methods I've seen in your videos and am excited about that!)
Wh6 does her mane start between her eyes??
I need you all pony experts on finding the name for the pony pin that I recently got she has a light pinky peach coat and rainbow hair and purple eyes and purple umbrella symbols on her rump can you help me with her name? She looks like a G1 pony she also has a light blue bow on her tail
Sounds like one of the rainbow ponies. Maybe Parasol?
@@corriemcclain7960 I love that parasol is such a cute name thank you for naming her
