This turned out so nice! Your cleaning game is so so good! I'm a costumer, and I dye a LOT of fabric for clients, so here are a few tips I can offer: It's actually really hard to dye the pony with such a diluted concentration of RIT dye. They hair is nylon, which is a very easy to dye material. I've dyed a few white pony's hair and the dye never takes to the plastic. That being said, it *Can* leech into the pony if the hair touches the pony for extended periods of time (think Surprise and her chartreuse hair). I would recommend a dye stop after you dye the hair. It helps deactivate the pigments and prevents them from excessive bleeding. Also, between dyes (like your pink to yellow), use cold water, not hot to stop bleeding. It's like the care instructions suggest a cold washing cycle on richly pigmented clothes (like red shirts which bleed a LOT). Same principles apply here. I would also recommend storing a pony with dyed hair with the hair wrapped in tissue or paper towel just to be on the safe side. Your pony is pink on pink, so you have very little to worry about. :)
This character is such a huge nostalgia trip for me. She was my favorite as a kid, and my grandad first showed me this franchise. All around good soft memories. Thank you for restoring her.
Thank you for making and sharing and creating these wonderful videos. It’s so soothing and healing watching these lovely little ponies be lovingly restored. Thank you 💖
Happy Hearth’s Warming Eve Everypony! Amazing transformation! Very cool idea about leaving a message inside, I like that a lot. Might have to incorporate that into some of my own restorations. And again, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays everyone!
AAAAH ! This was so fantastic to see after all the stress of trying to travel safely for a very muted celebration ! Now I'm back home and dancing in my chair - you did the secret note ! And you kept it a secret ! How delightful :D
Thank you for the idea! I'm so glad you liked it! I didn't think of putting the secret message inside a little bag, so if the next owner gives it a bath -- note is gone xD
@@RetroGeekCrafts that's truthful to the message in a bottle! You can't be sure the bottle won't smash before it reaches a beach, so... it's russian roulette ;-) I thought it was ingenious you kept it a secret from us too :-D
Your channel is like that scene in Toy Story 2, when Woody is restored, but on a greater scale, and very, very relaxing to watch. Amazing job, you really give life back to these toys.
That secret message is such a neat idea! X3 and gosh the recolored hair is so pretty, I never would have guessed that neon yellow could be what was needed to get the correct hue :0 Happy Holidays! 😊❤
Just stumbled upon your channel, I was pleasantly surprised to see there's proper captioning on the video itself! As a deaf this made me happy, thank you and great work!
i've been going down a rabbit hole watching your videos lately and honestly i'm not upset about it in the slightest lol also i've noticed in previous videos where you wrap the ponies heads and rears in paper towel to protect them from being rubbed off during cleaning, and i figured id leave a comment with a tip, to help with that! f you don't already know this, you could probably cut out pieces of masking tape to put around the eyes and symbols to protect them from being rubbed off during cleaning. it leaves you with a lot more surface area to work with so you don't potentially end up with weird patchy bits, plus its not as clunky. i've used this trick on a couple of projects and let me tell you it has been a LIFESAVER when it comes to preserving certain details i don't want to remove, paint over or mess up accidentally 😅 love your content, keep up the awesome work dude! :D
Wow, thank you so much! And welcome aboard 😊 I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos. Thank you for the tip!! I use masking tape sometimes but I found an issue with it: If I keep it for too long, the glue sticks to the pony and it's really difficult to remove without acetone. I should try to just change the the more frequently, though, I feel that might solve it! Or maybe try a different brand of tape! Thank you 😊😊
It's really helpful that you don't do the same techniques each time. You could have easily just re-rooted the hair. But you took the time to try something new, which is great, because others can watch your videos and choose the techniques that they feel they can manage when they try to repair and restore ponies as well. Also, that particular color of hair always seemed to fade like that. I had a few ponies whose pink hair faded, and it always bothered me when I was a kid. I wonder if there have been any changes to newer doll hair in that shade so that it doesn't fade as easily. She looks great. Lickety Split was one of the ponies my best friend had when we were kids. You made her look just like new!
Thank you so much 😊😊 I try to show different techniques, even when they don't work (that way we at least prove it doesn't!). You're right, this hair colour faded really easily. I was actually convinced Lickety Split was always white haired!
I love watching your videos before and after work, your voice and music choices are so relaxing. Plus it makes me super happy to see these toys get new life again. Also just a tip from cosplay: sharpies and other alcoholic based markers can be used to color synthetic hair.
Thank you! 😊 I wanted to show a new technique, and I usually keep the original hair unless it's too short -- it never looks entirely the same when doing a reroot. Just a personal preference, though!
Your videos evolved so much since I started looking at your channel! I really like all the effort you do to details every of your procedure, plus the chill music in the background, it feels so satisfying, I love this! Please keep going! ♥
HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 22K SUBSCRIBERS!! I WAS SURE YOU HAD AT LEAST 500,000K!! OHMYGOODNESS your work is so amazing!! i'm just getting into doll restoration myself ah!! thank you for giving these toys a second life !! :D
She looks Sweet again, you did an amazing job restoring MLP toys. Still I hate to see toys crippled, rusted, or completely destroyed like that. We got Nightmare Moon, Celestia now all we need is Daybreaker, Luna, Twilight, Cadence, Daydream Shimmer, Midnight Sparkle, Cozy Glow Alicorn & chaos Alicorn form. Maybe we'll see them in 2022 tomorrow is Christmas & I have to be ready for tomorrow. Happy Holidays to you and your family RetroGeek Crafts. :)
Feliz Navidad RetroGeekCrafts! Que lo pases bien y gracias por el video. Te quedó lindo y fue interesante ver un proceso distinto al usual de restauración. 👍
The note is such a cute idea! Reminds me of the people who put a pic of them an their bunny behind a wall with a light hearted note saying “what was wrong with the way we remodeled it?”
Hola, tengo tres ponis del G4 pero a uno le cortaron la cola, ¿cómo lo cambio? Otra cosa, ¿qué recomiendas aplicar para quitar las manchas de esmalte de uñas sobre plástico, sin dañar el pony? Por último, ¿cómo puedo peinar la melena del pony? Soy de México, ¿podrías contestarme en español por favor? 🥺🙏 Hello, I have three ponies from the G4 but one had its tail cut off, how do I change it? Another thing, what do you recommend applying to remove nail polish stains on plastic, without damaging the pony? Lastly, how can I style the pony's mane? I'm from Mexico, could you answer me in Spanish please? 🥺🙏
Hola Ricardo! Para cambiar la cola necesitas sacar primero la cabeza. Fíjate en mis dos vídeos de G4s como hago los cortes. El "tapón" blanco no lo saqué pero solo hay que cortar alrededor. Fíjate que hay vídeos. Las manchas de esmalte las quitas con acetona (quitaesmalte con acetona funciona) pero cuidado porque también remueve la pintura! Y para peinar, champú y acondicionador o enjuague de ropa 😊
Hi! Love how it turned out all the restoration ! Quick question , what type of glue did you use to put the pony head? I’m currently doing a restoration for a minty but, I have my doubts of what glue is best for those cases.
Te recomiendo usar en los ojos un poco de morado tirando a oscuro muy aguado para hacer sombras en los ojos si algún día te apetece añadirlas, también recomiendo hacer las líneas y las pupilas del color del ojo, pero siendo casi negro, enriquece muchísimo en color!
I thought she was Hong Kong but now I'm in doubt. She doesn't have anything written on the hooves. Why do you think she's from Spain? (if possible, please reply in a new comment so I don't miss it! I'm trying to catch up with these but replies are hidden by YT)
this is gonna be a weird question but do you think straight up hair dye meant for human hair would stay? because i have a ton of that and while rit dye is pretty easy to get my hands on i am curious now
It wouldn't sadly... it may faintly colour, but it would never stay because it doesn't have the right chemistry to soak into plastic fibers on dolls, but it *will* heavily stain the plastic! The rit dye is just the best way to go :3
Hmmm I'm not sure. Like Signal_Ehxx mentions, I think there's a risk it can stain the plastic although that's also something that can happen with rit dye (it is used to dye pony bodies too). You could try with a little strand, though, and let us know 😊😊
@@RetroGeekCrafts I've actually tried it, most colours are very very faint or don't take at all sadly... it's similar for dying synthetic wig hair, they just don't have the right chemistry to heavily stain :( who knows though, maybe if its something like bright green it would do more, but usually it just washes out in warm water and sometimes can be infectious to the body since as far as I'm aware you can't seal it
She came out beautiful! can you share the brand name for the paint brushes you use? I am unable to find very small stiff enough brushes for the painting.
"...because acetone can be really really bad for your lungs" Me, who's worked in a plastic factory for 6 years using acetone to clean ink plates: *YES.*
Ouch! I hope you're okay! I learned how bad it can get when I did one of my first restorations and I breathed it in for over an hour. My throat hurt so much for at least a week. Really scary :/
Thank you 😊 Pink hair gets discoloured VERY easily. I think it was the pigment they used. Maybe sunlight and heat "dissolved" it. That's why I wanted to show a possible fix 😊
Hey! Merry Christmas ❤️ I wanted to try and join the discord server but both links seem expired on channel description and your about section. Could I get a updated link?
Happy holidays! Yes, it's definitely something I need to do! I have a masquerade in the UV chamber but it's proving REALLY tough to clean. I'll see what I can do 😊😊
You should put the message (super cute idea, btw) in plastic baggy or something similar. When I was a kid, I'd play with my ponies in the bath. Your message might get wet.
My brain came up with 2 reasons why it might be glued. 1: a kid kept ripping the head off there toys (and possibly hiding stuff in them) and a parent got fed up with it. 2: someone mistaked it for a g3 and thought it was defective since (I’m pretty sure) G3’s heads don’t move
Not that there have been any of your restorations that aren't, but this one is definitely something to be proud of. she doesn't even look like the same Pony. You didn't happen to measure when you were mixing that dye? You know the group would love that info ;)
Unfortuantely, there are no other products I know of (personally) that can do the same. However, oxi clean and those stain-removal powders or liquids can make a huge difference, and you can usually find them in the supermarket. One comment about hydrogen peroxide: In some countries it's sold as "hair salon cream". A note, though: It's VERY toxic, it should never touch your skin.
A lot of times the plastic used on heads and bodies is different / ages differently. So you end up with very different colours. But because hydrogen peroxide cleans the vinyl so well, they tend to equalize again 😊😊
That made a big difference, and you didn't have to rehair at all. Have you ever tried restoring G1 seaponies, G3 ponies, or any see-through-glittery ponies? (I'm sure they have an actual name, I just don't know what it is).
Thank you 😊😊 I have two sea ponies in the UV chamber but they're a little difficult to deal with. And I want to do a G2 and G3 but all the ones I find are in great condition. They don't need repairs, and they're too good to be turned into customs. But working on it!!
Older ponies like this have metal washers inside to hold on the tail, so if any moisture got inside, that's why it got rusty! Sorry if you already knew this, just trying to help :3
You inspired me to start reparing old ponies, and i wanted to thank you for that. That being said, there is a problem i keep facing : marker marks. See, i use nail-cleaning acetone, which i do not know the percentage of. I also tried other corrosives, and nothing works. So, what can i do if acetone fails to remove marker marks ?
I have so many ponies in my collection that I just left with their faded hair because it made them look like little old ladies and I thought they were cute lol
Disculpa, quería saber si el tratamiento de peróxido de hidrógeno también funcionará con los ponys de la cuarta generación, porque tengo algunos desde hace unos años que se decoloraron por el sol y también quería preguntar dónde conseguiste el peróxido de hidrógeno. Por cierto, me sorprendió mucho el cambio en el pony, se ve como nuevo💕 EDIT: Me acabo de dar cuenta de que también hablas español y escribí todo en inglés xD
La verdad que nunca lo probé en ponis G4 pero lo he usado en otros juguetes sin problemas! Acá el peróxido se vende como crema para blanquear el pelo (antes de teñir, le dicen hair salon). Quizás se consiga así! Ojalá encuentres!!
Must be nice not to have to fully rehair for a change! She came up so clean and pretty!
Yes! Definitely. And I love trying new things 😊
This turned out so nice! Your cleaning game is so so good!

What a dramatic change! It's so cool that you give very well-loved toys a second life.

Merry Christmas. I would love to eventually if you get one you do a twinkle eye pony. Love your videos.
Happy holidays! Yes, it's definitely something I need to do! I have a masquerade in the UV chamber but it's proving REALLY tough to clean. I'll see what I can do 😊😊
@@RetroGeekCrafts Weird I wonder why they are harder to clean haha
What is the best way to remove a pen mark off a pony?
The only way I know to work is UV light and hydrogen peroxide. It takes a few days but it removes it!
You should put the message (super cute idea, btw) in plastic baggy or something similar. When I was a kid, I'd play with my ponies in the bath. Your message might get wet.
My brain came up with 2 reasons why it might be glued.
1: a kid kept ripping the head off there toys (and possibly hiding stuff in them) and a parent got fed up with it.
2: someone mistaked it for a g3 and thought it was defective since (I’m pretty sure) G3’s heads don’t move
What if they soak the pony to remove the head, will the note still be readable?
I didn't think of that 😁🤯
Haha I laughed at your clumsiness alert. If I made a video I’d need one of those every 10 seconds, I’m such a klutz! 😆
😁 I only show a selected few. They happen way more behind the scenes :P
Yay voiceover time!
Thank you so much, you're very kind 😊
Not that there have been any of your restorations that aren't, but this one is definitely something to be proud of. she doesn't even look like the same Pony. You didn't happen to measure when you were mixing that dye? You know the group would love that info ;)
Thank you so much 😊😊 I mixed so many times that I actually don't know what the final one was. But I think something like... 30% yellow, 70% pink!
I don’t have hydrogen peroxide, unfortunately. Can I use something else instead?
Unfortuantely, there are no other products I know of (personally) that can do the same. However, oxi clean and those stain-removal powders or liquids can make a huge difference, and you can usually find them in the supermarket. One comment about hydrogen peroxide: In some countries it's sold as "hair salon cream". A note, though: It's VERY toxic, it should never touch your skin.
Wonder if she was a hybrid? The head and body don't seem to fit right. Colors are off as well. But sge turned out beautifully
A lot of times the plastic used on heads and bodies is different / ages differently. So you end up with very different colours. But because hydrogen peroxide cleans the vinyl so well, they tend to equalize again 😊😊
How can I restore the glitter mark? I cannot repaint it myself.
You can buy glitter paint, but I haven't done this very successsfully yet, so I can't recommend any in particular :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts Ah sorry, I meant normal cutie marks, but without painting them myself
That made a big difference, and you didn't have to rehair at all.
Have you ever tried restoring G1 seaponies, G3 ponies, or any see-through-glittery ponies? (I'm sure they have an actual name, I just don't know what it is).
Thank you 😊😊 I have two sea ponies in the UV chamber but they're a little difficult to deal with. And I want to do a G2 and G3 but all the ones I find are in great condition. They don't need repairs, and they're too good to be turned into customs. But working on it!!
Ah, this makes me wonder how my ponies were stored! One had lots of rust damage inside, but from the same lot came a pristine lickity.. Hmm
Older ponies like this have metal washers inside to hold on the tail, so if any moisture got inside, that's why it got rusty! Sorry if you already knew this, just trying to help :3
I hope you can find them!! 😊😊
You inspired me to start reparing old ponies, and i wanted to thank you for that.
That being said, there is a problem i keep facing : marker marks. See, i use nail-cleaning acetone, which i do not know the percentage of. I also tried other corrosives, and nothing works.
So, what can i do if acetone fails to remove marker marks ?
Thank you so much 😊😊 Some markers are VERY tough to remove. UV light works on most, but it might take months :/
Do you go online looking for your ponies or do you find them at thrift stores?
I buy some on eBay and local markets, sometimes FB marketplace. And FB groups too 😊
I have so many ponies in my collection that I just left with their faded hair because it made them look like little old ladies and I thought they were cute lol
Haha I love this 😊😊
Disculpa, quería saber si el tratamiento de peróxido de hidrógeno también funcionará con los ponys de la cuarta generación, porque tengo algunos desde hace unos años que se decoloraron por el sol y también quería preguntar dónde conseguiste el peróxido de hidrógeno. Por cierto, me sorprendió mucho el cambio en el pony, se ve como nuevo💕
EDIT: Me acabo de dar cuenta de que también hablas español y escribí todo en inglés xD
La verdad que nunca lo probé en ponis G4 pero lo he usado en otros juguetes sin problemas! Acá el peróxido se vende como crema para blanquear el pelo (antes de teñir, le dicen hair salon). Quizás se consiga así! Ojalá encuentres!!
I had this one !
She's just like new
Thank you 😊
