  • This My Little Pony Sundae Best Banana Surprise was released in 1987 by Hasbro and sent to me by Marco from Italy. The pony had some missing hair plugs and the symbols had some superficial damage -- but it was in an overall good condition. I decided to clean it, rehair it, and repaint it with reversible acrylics. Although the hair color I used was slightly different from the original, I'm quite happy with the final effect!

    Why they even thought to use metal in a kids toy is beyond my understanding. I took all my favorite toys in the bath and pool with me. Something that could rust is ridiculous in a girls toy especially. I LOVED washing a brushing my dolls hair.

    Have you ever restored a first generation princess pony before? I would LOVE to see you do that and how you’d handle the shield and gem on them. I have a few first generation ponies that could use a little cleanup sometime and I’m learning so much from you. 🤍🤍🤍

    omg, it's my pony! Well, not MY pony, but I had one just like her when I was a kid! I remember if I put my nose to her, she used to smell soooo sweet! I still remember that smell to this day. Nice to see her get a little tlc after all these years, even if it was a little harrowing for me to watch you decapitate her lol.

      @RetroGeekCrafts  3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Not really, this is just the one I bought and it's so big I haven't needed another one. I can only say that it hasn't given me problems with coloured vinyl. But I don't think it would make a difference if it's the regular one, I believe lots of people use it!

    Hello and great video! Been watching some other mlp restoration videos of yours, customization is something im interested in and would love to start doing if i had the time and resources. Do you have any advice to share, namely acquiring ponies and tools/materials (all hopefully for a good price) but of course anything else you wanna share? Keep up the good work 👍

    • @RetroGeekCrafts
      @RetroGeekCrafts  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's so great that you want to start doing restorations!! For MLP, you can sometimes find "bait" (damaged) ponies on eBay and Etsy. Or you can ask in the collectors groups on FB, there is a lot of buying and selling there. For materials, you will need nylon hair, a rerooting tool, and probably acrylic paints. The hair is on Etsy, a bit more difficult to find in general. Let me know if you have any specific questions! You can also contact me through Instagram (link in the video descriptions)
