Description
Putting this under Custom Toys because she kind of is.... Long story short, this girl is months and months and MONTHS of dedicated work and love to get her back to decent... What do I mean? Well.. In the custom community she was a Grade A bait condition.... She was the kind of pony -no one- would want to take on to fix up... Yet I saw something that I could do for her. I gave this girl a second chance to be a lovely pony without a lot of customizing (only thing custom about her is her hair... seriously that is the only custom thing on her!)If you guys are wondering.. when I got her she looked like this --> [link]
Yeah poor pony but now look at her! And she has a special secret

I just love people who takes old, dirty, abandoned toys and restore them. For me, toys have a soul (like Toy Story, but for me is a bit more serious the thing), and I think they feel the abandonment. And now you've brought to life one of them, again! x3
Very good work! I think she's is happier now.

Aw, yeah she is happier now and enjoying her new life x3 I adore bringing back these ponies because most of them I never had as a kid.

D: I managed to find some of mine, I didn't have very many and most of my toys were given away in a garage sale before we moved to where we are now (I was still a little kid back then in the 3rd grade x.x)

Wow, how did you get her so white? Repaint? Sunbath?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well she isn't perfectly white, there is some yellowing where the icky cancer spots were. But it's not as bad as it used to be.
What I did with her was a sunbath with her in hydrogen peroxide (completely submersed) and months of doing this XD

And someone already asked my question - hee! ^__^
So, just for clirity's sake, you somehow submersed her in a bowl of hydrogen peroxide, stuck that in a window, and checked on it every now and then/top if off, or did you change the pickle every now and then? (I assume there was water in there as well, right?)
Thank you so much for sharing this! She looks fantastic, and I love the hair! ^__^

I actually had her in two bottom halves of soda bottles (clear) but for the first part I had her in a clear jar with a lid (the soda bottles I put clear wrap over the tops). I did need to check on her every now and then (mostly because she was in my car and on days I had to work I had to take her out XD). So every now and then I did take her out of the bath, washed her, then let her sit out to dry and give her a break for a while. No water was added to the solution XD It was straight 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. Only did that because she's a smaller pony.
Did any of that make sense xD?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes it did, and I thank you for the information! I'd try it on a bad Chief that I have, but I don't want to take his hair out (and I assume it would bleach if I did). :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The bleaching depends. It didn't affect Baby Moondancer's hair color but I remember seeing what it did to a Sugarberry's hair. It really just depends on the hair color and such.

*nods* I suppose if the Chief is baity enough it won't really matter anyway, thinking on it. :j

Yep, besides there is always rehairing xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would be a problem XD Though that is why members in customs on MLP Arean started that DH trading thread
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would make sence. I keep meaning to change MLPArena back to my home page... I changed it for the move.
