Pony finds, should I restore or customize? (Also need ID)
« on: April 14, 2012, 08:16:06 AM »
I got these ponies from a charity shop/thrift store recently. Sadly they have alot of ink/marker on them! I have tried cleaning the fakie pony with all kinds of stuff but no luck so far, only faded slightly. The problem is the makrs are on her symbols so should I perhaps customize her? The two G3 ponies have marker pen, again should I restore or customize? (I want to keep the hair on the ponies incidently as can condition that I think) I think the peach one could be ok but the white looks pretty bad to me! Also, what are the ponies names? The two ponies that just need hair tidying and are clean, I don't know what brand they are, they don't look like the usual fakies so if anybody knows who they are that would be great! Any help much appreciated! And I hope I've posted in the right section and that my pictures aren't too big! (I have more pictures is anybody wants to see them, the ponies hooves have been drawn on too!)(PS I dont' know how to do the make pictures appear in post thing yet!)

The white G3 is Desert rose, not sure what the peachish one is.
I say you'd probably be fine customizing them if you want. :)

I think it'd be okay to customize them at this point. Can't wait to see what you make out of them! :)

I say turn them into something beautiful!  Ink stains are really tough to get out, so if you are willing to invest the time into them, make them look lovely!!

I think its up to you TBH. Personally I would have a go at restoring Peachy Pie and Desert Rose first. Yeah ink can be tough to get out of G3's - sometimes sunfading works, sometimes it doesnt.. but its worth a try :)
I've seen some amazing customs made from fakies  :lovey:

Those last two appear to be Twilight Ponies: http://www.twilightponies.com/uk/index.html  There was a thread about them over in Off Topic not too long ago: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,288839.0.html

Thanks for the helpful replies everybody! Good to know how to add pictures now! It's good to know all the ponies names!  I think I will have a go at sunfading the ink off desert rose and peachy pie first after I've washed them. I think I am gonna customize the fakie for sure as I think  she really has too much ink on her! The others I'll have to see. In the meantime I can style the the twlight ponies hair nicely.  :)
