"All About" Ponies Question

Glad someone posted that video because I tried using pure acetone without even a smudge! Darn you Hasbro lol.

Ive done a big mac.  You do NEED to soak them to get that crap off  but it leaves the plastic matte . 

Use an old tooth brush to gently scrub the paint whilst it soaks in 100% acetone.

Good to know

What gets me is that after years of producing ponies with a symbol on one side (since G3!!)--presumably to save a tiny amount of paint--they suddenly SLATHER one side of the pony with this elaborate decal.  Just.  Just please, Hasbro, regular symbols on both sides.

(Although I am at least happy that Big Mac has his normal symbol on the other side.  I am too lazy to remove the big decal so I just face him the other way.)

Aw man, this looks like so much effort. Goddammit, Hasbro!

I wonder if Hasbro even cares at this point, I really like some of the new molds, but these scenes bother me. I would rather have something like that on a coffee mug.

It's Shadowbolt Dash (and her hair glue) all over again! I was considering getting another one to play around with, but the effort hardly seems worth the gain...

Yeah and for some reason hasbro decided to give every boy pony a mohawk instead of normal hair. I dont know what I can do to make it lay flat

   its quite easy all you need is a rubber or hair band , some sort of water dropper and  freshly boiled water.
Use tne rubber bamd to hold the dry hair down , then drop the boiling water over the hair as it wets down it will lay flat.   Leave to dry and walla

has anyone tried sandpaper?

I did try, to my surprise...it did nothing to this stupid paint. All it did was rough up the plastic. Seems long acetone soak and scrub is the only way so far.

Which is such a shame...Starlight has my new favorite G4 pony pose. And of course it came with this situation.

Maybe if we used knives, we could whittle the paint off? Of course, then we would have bumpy whittle marks . . .

I actually did a little of that too with an exacto blade lol. No dice. So now one side looks like a small animal bit her leg from the sanding and there's little scratches from the blade. I gave up and scrubbed with acetone eventually and it got some off, but I didn't soak it like suggested here yet.
