acetone effect on pony *Updated July 8th: G3 pony*

[Griffin]

Whoah, this is interesting. Yay for experimental pony science!

[Tulips]

This is amazing! I wish you the best of luck with the next step

[Roogna]

woah!

Project Name: PonZilla
Patient Zero: Peachy #1.568.647
Project Category: Genetic Mutation

Phase 1: Growth
Duration: 21 hours

Observations and Conclusions:
1.   The most delicate part of Patient Zero – the paint job – remains intact, even after scratching it. The acetone would appear to have been diluted with too much water. If the water affected the potency of the acetone to the point that the paint didn’t even come off, what might a near pure acetone solution do – primarily to Patient Zero’s final size?
2.   Growth of Patient Zero kicked in around the 2h mark and seemed to have halted around the 12h mark. Patient Zero was left to soak all the way up to the 21h mark. If this affected Patient Zero, it wasn’t visible to the naked eye at first glance. Patient Zero was therefore removed from her bath to prevent the reverse effect of the acetone, namely shrinking, to potentially kick in during the bath.
3.   Patient Zero shows obvious signs of coat discoloration. Though very evenly, she is now a light grayish tan, as opposed to her more peach pink color. The discoloration was the first effect to appear during the process. Ingrained dirt remained unaffected. Patient Zero also has wonky legs; they may have to be weighed down in the final phase. Patient Zero has now been filled to the brim with sand and dirt, which was subsequently moisted to fill up small corners and curves on the inside of the mold. An alternate method to ensure Patient Zero’s size and stability is currently under investigation. Only a faint wif of acetone can be detected when holding Patient Zero close to the nose. No obvious odor is being emitted - reverting back to conclusion nr.1
4.   Six hours after the launch of the project, a second soft plastic object was thrown into the experimental container along with Patient Zero: a standard doll head. Surprisingly enough, it remained entirely unaffected. It would appear that most of the magic happens in the first six hours, and that composition of the base solution is crucial. The first object to be subjected to the solution claims the majority of its effect.

Phase 2: Stabilizing Patient Zero's size and morphology
Preliminary reports indicate that Patient Zero has fully dried rather quickly and seems to maintain both her size and her initial proportions. The edges of the neckline, however, show minor signs of ondulation. Patient Zero maintains her stressball-like squishiness. One of her legs appears to have not been fully filled up with sand and dirt, but so far, no visible changes can be seen on the leg in question. She will now be transported to the relaxation area where she will be quarantained and closely monitored for the following days. End of Report.

Oh wow that is quite a difference! I love Peachyzilla!!

[TheBeatlesPkmnFan42]

This is very interesting! It's amazing how much larger she is compared to other ponies now!

[Safflower]

Interesting! That's a big difference. I wonder what would happen she still had her hair...

[DreamvalleyMLP]

It's been a couple of days now, and I can tell you that she's holding her final size really well. On the outside, she feels completely dry, but now the sand and the dirth on the inside reek of acetone. I have removed her head from her body, and will now let both fillings dry. I hope I can remove them in just a few days to see what finally happens to her when there is no resistance to the plastic from the inside.

Well, she's big !  I can't wait to see her "finished". ^^

[emily_katie]

I don't know if it's just the perspective of the photo bit her legs seem the same size 

[cookifaa]

Ive used acetone on a pony who I'm going to be restoring back to her former glory, as a last ditch attempt at cleaning her. She didn't swell, or disintegrate, but her ingrained dirt, symbols and marks came off. It also damaged her twinkle eyes beyond repair, but I'm going to replace them anyway.

I wouldn't recommend it unless it's a pony that you have plans for, such as a custom or a restoration

[Safflower]

Glad to see its going well! Her legs do look the same size

[DreamvalleyMLP]

I just removed the filling. There is no resistance to the plastic anymore, so it'll be interesting to see what happens now when the remaining acetone evaporates from the body. I don't think it will do much to the final size of the pony; that one leg that was left unfilled didn't mutate. It's the only leg of all four that doesn't quite touch the ground when the pony is placed on a flat surface, but the difference is nothing more than a millimeter. So I really can't be certain that it has something to do with the experiment; I think it's nothing more than a miniscule imperfection in the mold to begin with.

I will be repeating the experiment with another pony in the near future, using a stronger acetone solution.

The point of the experiment still hasn't been proven: how big can we grow a My Little Pony before it turns into a My Little Monster?

This is so so strange. The Peachy I've used has ingrained dirt all over her face. The specs are too tiny for a camera to capture, but it's there and all over her face. The acetone bath did nothing to it, but it did have an effect on the figure's size. Could the manufacturer of the acetone have something to do with it? When the label says 100% pure acetone, it would seem that the manufacturer wouldn't matter, but I've grown quite wary of how stuff is presented, so who knows.

[Safflower]

Awesome!

For the little information I know about doll head shrinking, if you want a bigger effect you need to replace the solution once it's stopped shrinking. For example, you could place Peachy in another tub of aceton and she would grow more, then stop once again? I think? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

[cookifaa]

It could be because i was scrubbing the pony with an electric toothbrush

The manufacturer could have something to do with it, I doubt anything is 100% pure anymore. I did use industrial strength acetone though.
