Okkk, this is a seriously FUN project!

Wow - this is so very interesting! Thank you, and cannot wait for further updates

Well, I did this by accident once.

I forgot a couple of baby ponies soaking in a jar of 100% acetone- they got very large and distorted- they looked QUITE monstrous.

But oddly enough the vinyl shrank back eventually I don't have them anymore- I gave them to a friend for an art project since they were so weird (at least at first)

The shrinking back was not right away- it took longer than you'd think- long after they were "dry" - by the time they shrank back they no longer had super thin wobbly areas... hey looked fairly normal.

I am curious to see if you can make the "growth" permanent

Maybe if you filled her with plaster or resin or something?

Update pics coming soon. And more ponies will be undergoing the experiment

I just got back from the flea market with some new victims. One of the applejacks is quite damaged, lickety split has some marker stains and the honeysuckle is missing her wing mechanism, so those three are definitely taking an acetone bath.

As for Peachy, she's holding up nicely. It's been 3 weeks and she seems to have kept her size. If she did shrink back a bit, I can't really tell. She is still soft and squishy, so that will make the rehairing a whole a easier. She might get a second acetone traitment, just out of curiosity.

I'm impressed that her symbols stayed on her and didn't dissolve. ^^ I can't wait to see how your other ponies will end up. ^^

For now it looks like the difference between a HK Peachy and an Italy version

Keep us updated

Well... the next batch has been soaking in acetone for about 45 minutes now. I threw 3 ponies in at the same time, and used pure acetone - no water dilution.

30 minutes in: "Applejack, nooo! What have I done?" *rushed to the kitchen to fill a cup of water, added it to the acetone*

40 minutes in: "Lickety, not you too!!!" *rushed to the kitchen to fill two pints of water, added it to the acetone*

To be continued...

EDIT: About 90 minutes in...

A hind leg of both AJ and Lickety Split started to grow disproportionately very quickly, but not evenly. And very shortly after bubbles were developing all around the hoof (probably the spots where the plastic was the thinest).

I immediately added water, and the swelling has drastically receded since. I'm afraid it will also stunt the overall growth.

I didn't take pics, because the solution became turbid very quickly: this time I didn't remove the hair plugs. The glue on the hair has dissolved, turning the liquid very murky.

This is fantastic!

NightGliderSA · « **Reply #54 on:** July 03, 2018, 12:25:29 AM »

I wonder why the hind leg in particular grew more than the rest of the pony? Why not all of the legs?

Thinner plastic, maybe?

Applejack kinda shrunk!
But wait till you see Lickety Split...

It really is a matter of trial and error with every pony. Both were dropped in the same acetone bath, and all that happened to AJ was a discoloring. On closer inspection, it seems like she even shrunk a little.

Notice the hind leg. The leg is much softer than the others, so I'm guessing it never got as much plastic as the other three to begin with. The bloating has receded, but it was horrendous when she was in the acetone.

It's not the positioning; she really is shorter than the other one, and noticeably paler.

I'm going to follow Noasar's advice and use expanding foam on the inside, after a second acetone bath.

*claps excitedly* Lickety Split looks spectacular! I so want a giant Posey, but I'd be afraid to try this myself.

Safflower · « **Reply #58 on:** July 03, 2018, 02:41:36 PM »

*gasps* LICKETY O.O That's a big result!!! Applejack looks cute too

Noasar · « **Reply #59 on:** July 03, 2018, 04:38:17 PM »

Oh wow she is huge! I love her! Godzilla Split!

Let me know how the foam goes - I might just have to try this myself too to get some giant ponies. Don’t you just love science!
