I was going through my box of bait ponies and I found two especially rough-looking Twinkle-Eye ponies I'd like to attempt to restore. Gingerbread and Sweet Stuff.
The photos make Sweet Stuff look more washed out than she really is but Ginderbread really is that tan. Not sure how "off" her color is now compared to the original. I've seen a variety of photos that make her look a little closer to what I have now and some that are lighter in color.
Both of them have these weird, brown spots on them. I'm not sure if it's mold or rust seeping into the plastic. Either way it's kind of unsettling.
I know how to do basic scrubs and hair washes but I've never attempted anything this daunting before. I know they probably need a deep cleaning inside as well as out but my first problem with that is they're completely solid. They barely have any give to them when I squeeze them. I can't even pull their heads off to get at their insides. I know their plastics can harden with age as I've got a couple more like this but they were never this dirty so a surface cleaning was enough to suffice for them.
Anyway, my first thought would be to boil them to try and soften the plastic but I'm also worried about ruining their eyes. I know Twinkle Eyes can be delicate. They are are already scuffed, which I can live with, but I'd hate to make them any worse.
I haven't attempted to try anything with them yet as I feel so stuck.
