I'm a bit late to the party, but I have had someone ask me to look for matching colors for this pony before. ^_^  I still have the comparison images I took with my pony that's still MIP.  The closest matches I have are Heart Throb for the pink and Gusty for the green.  They're not exact matches, but hopefully they'll refresh her a bit!  I hope these photos help, but if you ever have matching questions, feel free to drop me a line!

Alright, bumping this thread because I'm still trying to figure out my rehairing tool. Shimmerlocks has one, but I seriously doubt I MUST pay $16 to finish this project. What are good alternatives? I was wondering if I could use felting needles, but mine aren't small enough... At least, I don't think so? I'm not even sure what a good size is! Does anybody have a link to a product they bought for rehairing, and liked?

You can use a knot method which needs no glue. You can use floss or doll needles to thread the hair through. I think the customs forum has tutorials linked.
I did get my rehair tool from Restoredoll and it works just fine, but I had to replace my needle with a doll needle my dad cut at home, I usually just eyeball it.

I just use the needle and floss method, like TRTL suggested. It takes a little practice to get the hang of it, but once you do it's not so bad. Plus, you get two plugs filled for each knotted piece of hair you tie. Try the MLP preservation site for the tutorial. No tool needed!
