MLP Acquisitions - April 2021+Restoration Updates!

(1/1)

JanuaryJoy:
This month's "collection recap" is fairly small, but includes some interesting additions. Baby Tea Lily, who needed a surprise rehairing, and a G3-era clock I've never seen before!

Spoiler2005 Cupcake Alarm Clock
Condition: 7/10 - It's fully functional and the face is vibrant. However, it's a bit scuffed, a screw is missing, and the purple is noticeably off-color. There's an outline of somebody's princess sticker in the original shade though, which is cute!

G3 Baby Hula Lula
Condition: 9.5/10 - She's practically mint! I think there's factory glue on her back and other minor imperfections, but that's it.

G3 Baby Tea Lily
Condition: "Customized" - I ordered both a rehairing tool and "Heartthrob" hair from Shimmerlocks. The head removal wasn't pretty, I scratched her a bit, but I still successfully replaced all the frail pink hair in her mane and tail. I've never done this before, so I'm glad it went OK!

G1 Slugger
Condition: 7.5/10 - He's afflicted with moderate regrind spotting. It's a shame, but he's very clean otherwise with decent hair. I only have three Big Brothers left to collect!

I also wanted to update on my badly yellowed Princess Royal Blue. I prepped for sunfading beforehand using tinfoil, cling wrap, and painter's tape to cover symbols and hair:

This is the result after bathing in full sunlight for roughly three weeks worth. It's probably tricky to see the improvement between these photos and the ones from my previous topic, but I swear she's a lot better! Thanks to tailrustedtealeaf for the help and advice!
