Positive ID's and restoration advice needed on a recent haul

[Storm.Runner]

Hey everyone!
It's been a long while since I've been online and in the community (and I'm very sorry if I've got the wrong forum, I wasn't sure if this would go in Pony Corral, Arts and Crafts or Brag as there are a few Grails here for me), but I recently started collecting again and have managed to pick up one of my minor Grails - the Parasol stuffed toy - and a suspected G2 Grail (I think it's Princess Silverswirl) along with a few various others.

I'm looking for positive ID's on the G2's (especially to be sure if that is Silverswirl, I know a few variant releases were sold) and on the G3 baby.

Additionally I'm also after restoration tips - the damage is mostly minor, related to general grubbiness which can be solved with a bath, but there's also what looks like nail varnish on a few, pen marks, and quite a few have either one or both eye gems missing. Parasol's mane has some stitching coming loose at the bottom of her neck but that's an easy fix, she's in need of a good wash though and all of them are in need of some serious hair TLC! It looks like (Silverswirl?) has some pain chipped off on her horn and hooves, so what would be best to use to repaint her chipped parts too?
So with that in mind - what is the best method for removing marks without damaging the paintwork and symbols, where can I find some replacement eye gems, and how is it best to clean and wash Parasol please?

Many thanks in advance!

hey! congrats on your haul. that g2 pony definitely looks like Silver Swirl. and the G3 baby is Baby Flower Flash. i think she's a very interesting shade of green.

i think, for the pen marks & such, some acetone/nail polish remover on a q-tip would work well for removing those. if you use that & give the pony a wash afterwards it should help. if the marks are a bit more stubborn, you can try sun-fading or use a hydrogen peroxide cream/uv treatment to lessen them. mlppreservationproject has a ton of information about what materials and techniques you can use- through all generations. some info i think you'd find helpful: http://www.mlppreservationproject.com/materials

for those eye gems, i watched a g2 restoration video that touched up on this! what she used were nail art crystals and they looked like the real thing. timestamp & link to said video: https://youtu.be/MyaQjsJ7Eik?t=218 (she also has links to where you can find the materials she used in the description)

really hope this helps
