The Baby Frosting and Mimic family are just too cute!!!
I've just had a brainwave - when my fiance finds out my Dream Castle box from the basement, where I think Mimic is (too many spiders for me when I went down yesterday!), I can take her to our local Homebase after payday to see if they'll do a colourmatch for me and I can get a couple of bottles made up, and send one to you if they do?

Oh my god YESS to the Klefki and Locket team up!
I can almost see an army of Starmi's playing with Baby Seaponies too!

I've also thought of another - the "daddies" from the Berrytown, Meadowsweet and and Sunbright families were in Gingerbread pose - which I've always thought was a bit naff. They really should have been in proper "Boy" poses in my opinion

I'm not even going to attempt a full-body repaint...I don't trust my abilities enough to achieve a factory look without brush strokes!
Exactly the reason why I gave up some years back! Then my fiance said that I needed a life outside work  and a hobby as an outlet, so he bought me an airbrush, and I've been spending the last few weeks stripping down my old custom attempts and learning how to airbrush. I've loved the finish I've gotten on my Fortune Teller Mystic and Baby Parasol so far! Shall take photos with flash on and off for you to try and get as accurate colour shots for you xx

Hi, I'll see if I can get down to the basement to find her out for you later.
When I was experimenting doing a baby Mimic a few years back, I think I made her base colour up with a touch of neon green mixed with a creamy ivory, but those paints are all locked up in storage at the moment. The colour was close, but I couldn't get rid of the brush strokes no matter how thinned down the paint was so I gave up.

I have a bait Baby Tippy Toes, and have a concept of turning her leotard and slippers into a metallic costume, and then seeing if I can rehair her with rainbow hair.
I'll be using Vallejo masking liquid to protect the bits of leg between the criss-cross of the ribbons before airbrushing the metallic paint onto the slippers.
The masking liquid is quite cheap on amazon - give it a go!

This is such a cool thread! I can totally see Ice Crystal having Articuno as his buddy! When I evolved the Alohan Ponyta on Pokemon Go, literally the first thing I said was that he looks like a Dream Beauty! Speaking about the Alohan Pokemon, they would totally have team ups with the Tropical Ponies Seashell with Clamperl and Shellder.... a match made in heaven!

I actually really dislike the sitting pose - it meant I couldn't play pretend Bubbles and Seashell could compete in my gymkhana games when I was a kid. So I have to make customs of each - one in a collectors pose and one in a Posey pose, and to make them extra special I am planning to give them tinsel in their hair and glitter symbols, and maybe even make them a baby each to match! I also dislike the Moondancer pose, makes the pony's silhouette really naff and because of that I am actively not looking for Moondancer bait for customs. Although Sunbeam does look better - wondering if it's because she's blue and not white? Post Merge: February 17, 2022, 07:12:37 AMI’d change Pony Bride’s pose. To me she kind of looks like a dog!
To me, she kind of reminds me of a Akhal Teke horse, or an Arab

Hear a sizzle?! Jeez that would freak me out! 
Thanks, shall give it a go at the weekend!
Yeah. Sizzle like dropping water on a skillet is fine. Crackle like frying bacon is too hot!
Well I chickened out of using my straightener and went with the boiling method - microwaving a bowl of water to boil, then dunking the mane of my custom to straighten the kinks out of the hair. There was a slight "crimped" wave in the delta poly hair I got from Emporium. The boiling method helped the hair, but also caused the acrylic paint to come off one ear, even though I was careful not to get the paintwork wet! Am now wondering if anyone has used conditioner for synthetic wigs, and whether it's worth buying? Found this one on Amazon for instance: ps://smile.amazon.co.uk/Salon-Control-Conditioner-Synthetic-Human/dp/B084D8DTST/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1912R4IN9SCB1&keywords=nylon+conditioner&qid=1645109727&sprefix=nylon+conditioner%2Caps%2C58&sr=8-6

Maybe I'm the odd one but aside from fixing some animation goofs I would leave the movie as is. I'm sure a lot of that is my nostalgia talking but that movie was one of the staples of my childhood.
I totally agree with this tbh. Absolutely adored that movie!
