G1 basic fun plushie question.
« on: May 09, 2023, 07:44:57 AM »
Please move if necessary.

Hello everyone,

I want to by the newly released pony plushies from basicfun. I want to buy an extra one (moondancer or glory) and turn it into windwhistler. My question is, which of them has a cutie mark that is easier to remove.

If somebody could show close ups of their mark so I can see which one would be better to remove? Advice is welcome here.

Thanks in advance :)

I just got Moondancer today. She's really cute! The symbols are embroidered so I guess you could pick out the threads? But I don't know what's under the threads or if they would leave gaping holes.

From my experience, removing the embroidery may lead to holes in the fabric just because it's very weakened by being embroidered. Regardless of what you pick, prepare to patch from behind.

I don't know if this will help with your specific project, but I've converted G4 plushes into G1 ponies. You can see an example here -> https://mlparena.com/index.php?topic=398443.0

What I did was I bought a sew-on patch that resembled the new pony's cutie mark, and just sewed it on right over the old one. I had to make sure the measurements were right, but once it was on, you'd never be able to tell there was anything beneath it.

Hope that gives you some ideas!
