Pony Corral / Edgar the Elephant hair match and Dollyhair question
« on: January 21, 2018, 08:53:00 PM »
I bought an Edgar the Elephant from my local flea market a while ago, but he was missing a tail so I bought some new hair from Dollyhair using the color recommendation from this site, but when it actually came, it turns out the color was a bit off (though the site did have it marked as an unconfirmed color match)

I did send an email and photo to the person running the site to let them know, but I was wondering if anyone here might have a better idea of a color match than me? I have a photo of Edgar held up against a hank that I bought (in Lemonade)

As you can see, Edgar is definitely darker and more goldish/blondish than Lemonade which is pale yellow

Also, would anyone happen to know if Dollyhair does returns or exchanges? I don't really see anything about that on the site and I bought two hanks in Lemonade because I've read a bit of Dollyhair hanks being on the small side, plus Edgar has a bit of a bald spot that I want to fix. If not, I suppose I'll save Lemonade for another pony or a custom or something and Edgar will have to wait since I just started college again and books cost a lot this semester  :cloud: I'm really new at restoring and Edgar's plastic is pretty thick and hard and I wasn't as careful as I could've been apparently, so, unfortunately, his neck got a little messed up when I took off his head to get rid of the remaining tail pieces left inside him and because of that, he definitely has to a permanent part of my collection now. It's not a huge deal if his hair and tail don't match 100%, but having a color difference this big would bug me forever

Arts & Crafts Corral / Pony Pixels!
« on: January 16, 2018, 07:56:03 PM »
I made a little pixel of my ponysona to use as an icon and then a friend said that it would make a cute sticker, which gave me the idea to use it as a base to make more pony pixels! I've done the g3 core 7 so far and I want to make more ponies when I can. School just started for the semester for me so I don't really have a lot of free time at the moment

Here's my ponysona, Dazzle!

Other than my ponysona, feel free to use these in things like signatures, just please don't edit out my username! Using them for personal use like icons and signatures is okay, but please don't repost them on their own on places like pinterest, instagram or facebook. I already have them posted up on my art blog, princecatling-art on tumblr

If used here, it's not strictly necessary since I'm on the forum, but if used elsewhere, please link or otherwise give credit to me on my art blog!

I also have them as stickers on Redbubble!

I found a Sprinkles at my local flea market this past weekend and when I was checking the ponies I got for what I'll need to clean or fix, I noticed these bright orange stains on her face (I'll post the photos below), plus a small dark brown spot on one of her legs (possibly pony cancer?) that I didn't notice until long after I took and uploaded the photos

My phone's camera doesn't capture color well, but the spots are like neon orange in person. Also, at some point I think someone tried to manhandle her head off since her head is quite loose and there's a bit of deforming around the neck. Can anyone tell me what the stains might be and how to get rid of it? I live in a small apartment with pretty poor ventilation so I'd rather not use strong chemicals like bleach unless I absolutely have to

Arts & Crafts Corral / My ponysona!

This is just a pretty messy doodle, but I made a ponysona a few months back. His name is Dazzle and I made him before I really started collecting, so he's not supposed to be any specific type of pony besides just a pegasus really. I drew him on paper originally while at school with some friends who were also drawing/making their own ponysonas and then I redrew him digitally and colored him when I got home. I couldn't think of a cutie mark so I just threw on some glitter and shapes (plus a little heart by his hoof like on g3s because I just always thought that was really cute) and it just stuck :,)

And this is my main fursona who's basically a cat version of him. I really like the pony Dazzle but I've always felt like a cat fursona would suit me more, so I just put his color scheme on a cat body. It might get covered up by his mane, but I might also add a star shaped blaze to the pony Dazzle? I'm only still thinking about it though

To differentiate them, I'm calling the cat Dazzle Catling (like my username!) and I'm not sure what to call the pony Dazzle yet

I'm planning to make customs for both of them to represent me on my social media stuff like my instagram! I got a secondhand Catrine DeMew that was in pretty rough condition so I've cleaned it up to make into Catling and I have a Rainbow Dash Design-A-Pony lying around somewhere that I can make into my ponysona once I figure out where it is

Introductions / Hello!
« on: December 29, 2017, 07:10:28 PM »
Hi! I'm Kris and I'm a 20 year old genderqueer trans guy (he/his pronouns) from the US. I've collected toys and figures since I was a kid, but I'm pretty new at collecting MLP dolls. I remember really liking some of the movies and playing with the Mcdonalds toys when I was a kid, but for some reason I never really got into MLP until relatively recently. Most of my MLPs are from the local flea market or were gifts from friends. Last weekend, I got really lucky and got 8 G1s in really good condition from another collector who was downsizing her collection! I also have a handful of G3s and G4s

Besides them, I also own a few Monster High dolls, one of which I've been repainting and am almost finished with and another one I'm planning to repaint and a Disney Store Merida doll which I'm also customizing and making some pretty heavy body mods for (I've turned her into a faun and I just need to find my sandpaper again before I can paint), and I'm a huge sucker for anything blindbox/blindbag. I currently have 11 Unicornos/Mermicornos and counting and various pieces from Re-Ment sets

Out of my collection so far, I think my favorite doll is currently Lofty!

I have a lot of junk in my room that I need to get around to clearing up space, so most of the dolls I've recently bought are still in the bags I took them home in, but over the weekend I'm going to start cleaning up so I have room to store and photograph them!
