About a month ago I purchased a restore lot from a lovely arena member. Surprisingly I didn't already own most of these beauties. I thought it would be fun to share their before and after photos (because I love seeing other's before and after shots). The ponies in the lot had issues ranging from the need for a magic eraser, to requiring full re-hair and deflocking (according to my standards...don't hate on me for deflocking). So here we go...
Glory just needed a good scrubbing and a symbol touch up:

Cupcake had some marker and stains on her flocking, so I deflocked:

Medley needed a scrubbing and symbol touch up. She is the only character in the lot I already own:

Twist was terrible. She was deflocked and fully re-haired. I LOVE her:

Sunspot needed ink marks cleaned, and symbol touch up. I also dyed her hair a darker pink (because I think it looks nicer):

Wind Whistler was deflocked and gently re-pinked:

There were also two Gingerbreads and a Cherry treats in the lot, but they are more stubborn (no sun fading etc.) and I'm still contemplating their fate. ;)

WOW!! Amazing job, especially with the deflocks!! I just love how SS ponies look when deflocked, so vibrant! ^-^

I would totally deflock Twist if I ever got one. She is just GORGEOUS underneath that flocking.

Its amazing what a bit of love can do!! :)

GREAT JOB! They look so beautiful now.

If you lived in the UK, I'd send all my poor ponies to you and pay you to restore them -- your work is incredible!! :iconclap:

Fantastic work!

Absolutely gorgeous!
I love Twist so much deflocked, which reminds me I have one that needs to be. I think I shall work on that this weekend! Thanks for the inspiration.

Nice job! :)

Very amazing job! All of them look so happy when cleaned and groomed. ^.^

Oh, wonderful work! :cheer:
I love seeing others' befores and afters, too - and so do my ponies, 'cause it motivates me to tackle new fixer-upper projects. :biggrin: So congrats on the great work, and thank you for the inspiration. ^.^

Amazing work!! I Love Twist!
-
GAH THEY LOOK AMAZING!!! :dribble: especially Twist!! I need to deflock mine asap!!! That's the reason I wanted a deflock Twist army! Because her colour is so vibrant underneath that fuzz! :lovey:

Any deflock tips? I have tried unsuccessfully to deflock my SS Bangles (and don't worry, she was a good deflock candidate to start with). ^^;
-
Ooh, they look wonderful, nice job! You don't happen to still have Twist's original tail, do you?
-
Wow, such a lot of effort has gone into making those ponies look beautiful again. :) You should be very proud of yourself. :biggrin:
-
Wow! They look fantastic. Cupcake is such a pretty pony under that flocking! And Glory is like a different pony!
-
They are stunning! Nice work :biggrin:
-
Wow, awsome work. The ponies look really awsome. :)

Thanks all. Twist was the main reason I wanted to lot. I love how she looks deflocked. :biggrin: Everyone else was sort of a bonus.

Sorry, I don't have her tail. It is hard to tell from the photo, but there wasn't much left of it to begin with though. I used the remnants for a forelock re-hair.

I don't have any particular tips on deflocking. I just use acetone like most of the tutorials floating about. Q-tips help around the detailed areas.
