Glad I am not the only one who feels a bit sad about customizing G1's.I just hope it is not done too much. Same goes for rehairs...and I mean rehair that makes the pony look completely different then what she should look like. I really don't like it. People who rehaur Ponies to look completly different and then try to sell them...To me it is just weird to see a pony like for example Big Brother Steamer with neon green hair, twice the lenght that it should be with weird curls. It is just not appealing to many people. Just leave the poor Pony be!!!!!I have nothing against a professional looking rehair that actually uses the same hair as the original. In order to restore her natural looks.Not trying to restrict people from being creative. I just don't like to mess with the originality of Ponies. Hence I am a picky collector. Especially when it comes to flocking or hair.
I always think flocked ponies were made with two lives (like cats have 6? xD) just cause once their flocking gets all gnarly, you can strip it off of them and they look like a brand spanking new pony right out of the box!

Especially when it comes to flocking or hair.The Magic Star looks great! Good job!I got a lot of So-softs recently, a Shady and North Star in very poor condition. Shady is almost done, and North Star is coming along. I already had duplicates of these ponies so I went for it. poor North Star was filthy - and her flocking was coming off.I'm in this boat too w Pierlala.... I just ordered a big order from DollyHair to fix some ponies I got -- a flat foot Blossom w no tail and a bad haircut, several baby ponies with no tails or cut trails... their bodies are completely fine, but the hair is gone to the point I can't live with it. I guess my passion is restoring. But, I do have some true bait ponies in my stash right now. A horribly pin-dotted newborn twin with giant chunks of its face missing, a Cloud Puff with a bad haircut and awful regrind........still on the fence as to what to do with these. But I guess I'll decide once I finish up the first round of restorations.
She looks amazing, and so much happier now without all that patchy flocking! I'd love to try reflocking as well some day, but for now, I feel like deflocking is the way to go on some of these poor girls.
