I had the time to do some more g3s this week! I'm wondering if I should keep doing more g3s or if I should do other gens. And if I do other gens, if I should add a bit more variety and make a different lineart for each? (since everyone in g4 has different hair styles, I'd need to change the lineart anyway so I was thinking of whether to keep this base or make a new one entirely)

Also, thank you Griffin and YasuSuga!

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  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

I'm think it's probably just highlighter, marker, or something else that stained her, not mold or fungus. It might have been food too (that color reminds me of my school's chili! Lol ) I'm leaning towards highlighter if it's neon. Try washing her first and see if that helps. You can try a magic eraser next. Then I would recommend nail polish remover, but be careful as it will remove paint (symbols, blush, eyes). If none of those work, try sunfading.
http://www.mlppreservationproject.com/body.html#SunFading This is a good tutorial

I also want to say that you should NEVER use harsh chemicals like bleach on ponies! Bleach will, well, bleach a pony and other things can do bad things such as acne creams which will make white blotches appear that can spread to where you didn't even apply the cream and can spread to other ponies as well! What gave you the idea of using bleach? Just curious.

For the possible age spot on her leg (I use the term age spots because cancer can offend some people) there isn't much you can do. Sunfading doesn't really work. You could paint over it if you want.

Thank you! It's in such a small area and there's not really any other markings so it seems a bit weird to me if it was just highlighter, plus she has some pretty significant tail rust so I was worried about fungus or mold being on the inside. I'll find out for sure when I open her up to clean out the rust, but hopefully it really is just marker ;w;

I could've sworn I saw at least one website/tutorial say to use bleach, but I can't find it in any of the sites I have bookmarked. Must have been a bad tutorial D:

Also, I'll be calling them age spots from now on! To be honest, I'm pretty uncomfortable with calling it pony cancer myself, but it's the only thing all the tutorials and websites I found called it so I wasn't sure what else to use. Age spots is a much better name. The mark is really small, so I think I'll leave it alone unless it gets bigger in the future

Thank you, everyone! I'm so glad people like him ;__;

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!
