Title: How does one remove the tail of a McDonald's Pony?
Post by: gummybuns on November 12, 2017, 06:55:14 AM

Exactly as the title says, my sister wants to customize a generation four Pinkie Pie from McDonald's.. and she wants to sculpt the tail herself...

It looks like you'd have to tear out the tail with some tweezers after cutting it short. Rerooting it with hair, you would have to tie together the hairs with a string and then glue it into the hole. Giving her a sculpted tail would be similar to how people make clay tails and manes for the brushables, I'd imagine.

I don't think the process will be difficult, those are not fixed really well. Maybe just pulling the hair will eventually do the trick. ;)

I just use some pliers and pull. They really aren't glued in that well and the glue is the only thing keeping them in. You can cut the hair if you want before you put it out, but I don't as it gives more to grip onto :) There are so many ways to sculpt a tail though, so I can't give you any advice there.
