Does anyone have a photo of both a twinkle eye pony with the eye paint intact, and one that's missing it.  For comparison.

I don't think I've ever gotten a TE pony that still had the eye paint.  I'm not even sure I know exactly what they're supposed to look like.

Ok, so here's the story.  One of my students (the human, I'm a dog trainer) found out that I collect MLP and thought my website is neat.  She gave me a bunch of her old toys including MLP and FSF.  She didn't understand the difference between a restoration and a custom and asked me if I'd make her custom versions of her horses.  I told her I'd be happy to give it a try and I let her know I don't consider myself a customizer.  I really prefer to do restorations on G1's, but she's really into 80's toys and I had a yucky condition Blossom so I figured it wouldn't hurt anything.

She has two ponies and two horses.  I'm doing her a custom with a G1 base, G3, and G4, and she wants one of her horses done using a Grand Champion.  The G1 and the G4 are finished.  She likes them so much that she posted them on facebook for her horse world friends to see and now some of them have messaged me asking if I can do similar ones for them.  She thinks I could make some side money off this and wants me to make them and sell them at the horse shows she goes to (she does jumping competitions, it's really a universe I don't know anything about).

Are these good enough for that?  I don't want to get into customizing a lot of G1's, but I really enjoyed making them.  She thinks most of these folks won't know the difference between a G1 and a G3 and that most of them will want Grand Champion customs.

Here's some photos:

I'm just curious what other folks long term goals are.  I like to buy ponies cheap then fix them up.  I'll be happy if I have a few of them with me in when I'm in a nursing home (and my lavender dream castle, can't live without that).  I don't expect that my kids or grandkids would care much about them (if I ever have any).

Some people like to customize, some like to treat the ponies as museum pieces, some do restorations, and some want to get every pretty pony.

I'm just curious what it is you all would like to see for your own collections down the line.
