G1 Baby Stockings with her symbols bleeding into her body on the DS.

Sent a PM. 

Thank you so much for your advice! I briefly tried a magic eraser, but I'm not sure how helpful it was... should I try dish soap next? I will also try soaking her feet in hot water!

As for the hair, thank you for your tips. I will definitely wash her that way... I'm just super paranoid of getting water inside after seeing the amount of rust in my first restore so I wanted to make sure.

Do you have any tips for a symbol that's bled onto the plastic of the pony? I think her bonnet has bled a little bit. I can get a closeup of it if you'd like.

I really don't like the way G4 ponies only have one or two poses. The reason why I like G1 as much as I do is their poses give hints about their personalities. A ton of ponies just... well... standing straight up in the exact same way doesn't say as much. I also don't like how hard it is for me to get fillies and colts for customizing. I mean it's cool that I can swap heads with bodies (creating alicorns, different eye shapes, etc), but I think I prefer more creative posing in the long run.

I also feel the same way a few do about G4 Pinkie Pie -- she went from a close favorite (3rd place!) to the total bottom. It makes me really sad because her character was so great. So does the fact that most of the merchandise is Pinkie or the princesses. I'd like more Fluttershy and Rarity. I know for a while even finding a basic rarity brushable was nearly impossible. They were going for like $15-20 each.

I think my biggest eBay pet peeve is seeing G3s and G4s in the pre-1990 part of the my little pony tag. I specifically go in there so I can look at the G1s or G2s without getting distracted by the other results.

Oh my word. Those bows are so beautiful! You really did a great job bringing her to life as a G3.

I'm working on my first ever g1 restore ^^

If you like her and want to hold on to her or put her in your collection, I would rehair her however you think it would look best. What you could always do is rehair it in white, but add in a pink streak, similar to what this customizer did to their Posey.
Personally, I think either making a blend of a light pink and white for the mane or adding a pink streak to a white mane will bring out the pink symbols on the pony's side a bit better.

Hey guys, I got a Bouquet Brush N Grow a while back that's dirty (shes dingy and sometimes a bit sticky to the touch), and her hair is a bit matted. The mechanism still works -- her head turns from side to side to wind her tail up, and her tail can be pulled back out after shortening.

I would like to make her bright white again and tend to her hair. However, I'm not quite sure how to approach it. I'm in the process of doing my first restore (Rusty, dirty, tangly haired TE Speedy), but with that, I can remove her head and clean the inside, and I don't have to worry too much about mold. For Bouquet, I'm scared I'll get water inside of her when I wash her hair, and I'm not sure if I should wash her tail fully extended and leave it out for a few days, or what I can do about it so water does not get inside.

I was wondering how you guys recommend going about restoring her, whitening her body, and washing her hair without getting water inside and damaging the mechanism or her symbols.

I really appreciate it, guys. uvu I just want to make sure both of them get the best care I can give them.

bump~
Bouquet's feet are also off balance a bit. I wonder if I can just soak the legs (watching the plug hole carefully) in hot water and reposition.
