Sea shimmer has arrived yesterday, but is still in process, her hair is a mess and she has a lot of dirty inside, so I had to let her in the bath longer than I expected. Pictures will come soon.

I had to bid hard for her...

And now, the best finding on eBay, she was 14$... who would have thought!
She had really messy hair and a few stains, but look now! And her front foot bitten, but who cares?

That's the point, l got them almost as bait for their flocking was not good... so my purpose was to have them to unflock. Haha

Oh wow! I love Scrumptious, she's so precious! I can't wait to see her unflocked. The contrast of hair and body colour must be amazing! And Lofty is one of my favourite So Softs. What an exciting project!

She's turning great, the hair colour is so cool... but deflocking white ponies is always harder... now she's waiting for the last touch ups. But tomorrow, got my thumb hurt in the process lol

Deflocking takes time, and some ponies are harder to deflock than other, Bangles was the hardest until now, and I had to leave some flock on him(yeah I changed his gender too).
OOohhh i can't wait to see the updated after pics!!  Congrats :)
I can post one in between of Scrumptious but it is a bit weird... headless pony.... :cry:
I love deflocks, can't wait to see them finished!
The one I like the most after Ribbons is Twist, the color after deflocking is beautiful:-)

Don't worry I will put pics of them after the process and more pictures of my herd, as I did just before.

scrumptious looks so cute!!! you did a great job with these gals.  i personally don't like ss ponies, i think they have great designs..under all that fluff and puff!

That's exactly my point, they are beautiful, but the flock make them look ordinary, so this is why I love deflocking them so much. Besides many of them don't have the nss version  :cry:

More love for Scrumptious, she's my favourite hands down. And did you try to deflock Lofty, too? I have such a weakness for yellow ponies. Oh, and btw your other ponies are real beauties, too! I'm still looking for my Twilight and would wish I'd come across a Twilight in such a great shape.

I never thought Scrumptious would be so lovely in real. Lofty is in mid process. Her flocking is really glued so it takes more than just hot water and nails scratching. And her hair was awful. So she'll spend the night swimming in fabric softener. I'm looking for a Twilight to... and maybe try to re root an Alicorn I have in project... we'll see. ;-)

New arrival, while waiting for Lofty to be ready, she is more difficult to deflock than the others...

I keep coming back to your thread because I really adore your deflocked ponies so much! How many do you have by now? And which one is your favourite? The pony I would really love to see unflocked is Twilight (though I don't have her - neither the SS nor an unflocked version of her  :huh:). I love her colours so much and I bet she would be even prettier without flocking.
Title: Re: The french collection
Post by: Khayman81 on October 14, 2016, 01:12:02 PM
Thanx!
I've got Ribbon, Bangles, Twist, Bouncy, Magic Star, Shady, Paradise,Lofty and Scrumptious. The ones with great colors like Ribbon or Twist are my favorites. Light colored ponies are harder to deflock. But still I like doing it a lot.
I'm looking for Twilight but she's hard to find. Same for Cupcake. But I will eventually.

Check Ebay for SS Twilight! I saw a couple of her on there recently, and she was selling for a pretty reasonable price!

And be still my heart, is that the French G1 Regular Twilight? I love her light pink color <3

I am bidding for a Twilight lot on eBay but the shipping costs they say there are just enormous, so I'm waiting for an answer from the seller to see if there's some hope...
Regarding the regular twilight she's got Italy marked... so maybe... but her maine and tail are just awful, maybe she'll get rehaired one day, since I tryed the classics and they don't work on her.

Thanx ^^
The best for glue, for deflocking and to take off their heads (sea shimmer had rust inside so i had to take it off to clean her) is really hot water. Be careful not to burn yourself but it works really fine.
Soon I will put pictures of my new rerooting:-)

Moonstone is really pretty like this, and Sunspot is awesome.

The other day I found this 2 gems on a sales site in France, leboncoin, Tickle is gorgeous, and Gustavo is amazing, even if he came home bathing in some goo I don't understand, but after a hot bath it went all away. Now he looks just sooo good, and for almost nothing.

Khayman81 I just used fabric softener on a bunch of ponies both to detangle (really helped with that!) and for leave-in comb-out and both the ponies that had good hair already and the ones that got laundry-detergent flatironed came out looking so much better than before.  I revisited some that I just couldn't get rid of the frizz previously and though they still aren't 100% they are sooo much better too.

And just like you said, I can comb them a lot and they get better instead of worse, and have a nice shine to them and seem so much healthier.  I redid a Sugarberry with dry hair that kept breaking and was coarse and kinky and she is actually almost presentable now.  Instead of having to curl and not touch, I was able to dry more naturally and comb them and I am so much happier with the results, Yay!

thanks so much for the great tip!

Well! Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. And I am glad to see and read that it worked so well with your ponies. Now there's not only my experience with fabric softener.

I've been really struggling to get difficult hair to come out better and I don't know if this is the best way but it helped me do a whole lot better.  I took pics of my after-spa new babies and will put up a brag post tomorrow...I think I'll add the after Sugarberry pics too and, today I got a really, really bad hair horse and I have a really bad hair BaB Fluttershy and I will take before pics then work on them tonight to add them to my new thrift store finds brag post tomorrow with the baby tic tac toe and baby firefly (whose hair was actually pretty good in the first place so they look really good now).

I also finally got some non-mlp playsets for the pic backgrounds so I'll have a little fun with that too.
