Customs / Need help with G4 customising - alicorn rehairing!

« on: June 24, 2014, 10:51:02 AM »

I'm currently trying to make a G4 Princess Luna more show-accurate my making her less purple. I dyed her last night and she took the dye ok, she's a nice shade of dark navy now, not too far off her show colours

as you can see, the dye also gave her goth black hair, since she was in it for so long

but my issue is that I have no idea how to get inside to rehair her without completely messing up her wings. All the other times I've removed alicorn wings they've been a mess afterwards. Does anyone have any tips for removing them but not ruining them, so I can reattach them later?

Customs / Dyeing questions! Help!

« on: January 31, 2014, 08:32:19 PM »

I wanted to try dyeing a custom instead of painting, but I'm a bit nervous. The only white G4 being sold is a unicorn, so if I wanted to dye a pegasus or a regular pony I'd be working over their base body colour. Will that affect the outcome of the dye a lot?

Does anyone have experiences with this they can share? I've only ever painted customs so far and I'm new to dyeing, so please give me any stories or links to tutorials or anything you've got!

Pony Corral / Need help! Looking for info - Russian MLP toy eggs

I'm trying to find more information about a product but I can't seem to find anything. It started with this tumblr post -

Look what I bought today! * O *
Inside were some strange candy and figure Sweetie Belle:3
P.S. they placed on the packaging of my favorite pony! ^ _ ^

I've seen this kind of plastic egg with a toy inside in the UK (where I live) before, so I decided to have a look, but it doesn't seem we have them here. (Or not yet, anyway.) So they might just be available in Russia right now. However, I also haven't been able to find anyone online selling these, or even anyone posting about them. This person's tumblr is the only place I've even seen them mentioned! Which is disappointing, because I love the look of the figures inside and I'd love to get the set!

Does anyone have any info, or any ideas on how to get info?

Pony Corral / Favourite pony?

« on: July 25, 2013, 05:48:49 PM »

I am working on a little project, and for it I need to choose many non-G4 ponies. That is why I would like to ask what is everyone's favourite non-G4 pony?

Preferably I would like ones that have not been characters in any of the cartoon shows. It would also be really good if you could post a picture of the pony too!

Pony Corral / How do you get your ponies?

« on: July 18, 2013, 12:36:49 PM »

As a UK collector, I often get frustrated by how slowly new ponies get released over here - or when we don't get them at all, like the Toys R Us exclusives and such. I feel bad asking American friends to pick up the toys for me, but I figured "hey, a my little pony collector forum probably has threads for people asking to get stuff sent to them, right?" I haven't seen any though!

Anyway, this made me curious how other non-American collectors get their ponies! Do you ask friends to pick them up? Do you trawl eBay for ponies? Have you negotiated the maze that is ordering from Taobao? Or do you check actual stores, hoping for some to have made it to your local shelves? Or maybe something else!!

This is my first time making a thread, so I hope one like this is ok!!

Hello,

I've started collecting and customising ponies since G4 launched and I was advised that this site is great for pony merch collectors, so I made an account. I live in the UK so it can be pretty frustrating when american collectors get the new merch but it's not released here! (I'm looking at you, Zecora and Nightmare Moon toys r us sets!)

I also collect Re-Ment miniatures, Pinky Street dolls and merchandise for games I like, so I'm a bit of a hoarder to be honest... It's a tough habit to break.
