You need to be really careful when using the flattening iron on tinsel because certain types (the iridescent ones) get melted on them. Those would be the ones on most G3s and G1 brides etc.

However, I´ve had success with hot water and conditioner as well. I wuld condition the hair let it stay a bit, then I´d run it under very hot water (as hot as the tap will go) for a minute or so, then rinse and possibly repeat. This hasn't exactly straightened the tinsel but it has tamed it, as in, it goes together with the hair if you don'T comb too much

I hope this helps ^^ if not, and if you want the tinsel prefect, there are some tutorials here that might help.

I was born in the mid 80s and ponies were by far my favourite toys (even though I had Barbies as well). for some reason my pony love never ceased and I remember having many dreams in my lifetime of being able to find G1s in stores however I never considered actually collecting (even though I still had all my childhood ponies) until I moved to Iceland and saw an add - someone (a member here ^^) was selling a whole bunch of ponies, mostly G1s and I was thrilled!! That kick-started my collecting. that ,and the fact that I can find a lot of ponies in charity stores here.

is it like that on every version of him?

As far as i know it is, I have both the regular one and the Prince version (with tinsel) and they both have such hair

A propos believable fakies, I found one that actually had the Hasbro stamp on her hoof :S so yeah, so much about that
But I do think she would mke a pretty custom, especially if you just rehair her and make a cutie mark ^^

Mine does have his pink stripe faded, but I hope it still counts

Can I see a glittery SHS?

I´m fairly sure this one came with Seaside Celebration Cherry Blossom. Check it out on this page, there are a few pics:

I have that set and your blankie looks like the one I have

anyways, if it is G3 then that explains a bit more how it might have ended up at your place.

Well, I don't collect G4s in general. I went and bought one and still don't really like them. But then I saw blind bags here and just decided to pick a few up, turns out I really like them in person. Then I went and only got the ones I want (using the cheat sheet) and will sell/trade the rest. I am mostly getting the ones which don't exist as proper toys.
