To fellow plush collectors, how do you fix eyes?  On my Lofty, I used black permanent marker.  These new guys need some attention too.  What do you recommend?
Also, the plush Cotton Candy has bad hair.  Do you try to straighten similar to a regular ponies hair?  Conditioner and heat iron?

First things first, congrats on your wild finds!  So hard to do now a days and look at your haul! Nice 

I also go with the perm marker for the eyes.  If I ever sell I will disclose that I have done so. I would not do well with paint, and it would look as bad as the scratches.

I have had good and bad times with plush hair. I find that when I straighten the hair with a hot iron on low and conditioner, it gets almost… too straight? It doesn't seem to have the "body" or shine of a plush that has had perfect hair from the beginning, but it will look better then what it was (if I feel I've had to do it).

And there seems to be a difference with ponies as well... my Glory had the most snarled hair I've ever encountered, but with a butt-tonne of  conditioner/fabric softener and an iron on low, it turned out soft/straight enough to be passable, but still not 'shiny'.

My baby Surprise on the other hand, all the conditioner/fabric softener in the world could not make her hair soft. It's still coarse as hell, and after a failed attempt at curling  it, I accepted that it may never be what I want and just braided it.

Good luck with fixing them up.  I sure hope some other Plush collectors comment on this thread so they can give you some good advice, rather than my 'let's see if this works' methods 

My eye is itchy right in the corner by the tearduct.....and the more I rub it out seems to being relief for a minute... but then it itches more....vicious circle 

Dancing Butterflies was 1 of the 3 TAF I had as a child from this set.   I adore her.

I'm doing it right now... lounging on my deck, drinking a Corona, reading and enjoying the sun. 

Those sparkly bees are super cute!  Great restoration job 

I dunno if this will help you any, but the last one sold I know of was $60 Canadian 

It was a neck-in-neck race...Mimic holds a special place in my heart as she was my last 'childhood' pony... but Masquerade won out.  Her colours, her name, her pose...I love everything about her 

I ate too much at dinner and now have a gut ache 
But the ribs and mushrooms skewers were sooo good, lol.
