Pony Corral / Any Concerns for My Restoration Project?
« on: August 23, 2021, 10:59:06 AM »
Hello, everyone!

I recently rediscovered all of my G3 MLP dolls that I had stashed away (yay!). Unfortunately, I forgot about the very fun time that me and my sister had pretending they were superheroes and drew all over them with markers (not yay!).

Fortunately not all of them are marked up, but the ones that are, hoo boy >_< :

Other than the marker, they are all in very good condition despite being played with (I like to chalk it up to all the "spa days" we gave them!) and the only one I feel like I'm really going to have to perform major surgery on right now is poor Flower Garland, who is leaking plasticizer and has been quarantined. There are also one or two others who will need to be beheaded for tail rust removal.

I don't remember for sure but I'm fairly certain that I've tried to clean off the marker with acetone in the past without any luck, but this may have changed in the decade and a half or so since this has happened. I know that some of the marker has faded considerably despite being stored in a cool, dark place. I've gotten the supplies for sunfading, Oxyclean for deep cleaning, and have experience customizing G4 MLPs, but I wanted to check here first to see if anyone has extra info for me!

I've made a list of my victims ponies below with their major ailments, and am mainly concerned about possible sunburn and/or green hair bleeding.

    Okay, so I have a confession to make - I signed up for this website back in 2015 and am only just getting around to making this post. Just goes to show how time flies!

    My name is Cara and I have been collecting ponies my whole life. My heart is with G3, but I also love the personality and creativity that came from G4.

    While at one point I had a vast empire of equines, I have now just a handful of my most dearly beloved childhood friends. I also enjoy customizing (G4) ponies - I just can't bring myself to touch the now-limited supply of G3s, though I love their design :art:), though I am interested in restoring the ones I do have to their former glory.

    I'm so glad to finally be joining the community!
