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 :
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
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 myvictims ponies below with their major ailments, and am mainly concerned about possible sunburn and/or green hair bleeding.
