Seeking Your Broken Ponies
« on: February 26, 2014, 07:49:40 AM »
I found a second-wave McDonald's Rainbow Dash toy in the dirt near the curb in someone's yard in my neighborhood, her tail torn out, her wing cut off, and her left hind leg barely attached. It appeared the brave mare had lost a fight with a lawn mower. I brought her home and tried to decide what to do with her. She was beyond repair, and I had limited options as far as customization due to the lost wing. I was originally going to make her into a custom Morning Glory from Fallout Equestria, but it occurred to me that Daring Do might be a more popular choice. I know in the episode it was her other wing that was injured, but the lawn mower had already made the design decision for me. :p

Since doing this custom, I've been wanting to find more broken or destroyed toys to bring back to life, but toys in this bad of condition usually end up in the trash, not thrift stores. So if you have or happen upon any toys in really hopelessly awful condition, please think of me and send them my way. I had so much fun with this one, I'm pretty sure this is my favorite kind of customizing job. ^^

Awww, good job!  I have a soft spot for torn up toys as well, glad you're going to give them new life.

If you ever find any, let me know! They're so hard to find because, like I said, most people would just throw them in the trash. Not me! ;D

I regret having not taken a before picture for this one, but if I get any more I will definitely be doing that!
