G1 Cheerilee, Pinkie Pie customs (planning)
« on: April 29, 2014, 04:24:12 PM »
Hi ladies, I have the following baits to make Cheerilee and Pinkie Pie

UK snowflake with no symbol
Lickety Split with faded hair
Cherries Jubilee with no symbols and general murk

plus Rit-Dye in Fuschia pink.

I was first thinking to use Snowflake to make Cheerilee (body already dark) and CJ to make Pinkie Pie (I think the shades of body and hair should match pinkie's when combined with this dye).

Buuut then  look at Lickety Split and think she is so pink, pretty and bouncy she could also be used to make either of the two. It would take more work than with Snowflake to get her to a dark pink like Cheerilee. Alternatively, to make her like Pinkie I was thinking I might have to buy Petal Pink and combine with the Fuschia to get closer to Pinkie's bright shade and it also might be hard to get her hair dark enough. But she would look cute as Pinkie Pie!

At this stage I can't re-hair ponies so this is why I'm looking at dunking them in dye :)

I know it's not considered cool by everyone to customise G1s but I've been thinking about this for ages. Cheerilee and especially Pinkie Pie are irreplaceable in my head canon and I really want G1 dolls to represent them and fit in with the rest of my collection. So I went after the perfect baits on ebay. Lickety-Split I guess could be restored by re-pinking but for me, she's common enough I don't think anyone will miss her.

If anyone has any thoughts on which pose to use or the ethics I'd love to hear them.

IMHO I think lickety splits pose would be more pinkie-esqe than CJs pose. And shes more a pinkier pink where as Cj is more peachy. (if any of that makes sense)
