I adore G1 plushies! I have them all but I'm trying to upgrade some of them. I always put them in a pillowcase and wash in the washing machine on gentle, then I stick them in the dryer on super-low heat or whatever setting just blows air over clothes without heating it. Also, to avoid scraping their eyes on the sides of the washer and dryer, I will put them in with, like, a load of towels or something bulky to cushion them if the hit a side. Their hair is a bit wild afterwards but it's never damaged or melted. I just style their hair the same way I do a normal pony - conditioner, combing, ceramic straightener if required.
Well, no, I guess I'm missing one - embroidered Applause Firefly, if she exists, lol!
