WIP: Plastic-mane Celestia rehaired with thread and needle method

[Dee_Kary]

Yet another Celestia custom rambling thread by me! Sorry y'all!

This time I got commissioned to do another Celestia, and got the plastic-mane version for bait. I didn't want to go through the hassle of doing my method with krazy glue (not after being spoiled with the brushable Celestia version!) so I chose to experiment with this Celestia!

While cutting Celestia's horn from the same version of Celestia for another custom I found out her head is hollow and soft... so I caved in to curiosity and beheaded her. Guess what I found!?

A PLUG.

Celestia's head could have been able to move if it wasn't because her whole neck is glued! 
That means I could make this Celestia's head move! YAY!
(Well, not this time, because I ignored the existence of this plug, so I ended up almost chopping it by the time I removed the head  so she will have her head glued still again this time... but one day! *shakes fist*)

So anyway, after I found out about this, I thought "Well, she has a hollow, soft head and a neck plug, all she's missing is hair plugs!". Idea!

Like the old saying tells: "If you can't find a path, make your own!"

So I started poking the head with the needle, and went back to doing some good ol' thread and needle rehairing! 

This is what I've got so far:

Hope this helps anyone wanting to customize the plastic-haired Celestia but couldn't figure out a way to rehair safely . If this has already been posted or known, I'm sorry for the ramble  I just got super excited with not having to deal with glued fingers!

Oh wow.  That's got to take HOURS.  I seriously don't know how you customizers do it.

That's truly awesome! Xxx

Another way to put it is "don't tell us we can't do something.  We'll figure a way."  Very cool.

Awesome!  Thank you so much for sharing your "secret"!  I'll have to try this out!
