YAY!!!  She is rehaired, trimmed, styled, painted, and nearly ready to go!  She needs a bit of ModPodge and then I need to pack her up

MAGNET MAGICS

Oh, it was a trick   I'm quite proud of figuring out how to get that darn thing in there.

Do you see the second picture, where I've got a silver magnet sitting on her eye?  That's the kind I put in her head.  It's the strongest (and smallest) kind that they had at hobby lobby.   I got a little pack of 6, and they are very difficult to pull apart.  When you pull them apart, they will fly through the air to jump back together.  Fun stuff.

I was going to just dab superglue on one side and use forceps to place it in the eye, but It is slightly too large to fit easily through the neck hole.   With the forceps holding onto it, it wouldn't fit through at all!

Instead, I shoved the magnet partially in and lined it up so one side of the magnet was parallel to the eye.  It was sitting on end in the hole, so there was a tiny gap on either side where you could access the face sides of the magnet.   I used a fine pointed tube of superglue to squirt glue on the side of the magnet that was facing the eye. 

Then I got creative - I held the matching silver magnet on the eye, lined up with where I wanted the one inside the head, and then I shoved the magnet the rest of the way through the neck hole, whereupon it promptly leapt right to where I wanted it to be and stuck there. 

After that I squirted some more glue in there, just to be safe, and left it to dry.  The attraction between the two magnets was strong enough to hold it solidly in place while it dried.

 

This is amazing. I'm impressed you managed to do it without gluing the magnet to yourself, I'd have ended up in a complete mess. xD I have seen another pony with a magnet in its head but I can't remember why, such an awesome idea though. I did wonder how getting it in the right place would work, was pretty confused with that - I never thought to put a magnet on the outside till it set. xD

Your glasses look awesome as well, and the eyes are so cute! The regular 'unicorn' eyes bother me cause they're all pretty much the same, but VS's look great! Not sure why Hasbro can't do some unicorns with Pinkie eyes or something.


EDIT:
Just saw the finished pony. Looks great! Honestly I don't think I've ever seen Vinyl Scratch done as nicely as that, well done! You've definitely shown up Hasbro's attempt. xD

   I'm so happy that this custom turned out so well!  It was fun, and starlightcomet sent me an adorable Star Dreams in trade. 

If anyone else wants a Vinyl Scratch like this, I'd be happy to make one in trade for one of the other exclusive ponies, like Daisy Dreams or Rainbow Flash (or one that came in a playset, like Starbeam Twinkle or Star Swirl).

I just love those eyes! Great custom
