to rehair or not to rehair

[FullMoonFever]

Ok so I have a Windy Wing with nasty white hair and I think it should be white.  I've already rehaired a different winy wing and she looks lovely.  Should I do it to the others? 

Also I'm looking for some repro wings for a certain yellow Windy Wing, she doesn't have wings at all or the little plug in her back, so she just has a hole.  If anyone knows where I can get repro wings it would be great. I'm not sure of the names.  I honestly don't care about value.  I've had them since high school (I bought them on a Beanie Baby site for 2 bucks each, the person said they were baby flutter ponies.)

I'll put up pics of the Wingers in question

If you think she needs it go for it

Here are the pics of wingers in question.  I actually want to rehair all the ones I haven't yet done because their hair is terrible.

The pony second from the left needs the wings and a new plug, I can make the plug but not the wings.

The ponies on the left have been rehaired with katsilk hair, and I prefer the silky feel to the nylon hair.  I'd like to eventually rehair the rest with katsilk.

Here's the poor winger that has a hole in its back....    He needs help!

I think you should leave the ones with original hair be, it's not hard at all to fix up nylon hair to become beautiful again. For the ones that are already rehaired, go for it.

Well I've given their hair a soak in Aussie 3 minute miracle, all it did was make it slightly soft and smell good. 
After looking at the purple one with blue hair, her hair isn't that bad, but the little yellow one with white hair, ick.  Also I just noticed tail rust.

Not one of those ponies looks like "terrible hair" to me. 
Messy, sure, but far from unsalvageable... that said, they're your property.  If you want to burn them in a barrel, nobody can say boo.

They are your ponies so you should completely do what you want and what makes you happy.

I do agree however that on the photo alone none of the hair looks too bad or something that could not be fixed with work and perhaps some repinking. So if it was me I would go with "to not rehair". But its a very personal decision.

I don't think anyone's mentioned, but if you're looking for repro wings that are very close to an exact match for the originals I highly recommend Daisy Church:

As for the hair... it really looks like they need conditioning, combing, and straightening but it looks far from un-salvageable.  But, as others have said, they are yours to do with as you like.  I'm more one to restore what's there, personally, if I have the chance, but really it's your own ethos that is the guide.

Here's a sample of the replacement wings I got for Cool Breeze.  I'm really happy with them:

I agree that the three with original hair don't look "terrible" to me.   To be honest, I think their hair looks good.  I would brush their hair while it's wetted down with conditioner and then rinse out the conditioner.

I'll see if I can save their hair, pony spa today!

And yes, those wings would be PERFECT!  Thanks for that link.
