I'd leave it how it is in almost every case, I'd only consider de flocking if there was a huge area where it's already rubbed off. It can be cleaned gently, and if there was a stain I'd try to sun fade it out or live with it if the flocking is still nice. So there would probably have to be more de flocked area than flocked to make me de flock one
I have a little group I'll deflocking now (as time permits) due to their symbols being painted on...Apparently some little one got frustrated not seeing the symbols clearly, and so decided to literally paint them on over the flock! I tried soaking and water/soap but the paint seems very well set. The ponies are lovely, though!I too feel the pull of preserving the flocked versions, but I do hate how the glue yellows :/. I'll deflock if it ruins my enjoyment of the pony.
Since I was a kid, preferred deflocks. I shaved my Magic Star. Didn't like the faded yellow ... the flocking came off the corners of her hooves and I saw the vibrant color underneath.
Surprise is another one I wouldn't bother deflocking since she already has a NSS version. But anyway, when I deflocked I usually used acetone. You don't dip the pony in it, you put some on a cotton ball or whatever and gradually scrub away the flocking. IIRC I used a bucket of hot water, too. Acetone the pony for a bit, dunk it in the hot water to get rid of loose flocking.
