Do you mean Benzoyl or hydrogen peroxide cream? Benzoyl should never be used on ponies 😥. If youre using hydrogen cream i apologize for pointing it out but its worth making sure for your ponies sake, and so no one misunderstands and uses Benzoyl. Vinyl is porous and Benzoyl cream stays inside the pores so the pony will continue to beach in the years to come and it will leech out and stain other ponies this one comes in contact with. A lot of collectors wont even take a pony thats had acne cream on it bc itll ruin other ponies. I myself would never refuse a pony bc they deserve love but it would need to be wrapped up seperate. Acne cream should only be used on natural tone doll faces, as it is a different type of vinyl and colorant than that. Acne cream bleaches out all synthetic coloring and dyes, so any plastic colored with dyes such as my little ponies should not be bleached with acne cream. It bleaches out the ponies dye as it sees it as a stain and will continue to do so until its covered in white splotches. Plastic colored with pigment such as natural skintone barbies are safe to use bc there is no dye. Dolls such as monster high with rainbow colored skin cannot. The safest way to use peroxide with ponies is liquid hydrogen peroxide, oxi clean, or hydrogen peroxide cream but ive never tried the cream i couldnt give any personal experience advice with that. You could soak your ponies in the solution inside for a time and it will help remove any stains, mold, and bacteria. Or place it in the solution then place the tub outside for UV, im not sure how long a UV lamp would take, most likely significantly shorter so I would be careful.These methods do not continue to whiten ponies as acne cream does. The only things to note when using hydrogen peroxide, it may make the vinyl more firm if you use it for extended periods of time, should not be used on neon hair as it will cause the dye to leak out, and will remove the shine from glitter cutie marks or tinsel hair. Again, you may be using hydrogen, I just wanted to make sure to keep yours and everyones ponies safe. Thank you for caring for this pony ❤ (Edit: i found the 40 cream in the description, sorry!! I'll still leave the comment up in case anyone gets confused which it is. Thank you again for caring for this sweet peachy ❤)

I feel like watching toy story so many times in my life. I like to believe that the toys do come alive in some ways when where not looking, but thats just me.
@@mc.gemstone Especially when the toys are well cared-for or, as in this case, lovingly-restored after years of neglect. I like to imagine the toys being thankful for the attention & care shown to them this way.
I'm really surprised about how good the symbols/eyes were underneath that paint! I would've expected it to be chipped or smudged if someone painted her but she looked pretty good, considering. And yes, those pink spots could be removed. You'd need to sunfade them, which takes time, but it's possible.
Maybe the little girl who owned her was going through a grunge faze. That would have been early 90s right about when MLP G1 went out and Grunge and punk was in.

I've had Peachy in my collection since I was 6 years old, and she's always been one of my favorites. This warmed my heart so much, to see her come back to life. Thank you for rescuing her! :D
Did you see the newest ones, G5? They are... not the worst generation, at least :P I also prefer G1, but maybe because those are the ones I had when I was little.
I've seen the G5 trailer and let me tell you- I damn freaked out. I just don't like how it looks and the story plot isn't really good. Out of all generations, I prefer G4 though the newer seasons have decreased in quality.
Yeesh, if this was originally supposed to be a repaint, lord only knows what the finished product was supposed to look like!!! Great job on bringing poor Peachy back from the brink!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@CHLOCHLOLP I'm a little late, but the white one with strawberries you're describing just might be Sugarberry! In case you wanted to try and find her again :)

I recently got my hands on a vintage starshine pony, i've been too scared to clean her and mess something up so she's just sitting on my shelf looking like she played in some dirt, but after seeing this i feel more hopeful that i can clean her up just fine!
Yay! Go for it! I' would love to the the before and after if you share it somewhere :) Let me know if you have any questions too, happy to help (easier through instagram/FB).
Im sorry but watching a decapitated Peachy get her tail hair pulled through her neck was mildly traumatizing xD you've done a beautiful job bringing her back kudos to you!
Thank you 😊😊 I hate thinking how many (plastic) toys end up in the trash when they can be made look almost like new - or not too new but with some personality ;) I also try to reuse and recycle materials whenever possible, but I'm learning how to that better!
Thank you SO MUCH 😊😊I make the videos over several days, they are a great break from working at the computer. I definitely recommend it, the materials are easy to find!
That's a great thing. I wasn't too careful with mine and I had to buy a lot of them once grown up. I don't have any of my mom's toys but my sister inherited her doll and she had it professionally restored, it looks so pretty now 😊
I'm really glad you enjoy them! Ponies are quite easy to clean and repair, vinyl is a very friendly material. It's also a really therapeutic activity, should you ever want to give to a try 😁 (I don't collect much myself, I like repairing them and giving them to kids)
I have an old mlp figure i attempted to repaint a few years ago.. i never figured how to take off the acrylics i painted it with but this video gave me hopes lol
Definitely! Acetone is a good way to remove acrylics but they will also remove most paint so avoid symbols and eyes! Soaking in hot water helps a lot too, and nails are a great tool 😆 Feel free to ask me any questions if you get stuck (you can message me on Instagram)
Warm water, soap and a toothbrush!! Just be careful to not let water sit inside the pony or mold/rust can grow inside. Your best bet is to take off the head and take out the tail while cleaning it, and letting both parts of the body dry completely before putting them back together. Acetone-free nail polish remover is great if the paint is really stubborn. Just make ABSOLUTELY SURE the bottle says acentone-free, because if it has acetone you will wipe the original eyes/symbols right off.
This gave me life!!!! 1980s my little ponies for ever!! I am sorry but those are the ones I grew up on and I loved them dearly, I am not at all fond of the current abominations. This was so wonderful to look at. thank you for the video.
This makes me feel happy because it shows even if a vintage thing like this is completely messed up it doesn't need to be thrown away, someone out there might enjoy fixing it up! And then someone can have a cool vintage toy 🧸
I feel you. Although I was lucky enough to have one pony (gift from my lovely grandma), my neighbour had like 20... all in different colours; unicorns, pegasus(es?), rainbow manes. You should get one now, Peachy is actually very easy to find and goes for around $5-$10.
@@ArgentoFan Enjoy one yourself while you "keep them safe" for your grandchildren ;) I'm more on the "vintage side of age" and very proud of my toys :P

Having grown up with the OG Ponies and the toys all over my bedroom its so heartwarming tomsee Peach back to her former glory, she was always one of my faves!!
I really could have used this video a couple years ago when I got a bag of vintage MLPs. I’m glad it’s out there now though. Great job with the restoration!
@@RetroGeekCrafts I hope so too but my collection may be a bit out of control at this point! Lol! Still looking for my “holy grail” pony though… so who knows!
This video popped up in my recommended out of the blue and honestly, watching it was really fascinating and genuinely kind of therapeutic! Peachy came out great and it was so interesting to see your process when it came to fixing her, it almost makes me want to try toy restoration myself someday o: That being said, that custom painted look before you cleaned her up looked absolutely wild. That earthy colour palette makes me wonder what her original owner had in mind for her!
Haha thank you 😊😊 I'm glad you came across it and found it therapeutic! Someone mentioned a "battle horse" effect made by a brother and I think that's a possible explanation! You should definitely try toy restoring, there are lots of them in need of care, and it's a really satisfying hobby! Feel free to contact me if you ever have quesitons 😊
Thank you so much for watching! Peachy is adorable, I love the colours. This is still my favourite restore because I had no idea what was underneath the paint!
I'm not really in the right time born As since i was born in 2007 But as soon i saw the old ponies i fell in love with them The quality is much better and the characters designs and personalitys also I do think that the old ponies are better than the ones we have nowadays
I grew up with the G1s (they were very expensive so I only had one) but I agree that they are the prettiest. I don't mind G4s, but G2s... just.. not for me :P Confession: I never actually saw the cartoon!
Your work is beautiful! But I'd like to ask you about the hair that you use. I've rerouted liddle kiddles and some other dolls. I think that we use the same replacement hair. How do you get the hair to stay curled without doing a boil perm? I've always had to boil perm it to keep the hair curled. Does yours uncurl?
Thank you 😊 I use two types of hair: Nylon and acrylic. Acrylic (the one used here) doesn't stay curled for long, unless boiled, like you mentioned. Nylon is much easier to do, I honestly just use hot water and leave the hair in the curlers for at least 24 hours. Most nylon hair I use is from DollHairEmporium (UK) or ShimmerLocks (USA). It's thinner. Maybe that's the difference?
My moms preschool had a huge set of these old ones to bring out ONLY on rainy days to play with under the overhang and those are some of my best memories playing with ponies with the sound of the rain all around 🥰 She looks much happier after, just how i remember.
I didn't know you could do that with peroxide cream! (I have some at home because I bleach my hair) I'll try to keep it in mind for if I ever need to clean something like that :)
Yes, peroxide cream is super effective! Just be careful not to apply it to the hair because it can damage the colour. For vinyl, it really is a miracle solution. Thank you so much for watching the video :)
Watching this video was like unlocking some long forgotten memory. I had the same pony when I was a child (even though I don't know how 1980s My Little Pony showed up in mid-2000s Poland). I really liked it but when I got older I passed it down to my younger cousins. Thank you do much for this video. It brought a lot of memories of the good old days
I'm so glad you liked it, thank you so much for your comment 🥰😊 I wonder how the ponies got there in 2000s, was yours second hand? But I'm happy they did, eventually, and that she gave you so many good memories 💕
I love your videos! You deserve more subscribers, you helped me a lot with restoring some vintage ponies I have , since they need different treatment than dolls ! :))
Thank you so much! I'm really glad the videos inspired you with your restorations :) I haven't done many dolls but I know for example that it's common to use zit cream. Which, if used on ponies, can stain the plastic for ever!
I have a flutter pony Found it somewhere around a abandoned building It does have clay in the eyes The hair is in perfect condition but might re do it It got paint on it Any tips on how to remove the clay?
It is tempting, but there's also so much hair you can fit in the original little holes before they risk breaking. The worst case scenario is when the holes merge together and the hair becomes loose. Risks :P (bubt yeah, I am tempted!)
Thank you so much :) Did she have purple body or purple hair? She might have been Blossom (purple body) or Glory (purple hair, I made a video of her too).
@@RetroGeekCrafts body her body was purple, cant remember her hair color but l know she was purple and same shape head l was 90s kid and it was my One of the favorites toys, l love horses 😄 and she smeled so good dont know why but she had good smell, l was wierd kid 😄😄😄
It's such a pleasure to watch collectibles being restored.I didn't collect My Little Ponies,though I was gifted the little baby Mer-ponies ages ago,and wish I still had them.They were so cute! I'm sure it's very satisfying for you to use your artistic talents to give these Ponies and action figures new life.I'm impressed by your customs as well!
the Paint looks like it was a pain to remove, but on the bright side, it looks like it protected her pretty peach color from sun fading! she looks just as good as new
I have no idea how I got here, but all the same that was incredibly satisfying to watch. I can only hope the MLP's that were the unwilling subjects of my early childhood artistic training eventually ended up in such caring restorative hands. :P
I have had a lot of luck using rubbing alcohol to remove paint from toys that have had a makeover. It is not as strong as acetone and I have never had It remove factory paint. Also great rescue! :D
@@RetroGeekCrafts still, this is a one kind mlp g1 pony fully restored and somehow in a „fluttershylike“ look. This one is special, because it had gone trough much to get back to its glory again
Dried acrylic paint doesn't wash off in water. I learned that the hard way xD It flaked off, because there was no proper base coat underneath, and material the toy was made off, is luckily not the one acrylic like to stick on. Water with soap however, works perfectly with wet acrilic paint.
I understand your pain xD If you leave it under hot water, the acrylics are not good quality and there is no other paint underneath it's mostly okayish... We have learned our lesson :)

I really could have used this video a couple years ago when I got a bag of vintage MLPs. I’m glad it’s out there now though. Great job with the restoration!
Thank you 😊☺️ Maybe you'll come across a new bag some day!
@@RetroGeekCrafts I hope so too but my collection may be a bit out of control at this point! Lol! Still looking for my “holy grail” pony though… so who knows!
this randomly showed up on my reccomended and im not complaining- im really invested in this for some reason
I'm glad to hear that! Thank you for your ocmment 😊
Stop, this is so wholesome!
LOL thanks 😊
Was not expecting to spend my evening watching my little pony toys be restored, but you know, life doesn't always go the way you expect it.
Thank you so much for your message 😊 (I hope you enjoyed them!)
@@RetroGeekCrafts I am definitely enjoying them!
This video popped up in my recommended out of the blue and honestly, watching it was really fascinating and genuinely kind of therapeutic! Peachy came out great and it was so interesting to see your process when it came to fixing her, it almost makes me want to try toy restoration myself someday o:
That being said, that custom painted look before you cleaned her up looked absolutely wild. That earthy colour palette makes me wonder what her original owner had in mind for her!
Haha thank you 😊😊 I'm glad you came across it and found it therapeutic! Someone mentioned a "battle horse" effect made by a brother and I think that's a possible explanation! You should definitely try toy restoring, there are lots of them in need of care, and it's a really satisfying hobby! Feel free to contact me if you ever have quesitons 😊
When I was a little kid my mom would never let me treat my toys like this, glad to see her restored.
Same here. Now my childhood dolls are beautiful!
This is beautiful! It’s giving me lots of memories! 💗
I'm so glad it does and that you enjoyed the video :) Thank you for watching!
I can still feel the little dent in the hooves under my fingers - such a strong sense memory! great work on the restoration!
Absolutely. I had one pony and I loved it to bits. You're so right about the hooves 😊😊
Amazing work 👏
Thank you so much 😊
This feels a less cinematic and more wholesome version of the restoration scene from Toy Story 2.
Hahaha thanks :)
Great video! I found you through a FB ad. Subscribed and looking forward to more videos!
Thank you! There's a new restoration video coming tonight :)
Awesome! I got this exact pony from my mom, it looks awesome to see people care for vintage dolls.
Thank you 😊😊 I'm really glad you enjoyed the restoration!
Omg I love this video you did such a great job! Also peachy is the best, You made her look spectacular! Makes me want to go buy my own peachy 😄
Thank you so much for watching! Peachy is adorable, I love the colours. This is still my favourite restore because I had no idea what was underneath the paint!
Great job. The Fausticorn would be proud.
Thank you 😊😊
I'm not really in the right time born
As since i was born in 2007
But as soon i saw the old ponies i fell in love with them
The quality is much better and the characters designs and personalitys also
I do think that the old ponies are better than the ones we have nowadays
I grew up with the G1s (they were very expensive so I only had one) but I agree that they are the prettiest. I don't mind G4s, but G2s... just.. not for me :P Confession: I never actually saw the cartoon!
@@RetroGeekCrafts G3 is my favorite.
These doll restoration videos are so calming and addictive!
Thank you 😊😊 I'm really glad you enjoy them!
Your work is beautiful! But I'd like to ask you about the hair that you use. I've rerouted liddle kiddles and some other dolls. I think that we use the same replacement hair. How do you get the hair to stay curled without doing a boil perm? I've always had to boil perm it to keep the hair curled. Does yours uncurl?
Thank you 😊 I use two types of hair: Nylon and acrylic. Acrylic (the one used here) doesn't stay curled for long, unless boiled, like you mentioned. Nylon is much easier to do, I honestly just use hot water and leave the hair in the curlers for at least 24 hours. Most nylon hair I use is from DollHairEmporium (UK) or ShimmerLocks (USA). It's thinner. Maybe that's the difference?
Aw I loved seeing her show up as you cleaned. She's still in there!
I'm very glad you enjoyed the video 😊😊
Does anybody else really want an old My little pony now?
I always want more! 🥰💸💸
She looks so much happier!!
Thank you 😊
It looked like peachy rolled in mud, dirt, leaves, moss, grass, ripped her hair out and never took a bath
LOL pretty much! xD
Poor sweet pony, the after is beautiful!
This is so cute
She is very cute :) I have her by my monitor now because I love thinking about the before-after difference!
My moms preschool had a huge set of these old ones to bring out ONLY on rainy days to play with under the overhang and those are some of my best memories playing with ponies with the sound of the rain all around 🥰 She looks much happier after, just how i remember.
Oh wow, that sounds like such a beautiful memory (I love rainy days). Thank you so much for sharing it 😊😊
yes that is indeed peachy
And she was quite intact underneath the paint!
Goodness, she looks beautiful!!! Amazing work restoring her!!!
Thank you very much! :) :)
I didn't know you could do that with peroxide cream! (I have some at home because I bleach my hair)
I'll try to keep it in mind for if I ever need to clean something like that :)
Yes, peroxide cream is super effective! Just be careful not to apply it to the hair because it can damage the colour. For vinyl, it really is a miracle solution. Thank you so much for watching the video :)
Watching this video was like unlocking some long forgotten memory. I had the same pony when I was a child (even though I don't know how 1980s My Little Pony showed up in mid-2000s Poland). I really liked it but when I got older I passed it down to my younger cousins. Thank you do much for this video. It brought a lot of memories of the good old days
I'm so glad you liked it, thank you so much for your comment 🥰😊 I wonder how the ponies got there in 2000s, was yours second hand? But I'm happy they did, eventually, and that she gave you so many good memories 💕
I love your videos! You deserve more subscribers, you helped me a lot with restoring some vintage ponies I have , since they need different treatment than dolls ! :))
Thank you so much! I'm really glad the videos inspired you with your restorations :) I haven't done many dolls but I know for example that it's common to use zit cream. Which, if used on ponies, can stain the plastic for ever!
Happy for her glow up, she's looking a whole lot happier.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it 😊😊
I have a flutter pony
Found it somewhere around a abandoned building
It does have clay in the eyes
The hair is in perfect condition but might re do it
It got paint on it
Any tips on how to remove the clay?
I would first try with hot water. Try not to rub too much though, because the paint might come off too. Soaking is safer :) That was a lucky find!!
I had some of those as a kid. Never realized it was the same as the My Little Ponies today
Yes! It's the first generation :) This one, for example, was the inspiration for Fluttershy!
What did they do to you peachy? I’m glad you went to the vet.
Haha thanks ☺️ I think she was a work in progress, maybe a camouflage custom to be?
@@RetroGeekCrafts Thanks for the heart I will treasure it dearly
This is so wholesome. I’m completely emotionally invested in the outcome. I thought it was an Applejack pony first.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊 Thank you so much for watching!
I know this is a restoration and not a diy project but id have added more hair to the maine bc I love lots of hair to style lol.
It is tempting, but there's also so much hair you can fit in the original little holes before they risk breaking. The worst case scenario is when the holes merge together and the hair becomes loose. Risks :P (bubt yeah, I am tempted!)
when i was a kid i had same shape ponie in purple color and i loved it so mutch , nice work i love it
Thank you so much :) Did she have purple body or purple hair? She might have been Blossom (purple body) or Glory (purple hair, I made a video of her too).
@@RetroGeekCrafts body her body was purple, cant remember her hair color but l know she was purple and same shape head l was 90s kid and it was my One of the favorites toys, l love horses 😄 and she smeled so good dont know why but she had good smell, l was wierd kid 😄😄😄
@@TheEigylyte Sounds like Blossom, you can get her today for relatively cheap and there is also a new reissue. I liked the smell too I remember :)
amazing! maybe try pencil ringlets for the fringe next time to avoid any crimping
That's such a good idea!!! Thank you!!
It's such a pleasure to watch collectibles being restored.I didn't collect My Little Ponies,though I was gifted the little baby Mer-ponies ages ago,and wish I still had them.They were so cute! I'm sure it's very satisfying for you to use your artistic talents to give these Ponies and action figures new life.I'm impressed by your customs as well!
❤
❤❤
the Paint looks like it was a pain to remove, but on the bright side, it looks like it protected her pretty peach color from sun fading! she looks just as good as new
У меня такая пони валяется в ящике. Нафиг не нужна.
I couldn't translate one of your words but I understand you have this pony in a drawer. I hope it's in better condition that mine when I started :)
Thank you for giving this toy a second chance 🥺💖
Thank you so much for watching 😊😊
She looks a lot like Fluttershy lol.
She does! Fluttershy is my favourite G4 :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts I have always liked Rainbow Dash but now I like Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy lol
Fluttershy was based off of Posey from G1
This makes me think of toy story 2 where the guy fixes woody, this video has the same energy and I love it 👌🏻
I'm very glad you enjoyed it :)
To me this is quite an interesting process, I am SO GLAD you restored this MLP gen 1 figure
I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😊 Thank you for watching!
I have no idea how I got here, but all the same that was incredibly satisfying to watch. I can only hope the MLP's that were the unwilling subjects of my early childhood artistic training eventually ended up in such caring restorative hands. :P
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 😊 Thank you for your message!
I love how you style the hair! I wish my ponies as a child came with that hair originally hahaha.
The mane must have took awhile.. good job! Peachy looks great!
I use a differetn type of hair now (vinyl instead of acrylic) and is muuuch easier to do :)
She looks brand new! This is just amazing!
Thank you 😊😊
I have had a lot of luck using rubbing alcohol to remove paint from toys that have had a makeover. It is not as strong as acetone and I have never had It remove factory paint. Also great rescue! :D
I still have to try alcohol! Thank you for the tip 😊
I don't know why I'm here but watching the paint be removed was satisfying
Thank you for being here :) (and I'm glad you enjoyed it!)
The pony looks so much happier after the restoration! 😊
Thank you 😊😊
Wow. The patience you have. Looks really good.
Thank you! 😊
She must feel sooo much better after your beauty treatment!
Thank you 😊😊
This is an amazing work well done. I bet peachy is now worth at least 600 dollars after that recovery. Looks like brandnew out of factory
Thank you 🥰😊 Actually, Peachy is a very common pony and this one doesn't have the original hair. It would be lucky to reach $8 or $10 ☺️
@@RetroGeekCrafts still, this is a one kind mlp g1 pony fully restored and somehow in a „fluttershylike“ look. This one is special, because it had gone trough much to get back to its glory again
@@Kinsanth_ Thank you ☺️☺️☺️
If you have the peachy that was the companion mini to the original My Pretty Pony, it might be worth more.
Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us. I love your videos.
That poor thing. As a fellow crafty type, thank you for fixing her up
I'm very glad you liked it 😊 Your customs are amazing!! I just subscribed. Nice work!!
@@RetroGeekCrafts thanks so much! Currently changing up my workplace, but stay tuned, nice stuff coming
Dried acrylic paint doesn't wash off in water. I learned that the hard way xD It flaked off, because there was no proper base coat underneath, and material the toy was made off, is luckily not the one acrylic like to stick on. Water with soap however, works perfectly with wet acrilic paint.
I understand your pain xD If you leave it under hot water, the acrylics are not good quality and there is no other paint underneath it's mostly okayish... We have learned our lesson :)
