I'm glad you had such good helpers, the ponies turned out great! I like getting to see some mishaps along the way to be honest - it's a good learning opportunity and it's nice to see that these things don't always go smoothly. Still, the fact that everything ended up working out for the best is great too! Thank you for sharing 💖
Love when people can share hobbies with their family! I think I'll stick to cable tie method for my ponies, I'd be afraid the string would hold moisture and get moldy 😰
Great to see you back, I just started rewatching your older videos the other day and was pleasantly surprised by this one. It's really cool that other members of your family are into collecting/restoring as well!
Sparkler was part of the inspiration for G4 Rarity. Especially her cutie mark. Aww I want to see meow onscreen. He says “come on, I’m starving here! This bowl won’t fill itself! Move it servant!”
That's so sweet! Now you will think of your sister whenever you look at Sparkler. I had a mistake on my first ever pony restoration. I found a Gusty with good symbols and hair, but she was very yellowed and had some rust beginning. I cleaned the rust and did the UV correctly, covering the hair eyes and symbols with tape. But the tape was not thick enough and some light got to her hair, turning her highlight orange. The eyes are slightly lighter blue too. Oh well. Next time I will use a different tape or tempura paint, and make sure to put paper towel then foil then tape on the hair. Live and learn. I might rehair the highlight someday but it seems difficult.
i love your videos so much they're such big comforts for me. i'm autistic and struggle with depression and i have a large interest in my little pony, so watching these calms me down especially with ur voice overs i think they're one of the best parts :)
i've probably said this before, but thank you so much for adding captions! i am very hearing impaired and not many creators add captions. it really helps and i appreciate it 💚
I'm in the process of my first reservation :D I decided to restore my old childhood pony toy. It looks kind of like a mix between g1 and g2 - I'm pretty sure it's some off brend toy. I thought it would be nightmarish to restore, but turns out it wasn't so hard. Except for the fact that it apparently was rotting. I enjoyed doing it a lot more than I thought I will!
Great job, as always! I think that both ponies would look great with dual-tone hair - that hot pink and green look surprisingly good together - but they look great as-is!
I enjoy restoration videos so much because it makes me feel less like I'm alone in caring about damaged objects that could be fixed if you know how. So often people just break stuff in dramatic ways for content and I've never enjoyed it, so seeing content that is the opposite soothes me. Also, hooray for family content and bonus catte viewing.
Nice to see you again. Great video of you and your family. Had to think about you over the holidays. A friend of mine gave me a "G1" Stranger Things pony for Christmas. Upside Down Apple Jack if you know that pony. Hope you had a great holiday :)
yay, so happy to hear you again!!! this was a very sweet video, i love the way your ponies reflect you two as sisters. looking forward to whenever you get the chance to upload again!! 💕
Aww this most have been such a nice activity to do with your sister an niece. Personally I love the one with the with the pink hair, it pops so nice. But normally green is my favorite color.
i love the g1 variants! the bright colours are soooo pretty and the alternate poses are really fun. i hope i'll find some variants but it's very difficult to find them where i live - i can barely find regular g1 and even those cost a lot :D nice to see you're back!
Do you have any tips for removing highlighter from vinyl? I've tried everything to get it off of the lps I'm trying to restore, uv treatment, soap and water, even tried lemon based on a search result.
i'm so happy to see you back! this vid is SO cute, i absolutely adore the love that went into these customs. the power of family coming together and making cute sentimental projects together!!
I have been checking to see if you posted quite often, just incase I missed you. I think last time you sent a video you said you had moved house. I hope this video is a sign that it went well. Some tiny word of advice when sanding, is that using some small amount of water will prevent the tiny dust particulate floating into the air. It will be an easier to manage paste which can be wiped off. I absolutely love your videos. I know you can be a bit hard on yourself sometimes. Here, your perfectionism has led to a lovely pony sisterhood which seems so appropriate. I would love to be able to see my niece and share this kind of thing with her. Im very inspired. Thank you.
That was very fun! You indeed had great helpers, the results are awesome! I love that you showed the mistakes, it's an important part of the process. Not every thing that is shiny is good for us haha Love the hair! And the elegant and wild sister duo! Thanks so much for the video, hope you are well ^^
Once you fix up symbols, or repainting the pony, do you do a top coat of anything. Or are the paints are pretty good and tend not to flake/rub off over time?
i'm stumped with my pony and i don't know what to do. i have a 1986 sweet tooth pony from hong kong, that my mom used to play with. then i played with it, basically making it an heirloom. it wasn't in too bad of shape before i removed the hair without a second thought. maybe i could have used acetone to get the age spots instead of carving them out with an exacto knife and then filling them with milliput epoxy putty, doubting we currently owned acetone. i used acetone for one spot but it made the pony turn green. i made a DIY UV chamber, which may have needed improvement, and i consistently put the same amount of the same kind of peroxide cream for weeks. i still didn't see any improvement. it's been since november 2022 since i left this poor member of the equestrian family to be left unfinished. it's saddening just knowing that my mom played with this and now i ruined it in an attempt to fix some minor flaws.
Hey, I'm so sorry it took me this long to get back to you. The most important thing to remember is that ponies are always fixable. No matter what you do. I've used milliput for chewed ponies, it works well! You can always paint the pony. Just give it some time and get back to it later, there's no hurry. Have fun and be patient with yourself ☺️❤️❤️
Retro! I am so happy you are back! I was literally checking your page for new videos last night. You are so calming to me, thank you for your videos! I play them to fall asleep. I can't wait to watch this one! I hope you are doing well! :)
i love your videos. for some reason youtube stopped recommending them on my homepage though!! i had to manually come find you again even though i am subscribed. looking forward to your next video :)
youtube's been hiding your videos from me, what a disappointment! I'm very glad this one popped up, even if it's a little late. the cord method looks solid, but I'm still interested to see what you might do with all the cut off strips from the zip ties. A while ago, you mentioned maybe making a hedgehog pony, that would be super cute!
I have a question, is it possible to restore ponies that have mold damage? Not like black spots but mold that makes the plastic dingy and the colors dull.
Hi! The heads do not fall off, they have a border that keeps them securely in place. However, these repaired ponies are more for decoration than for playing, because the glue is not as strong as the factory one.

How cute i loved that the family was involved. Probably one of my favorite videos especially since two ponies in one video.
You’re back! We missed you! Aaand Happy New Year!
So good to see you again! It makes me happy to see that your family shares your love of ponies 🥰
Sparkler was part of the inspiration for G4 Rarity. Especially her cutie mark.
Aww I want to see meow onscreen. He says “come on, I’m starving here! This bowl won’t fill itself! Move it servant!”
That's so cute 😍 I loved the last scene, your niece with the g5 pony is just perfect 🥰
Welcome back! I didn’t know how much I missed your videos. They’re so adorable and soothing. Loved the sister ponies ❤
That's so sweet! Now you will think of your sister whenever you look at Sparkler.

Thanks for the idea to use tempura paint to protect the factory paint while in a UV chamber! I'll have to try that.
i love your videos so much they're such big comforts for me. i'm autistic and struggle with depression and i have a large interest in my little pony, so watching these calms me down especially with ur voice overs i think they're one of the best parts :)
i've probably said this before, but thank you so much for adding captions! i am very hearing impaired and not many creators add captions. it really helps and i appreciate it 💚
I love the ponies with bright, almost neon hair combined with a more muted body color (like this muted blue green). They're just so vibrant and fun.
Their Beautiful.💖 I hope you had a great new year & see you next time.
I'm in the process of my first reservation :D

I love the old My Little pony
Excellent work, Kitty! Making sure the ponies are clean is very important.

Welcome back :D are you going to do anymore historical ponies in the future? They’re my favorite haha
Nice to see you again. Great video of you and your family.
Had to think about you over the holidays. A friend of mine gave me a "G1" Stranger Things pony for Christmas. Upside Down Apple Jack if you know that pony.
Hope you had a great holiday :)
I hope that one day you can do more of the 90s ponys! They have such beautiful eyes! 😍😇😇
Top Toys were just doing their own thing. They did some fun variants with Masters of the Universe, too.
Turned out very cute! How fun that you two Sisters share the love for these Ponys☺️
yay, so happy to hear you again!!! this was a very sweet video, i love the way your ponies reflect you two as sisters. looking forward to whenever you get the chance to upload again!! 💕
Existe una tercer variante Argentina con pelo lila. Saludos. Quedaron hermosos felicidades
Aww this most have been such a nice activity to do with your sister an niece.
Personally I love the one with the with the pink hair, it pops so nice.
But normally green is my favorite color.
It was asking us to pay to get better quality. We had to watch in 360, so it was blurry, but me and my daughter love these videos.
Oh, I didn't know youtube did that! I'm not limiting that in any way, so I will take a look and see what can be done! Thanks for letting me know!
I'm so very happy to see you back! I love how these sisters came out! Can't wait to see more of your amazing work 💗💕
i love the g1 variants! the bright colours are soooo pretty and the alternate poses are really fun. i hope i'll find some variants but it's very difficult to find them where i live - i can barely find regular g1 and even those cost a lot :D nice to see you're back!
Aw this is really cute! Love this channel, pretty positive and all around chill.
Happy new year to the 3 of you 💕
Love watching your videos. They are very relaxing
The video is so cute, you are all very sweet and I'm happy to see you back! You did a great job!
Hi Dolls 👋 glad to have another MLP vid! They turned out fabulous!
So glad you were able to do this with family! Happy New Year!
hello again! its been a bit, but this is such a fun and relaxing video!!! thank you for taking the time to show us these wonderful restorations!!!
So cute! What a nice accident. Glad to see a new video. Hope you all had a lovely holiday!
This is so great. You all are so good with pony restoration. 😁
They both came out awesome! Everybody did great :D
Love watch pony restoration
Thank you so much! 😊😊
OMGGG I MISSED YOU SO MUCH I THOUGHT YOU LEFT UA-cam 😭😻😻
And I love the final result of the ponies! I like the color combination a lot :DD
I just got my sister the new reiteration of my old pony and am thinking to restore my pony so that the two can age well together into the future. ☺
This is so cute! I loved seeing your helpers, and the twin ponies are so sweet.
Thank you so much for your words :) :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts omg hope you're ok, missing your videos!
So good to see you again.
This is so sweet.
I was just watching some old videos of yours wondering when you'd be back with a new project. love the sister ponies idea!
Sparkler's a pretty nice pony, but i don't know why people think she looks like Rarity. I think Glory looks more like Rarity.
Amazing customs!
these came out great :)! Also, I love when you do voice-overs during the video, they are my favorite of all your videos :D
Yay!!! More pony arts!!! I'm so glad to see this! Also glad you had fun. How was your Christmas and New Years?
Do you have any tips for removing highlighter from vinyl? I've tried everything to get it off of the lps I'm trying to restore, uv treatment, soap and water, even tried lemon based on a search result.
This is so cute and it made me so happy.
Welcome back! Great restoration, as always! ✨
i'm so happy to see you back! this vid is SO cute, i absolutely adore the love that went into these customs. the power of family coming together and making cute sentimental projects together!!
That's so sweet. Happy new year!
Is Sparkler the G1 Rarity?
And I love the fact that you got company to restore them ^-^ Hugs from Chile!
They look amazing

Oh how I've missed your content! So happy to see you again! I hope you're doing well and lovely restoration!! 💚💚💚
Yo tengo el de Hong Kong desde que tenía como 8 años,hace más de 30. Es mi pony favorito!!
YAYY i was wishing for another pony restoration video!!
Can you use the peroxide treatment to help flocked ponies? Thank you, your videos are so helpful and i have learned so much! 💕💗❤
Peroxide will take the flocking off as it will melt the glue, it's mild soap and water only for the softies
To follow on moyetlicious, indeed, soap is safer :)
very pretty and cute. happy new year🥰😊💯💖💖💖
I miss your videos! Hope everything's alright, sending love xx
Thank you for your concern. I'm doing well now ☺️☺️
I love the argies. Nice job!
Once you fix up symbols, or repainting the pony, do you do a top coat of anything. Or are the paints are pretty good and tend not to flake/rub off over time?
BABE WAKE UP NEW RGC JUST DROPPED 😭🙌
I really enjoyed this episode!
They look great! Can I ask you, how do you start restoring ponies? I can't seem to find any in need of restoration.
Great video as always 😊 always exciting seeing an upload from you!
I like to watch these videos on 2X speed and listen to something else.
i'm stumped with my pony and i don't know what to do. i have a 1986 sweet tooth pony from hong kong, that my mom used to play with. then i played with it, basically making it an heirloom. it wasn't in too bad of shape before i removed the hair without a second thought. maybe i could have used acetone to get the age spots instead of carving them out with an exacto knife and then filling them with milliput epoxy putty, doubting we currently owned acetone. i used acetone for one spot but it made the pony turn green. i made a DIY UV chamber, which may have needed improvement, and i consistently put the same amount of the same kind of peroxide cream for weeks. i still didn't see any improvement.
it's been since november 2022 since i left this poor member of the equestrian family to be left unfinished. it's saddening just knowing that my mom played with this and now i ruined it in an attempt to fix some minor flaws.

I hope you come back soon! I miss your videos so much!
I am back! 😊😊
Welcome back!! These are both precious! And I didn't know you could do masking with tempera like that! This is a useful trick to know! =^-^=
I somehow missed the original upload!! I’m so excited that you are back again! Hope to see you again as soon as you can!
Nice to see you back, Yisela! Happy New Year!
🥰
Would you ever do a doll restoration on a bratz (btw loved the video so calming)
O no this is too cute!! ❤❤❤
Nice job you guys😊
yes!!! i’ve been waiting for a new upload! :D
Está vez te salió bien cómo siempre
Hi friend!!! Your doing so good!! Keep it up!! 👍🏾💖
Happy New Year! We're glad you're back 💕💕💕💕
So nice to see you back!
great work 👍
Amazing💖😍
So glad you are back. I really enjoy your videos
i love your videos. for some reason youtube stopped recommending them on my homepage though!! i had to manually come find you again even though i am subscribed. looking forward to your next video :)
❤❤❤
Omg it's been so long since you last uploaded
Kitty!!!

WOOOOOOOO!!! so excited to see you back !!!!!!!!!
Question...does the head falls off if you brush it? When you put it back? Does it change?
Hi! The heads do not fall off, they have a border that keeps them securely in place. However, these repaired ponies are more for decoration than for playing, because the glue is not as strong as the factory one.
cool!!
Finally new video!
