Remco Restyle!

[MLP_PreMed]

My first Remco custom! What I've learned:
The pros of rehairing a Remco is the vinyl is very soft. The cons of rehairing a Remco is the vinyl is VERY SOFT!!! Lol My first "oops poops" with a slightly messy head removal. Constant reminder to myself not to jam the needle through the head in the wrong spot on accident. All in all, I enjoyed it. Would do again! Many pics to show my mlp surgery. Note: acetone did great for all but a yellow mark which I believe is a slight color transfer from another toy in it's past storage.*Also some "blue marks" were actually thin imperfections in the plastic where it looks blue because you're seeing through the material. Fascinating!

Aww she turned out lovely. Her hair colors remind me a bit of Locket's.

New Remco discovery! Early 1980s versions are soft, late 80's versions are haaaaaaaaard! So very very firm. Yikes! OMG but I bought an entire lot of them soooooo...
Here we go!
