This My Little Pony Gusty had great hair! The body, however, needed a little care. I cleaned it with soap, acetone and hydrogen peroxide, untangled the hair, and retouched the symbols. For the cutie marks, I used a simple glitter glue and matte protection on top. I also added some new nylon hair because it looked like the pony had lots some strands.
NOTE: This is the first time I speak on a restoration video! Do you prefer it to be only music? Would you like me to explain the steps with voice-over too?
