The pony used was called "Plumsweet." |
I've re-rooted dolls before, but never any other kind of toy. I thought it would be fun to re-root a My Little Pony toy to look albino. I managed to finish the project in one evening, with the following results. My 4-year-old daughter is enchanted by it, at least. LOL.
I used "Snowflake" nylon doll hair from dollyhair.com for the re-root. This was my first time using nylon hair for anything. I always used saran for doll heads. Nylon is slightly stiffer, but still responded well to a soak in just-boiling water to make it lay flat and behave nicely.
Removing the neck knob was the most difficult part of the project, because it was glued in there pretty well. I had to use an exacto blade/utility knife to cut the neck knob out. Once it was out, though, the tail came out all in one piece. I had to use tweezers to pluck out the original mane, though.
