1984 My Little Pony G1 Baby Sparkler Argentina Vintage Toy Restoration - MLP Hasbro Top Toys Nirvana

This My Little Pony Baby Sparkler was made in Argentina in 1984 (it’s what’s called a “Nirvana“ pony, in this case manufactured by Top Toys). It made it across the ocean recently alongside some equally damaged siblings. Unfortunately, mistakes were made (by me, naturally!) and the paint got damaged. My faults are my service to other restorers ;D Lesson of the day: Do not use acrylics to protect symbols. Or, at least , don’t use the best quality acrylics in your collection - use cheap, kid-friendly Tempera paint. In any case, even though I seriously decreased the value of this Nirvana pony, at least it’s got another chance and... I don’t plan on ever parting with it :) Quick jump to: - Intro: 0:04 - Cleaning the pony: 00:30 - Peroxide and UV treatment: 00:59 - Rehairing the tail: 02:25 - Rehairing the mane: 03:58 - Retouching the symbols and eyes: 05:13 - Results: 07:06 Find this pony on eBay: Explore MLP G1
