Please don't sell yourself short! Your voice is so nice! You always sound excited and enthusiastic when you talk about things and that's why everyone wanted you to talk more! Do what you love and we'll keep following because you have a lot motivation and passion and that is infectious.
I love that you show your experiments and how you learn as you go. Repairing other toy lines sounds great. And while I can't currently afford to buy any ponies, I think offering ones you want to sell is great idea. You make such beautiful ones
The hands that create, the voice that instructs, are beautiful and worthy of dignity. I find your style very calming and the relaxed familiarity is very comforting. Be you. That is more than enough.
Ooh heck yes, I'd love to see a restoration process for Polly Pockets! I had a few when I was little, so they are a retro/nostalgia thing for me :) Honestly, I find the processes of both customisation AND restoration really fascinating, and I love how you present your projects. And YES! I'd be super interested in chilling out watching a nice relaxing game being played, I do that to wind down after work quite a lot. (I also work in the video games industry and studied it at university, so your stories and thoughts about games would be hugely interesting to me too!)
I'm sick today and i'm glad you were talking through the video. I couldn't keep my eyes open the whole time but, I was listening to you. So, thank you.
I’m happy to see you again! Personally, I would LOVE “documentary” style videos. I love hearing about regional variants of ponies, changes in molds and plastics, and other history tidbits. Not just about ponies either, about all kinds of toy lines! I also wanna say that I bought a gorgeous G1 bride pony and while restoring her (cleaning the rust from her tail, cleaning off scuff marks), I chose to leave a blue stain that wouldn’t come out any further. I remembered what you said about their “past lives” and the flaws telling a story about how loved ponies have been. So she kept her little blue “birthmark” instead of having it painted over 🩵
As others have said, your voice is genuinely really nice! I suffer from misophonia and being able to hear a voice that doesn’t trigger it is always so nice, it perfectly balances out the noises in the background which is so needed for me. Love your art as always, can’t wait to see more
Polly Pocket would be interesting to see, I would love to see all the other toys you want repair/custom. I do have some yellowed toys, one being a Mew from Pokémon, and one from a Stormtrooper we randomly found out by the creek. I would love to be able to repair them both one day
Thank you so much for your message. I also suffer frm pretty severe misophonia, it's so difficult some times :( I can't tell you how happy it makes me to know my voice doesn't trigger yours. Thank you!!!!
I mean, there are many ways to be awesome. Personally, I love your videos - they are informative, calming to the point of being ASMRish, and overall you just seem to be a nice person with whom it's nice to spend some time. :) Your struggles (mental health, impostor syndrome, etc) are very relatable to me, too. And customs don't have to be complicated and flashy to be great! Plus it's always lovely to see restorations of old toys. And I appreciate your subtitles a lot! Edit: C'mon, there's nothing wrong with your hands!! This silver nail polish looks great, too - so bright!
Oh my god, yes!! Everything you said sounds absolutely lovely girl, I adore seeing you grow more confident on your channel and with your content! Please go ahead! You should be allowed to experiment with what you love, and that shows us that you love it truly! I loved all of your ideas, and please go ahead with them! I'm very excited to see what you come up with!
Yes to the polly pocket!!!!!🎉 Also, you can repaint a modern polly pocket. There are a lot of moulded but unpainted details. Some people have already done it. It's pretty!
I really love how it can be heard from your voice, how excited you are! Gets me in a good mood listening to it haha. I started seriously restorating / customizing ponies this year, and I have learned so much from your videos! Used same tecniques and some products as you! Your videos have been a big help! If I may say one wish, I would really love if you'd work on a G2 MLP pony again. As a restoration or a custom, doesn't matter! Anyway glad to see you post more often!
I just like the satisfaction of seeing an old toy restored and the different processes, so I will watch no matter what kind! Ninja Turtles sounds so fun.
Omg girl yes I would love to see you branch out! I think a polly pockets repair would be so good to watch!!! I'm always ready to watch you branch out in any way!
My three favorite things: customization, toys, and video games. I love this channel as it is, and it seems like it is only going to get even lovelier. ❤
i'm glad that you are having more fun with the channel, and would love to see you 'branch out' into other models and toy lines :) also - bruno is so adorable!!
Polly pocket and other vintage toys you're interested in restoring sounds good, along with fake ponies too. Glad you're feeling inspired, I look forward to seeing where you take the channel :)
This is pretty awesome! Can't wait to see the cool new things that come, and of course, take your time and take care of yourself! The custom looks beautiful!
Having been here since (almost) Day 1, I am excited to see what you do with your channel and watch it grow! You are talented, your personality is bubbly and kind, and we can all tell how much you enjoy working on these ponies. It draws people in. You deserve all the success!
Just a tip: Next time,try using an Exacto Knife and cutting a hole in the neck where the neck peg used to be. Then go buy a Neck Peg,or use it off of the other Ponys'. For the wings,I can't help,but to see that G4 and G5 are different,you used fabric for it.(I'm not mad,or have any ill will towards you). Try sculpting off of the G4's Pony's wings with clay(no matter what type of clay as long as it drys quickly and hardens). Sculpt the crown instead of plastic. For the tail try your pliers (along with cutting the neck hole). To grab the stubs of hair that gets trapped in there. So in the future you won't have as much help from your boyfriend John. I hope this helps!😊
I love hearing you talk, don’t ever feel self-conscious of it! You have such a beautiful accent and melodic lilt to your voice that is really enjoyable to listen to. Especially in my case, where I put on youtube videos by my favorite creators just to listen to in the background while I work. Your voice and videos are my favorite to listen to while I’m winding down for the day
Exploring more toy lines like Care Bears sounds fun! Also i'm hard of hearing so thank you for still having subtitles in there in some way. Thank you for another relaxing video :D
I love listening to your voice while watching these videos, so don’t feel self conscience about it. It’s always a delight to hear your thought process as you restore/customize the toys.
i think i can count the number of times i've commented on a video on one hand, but i felt moved to here. i've been binge-watching your videos while doing my nails and cross stitch, and you're such a delight. you feel like one of my friends, making the ponies do a little dance, rambling about ancient Egypt. the only thing that makes me sad is how often you joke about muting you! i would never do that! you are too funny and your voice is a pleasure to listen to. G1s are also my fave so yours is a particularly good channel for me. it inspires me to get out my bin of childhood ponies and fix them up a bit!! thanks for being so enthusiastic and delightful to watch, and please take care of yourself first!
I've never seen this channel before it was suggested to me today (this is my like, fifth video. Poly Pocket was first, then the sea ponies, the sparkler sisters....), and I had every intent to let this run in the background while I played a video game. HOWEVER, your energy and sweet, enthusiastic commentary kept bringing me back! I love your work here! I also really love that you give warnings for trypophobia and taking the heads off the ponies. It's a tiny thing, but I can't get over how lovely that is. Give Bruno a little kiss from your newest subscriber!
I can't WAIT for Polly Pockets! I also love the idea of having gaming segments that are kinda "asmr-ish"? Like maybe it's mostly quiet gameplay with a segment where you talk about how you found out about the game and how/if it's special to you? Idk I just also love relaxing games and I have disabilities that mean sometimes all I can do is watch others play? I can't wait to see ANY gaming content you might want to share but the idea of "quiet time" sessions every once in a while just sounds so cozy
I found this channel originally because of my love for G1 Ponies and restoration but I've watched and enjoyed every single video you've put out since. Your videos are genuinely very entertaining and also very calming so I look forward to anything you have planned for the future 👍🏻
I love listening to you talk. It makes me smile and chuckle to hear your adorable quirkiness. Also, you talk like we're out having a cup of coffee. It's very real and I love it. :-) And yes! Please sell your pony restorations or new creations. I think a lot of fans would be interested in that. P.S. You're kitty is adorable!
If playing relaxing games is what you want to do, I highly recommend Animal Crossing, the latest in the series especially. You get to build your own island, talk with your fellow animal Islanders, go fishing, bug collecting and fossil digging, and genuinely have a mellow, relaxing time! You even get to customize your own house!
Commenting because there's surprisingly few comments under this video so far! Personally I'd love to watch all of the content you mentioned wanting to make, especially repairing other toy lines like TMNT and She-Ra: POP as well as the mini documentaries :)!
Your first attempt at gold leaf looks exactly like my first attempt! So frustrating when you're attempting to get a nice smooth application and the leaf wrinkles. I live for subtitles, whether pasted or auto. I have some auditory processing malfunctions and reading really helps. Auto isn't perfect but I still understand what you are meaning. If using the auto captions frees up some precious time for you, go for it! The idea of making little DIY repair kits with a bait pony and rehairing tool is very appealing to me. Having a little kit with a pony, rehairing tool, a small bundle of hair, perhaps a selection of little stickers or water-slide decals for those of us who aren't very talented at painting cutie marks, a couple paintbrushes and a set of simple instructions or tips ( with links to your videos for visual instructions) I think would be a good seller and great introduction into toy restoration and customization. Having to source all the items necessary to DIY a pony is probably the only thing really holding me back. That and the cost of ordering all those bits individually. But if some of those tools and the pony itself is bundled in a kit for a fair price, it gives people a chance to see if they even enjoy customizing a pony without having to invest a serious amount of time and money into the experimental project. Boyfriend John is a Good Boi but Bruno is very clearly Bestest Boi. Bruno takes his job of keeping your lap warm very seriously. You should consider making him Employee of the Month. Every month.
So happy to see you have made Pipp! She looks lovely. In regards to what you said in the video, I love listening to you talk, no matter what it’s about ☺️ also, I wouldn’t worry about your nails being chipped, it’s just a normal thing that happens. I am excited for the changes to possibly come to your channel in the future. 💜 (Btw, I absolutely adore piggy ponies, I would be ecstatic to see you repair one!) Sorry for rambling hehe 🙈💞
I am SO SO SO excited to see your plans for the channel and everything! I love Polly Pockets and used to collect them when I was way younger!! I'd be super interested in documentaries, stories, ASMR, gaming, everything! Loving your evolution and I'm here to stay and support you ♥♥♥
I'm happy to see whatever you put out on your channel! It's always great to see your videos pop up in my feed. They are so inspiring, relaxing and fun. Please experiment and create what makes you happy, who knows where it will lead. Thank you thank you thank you.
I just want to see you make the content that makes you happy and that you want to make, cos hearing you happy makes us happy. When you are ready to re open patron, I will sign back up x
Don't feel like you owe us your attention. We're all here because we enjoy your art and your lovely personality. Don't feel bad if you can't do things like keep up on Discord or be super active all the time. You still have your own life and we all understand : 3
I love you so much 🥺 your commentaries are the best and you're the first and only creator of this type I watch. I hope you make videos for a long time! I'm glad you're feeling more comfortable in your content.
Excited to hear about the evolution of the channel. Sounds like some fun projects coming up and I at least love hearing you talk more. I actually found your voice quite soothing and pleasant to listen to :)
That is a clever way to remove the tail plug. Usually I just push it into the body cavity, doomed to rattle around inside for all eternity since I hate cutting out and gluing back in the neck peg. I'll have to try doing it this way if I ever customize another one. Still won't help with the Cadence and Luna ponies though. The tail plug is literally glued in and crushed under the wings plug in. To remove it you have to not only cut off the wings, but also gouge out the entire back of the pony. Last time I used that body type I ended up just drilling into the tail hole after scrapping out as much hair as I could and then jamming the new tail in with a screwdriver. Anyway, Pip looks adorable. I love you restorations, but your customs are always really charming and it's a lot of fun to listen to you talk about the process.
Yisela, No apologies girl!! You are real and relatable, that’s what people love, the openness and honesty and the recognition that we are all perfectly imperfect!! You are lovely to listen to and have interesting things to say!! Your creations are beautiful! My only suggestion would be to also include all of the things which didn’t/don’t work, for two reasons. Mainly so we can all learn what is less likely to be successful, and also because knowing that someone with your talent doesn’t always have it figured out from start to finish makes the whole process less intimidating!! You are a shining light, don’t ever sell yourself short!! (the auto subtitles work just fine, no worries there!! and I vote Yes to selling what you have created; they will be even more special with the creation videos ;)
I really appreciated how much you spoke in this one. On the rare occasion I have time to sit while I craft, I like to have a craft video on. Kind of like we're doing crafts together. ❤ I think you would be great at doing other series as well, and I look forward to seeing more videos with you!
I’m not really a pony toy person but RUclips kept suggesting your videos and they’re actually great. I live for polly pocket videos tho, so obviously need more of that 😇
I really like your voiceovers! I was glad when you started doing them and am always happy to hear your commentary and your thoughts. You have interesting things to say! And I think the auto-generated subtitles work well. I've been following your channel a while and was really happy to see you posting videos again. I'm looking forward to seeing you try out new video ideas in the future! Different toy-lines and documentaries about toys sound cool! Also, as someone who likes gardening and nail polish, I totally feel your pain about the soil and chipping lol. Your nails looked great in this though! I really liked that purple polish. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into making these videos! They really brighten my day :)
All your plans sound great! Looking forward to Polly Pocket, other toy lines, documentaries, and gaming bits. Anything you’re passionate about will convey across in a video, and be great viewing! Your content is great, you’re very talented, and it’s great to watch your channel growing :)
Omg!! I can’t wait for all the new ideas you have coming, and I love all the commentary!! I get so excited when I see a new video pop up!! Thank you for all the hard work bring us the great videos!!
You’re the only pony restoration channel I sub to … I watch some doll customizations. But I like how sincere and authentic you are. So I have notifications on :)
It’s a special gold leaf glue you need to get called size. Yeah like the size of shoes ha ha… you can get a sealant as well that way it’s protected from scratches etc
Ok last comment! Have you played Unpacking?? It’s so cozy and relaxing. It really helped me get through some anxious times. She came out so adorable! ❤❤❤
You inspired me to start my own toy restorations and pony customs! Your videos are always so nice and I'm so glad you're feeling better. Thank you for inspiring me to create!
Tip for making doll hair: if you want to make plastic doll hair, you can use Nylon string and brush it out (I usually get white or off-white so I can dye it exactly how I like). Nylon Mason Line is the same as the smaller craft stuff but you can buy it thicker and it is usually not as tightly wound which makes it easier to brush out. It is very soft but also heat resistant so keep that in mind when styling and dyeing.
I got on some new ADHD meds and things were great for a month! Last month apparently the pills were actually not working because the house got hotter than the temperature they're supposed to be stored at. When I got my refill and they started working again a few days ago, it was INCREDIBLE. Immediate change. All this to say that I very much relate to you talking about a different person doing the second half of the project. Edit - I also appreciate the automatic subtitles being corrected so I can read along with what you're saying! Edit 2 - Learning by doing doesn't need justification - Yeah, you can look it up how to do it right. But if you're like me, your brain might just not let you do something as boring as reading up on anything. So it's either go in without a plan or not go in at all. Much better to make a few mistakes, especially because that way of learning tends to stick a little better than book learning :)
I keep having more comments the more you talk! I would love to see that kind of content. I love a lot of mobile games but I'm not a "gamer" because that's just not how people use the term. I have some nice mindless number or letter games (all of which i recommend with no wifi/data on so you have no constant ads). I also played probably hundreds of hours of solitaire (on computer and in person) while staying with m y mom in the hospital. We got some very bad news, and when I wasn't with her, I was playing Stardew Valley any time I was awake and not at work. (She is currently okay.)
This turned out really well. I especially like how you did her wings. This video was also very relaxing. I also like the ideas you have for your channel.
I'm also a learn by doing person!! I totally understand, the mistakes are how we learn! And I totally understand what you mean by researching and still not really knowing what you're doing until you do it! I'm totally the same way! I'm so happy you're feeling better and posting again, I love all your content and I've loved every single time you've branched out to do different toys, so I'm very excited to see you try documentaries and games!!
I would love to see Polly Pocket restorations! Your ideas with the different kinds of MLP brands from other countries to customize sounds so interesting too! I can't wait to see what you come up with next
I found this channel recently and absolutely love the work you've done on these ponies and other toys as well! There's so much love and care in all of your restorations and customs, plus the occasional small talk is really nice to hear as well. You definetly deserve all the love gotten so far, despite it's semplicity this stile of content is so nice to see!!
however you choose to make your content, we will like it! i think fans of vintage MLP are also interested in other vintage toy lines. it’s very interesting to learn about that kind of thing, i would be interested in documentaries as well! i am excited for upcoming projects and videos!! you have my support with what you choose to do! pipp turned out amazing, great work!!
i don't know what's harder for you, but i personally prefer when you put subtitles on RUclips rather than the video because i can choose if i want to see it or not. but whatever works better for you, i appreciate it a lot that you care enough about subtitles. i used to watch all English videos subtitles because it was easier for me to understand if i was reading, but thankfully my English is better now and I don't need subtitles anymore but i always got happy to see them before. ofc it's also very important for deaf people and some neurodivergents so THANK YOU SO MUCH
Don't forget the Hollie Locket the Polly pocket for older girls . I am absolutely dieing to hear/watch what other 80's toys would you restore or redo? Love to see/hear you back!
You had a lot of concerns and I don't want to be dismissive of them, but sincerely, everything you said sounds cool? A lot of youtubers have gone through burnout and wound up talking about how not feeling forced to stick to the same content helped them, so it sounds like you should try going where your fancy takes you. But also as an audience member, I just went "Ooh" several times at your ideas. Polly Pocket! "Boy" toys! Vintage toy documentaries! I'm here for it.
Everything you discussed re: future videos sounds amazing but I'd especially love to see you take on other versions of MLP and other toy lines (I would kill to see you do Transformers, personally) and I would LOVE the mini-docs. You're always a joy to listen to!
i really enjoy your videos and having accurate subtitles is important to me! i'm sure that your other fans who have auditory processing disorders, or are deaf or hard of hearing feel the same way! ^_^
I find your thing about games and PTSD and all that to be a very interesting topic. I was actually playing a FPS game when I found out that my Grandpa has cancer. Needless to say, that day my FPS was my best friend! I had more kills that day than any other day that I'd played, and I actually played very well that day. Using games as an outlet for difficult emotions can be sooooo useful! It really helped me to process the initial shock, and keep my mind distracted a little while I processed it, so it was a little less overwhelming than it would have been otherwise. I'm looking forward to your game-related videos!
I really loved your videos of other toys just as much as the ones of ponies, so I’m very excited! I had gone through a deep dive on old toy catalogues, but I can’t actually fix up old toys due to hand tremors, so your channel makes up for that- I guess what I am saying is I’m really excited? I love fakies and especially love takara styled ponies. It feels like you’re excited and that’s more fun for me! The rest sounds just fine to put here- it’s your channel, you upload what you like! I like video games when I’m dealing with bad stuff, though I relax by playing difficult games, because the focus makes my brain stop focusing on bad things A small way artists like to monetize for others is using a ko-fi, which is where someone “buys you a coffee”, and these can work as tip jars! There are functions for it to be similar to patreon, but I know it for the tip jar function
2:20 a little tip for this, if you're trying to scrape off the glue or pluck out the hair, i suggest dipping the head in hot water! It help the head get a but softer and easy to pluck the hair off
The pony came out so cute! I love the colours you chose and the gold hooves make her look so fancy :D I can't wait to see what other stuff you do, the Polly Pockets and She-Ra restorations in particular sound really interesting!
I love all your work, your videos are so relaxing and I adore seeing your process! I think it would be great to see you diversifying into other toys and if you do history videos of older toys I will so be here for that! Also, your kitty is so cute! As is your interaction with your helpful boyfriend lol^^
Please don't sell yourself short! Your voice is so nice! You always sound excited and enthusiastic when you talk about things and that's why everyone wanted you to talk more!
Do what you love and we'll keep following because you have a lot motivation and passion and that is infectious.
Thank you so much for your kind words an encouragement!! 😊😊
Honestly one of my favorite things about your videos is your voice! Your voice and accent are so pretty and relaxing to listen to
Oh thank you so much 😊😊
I love that you show your experiments and how you learn as you go. Repairing other toy lines sounds great. And while I can't currently afford to buy any ponies, I think offering ones you want to sell is great idea. You make such beautiful ones
Thank you so much 😊😊
I love your ramblings! As someone with ADHD, it makes me happy to hear someone else talk like I do in a video!
The hands that create, the voice that instructs, are beautiful and worthy of dignity. I find your style very calming and the relaxed familiarity is very comforting. Be you. That is more than enough.
Wow. Thank you so much. This is so nice :) :)

I have misophonia too, and I absolutely agree!! These videos relax me in a way I am not used too. 🥹💞
Thank you so much for your message. I also suffer frm pretty severe misophonia, it's so difficult some times :( I can't tell you how happy it makes me to know my voice doesn't trigger yours. Thank you!!!!

I loved all of your ideas, and please go ahead with them! I'm very excited to see what you come up with!
Thank you so much!! This message is so encouraging and makes me want to do many many things 😊😊
Yes to the polly pocket!!!!!🎉 Also, you can repaint a modern polly pocket. There are a lot of moulded but unpainted details. Some people have already done it. It's pretty!
She’s so cute! I love her flapper style tiara! ❤️. I love all vintage toys. I would watch restoration of anything ❤
I really love how it can be heard from your voice, how excited you are! Gets me in a good mood listening to it haha.
I started seriously restorating / customizing ponies this year, and I have learned so much from your videos! Used same tecniques and some products as you! Your videos have been a big help!

Polly pocket and other vintage toys you're interested in restoring sounds good, along with fake ponies too. Glad you're feeling inspired, I look forward to seeing where you take the channel :)
Polly pocket restoration/customization sounds super cute!
Everything you suggested and said you plan on doing, go ahead! You have my full support. I always liked watching your videos for you, the artist!
This is pretty awesome! Can't wait to see the cool new things that come, and of course, take your time and take care of yourself! The custom looks beautiful!
Thank you so much 😊😊

BROOOO yesss i also learned recently that playing tetris after experiencing traumatic events can help with processing them and not forming PTSD
I love listening to your voice while watching these videos, so don’t feel self conscience about it. It’s always a delight to hear your thought process as you restore/customize the toys.
Awwwwwww she’s lovely and beautiful
Thank you so much 😊😊
You’re so talented! One of my favorite doll maker channels hands down!
i think i can count the number of times i've commented on a video on one hand, but i felt moved to here. i've been binge-watching your videos while doing my nails and cross stitch, and you're such a delight. you feel like one of my friends, making the ponies do a little dance, rambling about ancient Egypt. the only thing that makes me sad is how often you joke about muting you! i would never do that! you are too funny and your voice is a pleasure to listen to. G1s are also my fave so yours is a particularly good channel for me. it inspires me to get out my bin of childhood ponies and fix them up a bit!! thanks for being so enthusiastic and delightful to watch, and please take care of yourself first!
I've never seen this channel before it was suggested to me today (this is my like, fifth video. Poly Pocket was first, then the sea ponies, the sparkler sisters....), and I had every intent to let this run in the background while I played a video game. HOWEVER, your energy and sweet, enthusiastic commentary kept bringing me back! I love your work here!
I also really love that you give warnings for trypophobia and taking the heads off the ponies. It's a tiny thing, but I can't get over how lovely that is.
Give Bruno a little kiss from your newest subscriber!
Oh a Polly pocket house! So exciting! Can't wait to see that! And great job on this pony. It turned out great!
I can't WAIT for Polly Pockets! I also love the idea of having gaming segments that are kinda "asmr-ish"? Like maybe it's mostly quiet gameplay with a segment where you talk about how you found out about the game and how/if it's special to you? Idk I just also love relaxing games and I have disabilities that mean sometimes all I can do is watch others play? I can't wait to see ANY gaming content you might want to share but the idea of "quiet time" sessions every once in a while just sounds so cozy
I found this channel originally because of my love for G1 Ponies and restoration but I've watched and enjoyed every single video you've put out since. Your videos are genuinely very entertaining and also very calming so I look forward to anything you have planned for the future 👍🏻
That end result is giving me wonder woman vibes, and I love it. Your nail polish is perfect too 💅
I love listening to you talk. It makes me smile and chuckle to hear your adorable quirkiness. Also, you talk like we're out having a cup of coffee. It's very real and I love it. :-) And yes! Please sell your pony restorations or new creations. I think a lot of fans would be interested in that. P.S. You're kitty is adorable!
Aaaaa I would love to see Polly pockets I loved mine as a kid! And if you're a fan of cozy games I definitely recommend Roots Of Pacha!
I love your personality and enjoys your ramblings. Please continue to talk as much as you want 😁❤🥰
If playing relaxing games is what you want to do, I highly recommend Animal Crossing, the latest in the series especially. You get to build your own island, talk with your fellow animal Islanders, go fishing, bug collecting and fossil digging, and genuinely have a mellow, relaxing time! You even get to customize your own house!
I would love to see Polly Pockets! That's what I grew up the most with. Thank you for sharing your craft with us. I always enjoy watching your videos!
Commenting because there's surprisingly few comments under this video so far! Personally I'd love to watch all of the content you mentioned wanting to make, especially repairing other toy lines like TMNT and She-Ra: POP as well as the mini documentaries :)!
Your first attempt at gold leaf looks exactly like my first attempt! So frustrating when you're attempting to get a nice smooth application and the leaf wrinkles.
I live for subtitles, whether pasted or auto. I have some auditory processing malfunctions and reading really helps. Auto isn't perfect but I still understand what you are meaning. If using the auto captions frees up some precious time for you, go for it!
The idea of making little DIY repair kits with a bait pony and rehairing tool is very appealing to me. Having a little kit with a pony, rehairing tool, a small bundle of hair, perhaps a selection of little stickers or water-slide decals for those of us who aren't very talented at painting cutie marks, a couple paintbrushes and a set of simple instructions or tips ( with links to your videos for visual instructions) I think would be a good seller and great introduction into toy restoration and customization. Having to source all the items necessary to DIY a pony is probably the only thing really holding me back. That and the cost of ordering all those bits individually. But if some of those tools and the pony itself is bundled in a kit for a fair price, it gives people a chance to see if they even enjoy customizing a pony without having to invest a serious amount of time and money into the experimental project.
Boyfriend John is a Good Boi but Bruno is very clearly Bestest Boi. Bruno takes his job of keeping your lap warm very seriously. You should consider making him Employee of the Month. Every month.
She looks so beautiful and cute. Amazing job 👏 👏👏👏❤
i really love your commentary! it's half the reason i decided to keep watching your videos
So happy to see you have made Pipp! She looks lovely.
In regards to what you said in the video, I love listening to you talk, no matter what it’s about ☺️ also, I wouldn’t worry about your nails being chipped, it’s just a normal thing that happens.
I am excited for the changes to possibly come to your channel in the future. 💜
(Btw, I absolutely adore piggy ponies, I would be ecstatic to see you repair one!)
Sorry for rambling hehe 🙈💞
Yeah, go for it, I like your ideas for the channel. Especially branching in to other toy lines.
I am SO SO SO excited to see your plans for the channel and everything! I love Polly Pockets and used to collect them when I was way younger!! I'd be super interested in documentaries, stories, ASMR, gaming, everything! Loving your evolution and I'm here to stay and support you ♥♥♥
I'm happy to see whatever you put out on your channel! It's always great to see your videos pop up in my feed. They are so inspiring, relaxing and fun.
Please experiment and create what makes you happy, who knows where it will lead.
Thank you thank you thank you.
I really like hearing your commentary. You have a lot of interesting things to say and you have a great sense of humour.
I just want to see you make the content that makes you happy and that you want to make, cos hearing you happy makes us happy. When you are ready to re open patron, I will sign back up x
Don't feel like you owe us your attention. We're all here because we enjoy your art and your lovely personality. Don't feel bad if you can't do things like keep up on Discord or be super active all the time. You still have your own life and we all understand : 3
I love you so much 🥺 your commentaries are the best and you're the first and only creator of this type I watch. I hope you make videos for a long time! I'm glad you're feeling more comfortable in your content.
Excited to hear about the evolution of the channel. Sounds like some fun projects coming up and I at least love hearing you talk more. I actually found your voice quite soothing and pleasant to listen to :)
I'm happy for you, and excited to see where your channel goes
Yes! I enjoy you talking more in your videos! Thank you!
That is a clever way to remove the tail plug. Usually I just push it into the body cavity, doomed to rattle around inside for all eternity since I hate cutting out and gluing back in the neck peg. I'll have to try doing it this way if I ever customize another one. Still won't help with the Cadence and Luna ponies though. The tail plug is literally glued in and crushed under the wings plug in. To remove it you have to not only cut off the wings, but also gouge out the entire back of the pony. Last time I used that body type I ended up just drilling into the tail hole after scrapping out as much hair as I could and then jamming the new tail in with a screwdriver.
Anyway, Pip looks adorable. I love you restorations, but your customs are always really charming and it's a lot of fun to listen to you talk about the process.
Love the Polly Pocket idea!!!
Yisela, No apologies girl!! You are real and relatable, that’s what people love, the openness and honesty and the recognition that we are all perfectly imperfect!! You are lovely to listen to and have interesting things to say!! Your creations are beautiful! My only suggestion would be to also include all of the things which didn’t/don’t work, for two reasons. Mainly so we can all learn what is less likely to be successful, and also because knowing that someone with your talent doesn’t always have it figured out from start to finish makes the whole process less intimidating!!
You are a shining light, don’t ever sell yourself short!!
(the auto subtitles work just fine, no worries there!! and I vote Yes to selling what you have created; they will be even more special with the creation videos ;)
I'm up for the changes you described. I think you're a great communicator 💖
I really appreciated how much you spoke in this one. On the rare occasion I have time to sit while I craft, I like to have a craft video on. Kind of like we're doing crafts together. ❤ I think you would be great at doing other series as well, and I look forward to seeing more videos with you!
I’m not really a pony toy person but RUclips kept suggesting your videos and they’re actually great. I live for polly pocket videos tho, so obviously need more of that 😇
I honestly like you talking in the videos...this is the first video Ive watched but its really good. Its like hanging out with a friend.
I really like your voiceovers! I was glad when you started doing them and am always happy to hear your commentary and your thoughts. You have interesting things to say! And I think the auto-generated subtitles work well.
I've been following your channel a while and was really happy to see you posting videos again. I'm looking forward to seeing you try out new video ideas in the future! Different toy-lines and documentaries about toys sound cool!
Also, as someone who likes gardening and nail polish, I totally feel your pain about the soil and chipping lol. Your nails looked great in this though! I really liked that purple polish.
Thanks for all the time and effort you put into making these videos! They really brighten my day :)
All your plans sound great! Looking forward to Polly Pocket, other toy lines, documentaries, and gaming bits. Anything you’re passionate about will convey across in a video, and be great viewing!
Your content is great, you’re very talented, and it’s great to watch your channel growing :)
Omg!! I can’t wait for all the new ideas you have coming, and I love all the commentary!! I get so excited when I see a new video pop up!! Thank you for all the hard work bring us the great videos!!
You’re the only pony restoration channel I sub to … I watch some doll customizations. But I like how sincere and authentic you are. So I have notifications on :)
It’s a special gold leaf glue you need to get called size. Yeah like the size of shoes ha ha… you can get a sealant as well that way it’s protected from scratches etc
Ok last comment! Have you played Unpacking?? It’s so cozy and relaxing. It really helped me get through some anxious times.
She came out so adorable! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! This means a lot. I really appreciate your words :) :)
honestly i LOVE hearing you talk! id love more commentary heavy vids :)
You inspired me to start my own toy restorations and pony customs! Your videos are always so nice and I'm so glad you're feeling better. Thank you for inspiring me to create!
Tip for making doll hair: if you want to make plastic doll hair, you can use Nylon string and brush it out (I usually get white or off-white so I can dye it exactly how I like). Nylon Mason Line is the same as the smaller craft stuff but you can buy it thicker and it is usually not as tightly wound which makes it easier to brush out. It is very soft but also heat resistant so keep that in mind when styling and dyeing.
I love hearing about your plans and voiceovers :) amazing custom!
I got on some new ADHD meds and things were great for a month! Last month apparently the pills were actually not working because the house got hotter than the temperature they're supposed to be stored at. When I got my refill and they started working again a few days ago, it was INCREDIBLE. Immediate change. All this to say that I very much relate to you talking about a different person doing the second half of the project. Edit - I also appreciate the automatic subtitles being corrected so I can read along with what you're saying! Edit 2 - Learning by doing doesn't need justification - Yeah, you can look it up how to do it right. But if you're like me, your brain might just not let you do something as boring as reading up on anything. So it's either go in without a plan or not go in at all. Much better to make a few mistakes, especially because that way of learning tends to stick a little better than book learning :)
I keep having more comments the more you talk! I would love to see that kind of content. I love a lot of mobile games but I'm not a "gamer" because that's just not how people use the term. I have some nice mindless number or letter games (all of which i recommend with no wifi/data on so you have no constant ads). I also played probably hundreds of hours of solitaire (on computer and in person) while staying with m y mom in the hospital. We got some very bad news, and when I wasn't with her, I was playing Stardew Valley any time I was awake and not at work. (She is currently okay.)
This turned out really well. I especially like how you did her wings. This video was also very relaxing.
I also like the ideas you have for your channel.
I'm also a learn by doing person!! I totally understand, the mistakes are how we learn! And I totally understand what you mean by researching and still not really knowing what you're doing until you do it! I'm totally the same way! I'm so happy you're feeling better and posting again, I love all your content and I've loved every single time you've branched out to do different toys, so I'm very excited to see you try documentaries and games!!
I'd love to see more restorations of other toys, and I'm now really keen on seeing more no-stress games!
I would love to see Polly Pocket restorations! Your ideas with the different kinds of MLP brands from other countries to customize sounds so interesting too!
I can't wait to see what you come up with next
I found this channel recently and absolutely love the work you've done on these ponies and other toys as well!
There's so much love and care in all of your restorations and customs, plus the occasional small talk is really nice to hear as well.
You definetly deserve all the love gotten so far, despite it's semplicity this stile of content is so nice to see!!
however you choose to make your content, we will like it! i think fans of vintage MLP are also interested in other vintage toy lines. it’s very interesting to learn about that kind of thing, i would be interested in documentaries as well! i am excited for upcoming projects and videos!! you have my support with what you choose to do! pipp turned out amazing, great work!!
Love your channel....love your ideas....and love your accent....loved the silver nail polish . Keep up the good work xx
YESSSS excited to see your Takara babies!!
I would love to see different series, and videos outside of restoration/customs! Your videos are always so calming, so I don't mind what you do.
i don't know what's harder for you, but i personally prefer when you put subtitles on RUclips rather than the video because i can choose if i want to see it or not. but whatever works better for you, i appreciate it a lot that you care enough about subtitles. i used to watch all English videos subtitles because it was easier for me to understand if i was reading, but thankfully my English is better now and I don't need subtitles anymore but i always got happy to see them before. ofc it's also very important for deaf people and some neurodivergents so THANK YOU SO MUCH
Don't forget the Hollie Locket the Polly pocket for older girls . I am absolutely dieing to hear/watch what other 80's toys would you restore or redo? Love to see/hear you back!
You had a lot of concerns and I don't want to be dismissive of them, but sincerely, everything you said sounds cool? A lot of youtubers have gone through burnout and wound up talking about how not feeling forced to stick to the same content helped them, so it sounds like you should try going where your fancy takes you. But also as an audience member, I just went "Ooh" several times at your ideas. Polly Pocket! "Boy" toys! Vintage toy documentaries! I'm here for it.
Everything you discussed re: future videos sounds amazing but I'd especially love to see you take on other versions of MLP and other toy lines (I would kill to see you do Transformers, personally) and I would LOVE the mini-docs. You're always a joy to listen to!
The Polly pocket project sounds really cool! And the "boy toys" as well, I haven't seen many restoration channels restore those :)
i really enjoy your videos and having accurate subtitles is important to me! i'm sure that your other fans who have auditory processing disorders, or are deaf or hard of hearing feel the same way! ^_^
I find your thing about games and PTSD and all that to be a very interesting topic. I was actually playing a FPS game when I found out that my Grandpa has cancer. Needless to say, that day my FPS was my best friend! I had more kills that day than any other day that I'd played, and I actually played very well that day. Using games as an outlet for difficult emotions can be sooooo useful! It really helped me to process the initial shock, and keep my mind distracted a little while I processed it, so it was a little less overwhelming than it would have been otherwise. I'm looking forward to your game-related videos!
She looks great! I really like the other ideas you put out for future video possibilities
i love your videos :) i always look forward to them. i'm glad to watch anything you want to create or restore
Takara Tomy ponies are so cute, I really love them!!!
Very excited to hear you're looking to diversify, there's so many weird and wonderful kids toys and figurines out there that need tlc
I really loved your videos of other toys just as much as the ones of ponies, so I’m very excited! I had gone through a deep dive on old toy catalogues, but I can’t actually fix up old toys due to hand tremors, so your channel makes up for that- I guess what I am saying is I’m really excited? I love fakies and especially love takara styled ponies. It feels like you’re excited and that’s more fun for me!
The rest sounds just fine to put here- it’s your channel, you upload what you like! I like video games when I’m dealing with bad stuff, though I relax by playing difficult games, because the focus makes my brain stop focusing on bad things
A small way artists like to monetize for others is using a ko-fi, which is where someone “buys you a coffee”, and these can work as tip jars! There are functions for it to be similar to patreon, but I know it for the tip jar function
2:20 a little tip for this, if you're trying to scrape off the glue or pluck out the hair, i suggest dipping the head in hot water! It help the head get a but softer and easy to pluck the hair off
The pony came out so cute! I love the colours you chose and the gold hooves make her look so fancy :D
I can't wait to see what other stuff you do, the Polly Pockets and She-Ra restorations in particular sound really interesting!
I love all your work, your videos are so relaxing and I adore seeing your process! I think it would be great to see you diversifying into other toys and if you do history videos of older toys I will so be here for that! Also, your kitty is so cute! As is your interaction with your helpful boyfriend lol^^
