Omg really guys? These are the only ones I ever owned, to the point where I was confused when I saw the other generations 🤣. I'm from Argentina like Yisela, maybe that's why lmao we did not have a lot of variety in mi city when I was a kid. AND Ivy was my first one, now that I remember!
I love how she came out! And that’s a shame they didn’t sell well in the states, I personally love the more realistically proportioned shape and probably would’ve had one growing up.
I grew up with G2 ponies and she was my very first one! You did an amazing job, she looks just brand new! (The original gem crystal color should be pink, but white suits her better) Edit: I heard you're looking for other G2s, I'm selling my ponies, would it interest you?
Thank you so much 😊😊 Ooooh pink! I thought blue, I couldn't tell by the pictures. Are you selling any for repair? I'm going after the worst ones :Do Feel free to send me the links via IG or FB!
I'm so glad you found the G2s appealing! I had the video game based on G2s as a child and it has always had a special place in my heart, but since the G2s only lasted a short while and they never had an actual show made of them they don't really seem to be as popular. I'd love to see more G2 ponies! It would be really cool!
I have a soft spot for G2 ponies since my very first original mlp was from that gen (Clever Clover), they get bad rep for their weird models but I find them very charming in their own oddball way. Your work and care you put in these always amazes me, keep it up! :D
I didn't think I would like them... I was a little skeptical while doing this pony but as soon as I saw the colour of the hair... That was it. Instant love. I really like the shape too! I hope I can do more G2s soon ☺️
Tbh I honestly like the shape of the model and the moveable leg. Honestly wouldn't have complained if they kept that model for awhile! But honestly I didn't know much about g2 ponies or what they looked like until now though.
I had one called moon shadow. If you pressed the tail her head would bow down. Plus she had a magnet SO she could pick up things. I absolutely love these slender lanky models. I really think these are the most beautiful mlp. But clearly I'm in the minority because you never hear people talk about g2. Mine came with so much stuff too. A little dresser to hold her accessories. A gate that you could attach a rainbow to, and of course a comb and hair clips.
I wonder if the general dislike for g2 ponies is because the design is such a massive departure from the g1 look? Seems like g3 walked it back a bit, being a little closer to the g1 look before having 3.5 and g4 take a hard turn towards the cartoony.
Me neither!! I though I would have to rehair and I was really worried about where to find that shade of pink!! Very glad it all washed off with just soap 😊😊
I had this one as a kid! In fact, I still have her. She was my favorite of the ones I got as a child. I loved the design of the G2 ponies the most, it's too bad they had such a short run here in the US and that so many people seemed to dislike them. I thought they were adorable and I wasn't even the typical girly girl at that age. This video has given me some great ideas on how to restore my G2s so they look almost new. Thanks!
Currently, owning a G2 is one of my goals. I own ponies from every generation EXCEPT G2. Since I am American, they're very rare here and international shipping costs for some of the more unique G2s just isn't affordable for me. Love to see them get some love on your channel!
I hope you can find one soon! I don't really know anything about their prices. I found this one online and it was very cheap. I have so much t learn about them yet ☺️☺️
You're American? Then you should have no issue finding the G2 ponies that were released in the states for cheap. They're easy to find on reselling sites for $10USD or less since they weren't as popular as other generations.
As someone who has started to catalogue and clean up my own personal collection, including one of this exact pony, it's exciting to me seeing G2s getting some attention like this! Their design was so cute and elegant, a lovely mix of features that puts them perfectly between the more realistic horse shapes of G1 and the cuter cartoony body and head of G3, they're such a distinctive generation
I appreciate that you included the meowing in the captions lol. as a pet owner, whenever I hear barking or meowing in the background of videos, I have to check and make sure it's none of my creatures needing something.
she looks awesome, she's one of my favourite g2 ponies! i just started restoring some g1 ponies i found at the thrift shop. they were super filthy and rusty inside! love your channel, restoring old ponies is so relaxing to look at (and do as well)
I was born in 98,soo I had few g2 ponies when I was a little boy 🥰 but my childhood ponies are definitely g3 I hope I see restorating some g3 pony, and of course nice video 😍
My mom grew up with g1 and i grew up with g3, so this is actually the first g2 ive seen! I still think the g1 and g3 sculpts are my favorite though. Guess im just a fan of the "chunkier" sculpts, haha
I grew up mostly with G3 ponies, but my first was a G2! After describing her on a different video, someone figured out that she was named Cupcake! I miss her quite a bit. She had a magnetic nose and hoof. You made Ivy look very pretty, good job with her makeover. I hope you do manage to find more of them!
I was born in 1992, so the ponies I played with were all G2’s as they were released around the time I was starting to play with those types of toys 🥰 I had quite a few of them. But when I grew out of them we donated them to a charity shop, seeing this makes me wish that I had kept them
Great restoration as usual! G2s are my fave ponies and I´m so happy they were produced until the early 2000s in europe! I do have this particular pony and I think her original eye crystals were either pink or red, matching her hair ^^
I've never seen a G2 before! I'm so amazed that the hair cleaned up so well. I thought the purple was a lost cause by just looking at it, but one wash and it was good!
@@RetroGeekCrafts Yes! Please do more if you can. I really loved watching this video! I have 2 ponies of this generation... Both of them would need a restauration, and watching these brings me Hope!
AHHH A G2 I LOVE G2. I HAVE SUCH FOND MEMORIES OF THIS PONY. I'm so happy to see a g2. This generation gets no love and was not nearly as popular as all the other generations.
Oh god, this is my childhood! I grew up playing with and loving g2 MLPs (though I had no idea they were g2 at the time.) This video is activation all the nostalgia feels! ♥️♥️♥️
I wasn't around to see the original generations of mlp (the earliest toys i own are from gen 3.5), but honestly ever since i had seen the molds used for G2 i've loved them!! I think they're one of the better generations in terms of the toys, with their more realistic but still cute proportions. The art used especially for the G2 game is amazing. They're so graceful looking!
I've been watching your videos for several months and never commented before now, but I want to say how much I adore your content, the presentation style, and the warmth you bring to this channel! I love how elegant the G2 pony designs are, and it was great to see one up close during your restoration.
Aww I’ve never seen a G2 pony before! I grew up with the G3’s (whose designs I also love). She’s so cute and I love the motion mechanism idea. Even though you didn’t fix that in this vid, the life you were able to bring back to this little pony is wonderful!
I hope to do more G2 repairs soon! I want to find a way to fix the mechanism. I don't believe it cannot be done :P Thank you so much for your message 😊😊
Ivy was my first My Little Pony! She came with a lot of fun accessories : a wardrobe, crown with earrings, fence, and rainbow arch! I love her. So glad to se you restoring her.
Oh gosh, Ivy! I had her and Light Heart as a kid. Ivy had a wardrobe with a tiara and a ring that goes on the moving hoof so she can show it off. Light Heart had a bed with a cloud that springs open to display a rainbow ribbon, and her head would pop up when you pressed a lever on her tail.
G2!! Yeeeee~ I had one of these as a kid xD Not one with this mechanism, but just a G2 pony as a whole. I forget the name, might have been Posey, but it's the one with pink hair and yellow body. Butterflies too - so practically Fluttershy Ancestor One of my fave toys as a kid, I gave it so many baths, took it to the sandbox and woop we go wash it again in the sink~ Together with a Charizard, they were certainly bath buddies. I was a little disappointed that I kept the toy so clean because I loved seeing the difference of the dirt and dustiness coming off and stuff looking like new again xD Never inked or ripped the pony though. Maybe gave it a mud bath and buried it a few times, but it was pretty much always washed soon after
I'm so sorry for the really long delay. I hadn't been able to reply to comments these last weeks. I think this message was duplicated, but I only saw a small part of the other one so just in case: thank you so much for sharing this!!
i only had one my little pony doll growing up and it was ivy! i didn't know anything about mlp, i just had this one doll as well as a herd of realistic ponies and horses. i named her "jewel" because of her eye crystals. so nice to see this video!
J'avais ce G2 ! Ici en France il y en avait énormément, beaucoup de petites filles en avait et quelques années après les brocantes en étaient remplies 😁 C'est mon design préféré, je suis de 92 et n'ai pas connu les G1, et je les trouve "patauds" et "bébés" à côté de la ligne élancée des G2. Et puis énormément de G2 avaient des crins métalliques brillants en plus du petit cristal dans les yeux, donc forcément ça m'a attirée lol Je pense que je vais reprendre la collection de G2, j'avais commencé à récolter des Grand Champions mais tu m'as trop donné envie de ravoir des G2 ! 😭
My favourite generation! I love their silhouette and proportions, the eye diamonds, and some of their colour schemes and/or cutie marks still look lovely and unique (e.g. Silver Swirl, Princess Crystal, Prince Firefly, Copper Glow, Princess Golden Light, Princess Silver Rain, Clever Clover, Miss Painter), You did such a good job, as always!
(I have some videos to catch up on in terms of commenting, I hope you don’t mind) I just realised I never posted the original comment to this video 🙃 I was so happy when I saw this video, I grew up with g2. I unfourtunately sold all of them in my tweens but I reclaimed my favorite from ebay right before christmas in 2021. Copper Glow will forever be my favorite and I used your videos as a guide when I restored her 💚 Ivy's colors are BEAUTIFUL, such a gorgeous restoration. G2 is so underrated, they're kinda the supermodels of My little Pony. Long legs and bedazzled.
yaaaaaay G2!!! G2 is my favorite even though I never grew up with ANY mlp toys. I like that they actually look kind of like horses compared the other gens.
a tip for a more relaxed hairdo would be to wrap the hair around the pony's neck, and the tail a couple times around its leg! since the body parts are thicker than the perm rollers the wave is more subtle but it still has a nice flip :D wonderful work, hope to see more g2s! I always loved them more than the g1s as a kid - something about their more expressive and somewhat more realistic proportions made them more appealing to me I think. she looks stunning c:
Thank you for your message and for the tip! I do this sometimes, but in this case it kept getting tangled in the mechanism and I was feeling very clumsy so I gave up 😁
True!! I wish they did modern interpretations of the ponies though! Transformers has some cool reimagining. At least both have dinosaurs :D (MLP has one)
Espero poder hacer más G2. Son más difíciles de encontrar, sobre todo en mal estado, pero me ecantó trabajar con Ivy asi que espero poder hacer otros 😊😊
I had a magic motion Ivy as a kid, I actually recently acquired a gently used one second hand on ebay that also came with a McDonald's Happy Meal toy Ivy which made me happy and was a nice addition to my modest MLP collection. EDIT: The crystal is supposed to be pink if you're going for manufacture accuracy, but the silver one looks nice too
she looks stunning omg!! had never seen G2 ponies before and she's so beautiful 🥺🥺 you did an amazing job! and think your cat wanted to join in in the video x'D so cute
this made me so happy!! i never had my little ponies myself as a kid but i always coveted my cousin’s, and when i was a teenager and saw g1 and g3 ponies on the internet i was sort of confused by how different they looked from how i remembered… years later i realized my cousin’s were g2 ponies, and given they seem to be in short supply, the toy collector in me is retroactively kind of horrified at the fact my cousins had them as pool/bath toys 😨 i think g1 is aesthetically my favorite, but i still have a soft spot for g2. glad to see this one restored so nicely ☺️
Thank you so much for your message, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video ☺️☺️ G1s will always have a special place in my heart but I have to say I'm really happy I discovered G2s. And finding out that they were only made for a year in some places makes them even more special! And yes, I remember my own ponies and I'm horrified by the haircuts I gave them (I unfortunately lost them a long time ago. They'd be really sought after today!)
Wow extremely entertaining and an Adorable Pony! Your editing is great and the commentary is very sweet. Plus that cat is just too cute! screaming like that!
I think this is the first G2 pony I’ve seen. Nice job on cleaning her up, she looks great. The UV Chamber works wonders. Would be very interested to find out how the head/leg mechanism works. If you are able to figure it out please do a video on it. Very smart to use a tool to apply the super glue. Those tubes aren’t made for precision application. Small suggestion, use a separate tool to apply the glue and another to position the work piece. Prevents you accidentally glueing something you don’t want glued... ask me how I know 😹😹😹 For a larger piece, I use a tooth pick, it’s cheap and disposable so I don’t have to clean glue off my tools. For a more precise application on a small piece, a needle or straight pin works great. That poor baby kitty, so deprived! Give Boo some love, and tell him my kitties said hissssss 😸
Thank you so much for sharing your tips! I'm quite bad at keeping my tools clean, not gonna lie. It's a skill I need to practise ☺️ I'm glad you enjoyed the video (and thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it). I will send your regards to Boo ☺️
Thank you 😊😊 Yes! But DO NOT use benzoyl peroxide (comes in acne creams) because it bleaches the ponies. It has to be hydrogen peroxide, or hair cream salon.
@@RetroGeekCrafts yup, I know of the bleaching. Ppl who use acne creams show careful applying only on the dirty spot. It's just, our country doesn't sell acne peroxide creams (forbidden) and I was seeking for another way, seems I've found it 😚
my goodness Ivy! I need to dig up my old ponies from the storage, see in what condition my Ivy is in 🩵She didn’t look like a “main character” and came with no accessories afaik, but I also loved her very much as a kid, always gave her a very demure, very mindful character 😂
I love her! I own this pony and a few others from the generation, so its super neat to see her cleaned up :) Maybe someday I'll try restoring some of my old collection
So pretty!!! I’ve never seen G2s! 🦄 I’m looking forward to the mechanism repair! It will really finish it off!!! Btw, are you going to show you painting the bases for the Sea Ponies?
Ah, I have a soft spot for G2 ponies, I am happy to see you restoring one. For future reference, apparently, the exact crystals used for the eyes are Swarovski rhinestones. Additionally, The Lavender Lagoon has some information on G2 restoration, in addition to general information about these ponies.
I've never seen a G2 before either. I find the face shape creepy but the pose is really nice. The silver crystals look great. Her tail came out nicely too.
I love watching you RUclips channel. It's giving the courage to try to fix some of my G1 ponies that I keep. Had to laugh when your cat got demanding for pets. As my cat does the same thing, but at 3am....lol
Thank you so much 😊😊 That's so great to read! I hope you do it an have tons of fun. Boo is very vocal. Also at all times. I usually have to edit the meowing out but this time it was everywhere xD Shoes amazing though 🐱❤️
In the “meta” of my play universe, G2 ponies were a special kind of rich, royal blooded ponies. Often a little spoiled, and very high ranking. 🤭 Nearly all of my ponies were hand-me-downs from my cousin, some in good condition, some not so much. In the large pile of ponies, only two of them were G2, and only one of them still had her crystal eyes. She was crowned the queen of my ponies for being so fancy. 😅😋
The normal G2 ponies, like Sky Skimmer, can have the heads removed easily, and are actually really easy to restore and give new hair. I haven't taking a posable one apart yet, but I do have one that turns the head when you spin the tail knob. I love seeing some variety with other types of pony toys though
I was reading about them earlier in the week and most things I saw said that opening them breaks the mechanism. So I didn't want to risk it! Not yet at least 😊
I haven’t seen any for sale, but I found this website a while ago, it’s called mlpmerch it has pictures of almost all the ponies, also if you tap on the generation u get different categories! 😁 PS: Ivy looks AMAZING!!!! I love her! 😄
I know that G2 ponies are so rare, cause they weren't that popular so is like a unknown generation! She looks beautiful Like always you make a miracle in them
Woah, ive never seen a G2 pony before! It would be cool if you could find more to restore/make customs of!
I hope you liked it! ☺️☺️ I think I'd love to do more!
I’ve also never seen a G2. I feel like it’s the MLP generation that nobody ever talks about; I certainly don’t know much about it!
I actually own 3 off them the 1 in the video, another ivy with longer hair and a white bride.
Omg really guys? These are the only ones I ever owned, to the point where I was confused when I saw the other generations 🤣. I'm from Argentina like Yisela, maybe that's why lmao we did not have a lot of variety in mi city when I was a kid. AND Ivy was my first one, now that I remember!
@@RetroGeekCraftslyelkYek6jtk😅😊😊
I love how she came out! And that’s a shame they didn’t sell well in the states, I personally love the more realistically proportioned shape and probably would’ve had one growing up.
Thank you so much 😊😊 The G1 flutter ponies have a similar body! You might be able to track those down (no crystal eyes though)
I grew up with G2 ponies and she was my very first one! You did an amazing job, she looks just brand new!

Ivy was my first My Little Pony! She came with a lot of fun accessories : a wardrobe, crown with earrings, fence, and rainbow arch! I love her. So glad to se you restoring her.
Oh! Also her eye crystal was actually pink! I do like the silver crystal you used though!
That's great 😊😊 I looked at the accessories, you're right, it came with so many things! Such a good quality toy! (Thank you for the tip on the eyes!)
She's got a pretty face. And the eye jewels are a cute touch.
Thank you 😊😊
Oh gosh, Ivy! I had her and Light Heart as a kid. Ivy had a wardrobe with a tiara and a ring that goes on the moving hoof so she can show it off. Light Heart had a bed with a cloud that springs open to display a rainbow ribbon, and her head would pop up when you pressed a lever on her tail.
Ohhh I would love to some day find those accessories!! Thank you for sharing ☺️☺️
The silver jewel makes Ivy look more alive. I dont feel like there are two bottomless pits staring into my soul anymore.
When I was a child I always used the G2s as teenagers in my playing! XD
Haha that's a cool idea! ☺️☺️
Interesting restoration! Very unusual proportions, because G1 is quite plump 👍
Yes! It took me a little time to get used to them but I like them! They are closer to the G1 flutter ponies and bride pony!
You found an Ivy! I had this exact one, and I think I still do. This video brought back some good memories!
I'm so glad it did 😊😊 Thank you for your message!
this was my very favorite pony growing up! so happy to see her in your hands :)
Watching your videos has got me thinking about giving my G3 ponies some love. They are all in need of a good wash.
You should! It's actually really satisfying. They are easy to clean so seeing the before and after feels great! 😊😊
Loved the g2s, grew up on them. Pretty sure Ivy was my first MLP toy. The crystal eyes were my favorite part about them.
It's definitely a really nice addition ☺️☺️
G2!! Yeeeee~ I had one of these as a kid xD Not one with this mechanism, but just a G2 pony as a whole. I forget the name, might have been Posey, but it's the one with pink hair and yellow body. Butterflies too - so practically Fluttershy Ancestor
One of my fave toys as a kid, I gave it so many baths, took it to the sandbox and woop we go wash it again in the sink~ Together with a Charizard, they were certainly bath buddies. I was a little disappointed that I kept the toy so clean because I loved seeing the difference of the dirt and dustiness coming off and stuff looking like new again xD Never inked or ripped the pony though. Maybe gave it a mud bath and buried it a few times, but it was pretty much always washed soon after
I'm so sorry for the really long delay. I hadn't been able to reply to comments these last weeks. I think this message was duplicated, but I only saw a small part of the other one so just in case: thank you so much for sharing this!!
i only had one my little pony doll growing up and it was ivy! i didn't know anything about mlp, i just had this one doll as well as a herd of realistic ponies and horses. i named her "jewel" because of her eye crystals. so nice to see this video!
I actually used to own this pony, I was veryyy little so I didn't even know it was G2!! Amazing to see it again
J'avais ce G2 !
Ici en France il y en avait énormément, beaucoup de petites filles en avait et quelques années après les brocantes en étaient remplies 😁
C'est mon design préféré, je suis de 92 et n'ai pas connu les G1, et je les trouve "patauds" et "bébés" à côté de la ligne élancée des G2. Et puis énormément de G2 avaient des crins métalliques brillants en plus du petit cristal dans les yeux, donc forcément ça m'a attirée lol
Je pense que je vais reprendre la collection de G2, j'avais commencé à récolter des Grand Champions mais tu m'as trop donné envie de ravoir des G2 ! 😭
Ivy was one of the few i had so I have such a soft spot for her 💚
That's great, she's a beauty 😊
My favourite generation! I love their silhouette and proportions, the eye diamonds, and some of their colour schemes and/or cutie marks still look lovely and unique (e.g. Silver Swirl, Princess Crystal, Prince Firefly, Copper Glow, Princess Golden Light, Princess Silver Rain, Clever Clover, Miss Painter), You did such a good job, as always!
Aw she looks lovely,i don't
think I've ever seen a G2 mlp
before,but they look really nice 🌼
Thank you 😊😊 I'm glad you liked her!
Never seen one of those before! That's a lovely sculpting.
I fully agree 😊😊
The cat meowing is adorable! 💕
That's one way to describe it 🐱😂
Very impressed by the uv treatment, really works wonders!
Found your channel just today and enjoyed your repair videos a lot! I even felt nostalgic enough to draw some ponies after a long time 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed them ☺️☺️ And that they inspired you to draw!! That's awesome!
i had a handful of these and loved them so much ❤ still have them and some of their set pieces in storage
(I have some videos to catch up on in terms of commenting, I hope you don’t mind)
I just realised I never posted the original comment to this video 🙃
I was so happy when I saw this video, I grew up with g2. I unfourtunately sold all of them in my tweens but I reclaimed my favorite from ebay right before christmas in 2021. Copper Glow will forever be my favorite and I used your videos as a guide when I restored her 💚
Ivy's colors are BEAUTIFUL, such a gorgeous restoration. G2 is so underrated, they're kinda the supermodels of My little Pony. Long legs and bedazzled.
I love the expression on her face. So cute.
She is really cute 😌😊
your cat has impressive range, never heard one that could just go kitten mode. The pony looks fantastic too!
She’s so pretty! Yeah I don’t even see many G2 ponies so this was a treat
I'm glad you like her too 😊😊
I've never seen a G2 pony, they're so cute! Also please don't apologize for cat interruption, what precious meows :)
Thank you so much 😊🐱
She became so beautiful! What a transformation!
I also love the G2 toy style, and Ivy is indeed one of my favourite ponies :D
G2 are my babies! Ivy has never looked happier after 25 years than she does now. You're awesome!
yaaaaaay G2!!! G2 is my favorite even though I never grew up with ANY mlp toys. I like that they actually look kind of like horses compared the other gens.
a tip for a more relaxed hairdo would be to wrap the hair around the pony's neck, and the tail a couple times around its leg! since the body parts are thicker than the perm rollers the wave is more subtle but it still has a nice flip :D wonderful work, hope to see more g2s! I always loved them more than the g1s as a kid - something about their more expressive and somewhat more realistic proportions made them more appealing to me I think. she looks stunning c:
Thank you for your message and for the tip! I do this sometimes, but in this case it kept getting tangled in the mechanism and I was feeling very clumsy so I gave up 😁
I like how My Little Pony has G1 and G2s like Transformers... very cool.
True!! I wish they did modern interpretations of the ponies though! Transformers has some cool reimagining. At least both have dinosaurs :D (MLP has one)
@@RetroGeekCrafts I agree. Do you do restorations on Jem dolls? I think you do She-Ra, right? I'm in the middle of working on a Gobot myself. ;)
I cannot recall ever seeing a G2 pony. Literally, ever. The G1 and G3 are what I knew. It's like Canada skipped the G2's altogether.
Wow! I got one in a bundle a while ago and was a little surprised (thought it was a fakie). But they seem to have been quite popular here!
I grew up with G2 before I started collecting any other gen and they have a special place in my heart
That's so nice, I'm so glad you still have them! ☺️☺️ Thank you for watching 💖
She looks fantastic after her spa. very pretty!
Thank you 😊😊
Ivy es uno de mis ponis G2 favoritos! Y a pesar de tener moldes un poco raros, la G2 me fascina! Espero ver más restauraciones como esta ❤️🥰
Espero poder hacer más G2. Son más difíciles de encontrar, sobre todo en mal estado, pero me ecantó trabajar con Ivy asi que espero poder hacer otros 😊😊
I had a magic motion Ivy as a kid, I actually recently acquired a gently used one second hand on ebay that also came with a McDonald's Happy Meal toy Ivy which made me happy and was a nice addition to my modest MLP collection.
EDIT: The crystal is supposed to be pink if you're going for manufacture accuracy, but the silver one looks nice too
Oh nice!! I'd love to see one working properly ☺️ I've seen the McDonald ones, they look cute!
It's the first time i see a G2, im not a huge fan of the older G's but they're so cute!
I'm really glad you liked her 😊😊
she looks stunning omg!! had never seen G2 ponies before and she's so beautiful 🥺🥺 you did an amazing job! and think your cat wanted to join in in the video x'D so cute
this made me so happy!! i never had my little ponies myself as a kid but i always coveted my cousin’s, and when i was a teenager and saw g1 and g3 ponies on the internet i was sort of confused by how different they looked from how i remembered… years later i realized my cousin’s were g2 ponies, and given they seem to be in short supply, the toy collector in me is retroactively kind of horrified at the fact my cousins had them as pool/bath toys 😨 i think g1 is aesthetically my favorite, but i still have a soft spot for g2. glad to see this one restored so nicely ☺️
Thank you so much for your message, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video ☺️☺️ G1s will always have a special place in my heart but I have to say I'm really happy I discovered G2s. And finding out that they were only made for a year in some places makes them even more special! And yes, I remember my own ponies and I'm horrified by the haircuts I gave them (I unfortunately lost them a long time ago. They'd be really sought after today!)
Wow extremely entertaining and an Adorable Pony! Your editing is great and the commentary is very sweet. Plus that cat is just too cute! screaming like that!
Thank you so so so much 😊💞
G2 pony are beautiful. They look so interesting and unique. I want one.
I think this is the first G2 pony I’ve seen. Nice job on cleaning her up, she looks great. The UV Chamber works wonders. Would be very interested to find out how the head/leg mechanism works. If you are able to figure it out please do a video on it.
Very smart to use a tool to apply the super glue. Those tubes aren’t made for precision application. Small suggestion, use a separate tool to apply the glue and another to position the work piece. Prevents you accidentally glueing something you don’t want glued... ask me how I know 😹😹😹 For a larger piece, I use a tooth pick, it’s cheap and disposable so I don’t have to clean glue off my tools. For a more precise application on a small piece, a needle or straight pin works great.
That poor baby kitty, so deprived! Give Boo some love, and tell him my kitties said hissssss 😸
Thank you so much for sharing your tips! I'm quite bad at keeping my tools clean, not gonna lie. It's a skill I need to practise ☺️ I'm glad you enjoyed the video (and thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it). I will send your regards to Boo ☺️
ugh I love G2 ponies. They're so pretty. Great job! She came out looking amazing
Thank you so much 😊😊
SHE'S SO PRETTY.
OH THOSE LITTLE KITTY NOISES
Shes so precious
She is the best 😊😊
@@RetroGeekCrafts my kitty always likes to lay on my drawing tablet as im trying to use it.
waaaah she was my first pony
A G2 pony!! I never see those how exciting! I hope we see more
I'm glad you liked it 😊
I love your cats ;u; they are cute ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I get to the point where I don't know what is the best thing about your videos, your art or your kittens
Than kyou 😊😊
Love this restoration. Now I know about peroxide treatment possibility! 😊
Thank you 😊😊 Yes! But DO NOT use benzoyl peroxide (comes in acne creams) because it bleaches the ponies. It has to be hydrogen peroxide, or hair cream salon.
@@RetroGeekCrafts yup, I know of the bleaching. Ppl who use acne creams show careful applying only on the dirty spot. It's just, our country doesn't sell acne peroxide creams (forbidden) and I was seeking for another way, seems I've found it 😚
my goodness Ivy! I need to dig up my old ponies from the storage, see in what condition my Ivy is in 🩵She didn’t look like a “main character” and came with no accessories afaik, but I also loved her very much as a kid, always gave her a very demure, very mindful character 😂
I love her! I own this pony and a few others from the generation, so its super neat to see her cleaned up :) Maybe someday I'll try restoring some of my old collection
Tahnk you 😊😊 I hope you give it a try, it's a great hobby!
My first MLP!
Started a long obsession, but mostly for the G2 ones, I have a bunch, and I love them all :D
Oh yeah, and originally her eye jewels are pink, but the ones you used look cute on her too :)
So pretty!!! I’ve never seen G2s! 🦄
I’m looking forward to the mechanism repair! It will really finish it off!!!
Btw, are you going to show you painting the bases for the Sea Ponies?
Thank you so much 😊😊 I'm going to paint the stands very soon!
Ah, I have a soft spot for G2 ponies, I am happy to see you restoring one. For future reference, apparently, the exact crystals used for the eyes are Swarovski rhinestones.
Additionally, The Lavender Lagoon has some information on G2 restoration, in addition to general information about these ponies.
Ohh wow, I will look into them for the next one ☺️☺️ I really want to do more G2s!
I've never seen a G2 before either. I find the face shape creepy but the pose is really nice. The silver crystals look great. Her tail came out nicely too.
Hehe I'm glad you like Ivy despite of her face 😂
Me encantaria ver la restauracion de un G3 un dia. Seria genial😊
Estoy buscando uno! Espero hacerlo pronto ☺️
I love watching you RUclips channel. It's giving the courage to try to fix some of my G1 ponies that I keep.
Had to laugh when your cat got demanding for pets. As my cat does the same thing, but at 3am....lol
Thank you so much 😊😊 That's so great to read! I hope you do it an have tons of fun. Boo is very vocal. Also at all times. I usually have to edit the meowing out but this time it was everywhere xD Shoes amazing though 🐱❤️
In the “meta” of my play universe, G2 ponies were a special kind of rich, royal blooded ponies. Often a little spoiled, and very high ranking. 🤭
Nearly all of my ponies were hand-me-downs from my cousin, some in good condition, some not so much. In the large pile of ponies, only two of them were G2, and only one of them still had her crystal eyes. She was crowned the queen of my ponies for being so fancy. 😅😋
I love G2 ponies! I think they have the coolest body proportions over all generations. I like how they are more slim than chunky. :P
They are very, very pretty 😊😊
The normal G2 ponies, like Sky Skimmer, can have the heads removed easily, and are actually really easy to restore and give new hair. I haven't taking a posable one apart yet, but I do have one that turns the head when you spin the tail knob.
I love seeing some variety with other types of pony toys though
I was reading about them earlier in the week and most things I saw said that opening them breaks the mechanism. So I didn't want to risk it! Not yet at least 😊
I haven’t seen any for sale, but I found this website a while ago, it’s called mlpmerch it has pictures of almost all the ponies, also if you tap on the generation u get different categories! 😁 PS: Ivy looks AMAZING!!!! I love her! 😄
Thank you so much for your message and for the tip ☺️☺️ I will check the website!!
I know that G2 ponies are so rare, cause they weren't that popular so is like a unknown generation!
She looks beautiful
Like always you make a miracle in them
Yes, I don't normally see them around. I'm so glad you liked her 😊😊
I HAD THIS PONY! Omg I am so Happy to see it Restored! For Some weird reason I keep Feeling like this IS my old Ivy....
I'm so happy the video (might have) brought back good memories ☺️☺️
I grew up with G2. Lightheart and Ivy were my favourites. I had Lightheart's stable playset.
They are great ☺️☺️
