1984 My Little Pony G1 Night Glider Vintage Toy Restoration - MLP Hasbro Toy Repair and Rehair
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- A challenging pony restoration with a tragic accident. I considered not showing my ugly mistake but I think it can help others. So here it is, the process of cleaning and re-hairing a MLP G1 Night Glider and some what-not-to-dos. (Note: Although I spent days trying to whiten the tail, the yellowing just never went away so I decided to redo it as well. I'm sending the owner the original tail so she can exchange if she so desires!). Night Glider is a G1 Twice as Fancy My Little Pony released by Hasbro in 1984.

I have Night Glider in my collection. Thankfully I purchased her from a collector who took really good care of her ponies.
I have to send this one back to her owner but I'll definitely look for one for myself because... LOVE!!! They're not easy to find in England, the one from the video was from the USA and took months to arrive (because of her condition, though, she had a good price). Neither of us expected the peroxide to work, I think. Pretty happy it did :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts Do you happen to know anyone who is selling the German exclusive pony named Nightlight?
How much did you purchase her for and where from? The only times ive seen her been sold its rare and for atleast 80$ minimum
I don't know of anyone, but if you haven't I would suggest joining one of the MLP G1 groups on facebook. They have thousands of members and lots of ponies for sale :)
She was sent to me for a restoration, but I believe the owner paid something like $40 when she bought it (plus shipping to the UK). I've never seen one selling for less than 120. After having worked on her and seeing her up close, I think she's worth it :) Such a pretty pony.
Honestly it unsatisfieds me that you are so critically underrated. That is so sad that someone with great editing and great peacefully restorations and good quality videos. Honestly I wish you the best for you're youtube channel keep up the amazing work.
Wow, thank you so much! I'm quite new to RUclips and I love doing the restorations so I hope more people will discover the videos eventually -- but I'm having a lot of fun in the meantime :) I'm quite overwhelmed by the positive feedback. Thank you so much for your message!
I just looked at the subscribers, and I'm shocked that its only 3k.
@@RetroGeekCrafts is night glider for sale
@@mehchocolate1257 I don’t think she’s on sale because I think somebody sent night glider the owner of the pony to get restored from retro craft
I'm so glad that your channel was recommended to me. I absolutely love doll customizing videos but there's something so satisfying about a toy restoration. I can't wait to binge what you have up and see what projects you do in the future!
I'm so glad you found the channel and are enjoying it!! I have a few ooak dolls in the making but they take sooo much time. I hope I can uploading something soon :)
Oh, I had almost the same problem with my Honeycomb... Her head was really hard to get out.. I partly damaged her ring (not at all as in your case, it is still with head, but it is cracked). Seems like glue or something else corroded material.. I don’t know.. Hope, the owner of your pony was not angry.. Because it is very hard to detach head in this case.. And you clean excellent, I am surprised with such good result. 😍
I talked to her as soon as it happened and she was super understanding. I wanted to crawl under a rock. She didn't think the marks would come off at all so she didn't mind the decapitation. Once I saw the holes I tried leaving some of the ring in place but the angle was impossible and the glue wouldn't give up. Luckily, she's very happy with the final result :)
She's beautiful!!! I think I've found my new favorite 80s pony.
she looks amazing, what a cool pony.
She's really beautiful indeed. The colors and design are so great!
Night Glider looks so happy. You really did magnificent work.
Thank you 😊😊
That's really amazing, at first it looks like the pony is out of life, but when you finish fixing it looks like it came straight out of the toy store!
Thank you so much 😊😊
This is probably an unpopular opinion but I've always preferred the first generation to what's coming out now. The newer ponies are kinda creepy to me. I'm glad you're giving these toys the love they need. Fantastic job as always 😊
I will have to agree - with the exception of G4s, they have grown a lot on me. Many of them are squishy too, and feel as friendly as the G1s. Still prefer G1s though :P
I’m so jealousssss, I LOVE night glider and have been trying to add her to my collection!
She is so pretty 🥰 This was a commission but a few weeks later I got one. You can ask in the FB groups, they might have one for sale!
It's so therapeutic to watch you restore old ponies to their former glory, makes me wonder if I'll ever finish my custom
I'm glad to hear that 😊😊 I hope you finish yours!
I love her so so much she sure is one of my favourite ponies of all generations.
She's one of my favourite ones too. I repaired this one for someone else, and a week later I got one for myself :P
@@RetroGeekCrafts I'm pretty sure I used to have one when I was younger but my mom got rid of most of my toys. After watching the video I sure am guilty of looking at sellers online😂
this old pony has the feeling of "chucked in a shed in summer" to a degree
Agree! I still wonder what happened to it!
Wow, she turned out amazing!!
Thank you Leandra! She had a lot of potential :)
I’m starting a game show: guess that pose! You guys have to guess the name of the pose that this pony, Night Glider is using
The _____ Pose
Hint: the pony who first uses the pose has “Pose” in her name and is the inspiration for Fluttershy
I'll let others try it. But it's very... similar pose to the pose :P
Ye
Since nobody else has said, it's posey 💛
@@YourMum-jc4df correct, it’s the Posey Pose! I actually have a pony with the Posey Pose; Trickles. She is one of the rainbow ponies with three watering cans as her cutie mark/symbol
I was going to say Posey, but someone already answered. XD
First it was doll restoration/repaints I was watching but this is equally as satisfying to watch. I hope you can get your own night glider because that is one gorgeous pony.
Also, is it possible the head had came off before and someone used a much stronger glue to put it back on? That could definitely explain why it did that.
Thank you!! I did get a Night Glider, and she's one of my favourites :) I hadn't thought about of the possibility the head was re-glued. That would make sense! You made me feel better :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts I thought that because of how it tore, it just reminded me of a Gen 2 pony I had as a kid that had its head glued back on by a previous owner then it came off again because my sister was a fairly destructive toddler when I had it.
@@lumindoesvideos Yeah, most ponies I get have loose heads (which is actually really convenient for repairs!). Mine growing up definitely had, I played with them all the time -- and I think I also got very curious about what was inside :P
@@RetroGeekCrafts I was the opposite type of child. While I was curious I'd no way have DARED hurt one of my precious ponies or stuffies! I'd have cried if I had "hurt" one of my toys.
@@Just1Nora I was very sensitive but also very inquisitive. I think I liked playing vet, checking how they worked but always putting them back together :)
Another amazing job!! This is probably the roughest one I’ve scene you do.
These little ponies would be eternally great full to you if they could speak❤️
Thank you 😊😊 I was quite scared with this one because I did it for someone else! But I was very relieved to see it worked 🥰
You accomplished a little miracle with this poney. I didn't think you'd be able to improve its body so much, but I'm glad you did, it has fantastic colors. I have so much nostalgia for G1 ponies... I didn't have this one but I had others that you have rescued in other videos (sorry for watching videos out of order...), and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside that you're taking such good care of 40yo toys.
I hope someone takes care of you as much as you take care of them
Thank you so much for your message 😊😊 You're very kind. I love these ponies I'm really glad other people enjoy the restorations. And of course, it's not a problem to watch the videos out of order! (Although I try to test new techniques and improve the "format", and I'm a little embarrassed of the older ones 🥺)
Awww. Love watching every single one get a new life. So nice.
Thank yo so much 😊😊
This music just fits this pony. I’m in love!
Thank you 😊😊
It does!! I'm just picturing Night Glider trotting along on a pathway of stars with planets going by.
Genial trabajo. Quedo espectacular!! Y me gusto tu honestidad al relatar el incidente.
Muchas gracias :) Como en la ciencia, a veces se aprende más de los fracasos que de los éxitos!
@@RetroGeekCrafts Oh, hablas español?
@@woffydoggy686 Si! Soy de Argentina pero vivo en Inglaterra :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts Qué bien! A veces me cuesta escribir inglés, así que si no ne sale ya sé que puedo decirlo en español :)
@@woffydoggy686 Por supuesto! Mi idea era subir el video en dos versiones (una en ingles y otra en castellano) pero RUclips los marcaria como duplicados por lo que decidi agregar solo los subtitulos.
I was recommended your channel and I absolutely love watching all your restoration videos!!!! I also love that you try and save all the hair before you just add new hair!!
Thank you so much for watching the video and checking out the channel ☺️☺️ I try to keep as much of the original as I can, although it's not always possible. But I like to at least keep a little old strand between the new hairs :P
i love that the songs in the videos match the ponies 😭💗
Thank you!! I try to match the general theme but the RUclips library is quite limited so some of the videos are a bit strange :D This song is from Wintergatan, who let you use their music for free/small fee. I suggest you check their videos!
You have done some beautiful work!
Thank you so much 😊😊
Do you do all ponies or just certain ones? I have one that her tail grows, but pulling it then goes shorter by cranking the head, and I cut all its super long mane when I was a kid and the tail is frizzy. Other than that she's in good shape.
I do any and all ponies that make their way to my hands :) I would be a little scared of the ones with mechanisms inside, though! It's a bit difficult to find ponies to repair, unfortunately a lot of people throw them away thinking they have no worth. You can use cheap conditioner or laundry softener to de-frizz the hair. Just soak it in for a few hours, sometimes it makes a big difference!
@@RetroGeekCrafts thank you very much. My mother kept all of mine. Now my daughter plays with them
I love your videos! Where are you based? Do you take these toys to fix only from patrons or anyone can send?
Thank you so much 😊😊 I'm based in England but I'm from Argentina. If you have toys you want to donate, I'm happy to pay for postage. You can contact me through IG/FB.
Wow, these videos are amazing! I watched some recent videos and just now I'm going through and watching them all and not only is your work AMAZING! But the little tweaks to your process and your improvements over time are so incredible and fun to watch🤩😍💕✨🌈
Hi! Welcome aboard! 😊😊 Thank yo so much for your comment. I try to add new things because the process is quite similar each time. Lately I've been adding sounds (my camera is not very good so I can't do ASMR) and voice. And there's always the chance for new hair-dos. But something I definitely want to do more of is customs! 💕💕
This pony is just like trixie!
You're right!! 😊😊
Omg i have a twice as fancy pony too!!! I love her, her name is Up Up and Away!
Ohhh nice!! I love the TAF ponies, they are all so pretty 😊😊
i tried to get her when i collected.. but she is one of my few dream grails 😍
Mine too 😊 I repaired this for someone else... and bought one for myself as soon as I could :P
The music is sooo cute and perfect
Omg amo tu canal, me encanta ver cómo reparas ponys, yo tengo uno desde hace 2 años que quiero restaurar, y viendo tus videos me pondré manos a la obra
😍😍😍
Muchísimas gracias!! Animate, te va a quedar hermoso seguro! Y avísame si tenés preguntas, ayudaré en lo que pueda 😊
@@RetroGeekCrafts muchas gracias que linda 😘 donde te puedo mandar fotos, para que lo veas y le des el visto bueno, tiene manchitas cómo de marcador rosa, crees que con el peróxido se quite?
@@kattiecorgan04 Ayyy esas manchas son terribles, llevan muchisimo tiempo de sacar! Yo tengo un pony con marcas rosas hace semanas en la camara de luz. Puedes mandarme las imagenes por Facebook o Instagram, la direccion esta en la descripcion de los videos :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts Sii, me lo temía a parte tiene como manchas negras de moho el plástico, te mando fotitos a tu IG
Good music choice. Recognised it immediately
One of my fave channels using one of my fave songs in a video! Nice!
Yay!! Thank you for your message 🤗
This is such a pretty pony, she's super hard to get where I'm at (unless 180-500 usd is the budget) you did such a good job making her look good again
Yeah, she's a little difficult to find. I got mine (after I restored this one I NEEDED one for myself) through the collecting groups on Facebook. I paid around 70 euros, in good condition. I suggest you ask in the groups!
I love you your video you really did a great job ♥️I had the same with lickety split 🍨 I was really care full but the head plug is stuck in body and on top of that the pony was full with rust and bad mold 😞 because the head plug was stil in the body it was really hard to clean the feet and to remove the tail im almost don with cleaning the inside then I can glue the head back on and try to save and style the hair
Thank you :) :) It was quite challenging but luckily it was almost perfectly clean inside (the oxi bath took care of it). Getting the tail out took a while though, because of the small hole, I left that out of the video :P Good luck with your Lickety Split, I'm very happy you're giving your pony a second chance too.
Love this pony would definitely add it to my desk corner
I have her in mind 😊😊
Amazing work!
Thank you 😊😊
Hi! I love your videos! And I wanted ask something to you :3 I recently bought sports time and he has some yellowed spots and I don’t know how to clean him :( I tried washing but that didn’t work I thought maybe I could dye him the right color? I would super happy if you could make a video on fixing yellowed ponies have an amazing day!
Hi! Thank you so much for watching the videos :) Do the marks on your pony look "bleached"? If so, it might be acne cream damage. It's important that you keep the pony away from others if this is the case. What's the color of the rest of the pony skin? Dying is definitely an option. I confess I tried dying and used too much colour... that's why there is no video xD I used rit dye, liquid. You need to boil the pony. There are some similar videos if you search for dying monster high dolls - same principle. Feel free to send me a photo through instagram and I can take a look at the damage and tell you if it's the dreaded acne cream.
Really nice job ♥️👌🏻
Thank you :) :)
But why didn't you fix the ring ? I mean pull it out and glue to the head again so when placed it would still move ? What if the owner liked to move/play with the head ? 🙁😞😥
I didn't hold on to many ponies from my childhood, but watching this video inspired me to see if I could find my Night Glider. She was buried deep in the bowels of my closet, and in fairly decent shape. Her hair and parts of her body are yellowed, and she's got one tiny rust spot on her booty from the washer. She's also got some weird discolored spots behind her ears on her neck (like weird little faded spots and acetone did nothing), so I'm going to try to give her some UV treatment.
Quick question before I get to that last step, though:
Would painting over all of her factory-painted markings with water-soluble acrylic work to protect them during the UV process? I just don't think I have the patience for cutting out all that masking tape haha
I hop you can find your Nightglider, it's one of my favourite ponies. Honestly, I don't think you need to cover the symbols because the paint is usually great quality (it's the foreign ponies that have weaker paint) BUT if you do, use tempera paint. It's much softer than acrylics, waaaay easier to remove. I used acrylics on a baby pony and it stripped some of the paint... so tempera. Definitely :) Good luck with your restoration!!
What is the UV procedure? Do you let the peroxide cream dry fist or do you put it in the box wet? How long do you leave it in the box? Do you have wash the peroxide cream off after? If so how do you do that just water or soap and water?
The procedure would be (at least how I do it!): Apply perxodide cream and place inside the box right away. Leave it in for a few hours - minimum 5 or 6. I think once the cream dries, it stops having any effect. Then wash or wipe, doesn't need to be too careful, just clean enough that the new cream can reach the plastic. Repeat this process a few times, depending on the marks. A couple of sessions might be enough for bringing back the colour. Pen marks can take literally months to fade. Once you're done, clean with water and soap. It's generally recommended that you cover eyes and syumbols if you're going to do several sessions. You can use tempera paint, acrylic paint, or just tape.
Those 4 dislikes are from the people who were blinded whit this masterpice and wanted to press like but pressed dislike instead.
Thank you, that's very kind of you to day ☺️🥰
Ooohh I had this one too! Between me and my sister we had so many
I can see! Good collection 😊😊 I hope you still have this one, as it's quite difficult to find!
So beautiful! Love what you do❤
Thank you 😊😊
Amazing!!!
Hypothesis III, the internal ring had already been ripped previously and that's why it was glued the way it was.
Yes! This could be it! The different theories help me deal with the perennial guilt xD
Well, I'm glad my theory helps to potentially alleviate your conscience!
I cant find the lights you used for your chamber. Is there any other listing you can link us to?
Any UV lights will work. You only need to make sure they are Uav and not purple lights (some sellers do that :/). But anything in the range of 10 to 400 nm will have the dame effect. For example: amzn.to/3qYRzcy
@@RetroGeekCrafts thank you so much!
What could be done about a botched head removal? 😅 I used acetone to remove glue from the neck and I think the blade sliced some vinyl x.x would an emery board work?
This happened to me too (the Nightglider pony) and I felt so guilty!! I ended up glueing it back with superglue (gorilla glue). Were you able to remove the other side of the ring? If you, you can use gorilla glue to glue it back to the head part. I the ring is forever attached to the body, like it happened to me, you will have to glue the head.. and it won't move anymore :/
@@RetroGeekCrafts I was actually able to pop out the head but I think the blade jagged up the part of the neck that is on the outside x_x
@@lovelysakura21588 Some battle scars give the pony more personality :P
I love the pony
😊
So why did you use PVA glue on the inside if it’s easily reversible and then secure the head with superglue? What will it matter if what’s on the inside is reversible if you can’t get there ever?
Superglue is also reversible with acetone. I just use three or four dots so it's not coverging the entire ring - more of an aesthetic solution when the head doesn't fit perfectly.
Your music here is giving me Sesame Street vibes. 😊
I think your right about fire damage because she does look a little shall we say crispy?
Yes... I still wonder! Poor pony :(
Me gusta esta pony ☺️
Es uno/a de mis preferido/as también 😊
Hello! It’s me, from the Applejack video who said yeehaw
I think about that comment and smile a lot xD
Yeah. You and VGN are actually the only RUclipsrs I get hearts by other than my brother
And @L.O.L. SURPRISE! TEAM
ruclips.net/video/qpYf83r7IPY/видео.html on that video where I commented about Nightlight and Daybeams
Night Glider is trixie :o
She's quite similar, isn't she? Although Trixie is a unicorn -- but they have the same colors and hair :D
I'm pretty sure there is also a gen 4 character named after Night Glider. I think from one of the later seasons?
I would love a where are they now video of the ponies that had a makeover
Are you kidding me? This pony has Saturn and outer space all over her
I LOVE OUTER SPACE. I’m a huge fan of it!
She's amazing, one of my favourites for sure!! 😊😊
I used to have until my brother burried it in the front yard somewhere. He liked destroying alot of my toys sadly. I miss this one as it was one of the few ponies I ever got to have 😭 hopefully this one gets a loving home!
Oh no!! You know, if you know someone with a metal detector, the tail washer would probably show up and you could find it. You never know, it might still be there and in okay condition!
❤
Are you Brazilian? Is because you are using Vanish and Cif, that have in Brazil. If you are, your job is amazing! Learn english for Brazilian need time. I Love what this pony turn like, is completely New!
I am Argentinian but I live in the UK. Ciff is not very popular here but it's one of my most trusted products 😆 I was very happy when I found it!
@@RetroGeekCrafts yep! In Brazil is more than normal, my mom use for clean furniture and stuff here! Thanks.
I had a few g1 ponies when i was little. I kinda regret getting rid of this as they were my everything as a kid. I hope none were worth alot..
I had some too and they were thrown away / donated / taken (I don't know what happened but they disappeared). Good thing is, you can now buy the common ones for a really good price. I hope you can find yours ❤️
este é um poney que eu não consegui comprar para minha coleção, estou á procura de um até hoje , já faz mais de 14 anos buscando
Oh no!! I hope you can find one. I got it from one of the Facebook G1 collector groups, mine came from Italy. I wish you luck!! ❤️
Honestly, I think the head may have been pulled off at some point so the previous owner may have glued it on with stronger glue??
Yes, that's definitely a possibility! I've never seen another pony like this! 😊
Quedó muy linda.
Muchas gracias!
I love this video, it is so helpful!! Would you be able to tell me what type of shears those are that you use to cut the hair with? And also what are those clamp things called that you pull out the old tail with?
Thank you Shelby! 😊😊 The shears came with a dressmaking scissors pack from Galadim (they seem to be called just sewing shears). The clamp is from a precision stainless steel tweezers set used for jewellery. I think they are from XOOL. I will add them to the video description soon :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts Thank you so much!!! I will try and look for them :)
have you ever tried G2 generations?
Not yet but they are coming very soon!! 😊
One of my classmate had this, I always wanted to have one as a little girl 😢
She's beautiful, I had to get one for myself after doing this one :) Hope you can find one too!
Wow,it's fantastic! I have a question, UV box can yellowish white ponies or is it safe?
As long as you use peroxide cream, it shouldn't yellow them. It makes them whiter. Not sure about the UV light without the peroxide, though. I always use peroxide, cream or liquid.
Una pregunta, qué volúmenes tiene la crema de peróxido de hidrógeno que usas?
@@woffydoggy686 Yo uso volumen 40, 12%. Cualquier volumen e intensidad funciona, sólo que si usas 6% tardará un poco más en hacer efecto.
@@RetroGeekCrafts Gracias! Muy amable ^^
Disculpa, volví a ver el vídeo y me di cuenta de que el peróxido de hidrógeno en crema también necesita rayos UV, entonces qué diferencia hay entre usar este producto o crema antiacné? (Tengo ambos, me falta el Sol)
6:47 dato curioso:en mi país le llaman pega loca
Ohh! No sabía! Que país es?
@@RetroGeekCrafts es aquí en Venezuela
me encanta como al final del video haces que el pony mueva el cabus como presumiendo la crin de su cola n,n 🤭
Think i use to have these types of pony's but sold them.. cause I didn't play with them 😬 i was stupid
Don't worry, only a few people who collect G1 ponies still have the ones from their childhood. Most of us had to start buying again after our parents donated ours to younger kids!
It baffles me when people use the rerooting tool and then use glue .. the glue won't last and be hair will fall straight out . You can never get it wet so styling the hair becomes impossible.
Most PVA glue is water resistant to grade 2, meaning it can sustain several cycles or wet/dry -- but this still reversible, something I consider essential for any vintage toy restoration. I haven't lost any hair secured with glue yet! Sidenote, mmost of these restorations are for display, not really for playing anymore. But if you want them play-teady, I suggest you use fabric glue or gorilla glue instead!
This video was featured in an article of Daily Dose of Pony!
I kind of wonder if maybe a mom super glued the head back on. Maybe a younger sibling decapitated the poor pony. And mom said I got this and super glued the head back on.
That might be what happened! The glue definitely didn't feel like the factory one 😊
