1983 My Little Pony G1 Applejack Vintage Toy Restoration - MLP Hasbro Toy Repair and Rehair

This My Little Pony Applejack was in good condition save for some marks and missing hair. The tail was long gone but most of the mane was in place. I cleaned it with warm water and soap, magic eraser and little (off the camera) grime remover. I also removed some marks with acetone. I then re-haired her with new restoration nylon hair and styled her with the simple "wrap and paper towel" technique.

NOTE: Be careful when you clean marks with acetone, never apply to symbols or eyes because it will erase them! Also wash after applying, as acetone can damage the vinyl if left on it.
