My Little Pony G1 Custom Restoration: Moondancer Vintage Hasbro 1983 Reroot Repair Repaint & Curls

[@milktea543]

I most definitely don’t mind your voiceover as long as you leave us subtitle, aha. As a deaf viewer, it is very rare to see content creators caring enough to caption their videos :) so thank you so very much for that ❤️ beautiful pony, as always, her hair is gorgeous. Got a chuckle out of me when I saw you applying milliput in the pony’s ears, because it looked sorta like she got hearing aids now! Very coincidental, but still a cute thought to have a deaf pony

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you so much for your message, I really appreciate you taking the time to write it ☺️☺️ I now always try to add subtitles, unfortunately this is something I hadn't realized before so there are a couple of videos with small intros and no pasted subs (I think they have CC but I will double check!!). I'm really glad you enjoyed the video ♥️

[@milktea543]

@@RetroGeekCrafts Nah, no worries! The auto did a fine job on these, I think, since the intros were so short and clear. the auto captions generally only have issues with much longer voiced videos and with harder accents. You might be able to see if you can take the auto and tweak them though, but I have no experience with those. Regardless, nah, just go forward. I wouldn’t worry about the older videos.

[@kikidale3386]

I agree, I have hearing loss and my family hates when I have my phone really loud

[@erinbailey7940]

Haha I love the subtle humor in “I don’t mind your voiceover… as a deaf viewer” 😂😂

[@SherioCheers]

Closed captioning takes a lot of time and so many KZbinrs don't have the time to edit and also caption. I used to work for a company called "rev" that does a LOT of KZbin captions but I don't know if it's contracted by the creator or what, and what it costs.

[@lavenderrblossom8230]

The pink and blue hair makes her look a lot like g3 starcatcher! She was always one of my favorites as a kid!

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Oh wow, you're right! I had to search for it because I'm not very familiar with G3s. I love this one now ☺️☺️

[@pamelaaverrett5848]

So thoughtful when you alert us when you are removing the head. Removing the head doesn’t bother my daughter, but we were watching another KZbin channel and they boiled the pony as part of the cleaning process My Abby was horrified!

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

I hadn't thought about it before but luckily someone mentioned it in the comments and I now try to always add it 😊🥰

[@NoirRaven]

@@RetroGeekCrafts and it's appreciated. watching my first custom vid was gruesome. 😰

[@neonice]

It's just a toy.🤨 If someone finds that bad they should especially watch it to get desensitized otherwise you end up being overdramatic about everything in life.

[@squish9479]

I looooove the hair color choice! She’s like a cotton candy dream- reminds me of sunset when there are some pink clouds and stars are coming out too! And I really like the voiceover and subtitles! The voice over I think keeps me engaged since sometimes the music can feel repetitive C:

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

I love that comparison!! 🥰☺️ I agree with the music becoming repetitive, it's also really hard to pick so many songs because the KZbin library is not that big. But I hope to keep polishing the style :) Thank you for your comment!

[@meinhartfrancois]

I really liked the voice-over ! + I didn't feel glued to my screen + you add some elements I'd never discovered before (think of the "glory pose" : I wasn't aware the poses had names beyond "one leg up pose" hahaha - those are details I'd like to hear more of). For the rest, very solid choices, as ever : great music, great pacing, lovely restoration (I was okay with the red hair, but I can see why you chose to replace it with the softer hue of the pink hair). PS : speaking about details a connaisseur might know... are you aware of any details about the cutie marks? Like, what do they mean, is there always a link with their names, are they copyright-protected, who came up with them, etc. That's also stuff that might be interesting to discuss

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you so much for your wonderful message ☺️🥰 I'm really glad you enjoyed the video (and the format test). All the ponies had a story, they usually came written in the back of the cards. There was a little background info that also had to do the cutie mark (I have to confess I know very little of the cartoon, so I'm not sure if the stories were taken from there in any, some or all cases! The stories I know talk a lot about the personalities). This is something I'd love to investigate and include in future videos - along with your idea of the little note, which I haven't shown yet because I prerecorded these videos before going on a little holiday. Again thank you so much for your feedback, I always love reading your comments ☺️☺️

[@meinhartfrancois]

@@RetroGeekCrafts I suppose the cartoon & the cards were part of the marketing, and as such, not tied directly into the toy itself. That would perhaps explain why there are different versions of the same pony. I'm very curious to see what you'll write on your note

[@Marshmallow_Trees]

I love how you keep making the pony “gallop” out of the shot!🦄💕So adorable. Love your channel!

Phewww I was quite worried it might be too much talking ☺️☺️ I'm really glad you liked the video 🥰

[@IntergalacticJu]

I LOVE hearing your voice over. As soon as I heard it I adored it way more than just the music. I hope you continue c: I also love that you did the research for the pony, and the information you give about the different types. I am in USA so I didn't know about the Argentinian ponies until you! And I love hearing more about the toys. Thank you!

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you so much!! 😊😊 That's relaly kind. I would love to talk more about the ponies but I also don't want to tire people, as I can get quite enthusiastic with the research xD I will try to different kinds of videos (ASMR, music only, history-focused) so there's a little bit of everything for everyone :)

[@helenr3242]

I agree with all of this! I won’t get tired of hearing details

[@OmniverousLawnClippings]

I actually just found your channel, I watch you specifically BECAUSE you do voiceover. I like to fall asleep to restoration videos but most of them are visual only, meaning I tend to strain myself. It's also fun to hear about new restoration methods and pony history

[@bashfulwolfo6499]

I love vintage stuff, and the old MLP figures have always been a favorite, I also love cleaning up stuff like this. This definitely is gonna be a fav of mine to rewatch

[@OMNOMNOMNOMNIVORE]

Ahhh shes so cute!! The colors are so dreamy 💙 I do personally prefer these without the voice overs. I like to rewatch them to get to sleep. The combo of the ambient working noises and the bg music is very soothing, but having a random voice cut in can be startling.

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you! I hope to (in the new future) make different versions of the most liked videos. I will mark the ones with voice and make a list of them too, so you can know which ones are music or sound only 😊

[@Rukia12342234]

The transformation here is unbelievable. She looks stunning!! As for the voice over, I really liked it. You've got a combo going with the voice over, captions (which is greatly appreciated), music, and audio from the project. I don't know why but I find combinations like that cozy, kind of like when you're doing arts and crafts as a kid with your friends, and that's the vibe I'm getting from yours =]

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

[@charlene7406]

Thank you so much for doing this. I have the US Moondancer (red and purple hair.) It was my first My Little Pony, and I've wanted to repair her for a long time. Her original cutie mark is with glitter paint, so I managed to order some (the moon is silver, the stars are red), and I'm a little nervous about trying to get the cutie mark to look just right. But I did find some great hair. Her tail fell out long ago, so it will be nice to replace that. I'll definitely be referencing this video as I work on fixing her up.

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

That's great news, it sounds like you have everything you need for a great restoration! I hope the video can be useful 😊 let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help!

[@roriestill6231]

This was a wonderful, instructional video, especially the simple voiceover

[@bolotenha]

The result is absolutely amazing, she looks so white now!! And you also did a great job with the hair. I actually really enjoyed the voice-over, specially with some background facts such as the origin of the pony, the pose, etc (as some other person already pointed out). However, if doing voice-overs are too much trouble, I see no problem with mixing them with some others music-only videos! I honesly like both!

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you so much for your feedback! I would love to talk more about the ponies but I wasn't sure anyone would be interested ☺️ I actually really enjoy recording audio (video not so much xD) so it made me so happy to see how well received it was. I would love to do audio, smbient-only ASMR and music videos, hopefully more frrquently too. Working on upgrading my camera 😁

Thank you so much 🥰☺️ That's a great question! I think I had a dream about restoration but I can't remember what I was working on. It wasn't a pony, it was something like...

@@RetroGeekCrafts ohh that's so cool! if it wouldn't blend too much with the base color, i think just blue, pink and white stars scattered around would be very cute!! or a small "rainbow" coming from behind a cloud, but instead of the rainbow colors, there would be trans flag colors. but honestly basically everything works if the palette is right!

@@RetroGeekCrafts You could do a little Easter egg styled marking! Some trans people refer to the moment that they realized they were trans as 'cracking the egg'. And then it's also still a cute pony that fits easily into the MLP world!

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

I am trying to add sound to all videos now, I think it makes them more... yes, realistic, like you said! Painting or modelling are a bit difficult because there's very little sound. In my case, I have the camera right next to my face so unless there are other louder noises all you can hear my breathing 😅 So I keep those parts silent (with music on top). You also need a good mic and a quiet workspace. I hope to make ambient-sound only videos soon, when I can update my camera! ☺️☺️

[@eledatowle7128]

Just found your channel. I restore Breyer models (to an extent) and am wondering if the peroxide cream would work on their cellulose acetate like it works on MLP vinyl. We "sunbathe" yellowed Breyers, lying them on a towel in a sunny place, to brighten them back up... Looks like I'm going to be making a uv box - I think that's genius!

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

I haven't tried restoring a Breyer model but from my experience doing other toys, I feel it should work well! I'm not sure what the material is. I have done Polly pockets and Star Wars figures (both made of hard plastic) and it worked great, however you have to be careful with any painted areas. I know GI Joe figures can fade with peroxide. I think it depends on the type of paint. I would cover the painted areas with paper tape or tempera paint, just in case! If you check the channel's history there is a video on how to make s UV box, it might help! ☺️☺️

[@eledatowle7128]

@@RetroGeekCrafts Thanks a bunch! We often use a bleach-water mix soaked into paper towels and placed on stained areas, but fading can be an issue there, too. For age-yellowing, we use painter's tape (aka masking tape) to protect pink areas, which uv will fade. Your techniques are great, and we have MLP fans at our business, too...

Thank you so much 😊😊 I am very close to being able to get a new camera and do smbient-sound-only videos. I hope you like those too!

First of all MOONDANCER IS STUNNING!!! Grrrl for real it's amazing look's cute as hell. About music or voice, first I watch your "Celestia OAK" Video and because of a music I love it. It's very relaxing and cool. But your voice is good too so I personally think do as you please grrrl🤗💖🦄

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you so much!! 😊😊

I love the colors you chose, they blend nicely but I'd no longer consider this a restoration so much as a custom inspiration. If anything she seems closest to the Greek Moondancer. But I'm used to restorations being a very strict and exact thing. This is now a custom paint job for this pony inspired by Moondancer but definitely not restored to looking like an exact Moondancer that existed to restore it too. I love the voice-over with descriptions and how you showed each step.

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you very much! I completely agree, I have just changed the title and added the "custom" in the description too :) I don't changet he videos descriptions enough, I need to pay more attention when I take these liberties :P

@@RetroGeekCrafts She turned out amazing! I was amazed to see how many variations exist of Moondancer, I'm pretty sure I owned one of the European ones without even realizing it.

I had the US version of Moondancer; she was white with kind of burgundy shiny hair and burgundy glittered cutie marks that looked just like this. Her eyes were a burgundy red too. And purple, I think.

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Yes! She's beautiful. I love those colours too 😊

I wish I had my toys still. A lot of them were donated to me when I was a young girl so I got to play with a few G1 ponies!! The fact that I didn't get to hold onto them makes me so sad.

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that - hopefully they went to other kids and made them happy. But I hope you can find your tows again!! 😊

I like the voice much better than the music would rather hear voice and the subtitles that you put on as well. My favorite are the pony videos.

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you for letting me know! 😊😊 I need to look for a really quiet, relaxig music pack I can use so the sounds are clearer.

[@PunkRatSoda]

Have to admit I liked the voiceover!!! :D Keep it up!

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you!! ☺️☺️

[@electrofonickitty823]

I love this and also if you need more idea some of the cutie marks had glitter on them for some reason. American ones did for Moondancer, Stardancer, and Twilight Sparkles

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Ah, yes! I need to do a better glitter video 😊 Thanks for the idea!
