[@e-groland7247]

Hiii its Eve!! Im so so happy how my pony turned outt!! It looks amazing !! You are so so talented and cant wait to see moreee videos like this ❤❤❤thank you so much!!! You are amazing!!

[@emmaorlich7427]

Sorry For that. Did you have a special name for "Starshine"? My ponies all got nicknames. 😅 I feel too crazy for my "Tortie" a smurf or "Tine" my sisters best friend. 😅

[@emmaorlich7427]

@@e-groland7247 Just like our first barbie. My sister and me played a funny game. In the end the barbie wasn't that pretty... 🫣

[@UmbreonLuv1]

How were you able to send her the pony? I've been wanted to send her a pony of my own as well, but I don't know how!

[@melissagagnon1213]

My mom got rid of all my toys once I got to highschool. I wasn't allowed to keep anything. It's so nice to see people getting their childhood friends restored back to their former glory. I love watching these special things getting fixed up : 3

[@dummkopfi]

I had a similar experience with my mother, except I left to live with my father when I was 11 after years of neglect and abuse from her so she threw out ALL of my childhood belongings.. Toys, clothes, you name it. I have a hobby of finding my favorite childhood toys at thrift stores! I don’t plan to have children, but if I ever did have a little girl, I would probably give them to her to love and cherish. ❤

[@bsignsstudios]

That's sad

[@AgrestisAnima]

Man this sucks. Once you are an adult you can buy those things again!

[@vioIetharmon]

my mom didn't get rid of mine, but she definitely always tells me to. i dont mind getting rid of some, but im always keeping my ponies ❤ i just got some blythe dolls too haha and apparently, 17 is 'too old' for toys, which i dont agree 😋💕

[@bsignsstudios]

@@vioIetharmon You are NEVER too old for toys

[@henrywalsh]

The love and care you put into these restorations is unmatched. Even though I was a boy, born in 1980, I loved My Little Pony. I used to steal my sister's ponies to play with them. I don't have any old toys, but your videos make me so nostalgic I've been thinking of looking for a vintage pony just to relive some happy memories.

[@charlafox5701]

Thrift stores and yard sales are usually where I find vintage ponies! They aren’t always in the best shape, but just a wash and a brush can do amazing things!

[@DreamLionViolet]

She looks stunning! She looks like a Pegasus version of princess Celestia!

[@blightwingdragon9467]

They glued that mane in good xD so nice to see the story behind the pony and the owner x

[@maif.7055]

I'm a wig stylist, and the best way to get that super fluffy synthetic hair is by crimping it! Basically you want to crimp the hair (turn the heat setting on the crimper as high as you can without melting the hair) and then brush through it with a round brush to remove any crimp marks while retaining the fluffy texture. Hope that helps (: There's some good tutorials on youtube and tiktok on how to achieve this if you look for cosplay wig tutorials!

[@maif.7055]

Also, the hair you were sent to rehair the pony with looks like braiding hair, so you can always search for that if you want hair that comes already textured!

[@Cadychan]

It's wild to think of what historical events these ponies have witnessed. I'm happy these get a beautiful glow up and a happy retirement. :)

[@emalinewitcher8233]

The hair reminds me of very finely crimped nylon! Cosplayers use the technique to make fluffy and very stylized wigs! There are a few tutorials on youtube about the process, but thats what the hair looks like from just a visual standpoint! It also could be a kind of textured kanekalon? the type of hair extensions some people use for braiding and elaborate hair styles! But to me personally, as a cosplayer and customizer, the hair looks like crimped nylon! Basically, the process is just a lot of delicate small sections of hair crimped very finely then brushed out to give a wavy/textured finish to the normally very smooth and slick nylon. In the end, it ends up being much easier to style and ends up looking fuller over all! I would def look into it since you really liked that hair texture!

[@kharmachaos667]

I love hearing your little voice-over mistakes and little miswords and little hype-up moments for yourself. You don't edit yourself down until you're picturesque and "perfect".... you are just, you. And it is delightful and comforting to listen to you because you are so human. Don't let anyone ever tell you you aren't perfect just the way you are.

[@brianahawkins8124]

She looks beautiful, she does look like Celestia as a Pegasus. Safe travel back home Starshine.

[@fernbrisot325]

What a lovely thing you do for your viewers. You are kind and caring and I could watch your content all day. I am sure Evelyn will have many more years of joy with Starshine. Thank you for sharing this lovely restoration.

[@schaschia6332]

adorable how you scold the giraffe for spilling

[@chaoreic]

i think that's the most glue i've ever seen inside a pony! you did an amazing job breathing life back into her, keeping aspects of the old while also introducing a fresh and personal touch. i'm sure her owner is so proud to be able to call her their own

[@ArmundJay]

this is probably my favorite pony you've restored! the colors are just gorgeous, and the white body and simple symbol help those colors to not look too busy. a beautiful pony, and a wonderful restoration.

[@Reismiilch]

OMG I was born 1993 in Germany and I remember playing with the first generation MLPs!! Heaven knows where these ponies are now bc my family gifted all toys to other families.

[@SkitSkat674]

As soon as you took her out of the packaging I fell in love with that pony. You made her look beautiful again and I feel the pastel colored hair is so much better than the original bright colored hair. I googled images of this pony and saw there were two of them. The other version was a prancing pony. I much prefer this demure little beauty. What a wonderful job you did with her.

[@spacedbabaylan]

Thats amazing! We were talking about Starshine in the discord and now we are blessed with a new vid, it's Starshine! Amazing vid as alwsys Ysela! 🎉 she looks beautiful

[@paulinamannschterm1198]

Hair material looks like kanekalon. Love this video so much!

[@abbey2cold]

Kanekalon is very good for styling since it takes heat so well.

[@luckynumber1358]

wow! I thought american starshine was beautiful, but these colors are stunning! great work as usual

[@AyaBlue22]

VERY cute, but, I also like the giraffe water dish!

[@stroodledoodles]

Seeing these well loved ponies get glow ups always warms my heart, she turned out wonderful!

[@ShadowHeartValentine]

a new pony video! its like a wake-up gift

[@sumish8397]

I'm so so happy to see other Romanian fans, Evelyn's story is so cute and I'm so happy this pony got such a great treatment!

[@augieslove]

No soy una profesional, pero hace unos años, yo iba al salón de africanas para trenzarme el cabello y las extensiones de cabello sintético para “box braids” que las estilistas usaban era del tipo que mencionaste en video. Creo que la textura le llaman “Yaki”. Así que si quieres este tipo de cabello sintético con esa textura que te gusta, puedes ir aun beauty supply or buscarlo en la web, vienen en muchos colores, incluyendo “ombre” que es los que empiezan de un color y terminan en otro!

[@aspn8235]

!iba a commentar este exactamente! pienso que tu eres correctamente, no se del nombre de la textura pero creo tambien que es pelo sintético para trenzando. (perdóname para mi español imperfecto, estoy un estudiante :D )

[@fairyduckling]

I've never seen anyone use zip ties to secure a tail insert/reroot, that is so smart!

[@LeftLefttheGecko]

Every once in a while the algorithm brings me here, and it’s always a nice wholesome nugget in an otherwise chaotic life I’m living.

[@ZestyAqua]

I love this! ❤️ My cousin had the My Little ponies, not me. 1980s first generation she has or had, not sure. Remember having literally no interest in them because she had real horses the actual animal so, plastic vs. The live action version preferred the real life horses, 💩 and all. Best memory trying to teach myself to horseback ride on my own no saddle (come from a figure it out yourself fam) & off goes Thunder through a forest learning to dismount via tree branch. Be sure to fall loosely. Lessons My Little Pony plastic toys didn't offer. What I love is you do it for free, inspiring others, and uplift the other person who had a fond memory to something you refresh giving it a new "life" another chapter. That is what I love about this. It's a style of being a person to another person with consent & context, not exploitation, sharing skills together. Glad it popped up! God bless.

[@KataStari84]

Wow - it's INCREDIBLY AMAZING!!! I love it!!! If I didn't live in Germany, I would also send you my old things to restore! ❤

[@mistingwolf]

Wow, Starshine looks fantastic now! She sure has a lot of love~

[@vikkidoodle8121]

Amazing!!! I love your videos and how you care so much not only about the toys, but the people that are connected to them as well! The sharing of Miss Evelyn's story really puts into perspective how different things were for people around the world during those times. Can you imagine? A family going to a completely different country and finding the prettiest one thing that would make their little girl happy. This is a beautiful story of family coming together, and her joy with having this pretty little pony spread to her entire family. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ruthiewitter569]

What a beautiful pony!! What a precious story, and a lovely video! This was amazing!!!

[@sava_alesia]

The restauration is awesome! Now Starshine looks like a brand new pony

[@somethinginnocuousindahouse]

you did an amazing job with Starshine! I had her in the 80s, also a gift from Grandma

[@ripple-effect-mlp]

Starshine looks almost like a pre-Alicorn Celestia!

[@ThatBananaHatCat]

Oh my gosh you're right!

[@luisacretu9553]

That's so cool, I'm from Romania too, and I had a colection of ponys since when I was little... Unfortunately, I lost it when I moved out...

[@wild180]

The result is incredible! What a gorgeous glow up for the mare

[@fyreice3697]

Oh she turned out so beautiful!! I love her hair so much the curls held their shape beautifully

[@chrissysdollies]

Beautiful story and a gorgeous restoration. I always love when your kitty makes an appearance too 😂

[@hannamoonfly]

you are such a amazing person helping restore childhood toys and memories along with them :D (ps that giraffe water cup thing is adorable) also what is the name of your tuxedo kitty

[@MiriamTV2]

I think it's kanekalon hair, mostly used for braids, but I could be wrong. ^^; What a lovely restoration, with such a touching story.

[@JakubCerlica]

wow, another amazing pony glow-up Yisela❤ So glad Starshine has another chance to.. shine 😄Also, so happy for Evelyn, I know the feeling when restored pony comes back to you, pure joy ❤

[@Deby_Bumblebee]

Yay another one!!! This is one of my favorite ponies you had restored, her colors are beautiful and remind me of Princess Celestia

[@bluejayskies93]

My guess for your tattoo is a Ming vase/Chinese porcelain styled dragon! Beautiful work as always :)

[@Faefire]

This type of hair (Sadly I don't know what kind it is either) seems to hold the curls very well. The pony turned out amazing and really shines. It's like it got a new life. I'm so happy for Evelyn and Starshine. Sidenote: I really liked the music as well. It seemed to suit the restoration of this pony very well and was really relaxing. Thank you for doing such great work and greetings to your cats.

[@danielleburkard3088]

I know you're always worried about the music, but you nailed it this time! It sounded like falling stars (perfect for this pony)! Anyway I love that you restore vintage toys, explain the backstory of them, both the person and the lore if possible, and brighten our day with your wonderful hobby. You're as passionate about it as I am with my cross stitching (my hobby!) and from one crafter to another, I respect how much effort you use to share it with the world!

[@TrigunKittie]

I really love the way the curls look with that type of hair!! 😍

[@missmew5240]

Talk about nostalgia! My first My Little Pony was Blossom. I also had Starshine and Sunbeam and a bunch of others I can’t remember their names. I can still smell the plastic! My mom and Grandmère bought me a carry case that was pink and resembled horse stalls. I remember having plastic pony shoes/slippers. Also had the Cloud ☁️ Rainbow 🌈 Shower. I’m not ashamed to say that I played with them until I was 12! Back when kids could be kids ❤ thank you for this video…it made me smile 😊

[@matildathereseable]

This was probably my favorite look so far, especially the mane! The colors are gorgeous and the way you styled it is perfect, love the ear poking out!!

[@mokko759]

What a lovely pony this Starshine turned out to be! I actually prefer this colour palette for the main and tail, compared to the original. It has a soft, aurora borealis vibe to it. As for your tattoo, is it a hippocamp?

[@fee-bleue]

Oh, what a nice job, the colors are so beautiful ! I didn't notice before that we could safely put peroxide on the symbols and eyes. Did you ever try to put some on a glittery cutie mark ? My rainbow Sunlight has mold just in the middle of it, and I don't know how to help that babe without destroying the paint. 🤔 And also, the hair is so cool, it's new, but with a vintage "less shiny" look. Really nice.

[@SyrenDeeVOA]

Been watching your channel for a long time now and I absolutely love your restorations!!! Makes me wish I had access to some of my old MLP toys to get restored.

[@SlenderWolf109]

That hair holds a curl REALLY well, excited to see if you can get your hands on more!!

[@lachauntiswashington231]

The hair is beautiful ❤

[@cassie.m.0723]

I have so many ponies from my childhood, and a few i bought later as an adult. They're currently tucked away in a box in my closet, but once i finish painting my walls I want to put up some shelves, get my ponies all clened up, and then display them ❤

[@annareifer2249]

uhhh the Pony looks fantastic! Good job

[@its_Leo1927]

YESSS ROMANIA MENTIONED

[@DC-bp8sx]

I don’t have much interest in repairing old toys but this was fascinating to watch. I subbed because you do this for your subscribers for free and I don’t know anyone else who would do that, you seem like a good person. A lot of people with toys in this condition are older people with a small income and couldnt afford to pay to get their toys fixed, so I’m sure it means a lot.

[@chicodepuertorico1450]

Your sigh of relief when you finally got the tail out ^____^

[@ShellyS2060]

That was an amazing glow up! You do fantastic work. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@kittencatnyanya]

So beautiful! You might be able to get that kind of hair texture by using a crimper on the hair and then brushing out the waves. Cosplayers use this technique to make fluffier wigs.

[@scipunkdollstudios4081]

Amongst witches, a triangle with a line through it typically means an Air Symbol. Amongst music fans, it means Pink Floyd lol!

[@samanthadean1083]

Fantastic job!!! I’m currently going through all my belongings, maybe I’ll find something for you to look at!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@spaceravine8751]

you're a beautiful person with a beautiful heart. i hope all goes well for you and this channel. can't wait to see more. i love people who do restorations because they're truly passionate about it.

[@vs94s1]

Lovely! I believe that is braiding hair she sent you ^^

I know you've probably already answered this before, but where do you get your music from? Is it the KZbin Audio Library? Or do you use another source for royalty free music? Thanks!

[@GBomberFlora]

This was beautiful. I loved the texture of that hair that was sent too.

[@BonnibelLecter]

She looks lovely, you did a wonderful job!

[@Lyeah73]

Beautiful! I love the hair texture ❤

[@Lunathraa]

That hair is a thing that I use for my cosplay wigs. If you search for braiding hair you will find a lot of versions. But you can turn your nylon hair into these with a hair crimper ( that iron with teeth) and a hair iron. Also, beautiful work my dear.

[@paulinebonafous6623]

I couldn't get a good look on my phone screen, but the hair texture you described might be due to crimping? Amazing work as always!

[@rugwaterr1231]

another lovely video :D i think if you wanted to try to mimic that hair texture, maybe you could try using a small hair crimper? i suggest looking at videos of cosplay wig makers, since they do that technique a lot to get rid of shine and add texture!! :D good luck!!

[@hannahlamagna]

💗

[@caprituna]

your nails in this video made me think of G4 pony Bonbon!! so pretty :D

[@federica.bizioli]

I also super super love ROM chocolate, it's sooo good and in Italy I can find it luckily. I think the pony looks so good, I love the design

[@PetitePêche]

[@beatrizlioness]

This one sure is a very special pony!

[@rainbowlack]

This was so sweet ❤️❤️❤️

[@raphsnails8620]

I love you videos i always wanted a g1 my little pony. I was a 90’s kid but they must have been out of my families price range at the time. Maybe i will buy an old one and try fix it up like you do 🥰 they are so sweet and beautiful.

[@itsorigano4870]

Very beautiful work as always!! I also really want to curl my Starshine's hair but I'm so scared of messing it up! I only bought her this year so she's not My old toy, but I still love her!

[@Shin_chan20]

That hair and its texture reminds me a lot of kanekalon braiding hair! That might actually be what it is, I’d look into if you’re interested in this specific hair type!

[@wooziibaby]

i’m more than sure the hair in question has that texture because it’s kanekalon braiding hair. it comes in so many colors but as someone who’s all too familiar with it, i will say the way it can tangle is very irritating though. i hope this helps and i love your videos 🩷

[@IRwuzzle]

I love that your nails match 😄

[@monstergirl3040]

I have this pony! She had stayed so white.

[@M.C.P.]

Primo video che vedo di questo canale, mi è piaciuta molto l'atmosfera rilassata, e bravissima sia nel restaurare dei veri e propri ricordi d'infanzia sia nel montaggio del video, mi è piaciuto molto il fatto che ci sono i crediti per le musiche di sottofondo! Grazie per la condivisione.

[@janpanplant]

i love your videos!!

[@dinstraction]

I think the hair may be 'festival hair'? it's extensions used to braid into real hair for festivals for a colourful look! perhaps something to look into to purchase more colours for future ponies! :)

[@poodle9557]

oh my I didn't know I needed this until I saw it. Result is beautiful. I am from the 80ies Germany and I should had a whole Box of these. They were amongst my favourite toys. I could not bring myself to give these away, neither do I feel good about keeping them as obviously the softeners they used in the plastic by them is rather harmfull :/ maybe I should dig them up and have a look. Mine have kept their hair mostly but I am afraid my mom put them in the basement and they might be moldy :(((

[@Myriako]

Thank you for this video! 😀🌻🌻

[@himbaek8533]

My guess for the tattoo is either Bender from Futurama or the Toad from the Frog & Toad books 😂
