😆 the music is utter chaos, tell Mum that's a no from me 😅 The pony is amazing 👏 😍 🙌 Love some morning worm 🪱

[@daydreamgazing9537]

You mentioned not wanting to describe the same process over and over again, but personally, I don't mind that! I also love getting to hear you talk about other things going on, but as some others have said, I also enjoy hearing makers explaining their processes, even if I've heard it hundreds of times before! It gives even new videos a sense of familiarity and comfort -- at least for me :)

[@celebrityguest.9530]

yes, all of this!!! also like... lol even though i watch her all the time i can very easily get lost trying to figure out the process as someone trying to learn how to do things like this myself lol

[@16taysia]

Same for me as well 😊

[@kindofabigtiel]

Me too! I watch tons of doll customizers who always talk about their process (and other things) and it's nice

[@hannahlamagna]

These g1’s are the creepy cute kind I love them

[@Lilcharlie78]

i love them as well ❤

[@caitlinpenny7412]

Yes to the roulette! Could be a really fun to see some crazy combinations. In addition to the base and hair color you could have an “extra” category that would a slightly more involved modification. For example: adding the g5 furry hooves, adding wings, making an accessory like clothes or saddles or food. Would give some fun variety but whatever you do (aka put on the wheel) should be things you think would be fun already. Don’t give yourself anything you don’t actually want to do, we want you to have as much fun making as we do watching you make.

[@jackspaige724]

i honestly enjoy what you've talked about in pretty much all the videos i've seen! but yes, i like hearing abt the process and your inspirations. when you've done those historical ponies, i've been fascinated by the facts you've given. i've also enjoyed when you've talked about the history of the pony you're working with, where you found it, regional variants, etc (especially if it's a restoration rather than a customization).

[@Dovaah]

"Did you just say... hello?" "No, I said allo! But that's close enough." Love Labyrinth! Just found your channel last night and I'm already hooked. As for rust, there's a lot of ways to take care of that! What I prefer to use, myself, is a vinegar soak. Also, quick suggestion! I love that you retrobrite your ponies, that UV treatment- but applying a peroxide paste can lead to a streaky end result. Another great way to retrobrite, if you can find a way to make to ponies not float, is to make a water-peroxide solution in very hot water and the UV lamp. The heat makes a big difference, as does the uniformity of a solution as opposed to a paste!

[@Nanao555]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought this look like that thing

[@mistingwolf]

Regarding the faux fur: to get the best results and to avoid cutting lines into the actual hair fibers, use an xacto knife or a sharp box cutter to carefully cut into the backing as opposed to using a scissor. You'll also lose less of the actual fur this way as well. It takes a little practice to figure out just how much pressure to use, but it'll come out nicer~

[@samanthazeiger1553]

Im here for YOUR personality and art. you could talk about literally anything while you make these and I'd be happy to listen. This is such a unique channel and I don't think there is anything that you could make that I wouldnt be interested in watching

[@charlafox5701]

Something to talk about: I love how in the pony videos, you will talk about the pony’s “lore.” Like where it came from, it’s different versions, your favorite versions, maybe fun facts. Maybe you could tell us stuff about this movie, fun facts, fun facts about the character you’re working on, etc.

[@mostlyghostey]

I love hearing artists talk about their thought process while working. It helps me with my art. So if you could do that while making video I would love it. Also I just like learning more about you! What’s going on, maybe funny stories from your day, maybe that’s more for a livestream but I think it has a place in just videos as well.

[@amyOMNOMNOM]

I love listening to you talk about the process but I also love listening to you talk about little tidbits relevant to the project. Your Minoan custom pony is one of my favourites because it was so interesting listening to you talk about history and your passion for archaeology. Simply talking about whatever you’re interested in is always great because your enthusiasm is really engaging ❤ even if you just go off on little tangents during the video I enjoy listening to what you have to say

[@amyOMNOMNOM]

Btw this custom came out incredible! I love it

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

I'm so glad you like the videos! Thank you so much for your lovely message 😊😊 (and for tolerating my tangents :D)

[@amyOMNOMNOM]

@@RetroGeekCrafts you are one of my favourite creators 😊❤️

[@EddwardTheSeventhSpaceWizard]

I’ve seen the dress and suit from the ball scene in the Labyrinth in real life and when I tell you they are beautiful. They had them on a slow spinning platform with a clip from the movie playing on a nearby screen. It was mesmerizing. Also I kinda love the BBE ponies because they’re so creepy lol. I do prefer the Spanish Piggy Ponies because their eyes look a little too human and I think that’s so funny. I also haven’t seen a piggy pony with rusty eyes. I’ll likely never be able to get my hands on one though so I’ll probably end up getting a BBE. The rust looks like a painful infection so I do think it could be quite satisfying to fully restore one.

[@celebrityguest.9530]

i love him so much!!! he makes me want to have a nice cup of tea!!! in all honesty sarah is such a strong protagonist, that alone would've been enough for me to forget the baby lol. also, i love hearing you talk through the process, and your longer videos in general! as someone who collects ponies and dolls with the intent of restoring them i think these videos are some of my favorites, i feel like this is a very niche hobby with a lot of learning involved and while i spend a lot of time learning on forums and older sites run by collectors, i personally feel like videos like yours stick with me the most! i love hearing about your process and inspirations and i think that story about your family all agreeing on watching labyrinth was so sweet, and as a side note your mom has an excellent taste in music!!! overall though i just have so much appreciation for your channel and the things you do, excellent video as always!! if you do any live streams i'll try my absolute best to make it to those!!! wishing you the best

[@poyzngrey]

I love your customs. Watching your repairs is soothing and educational, but the creativity and problem-solving you show in your custom pieces scratches a different kind of itch and I love it. Having both on your channel is fantastic and I look forward to seeing you do repairs for other retro toys! As far as tools go, perhaps a tiny rotary tool would help you clean up the cutting and shaping of the eyes, but you did a pretty good job with the blades and file. As for the UV resin, there are a handheld tools for UV light. There are cheap curing lamps for nail art, but there are also handheld UV flashlights that you can get for less than $10 (at least here in the US.) Keep going and I hope you're doing well! And don't worry about talking our ears off through the whole process! We love listening.

[@GutenNachte]

The paint job came out so good!! I think the scarf looks really cute tbh. Also! For resin, if its uv cured and small (doll eyes, etc) you can get a little uv flashlight or a uv nail lamp, both are very affordable, work well, and are very reasonably sized. You can also get doll eye molds for pouring uv resin into that work great and let you add things like glitter to the eye to make them extra fancy! I love hearing about your goals and ideas and how you're feeling! The talking never bothers me. As for a suggestion, I'm not super informed about ponies and I'm always curious when you introduce a new line like you did here, maybe while customizing you could tell us a little bit about that pony line and the whys and why nots about is collectors like them or not? I'm so happy to see you branching out and having fun!

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you so much for your message and the ideas! I should have talked a little bit about the BBE ponies, I realise now. I will do that in the next one ☺️☺️

[@kindofabigtiel]

I second that, I always love to hear the stories of the ponies, be it text from the toy boxes or information about when and where they were produced and different regional variants

[@mostlyghostey]

I should mention as well that when you talk through what you are doing it let’s me multitask while watching your video. I don’t find it boring it keeps me up with what’s going on even if I’m not looking at the screen. When you aren’t talking I actually have to find time to sit down and have my eyes glued to the video to catch what is going on.

[@angstybreadstyx1242]

Would love to see more characters from labyrinth in pony form! Maybe Jareth(goblin king) or Ludo!

[@krmu7068]

I like the new eyes, the pony looks attentive. The small dots are very cute also.

[@herpderp3916]

This made me start wondering what a King Jareth pony custom would look like...then I realized that might be even more cursed than the Worm xD

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Oh I would love to try that!! Although I've seen some excellent Jareth customs on FB groups. Fully recommend googling them ☺️☺️

[@katiev.4358]

I love hearing your comments on your projects! Your talking is a wonderful part of your art and I love it all. As for topics of discussion, I'd love to hear more about your inspiration, like what elements you like to translate from other works into your ponies, fun facts about your inspiration of choice, or things like when you summarize your inspiration! You're a very well spoken and informative narrator for your videos so don't worry, we love hearing what you have to add! Also, adore this pony. Totally the perfect balance of weird and wonderful, creepy and cute! Would 100% buy one for my home. Love it all!

[@konoikurozora5851]

I actually watched a 10 hours stream once! Anyway, I like the roulette idea! About this video, I'm thankful for you actually writing on screen the names of the songs used. So very often I listen to a song I love in a video of doll customization or diorama making, and I don't know what it is or how to find it later! Also, the project is suprisingly cute considering the source material AND the base used! I'm stunned!

[@y.m.crookedwood4716]

So cute! And now we need a Ludo Pony🥰

Tbf i am biased because i am very interested in mythology but thats only a related topic. You have a very joyful and adorable way of expressing your interests that enchants me. I don't mind hearing random rambles either though, i think the key is behind mixing it up every now and then :D

Banger video, as always! Don't worry girl, your full commentary videos are lovely and I wish you'd be kinder on yourself! As for topics, I'd love for you to talk a bit about your creative process! What inspires you, what bits and pieces you put together and even your plans for next projects, things you think are cool, anything you wanna put out, really! As always, I'm IN LOVE with your work, and as a huge horror fan, those little eyes you popped off got me thinking... If you use enough of these little dudes for your projects, you may be able to save enough eyes to do a biblically accurate pony/monster little thing! As always I'm excited to see what you do next! Love you!

I really appreciate your thoughtful approach and growing skill base and courage to learn new things.😊

[@xHarpyx]

That worm in the Labyrinth is so flipping adorable, though! I’m excited to see how this turns out Soooo cute!

hearing about the process is really nice and grounding, gives each video a really nice baseline to follow and you can add talks about your inspirations for the specific pony your working on and stuff about your life or any tangents you wanna go on! i love hearing you talk about whatever is on your mind, especially the ideas you have for the type of content you want to create, it feels so comfy and like im catching up with a friend

A giraffe would work with this body/pony just maybe extend the neck then a lock NESS monster, A Llama or Alpaca (all long necked lol) and finally how about patchwork and it could even have button eyes and yarn hair

[@FluffyWonderwolf]

Oh man, I love this movie! The worm is such a cute character, and I was really excited to see you making a pony version of him! In response to what your audience would like to see and hear, the first thing I want to say is that you should do what makes you the happiest and will get you excited to make the next video. Try to minimize burnout and all that, you know? Take care of your mental health! Secondly, I'm happy to give feedback about what I like to see/hear. I'm enjoy hearing about your inspirations, the design process for a character, the reasoning behind artistic choices (putty eyes vs. resin eyes, for example) and cool facts about the subject matter (like Labyrinth). As for the music... I tend to prefer chill vibes because I like to unwind when I watch people work. Like lo-fi beats or um... the music that Poppen Atelier and Ophelia's Soapery uses. I hope that helps! :3

[@lorettachambers1061]

Cool finish...

[@KitsuyuutsuR]

I woke up this morning, feeling horrible… Everyone in my house has come down with COVID one by one and last night I was the last one to start feeling sick, a week after my husband started feeling sick. I took a test this morning and yup, positive… That wasn’t great news… Plus I feel horrible. I ache and my head feels like concrete. Then I watched this video and I feel a little better 😊 Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies. It was released when I was 13 and the worm was always one of my favorite characters! “Come inside, meet the missus!” 😂 Cute little guy! Of course, David Bowie steals that movie from everyone, he was just magnificent! I was going to watch this just a few nights ago, as a matter of fact. Every time I see it, I remind the kids how disappointed I was when they’d act up and I’d say, “I wish The Goblin King would come and take you away right now” and David Bowie didn’t show up looking all hot as Jareth 😂😂😂 They’re in their early 20s, now, so they just roll their eyes at me 😂 But we watched Labyrinth a lot when they were little (my oldest loved the movie) so I used to tell him I was going to call The Goblin King when he was being bad… I don’t think he ever believed he’d show up or maybe he thought it would be cool, I’m not sure 😂 This was such a bright spot in an otherwise crappy day for me. Thank you so much! ❤ And tell your mom I liked the music a lot! She should make more!

[@athenaNS]

I love labyrinth!!😊

[@Nebulon-B_Frigate_FTW]

The end result looks great, a lot better than the creepy monster at the beginning, and very creative. I think that it's a very...ponified take, with a shorter body, which makes it a lot cuter than the original thing. It kind of looks like a Tapir. Also, one detail missing that the original worm had was an end to its coloration on the end of its tail/body, but to add that would require giving yours a bit of a tail, it's like you chopped his tail off.

[@mandycrago]

I am really impressed by this project😊❤

[@cassygore]

I honestly love the video styles, no matter the sound! And I love the video ideas for the future, in my book, it's a definite yes. For ideas on what to talk about: If it's a restoration, the pony backcard story (US if possible, or if it isn't, a backcard story in another country/place). If it's a custom, then the topic can be a few facts (and some info) about the inspiration, and some facts about a character if the custom is inspired by a character. That's pretty much all I gotta say, besides that I like the livestream idea, letting viewers decide. Edit: I LOVE your mom's music choices as well! Great work on Worm! I actually saw what the character looked like after the vid, and I'd say that this is an accurate pony-version (G1) depiction!

[@BleuPanda-em9to]

The roulette sounds really fun! And the music your mom chose is A++ I was vibing. If it's helpful, the most common formula I've seen for customizers is an intro outlining what's coming, then music with voiceover explaining the process as it goes through its steps. It's not non-stop talking but it's consistent throughout. Personally I don't like videos that are just music and/or subtitles. They don't keep my interest at all. That's just my opinion though. Ultimately if you chose whatever you're comfortable with I think we'll all still be happy.

[@danielleburkard3088]

I love the idea of a roulette! You can also make quizzes for your viewers to pick projects! As for talking I think you do a relatively good mix of letting us watch your progress and explaining it. I personally enjoy hearing the history of the pony you're working on if you're restoring. And if you're making a custom I love hearing what inspired you and maybe a little bit about what you were inspired by!

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Ohhhh god idea!! Thank you!! And thanks for the tip on the history of the ponies, I will keep in mind for next time ☺️☺️

[@JayofallTrades]

I love the lil worm from labyrinth so cute. Might i suggest a q&a during your videos answering some questions from your comments. Or maybe asking a question to your viewers to answer in the comments. Also why do you use milliput instead of apoxy sculpt? Have you heard of diamond glaze? It is similar to resin but creates a 3D effect without UV light. You can easily do a drop on the eye after painting and it give a glossy 3d look. You wouldn't have to use varnish. I enjoy your themed videos and i didn't even know this pony existed with the inset eyes and sleepytime eyes. They do look kinda creepy. Maybe you can use that to look for other characters with bulging eyes or something like that. Kermit the frog for example. I enjoy your videos even if not a tutorial but you share your ideas and thoughts about the process and the inspiration. Maybe can add an image or video clip into your edit for fun. Randomizer would be neat too. Kinda create a pony with a combination of colors you'd never think to use. Could you make a rainbow dash using G1?

[@FloodGoblin]

Hello! I just thought I would tell you if you ever need to protect the eyes from the primer you can use sticky tack! After you are done with the primer you can remove it with a tooth pick and get the left over bits by dabbing the eyes with a clump of sticky tack. This trick is also a great technique to use when using spray on primer! Spray on Primer is good for making an even coat that does not have any brush strokes. When spaying the toy you want primed make sure you hold it with gloves or some kind of clamp so you can turn it to get all surfaces. Let it dry and then get the parts that your hand or the clamp was holding. PS: if you use spray on primer make sure it is for plastic or it will not stick to the surface, also make sure the surface is clean as well.

Next time you work on a BBE baby, an easier way to remove the eyes is to boil the head, and then the vinyl is soft enough to push the eyes out from the front. It also keeps them whole 😁 Also, I adore this custom. It looks so cute and silly haha

Ello, come inside, meet the Mrs. Great custom. I think you did him justice. You'll have to do ludo at some point. Rust can be removed with white vinegar. Just behind worm in the movie there was an eyeball plant. Could be a cool use for those eyes 😂. Seeing that pony with just eye sockets made me think of a skeleton pony or Skeletor pony. Maybe it's already been done.

This was a very cool custom and I love the details you added, seeing you do the dots was very satisfying!

[@art-eroflore]

This video was not high on the list of things I expected to find on youtube today but I'm happy its here! My mom loves labyrinth and I have fond memories of it growing up! Ideas: when you showed the pony with eyeballs and talked about modifying it, I thought of the Beholder from DND and how a pony with eyes all over it would be pretty horrifying, so that could be a project.. Re: what to talk about, you mentioned that the process is pretty similar for most of the videos, and I feel that: I never know what to talk about because of that, but I think that channels who just narrate their process do well because new viewers are always drawn in by it. But, there's also fostering your own personal style so I guess the most important thing is talking about what you feel most comfortable with. I like hearing about peoples inspirations, like why pick the worm, whyd you make x, y, and z choices to remove or add various things as you do them in the video, instead of just at the end. Also talking about things you would do differently/could have done differently gives a peek into the creative process and helps the viewers because they can learn from your "mistakes" (or not even mistakes, just, they can learn how many ways one thing can be done).

[@RetroGeekCrafts]

Thank you so much for your lovely message 😊😊 The info is also very helpful! I definitely like to keep the mistakes in so they help others :)

I think it would be fun to hear about your inspiration of the thing you would be working on, the history of the restoration and whatever else you'd like to talk about. I enjoy the videos whether you're talking or not. They've inspired me and helped me to make my own custom g4 ponies (trimming off the mane, taking the heads off to take the inside mane out. I wish I knew how to re-root the mane, but the tool makes me nervous and I have no idea how to style hair XD I also think my hands are allergic to the mane. Weird.) It took me a long time to feel like I could type up this comment. I've been feeling really down lately. I love your videos! They're relaxing and fun. I loved the care bear pony custom you made last time (and the reason behind it. Pink makes me happy, too.) And I found that my favorite restored pony of your's has to be the g1 Argentina Gingerbread! In fact I bought a g4 pony to costumize into Gingerbread. Anyway, keep doing what makes you happy!

My 5th grade teacher was so excited to show us Labyrinth in class because of that worm 😂😂😂 I'm so grateful to her, because it's one of my fave movies now. We had some chill days after state tests and got to watch the movie and she brought us pizza :>

Labyrinth is my all time fave movie. I couldn't click the video fast enough. Wanted to add that I'm a resin crafter and I love U.V. resin I understand not wanting to use your UV chamber but you can go out and pick up a UV nail lamp for like 10 dollars and it works just fine. Also love the roulette idea
