1980s My Little Pony Vintage Toy Restoration G1 Merry Go Round Fakie Retro Toy Repair
This poor little pony had seen better days. Rescued from a bin of toys condemned to the trash, I thought I could give it a second chance. This was my first (recorded) vintage toy restoration.

I wanted to keep the repair as close to the original as possible, so I repainted using the same color scheme and chose the closest hair color I could find. I hope you enjoy my first My Little Phoney Fakie Go Round restoration project.
