Description Finally got my Pinkie Pie looking something like!

And it took me three goes.


I don't know who invented this method as it has now become OLD MARE'S TALE level in MLP fan mythology, but it involves bathing the hair in warm water, curling it around cut segments of a drinking straw like miniature curlers, and then holding them in place with bobby pins. Afterwards I tidied up and tucked away horrible loose ends. Oh! And for her fringe, I suspended the curl completely upwards while I was waiting for it to dry using a wire-tie and a disused Newton's cradle. I left it to dry for about 16-18 hours, so basically the rest of the day and overnight.

I am so glad that her hair now disguises a) her mismatched left eye (where her tampograph was applied too high) and b) her lack of a second cutie mark on the left side of her rump (a trait inherited from older generations of toys, though not demonstrated on the show).

For the record, this is my first attempt and this is my second attempt .

EDIT: Curled the tail too! Springy~

Eugh! I might have to try this - I wanted the Pinkie Pie from our local store so bad, but the mane is utterly -flat- and not-Pinkie like. :[

I did this to my gen 3.5 Pinkie Pie that I got at the mall a couple months ago as a test to see if I should do it to my new Pinkie... it didn't go so well. It looked really great, but then went back to the original style. I applaud you for getting it right!!

Why they wont sell these ponies in the shops. OR well you should go work to "Little pony factory" and edit them all so they look right. (These sentences might include some awesome grammar fails. Was too hard to figure it out.. Dx)

I have a Pinkie toy like that. I think, if I were to try that, I would end up horribly messing it up, so I think I'll stick to how she looks stock.

Is that eye problem with all the toys or just yours?

TheLastGherkin In reply to Salohcin-Silverwing [2011-09-22 08:32:03 +0000 UTC]

Just mine, I think. Occasionally when they print the eyes on in the factory, they sort of... miss.

Honestly, if you mess it up, it'll still look more show-accurate than out-of-package. And you can always style it back again.
