After
I washed her body, cream-rinsed her hair, retouched her god-awful makeup (try nail polish lipstick in pale pink! ugh), and OMG--look how she turned out. I'm sorry, but I'm soooo impressed!
Same process. I had to redo all the makeup, it was very faded. PLUS had to stitch a seem on this one.
This AA girl was in already in pretty good condition. Her hair-part was flawless. She had her lips and eyelashes painted on which HAD to be fixed. Luckily, with some elbow grease, I was able to remove it.
This Canadian boy was a real Pigpen when I got him. I always get so nervous when I see all the marks. But they all washed out, along with the forehead sag.
Post-wash.
A US girl in MINT, unplayed with condition and all original purple pinny outfit including booklet.
The only work I had to do was cream-rinse her hair and touch up the makeup... Not much of a restoration at all!
The Taiwan's brother, also a little dirtbag.
After a bath and slight makeup...
This US Pony Girl was in very good condition. She smelled musty, so I washed her and retouched her makeup.

One of my favorite restorations. A Euro Redhead w/ a haircut--paid only $90 (hey, that's pretty good LOL).
She was REALLY grubby, especially her face. Needed bathed and depilled.
And her face was mushed in some, too.
TAIWAN WAIF
She has a really sweet face, but has eye damage, paint loss, and possibly a haircut
EURO RINGLET PONY
Another pretty face with lots of problems: hair cuts, neck repair, holes and open seams, puffy hair.
