Re-Colouring My Little Pony Restoration: G1 Lickety Split Vintage Hasbro 1984 Clean, Repair, Colour

Hello :) This week we are going to restore a My Little Pony Lickety Split, made in 1984 by Hasbro. This pony has some damage to the eyes, it's quite dirty and it looks like the head was re-glued at some point. The symbols have faded a little as well, and it looks like the hair used to be much pinker. So we're going to try something new (at this scale at least): Re-colouring the hair!
