Restoring and 3D Printing My Little Pony Sea Ponies - Rehair, Custom Bases, Pearly MLP G1 #elegoo

I am so excited to show you this! I was sent a wonderful gift by the people of Elegoo (makers of 3D printers), and I was finally able to test it for these sea ponies. I printed some bases - and restored/repaired the sea ponies as well, including rehair, paint retouches and re-pearlization! This project was a lot of fun, I learned so many things I hope to keep improving. I'm also very happy for my sea ponies, which now have a way to stand straight :) Please let me know what you think!
