Thankyou peeps! I've come up with more 
Additional Rainbow Ponies
As the other Rainbow Ponies were on their way to join the other little ponies on a seaside holiday, Starflower was feeling a little sorry for herself because she was feeling unwell. Feeling lonely and having the sniffles, she decided to visit the Moochick for a remedy and winked out. Starflower winked in outside the Moochick’s cottage. Feeling dizzy and weak from such a simple magical task as winking out, she gathered her senses, and called out to the Moochick. A booming voice replied from within, “Hello, hello! Is that Starflower? Oh why, yes it is! Hello, hello! How are you my dear? Aren’t you supposed to be on holiday with the others? Come sit, come sit!” Starflower sneezed again, then let the Moochick usher her inside the cottage. “Thankyou Mr Moochick, yes everyone else has gone to the beach, but I seem to have caught a cold, and I feel quite unwell, and I feel just so lonely on my own at Paradise Estate. I was wondering if you had a tea for help me feel a little better?” The Moochick got up from his chair and started to rummage around his jars and pots, “Yes, I think I can make something up in a jiffy. Habbit! Where’s the, the, oh what is it called? The dried pink flowers I got from the Grundles during the last Harvest Moon? The echinacea! Where is it Habbit?!”
After about ten minutes of scrambling about and boiling up some herbs, Starflower was given a steamy mug of tea, which she sipped and instantly felt her sniffles start to dissipate. As she finished her tea, she lamented to the Moochick and Habbit how lonely she was feeling since the other ponies had gone to the seaside. The Moochick had a gleam in his eye and told her that she herself had the key to resolving her loneliness, and reminded her that now she was better, her magic would be returning to its original strength. He looked outside and beckoned Starflower over to the window and pointed out the milky ring around the moon whilst handing her a quartz crystal point. “Ah, now my dear, tonight is a special night indeed. When a moon halo appears, all unicorn’s powers are amplified until sunrise. Place this crystal in the ground at the foot of the Waterfall, and make a wish. Your usual wishing powers will be multiplied. Go my dear, make your own happiness.”
At the Moochick’s advice, Starflower winked to the Waterfall, and did as he instructed her to do so. She wished hard for her loneliness to be alleviated. A wondrous moonbow suddenly appeared, and down it from the velvety darkness of the night sky, came four ponies who Starflower did not recognise. They all had rainbow hair like her own, and a peachy unicorn greeted her. “Thankyou for calling us home. We have been wondering the ethereal pathways for such a long time, we could not remember the way home. Ponyland has changed much since we were last here. You are the first other pony we have met in a very long time, may we know your name, and may we ask where the little ponies call home now in Dream Valley?” Starflower was glad at having met four new friends, and proceeded to lead them to Paradise Estate, brimming with excitement.
Garden Glow Flutter Ponies
The Garden Glow Flutter Ponies tend to the myriad of beautiful flowers and plants in Flutter Valley for the rest of the Flutter Ponies. They are gentle and mild in nature, preferring to spend their days nurturing the flora than to socialise or explore. The Garden Glow Flutter Ponies’ skill in gardening is so highly respected, they get visitors from all over yonder to ask for advice on growing flowers and cultivating magical herbs. The Garden Glow Flutter Ponies’ main friends outside Flutter Valley are the little ponies and bushwoolies in Dream Valley who also have a great affinity with the flora around them.
Firelighter Ponies
The Firelighter ponies love any sort of celebration. Be it a birthday, Ostara, Sun Tuesday, or the arrival of special guests, whatever the event, the Firelighter ponies endeavour to create dazzling light shows designed to wow and amaze. They produce their light shows through the use of pyrotechnics as well as the application of chromic and photonic magics. They have special friendships with ponies such as Birthday Pony, Bridal ponies, Merry Treat, and the Wheel of the Year ponies, who herald celebratory times in Ponyland.
Wheel of the Year Ponies
The Wheel of the Year ponies celebrate the ancient natural rhythms of the world around them. Each pony has a special affinity with a specific festival, encouraging everyone to observe and feel the changes of the seasons, as well as the particular connotations that each time in the year has attached to it. The Wheel of the Year ponies help keep the natural magics of the world flowing through thanks and respect to the elements and forces that keeps the Wheel turning.
They are as ancient as Majesty, but until now they have kept their work with the natural rhythms a secret. With the encroaching presence of humans today upon Ponyland, with gradual loss of their connection with the natural world threatens the primeval magical connection of the little ponies with their land, the Wheel of the Year ponies have come out of secrecy, to ensure the same does not happen to Ponyland as what is happening in the realm of humans.

You're coming up with some really lovely backstories for your custom ideas. Particularly like the idea of the Wheel of the Year ponies.
(On the other topic of materials for customising: having seen/heard hemostats being recommended for removing hair from ponies you're restoring/customising I figured they might be worth a try. Found a cheap set on e-bay from a UK seller and am very happy with them, had a bald Pinkie Pie much quicker than when I used tweezers. The type I got Mosquito type which are the small ones, fitted inside a G4 standard brushable sized head fine ).

I've actually found yanking hair out with tweezers quite therapeutic after a crappy day at work-free anger management!!! But thanks for the heads up xx

It's still yanking the hair out, just easier and quicker because you can do more at once and it feels easier to get the more stubborn bits out with them to me. I've not tried taking the hair out of a G1 so I don't know what it's like comparatively, out of interest what are they like to prep for customising?
