A different custom. Much of the early Lauren Faust concept art for the new series did not have the hat so Hasbro's stuff usually lacks it. This is one of the 1.5" figurines with what I think is an Indiana Jones hat. The black band shouldn't be there but I decided it was going to leave a lot of white marks to scrub it off with alcohol. If I can find a non-metallic brown auto paint at Walmart I will probably paint it over but I'm not using acrylic. It's attached by hot glue. The fit isn't really perfect but without dremeling the top of the head this is the best that can be done.
I cut the front notch using a drill bit, off center a bit.
