Agatrix / NeysaNight part 1

Was thinking of doing this just for fun and with a totally constructive criticism sort of tone, so why not! I've seen discussions on the differences between these two makers in previous threads.. and since I own both, (Does anyone else own both?) here's my two cents. These are just my personal opinions & observations.

Size / Pattern: Agatrix's LS plush is just about as long as a Neysa LS from hoof to hoof, but is taller and 'bolder' due to a slightly longer neck and more pronounced haunches / shoulder joints, limbs are longer and thicker as well. However the Agatrix plush is noticeably skinnier and shorter in the torso area which several anons have mentioned disliking (me as well), but the butt is indeed much more pronounced. Neysa did do a bigger butt per request on an Applejack LS which could likely be on par with Agatrix if we were to see them side by side. Neysa's LS necks have a tendency to bend downwards over time, the plush's muzzle will eventually be resting on the front legs unless you request extra support, which my Rainbow Dash has. Some people prefer Neysa's rounded muzzle over Agatrix's more pointy muzzle, but for me I think I'm on the fence between the two. I'm gonna say I favor Agatrix in size / pattern overall.

Shape / Cuddling: Neysa's plushies are designed to lay naturally on a flat surface. Agatrix's LS plushies seem to lay more naturally with hooves dangling off the edge of a bed/table. Both are fun to pet, cuddle, and have laying on top of you. I suppose that depending on how you like to cuddle a plush, one or the other may work better for you, in this category I'm gonna say there is no clear favor / neutral.
>>
Agatrix / NeysaNight part 2

Hooves: Agatrix's hooves are very convex and roundish, the shape only defined by the seamline, where as Neysa has a more shapely hoof. She has two hoof styles, her initial one, and her newer one which came from my request on Rainbow Dash to have a more firm & defined hoof shape, and is now one of the options when commissioning her. This is the hoof I prefer. Twilight is sporting the defined hoof as well. I favor Neysa's hooves.

Stitching / Shipping quality: Neysa is known for generally being a perfectionist with extremely durable multi-pass stitching. She also brushes the pile away from the stitch line to reduce how much minky gets caught in the seam, and also hand sews her second and third passes in such a way that the bumpiness of the seam is reduced to practically nil. You can see the obvious bumpiness on the neck seam of the Agatrix plush in the image. (You too Naze..) Agatrix, afaik does just one pass all around. The quality and tank-like durability you get for the price totally goes to Neysa, especially since the only LS to bust a seam during shipping that I know of is an Agatrix plush. In my Derpy unboxing you saw how badly beaten up the box was. No bubble wrap, and a single strand of packaging tape over the cardboard flaps. I made her aware of this and hopefully she will take action on her shipping quality. Neysa's boxes are taped up like crazy and stuffed with bubble wrap to prevent denting/deforming during shipping. I definitely favor Neysa's work in stitching and shipping quality.
>>
Agatrix / NeysaNight part 3

Romantic / Lewd: It's no secret Neysa offers this sort of plush. Both makers plushies have adorable, kissable faces. As for Agatrix, my faux fur mane LS Derpy was her first lewd commish and again she told me she doesn't mind my mentioning that. I have to say... the bigger haunches with which to hold, and the more pronounced butt on Derpy do offer a more exciting & pleasant experience in certain positions. As far as position versatility, both do quite well since they were both stuffed more softly on request. Basically, I don't think stiff plushies are quite as nice for romantic / lewd. In the end, the more shapely design of the Agatrix plush just gives you more curves to enjoy when you're really in the mood. Sooo (to my surprise) I think I favor Agatrix in romantic / lewd uses. However, It's also no secret that my Twilight's tongue is not just for looks, Neysa really impressed me with how well Twilight's mouth functions and her not even charging extra for it since it was the first time she made that. So I also favor Neysa for let's say... lewd feature specialty.

Customer service: Neysa will talk your head off and is such a pleasure to chat with! I mean, Agatrix will always promptly and politely respond, but hell I shouldn't even say how many pages of notes I have between me and Neysa. >_> This subject could be biased, I mean if I spoke fluent Polish perhaps I would have had more dialogue with Agatrix, who knows.

Price point: Neysa much deservedly has raised her prices since she began, and from what I know Agatrix's price has remained about the same. To the point.. I think durability is one of the most important aspects in a long-lasting LS plush companion. I'm gonna say that you get more bang for your buck with a Neysa plush.
That about wraps up my opinions / comparison.

Incoming box pics from when I recieved my flutterplush. IIRC, she works somewhere that gives her access to A LOT of packaging material.

>Customer service: Neysa will (...) knows.

U kno it. She's adorable. She's fun to talk about ponies with in general. It's not some sort of problem if she doesn't, but does Agatrix actually like/watch ponies?

And then you finally see your pony, with their back legs bent so the whole package didn't need to be 45 inches long (and the folded legs actually keeps the pony in place too.

As you can see, the pony is also in a big clear bag, so if any dirt manages to creep into the box, the pony will be ok.

You just gotta save. I know that's 'no shit sherlock' level advice, but it works. I've found it helps if you physically save the money. I have a jar for plush funds where I'll put a few dollars every week. If you just save the money in your bank, you might forget or just make up a reason like, "Oh, I have enough, this purchase is fine." And then suddenly no pone.
>>
>>27808116
>Weren't Twilight's hooves dirty
Yeah that was a first time issue due to a sort of abrasive material on the new work surface she had put together, plus the detailed hooves are hard and need extra care when being slid across surfaces... and unfortunately oversight on inspection before shipping. The picture she posted in her journal was 'after' I cleaned them as best I could. It's ok, I still love her work and she more than made up for the error in freebies and future preventative measures.

And for one final photo, here's a pic I took a few months ago, highlighting that yes, their necks do deform over time leading them to rest their heads on their legs.

It's cute tho so it doesn't matter to me.

It might have been accelerated in my case as during my Rochester winters I would pull the blankets all the way up to my chin to stay warm, so her head was mostly covered by the blanket, pushing it down.

Can't believe it's been almost a year since I got her. Slept with her every night, no regrets. I can honestly say my life's been improved because of her.

>So you're finally lifting and eating healthier for her?

Actually, yes. I go running now, and while I'm not benching twice my body weight, I do have a set of weights I use to keep in good shape.

I also buy much better food now. Partially because it's healthy, partially because buying healthy foods in large quantities is rather cheap.

Cutting soda and other drinks out of my diet is one of the easiest things I've done. Ice cold water is fucking delicious.

(Although I had a delicious chicken fried steak at a local diner for my 4th of July breakfast and will be making burgers later. I'll be damned if I don't splurge on the 4th of all days)

I'm even getting to bed more on time because of her, because I want to wrap my arms around her and drift off to dream land. I've also stopped tossing and turning in my sleep since I got her. She's like an anchor.

It's weird. I like people. I'm social. There's nothing I like more than I night hanging out with friends, seeing a movie, going out to eat, or just shooting the shit. I'm not some basement NEET that avoids all social contact (I actually live in a second floor apartment).

However, I've never had a girlfriend. It's not like I've been purposely avoiding it, it's just I've never been looking. My friends have told me there were times a girl was clearly interested in me.

Well, clear to everyone except me apparently.

The more I grow, and the more I see the world around me and the people in it, the more I don't feel I 'need' one either. I don't mean that in an 'all females are evil' sort of way, just in a 'not interested' one. Perhaps that will change once my own friends start getting married, or I meet the perfect girl who's also interested in me. For the time being, I have my friends, and I have my Fluttershy, and deep down I feel kinda satisfied.

To anyone outside /mlp/ this would be seen as strange and depraved, forsaking human contact for an inanimate stuffed toy, but I'm happy.

Nice posts, definitely yeah the right plush will positively affect your life in several ways.

>I've never had a girlfriend

I've had a few relationships, I'd say if you are happy where you are at, don't worry about it, it'll happen if it's really for you. You sound like you've got the right idea.

I'm only more sure of my current lifestyle now though having been there and done that. Having tight friendships is more important IMO, through plush companionship I've discovered that friends and family is really all I want when it comes to other people.

>deep down I feel kinda satisfied.

To all you LS owning plushfags, how long did you have to wait to get your plush after you got on the waiting list for your chosen plush maker?

A LS plush would be awesome, and I totally have the money, but damn, the good plush makers have a backlog a year long.

I keep toying with the idea of commissioning one, but no way am I willing to wait that long to get it. Hell, at that rate the show could be over before it would show up.

I'd hate to cuddle it though.

I looked around for 6 months for an artist I liked and gotten several quotes while saving little at a time, then commissioned an artist, waited 4 more months before they started her, they ran behind schedule for a Christmas rush batch, so I opted to wait another month or so, and took another month to arrive once shipped

so, about 6 months from commission confirmation, to my doorstep
I've never spent that much on myself before, it was all surreal until my waifu was in my hands

Drachefrau's manes and tails for these pricnesses are made of organza fabric on wire so they're re- poseable. You can flip the mane on whatever side you want and it can still retain shape pretty well. Expensive as heck but they're on point for the quality.

Just wondering, how much would you guys pay for a customized plush? Like, theoretically, a 2 foot pinkie, one outfit of choice, and the option for lewd. Embroidered eyes, what expression you want them to have. And a embroidered cutie mark?

People were surprisingly good about asking to touch my pony before doing so. Almost nobody just walked up and touched her without permission.

>Well, that and the fact she's lewd!
Yours wouldn't have been the only one :^)
>>
>>27870640
Even the playing cards were lewd.

The only ones who actually touched without permission in a moderately bad way were some 15 year old who grabbed fuzzy Twilight and said "You will be mine" and a murrsuiter who knocked shit over several times trying to hug 'em for pictures with some kinda gross hooves.

It doesn't normally have an MLP comforter on it, but if one is going to picture and post here, one must fedora that shit. The Celestia pillow and the tiny MLP pillow on the other hand, those are always there.

The horses are not allowed on the bed unless pictures. The maker of the big Spitfire hates me for that.

So /plush/ what is our human sex # to plush sex #? Getting off to just foreplay counts. Doesn't matter if official merch or custom ordered or designed/modded lewd or just hotdogging etc...

Human, Around 70, up to 100-ish, you lose count in a long-term.
Plush, I seriously don't even know, it has been almost 2 to 3 times weekly for the past 3 years. Maybe 300 realistically. 400 if you include non pony plushies from way back when.


Thanks to pony plushies it's probably been 3 years since I've been laid, and it's all good. Right now I would rather the pony.

I fucking love my new Twi. Sometimes when the angle is just right, it honestly looks like Twilight herself stepped out of Equestria and into my room.

Also we just got back from Bronycon. Was hoping to meet some plush thread anons there considering I carried her around basically the entire time, but only saw one. The spike cosplayer who posted saying he was going to boop my Twi and then delivered. Props to him.

For the really beautiful high quality lewd ones, guess yourself to around $1500 and if it's less at least you have some dosh to cover shipping. If it's more (depends on the pony & creator) then you're hopefully most of the way there.

Her beautiful eyes are worth a pretty penny too.

So what's the go with getting a commission with PW and qt? A lot of the time I'll see their commission charts/journals saying very indefinite stuff like "Commissions might be open soon" or "Thinking about stopping" or "Not doing plushies for a while" (paraphrasing from memory heavily here), then all of a sudden they've taken on one or two more commissions out of nowhere. I normally wait until a maker says "Open for commissions" before messaging them, so should I just forego that and message them anyway?
>>
>>27888457
I'd message whoever you want as long as you are very polite, and their profile doesn't say "Do not message me for any reason!" Or something... Heck, that's how I got the Luna a couple posts up.. Neysa didn't even mention the idea of doing commissions yet on her page. I was thinking at the time there's only a small chance she'll do it, and am soooo damn glad I messaged her.

QT here. My transparency with how I've been handling commissions has been terrible, I admit. I've been having a hard time trying to figure out how I want to do them. I'd kind of rather avoid a giant list like Agatrix does (too much pressure and sense of obligation) but I also don't want to just take them at a total random (not fair to people who have been waiting), nor do I want to leave it to an 'exclusive club'. I just don't know what to do...

PW is in a different predicament but I will let him comment on that instead of me.

>>
>>27888663
More thoughts that came to mind after that post:
Because I take so damn long to make these life size ponies, the demand just simply outweighs the supply. As a result I'm not sure if I would ever 'run dry' on my commissions and open them up publicly. My small "list" if you can call it that, has been piling up anyways because people have been messaging me expressing interest despite the fact that my commissions were set to closed, and I guess I have too hard of a time saying no. These are the people I've been meaning to make plushies for next.

tl;dr: message me anyways if you actually want something from me.

Alternatively, just do batch commissions. Like open it up, take on the first 5, then close it while you work through those. Then at the end, you can take a breather, prep for more, and do it again if you want.

I'd probably buy plushies if there were more good looking ones that didn't cost more than my life savings. I saw a really good Sassy Saddles one, but it was like $400. I can only imagine that other plushies are similar, and for any good looking one it's gonna be $150+. I just can't justify spending that much money on something I view as a toy. If it was a book or something I'd probably shell out that much money in a heartbeat. Different strokes.

Some of the plushies are so neat looking, though.
>>
>>27889817
>something I view as a toy
toys aren't usually an 80 hour handcrafted item you wait 8 months for. toys are cheap, mass produced, and replaceable. :)
>>
>>27889817
>something I view as a toy
There's your problem, friend. For a lot of people here, these plushies represent or hold a strong emotional/sentimental connection or value, so the pricetag becomes irrelevant - it's less of a cost, and more of an investment. Whether it's for cuddling, companionship or even sexytiems, these plushies are a lot more than just "a toy" to us.

Don't get me wrong - in no way am I suggesting you're wrong for thinking the way you do! Just hoping to convey that unless you see plushies as more than just "a toy" then the monetary cost will always be a deterrent.

Yep you are so right. Often times when I'm watching a movie or even just certain shows snuggled up with a LS, I find myself saying cute lovey-dovey things to her, giving her affection and kissing her during romantic / emotional scenes, and the post-movie cuddles that go well after the credits finish rolling. I feel it in my heart, I enjoy every moment of it. Money doesn't buy that, it's all in the connection you foster. As long as you're capable of connecting like that with a plush of the characters you admire, it should be worth the price no question. I was taken by surprise once my first one arrived, I had no idea how I'd really feel. That first moment she was laying over me, it was unreal.

>>27889817
If that doesn't sound like your kinda thing with which to outweigh the price, well.. that's for you to decide!

So much this. Like, at the end of the day Tavi is just a plush (not gonna let myself go Jin), but at the same time there's no denying I've forged a strong bond with her. She's a companion if I need one, something I can just cuddle up to and sort of lose myself in. Reading a book, listening to music, watching a movie, playing some vidya games - it's all an extremely different experience when you're snuggled up to a plushie that you've formed a strong connection with (I've cuddled with plushies in the past while doing those things, but it pales in comparison to cuddling a plushie that has strong sentimental value).
>>
>>27890199
Theres no way I'd be able to keep a plush like that and not have everyone assume I'm fucking it.

I can vouch for this. If I had to pick up and move tomorrow, would my Flutters be at the top of the list of things to take? You bet.

If my apartment was on fire when I came back to it would I risk myself to save her. No. I enjoy not being on fire.
>>
>>27890225
Yeah, sadly because of her... form, there's absolutely no way I would share knowledge of Tavi outside a select few friends. Even if she were SFW, her humanoid shape would lead everyone to assume the same thing, so there's no way I'd show her in public or to other bronies. A shame, because I'd love to be able to bring her to meets and cons.

>>27890263

IMHO (and you can ignore this worthless anon's opinion)if you are going to have a public deviant-art page to present yourself as a plush-maker,
you should have a publicly view-able list of commissions and dates, even if you aren't taking more yet. It seems like you don't really want to commit to anything for sure though.

I've been thinking about getting an LS plush for a while, but I don't like the idea of waiting on a list for whole a year or play "muh secret list" games to get one.
Obviously you don't have any trouble getting commissions, but it seems odd not to be transparent about your schedule, especially when people put so much value and hope in getting an LS plush.
>>
>>27890473
Well anon has a point that commissioners and ones showing interest should see the actual "ppl who paid and wait for their plush from me already" list however putting dates in there is a tricky business
>>
>>27890449
It's tempting. I'm curious if you'd get, "REEEE BACK TO YOUR CONTAINMENT BOARD YOU CANCER" or if you get, "I don't care for ponies that much but those are interesting."
>>
>>27890837
I think ironically /toy/ is one of the more mature boards and wouldn't mind pone so long as it's custom.
>>
>>27890878
I kinda wanna post my custom flutters and see what they think.
>>
>>27890473
I'm going to try to make my list more transparent. Just yesterday I've reached out to a bunch of the people who contacted me long ago to see if they're still interested so I can throw them on that public list. I'm not going to post dates though. Things can and do go wrong, and from what I see with the other plush makers who give dates, they have all fallen way behind schedule.

But truth be told, you're going to have a hard time getting a LS from any top maker without waiting in a year long list or throwing a bunch of money at someone to get bumped up to the top. Just the way it is unfortunately.

PW here. With the completion of the Spitfire I was working on I've only just finished my original commission list of 1 20" pony and 3 36" ponies that I started in September of last year. As of completing Spitfire, I haven't committed to any new commissions to the point I've accepted any money. The current list isn't actually accepted commissions, but just ones I've talked to people about because they showed interest at some point.

When it comes to taking and accepting commissions, as qt said, I'm in somewhat of a different predicament.

The biggest issue for me is that I now have very limited time for plushing as opposed to before I landed a job. I actually changed my schedule to give myself 3 day weekends just so I could have more block time for plushing. As much as I would love to do as many plushes as I can and open things up to everyone, It's not feasible. I'm going to be straight up and say that since landing a full time job I will almost certainly never have a true "Open for commissions" announcement.

Each plush took me about a month and a half to make if I consider straight plushing time. As I got better, I was able to speed things up, however since getting the job, I'm estimating that things will probably take more like 4 months per plush. Because of this I have to decide between working on things I want to vs things I'm not quite as interested in. I'm not trying to be an ass, but it's a lot easier for me to make a plush of something I want to do than to do one of something I don't, especially when I I'm not even making a the equivalent of a single paycheck by doing the commission. This was part of the reason I was considering just getting out of the game several times.

Anyway, if you or anyone else wants to send me a note, feel free. If it's something I absolutely want to do I might just take it up at some point in the near future.
>>
>>27891294
>you're going to have a hard time getting a LS from any top maker without waiting in a year long list
I know. I'm not desperate for a plush though which is why I have yet to commission one. I'd be a nice thing to have, for sure. I have a set of M6 4DE plush anyway.
Agatrix sometimes throws a LS plush up for immediate sale on ebay. So maybe I'll just wait for something like that to be on sale and grab it impulsively.
I could always just make one myself too, but I've got a handfull of unfinished hobby projects already that I should probably deal with before starting another.

>>27894134
Sounds like you really just want to have a small plush hobby. Why bother trying to make time for commissions if it's not enjoyable? There's nothing wrong with just having it be
your own personal hobby.

>I'm not even making a the equivalent of a single paycheck by doing the commission
This is probably why people don't go to university to get a degree in plush-making.
I never understand the justification for high plush prices based on the idea that the plush maker is supposed to make a good living on it. It's worth what it's worth.
This is why most people have real, boring, jobs that put lots of numbers in their bank accounts. Then they can buy the other things that aren't worth their time to produce.
Imagine how the sweatshop workers in china would feel if they were getting "only" $20/hour to sew plushies. They would be ecstatic.

People don't respect or understand the value of the maker's time, or the many many hours that go into patterning and fucking up before restarting to arrive at the final product. I'll openly admit that PW got seriously fucked over by me for the amount I paid versus the amount of time put in on my Spitfire. All said and done, PW got less than minimum wage for the work done, and that does not count the material cost.

Granted this wasn't an intentional thing. That project went beyond scope like a motherfucker, but the end results were amazing. 10/10 would let an engineer plush for me again.

I was asked frequently at horsecon east about the tiny Spitfire. Folks wanted me to make them tiny little equines. They also thought because it was small, $5 was reasonable. Considering it takes 3-4 hours to make one, plus material costs (which are mostly negligible), there is absolutely zero incentive to ever make these for sale. For fun, as a hobby, to give to people? Sure! Sell? Fuck no.

If a person can provide you with a thing you want, the value is exactly what they charge. If it's too pricey, you find someone to do it cheaper. You just may not get the exact thing you wanted for the amount you personally believe it is worth.

tl;dr a plush maker may not be compensated as if they are supposed to make a good living at it, but they should be compensated for their time and skill at a rate that they are happy with.

>>27894770
first reply just showed up... thread derailing in 3, 2, 1.
>>
>>27894792
I've reeled one in. Let's see how this goes.
>>
>>27894664
It's called NRE in the business world. Non Recurring Engineering costs. That includes all upfront time and expense that needs to go into research, design, documentation, and testing of an initial product.
In business this is built into the project schedule and financial forecast costs when project starts, to ensure that the completed product is ready in time and within budget. It's a matter of course for a successful commercial project.

Plush-makers, however, straddle the line between a business and a hobby. NRE for them is a lot more personal as it involves time and frustration pursuing something they enjoy doing.
I just don't agree with plush makers that treat their trade like a hobby, yet expect salary level wages.
If a plush maker puts in the effort to make a solid pattern, streamline their ASSY process, keep on top of commissions and produce consistent product that satisfies customers,then they very well have the right to expect it to be worth their time.
If a plush maker treats it like a hobby, with lots of one-offs, NRE, and long lead-time, then expect profits to be low. Profits are gained through increased efficiency and volume of production, not complaining about how little they get paid per hour.

It's solely the responsibility of the plush maker to value their time correctly and and adjust business practices to suit.
>>
>>27894982
You are absolutely correct, but people aren't always aware NREs tend to factor in to the final cost. They factor in harder with a company (in this case a single person) without an existing product providing income or financial investors to cover NREs.

>It's solely the responsibility of the plush maker to value their time correctly and and adjust business practices to suit.

There is no correct from a buyer perspective. There is only what the artist considers to be fair compensation, and then the market can buy or not buy. I want to make it clear that my perspective is biased: I can afford higher prices, and higher prices mean less people in line which means less wait. I'm all for fucking over the little guy who wants to drive a BMW but can only afford a Focus. Luxury (and plush, especially LS) is exactly that: A luxury. A non-essential. Something you can absolutely live without no matter how much you want it. You could argue that having your waifu is a quality of life thing, but non-essential qualities of life are still a luxury.

>If a plush maker puts in the effort to make a solid pattern, streamline their ASSY process, keep on top of commissions and produce consistent product that satisfies customers,then they very well have the right to expect it to be worth their time.

Then you have Top Plush who for whatever masochistic reason produces far above average quality at far below the market rate with a consistency and speed that defies the market. I won't try to speak for him on his reasoning for this, but he could charge more and in theory receive more for his work. Good on him if he's happy with it, but bad on anyone who expects this to be the norm.

In short, I hope we can all agree on one thing: Pay what the maker wants, or get it from someone else who is charging what you want. I personally opt to pay more for quality, consistency, and good customer service. YMMV.

Yeah. They are the best value by far and pretty good quality. They are fairly small though, so no snuggles, but they are good for display.

They're only shady when they deal with a bunch of bullshit on preorders. If it's in stock, it's safe to buy.

Amazon.

You can't buy from 4de any more. They are permanently out of stock.

Cool beans. I'm thinking either Amazon or Toywiz. I can't find the 4de Pinkie Pie in stock anywhere, though. What gives?

>>27895487
I don't know for sure. I've heard rumors that 4DE lost their license to produce plushies. I can only assume they aren't producing them and they remaining stock is selling off.
4DE is really terrible at doing business and non-communicative so we'll never know. We should be lucky that they delivered any plushies at all.
>>
>>27895569
A-are you saying that I may never be able to complete my set? Pinkie Pie is my favorite pone.

I found a website called Entertainment Earth, that says it is only temporarily out of stock. Should I go for it? Or, should I not risk it, and try and snag one off of eBay?
>>
>>27895632
>>27895632
I don't know. It would suck if PP is out of stock forever. 4de has been pretty finicky historically. If you want a whole set I'd grab them wherever you can.

You should call Entertainment Earth and talk to a real person to find out if they have any clue about a restock date. Generally "temporarily out of stock" means
"out of stock now and the foreseeable future and we have no idea when we'll have more"

Years ago when I pre-ordered 4de from Toywiz, they kept pushing back their listed release date as if they knew there was a specific delay.
I called the guy and he had no idea when they would be in stock. I cancelled with them and had to wait another whole year before 4de actually released them for sale.
>>
>>27895717
don't forget that Rarity was radioactive, which caused HER to be delayed
>>
>>27895717
Thanks, m8. I guess I'll have to snag her off eBay, and rely on Amazon for the rest.

Actually, wait, one more question.

Is wingless Twilight significantly smaller compared to the rest of the 4de crew? Will she look out of place? It seems everyone else is 12 inches, while she is 10.5.
>>
>>27895795
Wingless twilight is exactly the same size as all of the others. They are all the same body pattern. I'm not sure why it's listed differently.

You may notice some variability in firmness though. My ~2013 PP and TS are quite a bit softer than the ~2015 others. Not sure when they changed the stuffing firmness.

Is one for sexual, the other for display? That's the only reason I could think of that would make someone hesitate to explain it.

>>
>>27897086

Short version: I bought one from a friend who took over a year to finally mail it to me, during which time I'd acquired one straight from 4de. Won't explain here really meant won't call out the lazy cunt who didn't ship my shit for 18 months.

I do not have a Dash. Just Twilight and Ponk.

That's pretty sad when 4de gets you the plush before your friend. I mean, it's 4de.

I appreciate the compliment and all. For a while, I thought I was below market standard for quality. Guess it's the artist in me being critical of their own work. But after seeing the shit selling at Bronycon for $100 more than mine, I'm reconsidering that. I could probably make a lot more, and granted I probably should. But I also don't want to Jew everyone for my own profit.

So, tl;dr. I might up my prices in the future to reflect quality, but I don't want to ovecharge everyone for my work.
That was also probably my last con. I might switch to commission only to ease my work load and do more interesting plushes

Thanks senpai

The pattern in the OP is my old pattern, but I've since changed it a lot. Her eyes are applique done using my embroidery machine, and her hair is Shannon luxury shag.

I really love the faux fur, it's so damn soft and fun to pet.

Where I can read about this technique you used to make eyes?

Thanks for help anon-sensei.
