They are both gorgeous! The eyes are so accurate and I love their brushable hair, especially the stunning vibrant orange on Waterfire.

Thank you all :heart:

They were fun to make and a great chance to learn a few new skills. I've never added brushable hair to a plush before.

Starting price is £150, it depends on the pony ;) I can only ship the "skin" over seas, as with filling they are around 7kilos in weight and it cost £160 to ship >_<

They're awesome! Have you thought of making adjustments to the pattern - wings/horns? ^.^
I wonder if it could be changed to have their head facing forwards? Or perhaps that would make them top heavy and tip lol

Man, shipping is a killer.  They are so awesome.  I may have to commission a Sugarberry one in the future.  Are they pretty easy to stuff on your own?

The pattern does come with the option of a horn and wings :)

I have a Starcatcher in the works right now ;) I created the pattern for her her wings as they are different to regular Pegasus wings.

I also have two commissions for unicorns ;)

Shipping if filled is killer! It's all due to the weight, anything over 2kilos is "oversized".

Shipping without filling is £15 and that includes tracking. The skin alone weighs about 1.5 kilos so can be sent regular mail :)

Filling is pretty easy, you just keep cramming it in and manipulating it to get the right firmness. They take between 5-6kilos so filling and it's not too expensive to buy, about £20 or so.

A Sugarberry would be beautiful :straw:

I wonder if it could be changed to have their head facing forwards?

Totally agree with the head positioning of this plushie's design being the one thing I'd like to see changed; the head is twisted too far backwards.

@pinkkittiewinks: If you could redesign the head more to the side, or facing forwards (and then maybe even upwards!), that would be the selling point for me.

Since I created this post I've made three more giant ponies, so I have more experience with the pattern. I am absolutely able to make the pony with a forward facing head :)

I've got another two to make, but both are commissions so I can't experiment with the pattern.
