Aw, they're cute now! Especially Apple Bloom. I'm indifferent to the pose normally but it's really cute filly-sized.
The bodies look better matte too, I think.
They look wonderful! I feel tempted to pick this set up myself and try, but I'd be so afraid of accidentally getting it on their symbols or eyes.... do you have any tips on how to avoid erasing paint you don't want to get rid of?
I would think covering up the eyes and cutie marks with something like tape and/or paper, no? These look pretty simple to clean up, it's just their legs and torso. Compared to the Cutie Mark Magic ponies with stuff all over their eyes...
