I always do the regular brushables, which are 3.25 inches tall. I mainly customize them because I want them to blend in with my collection, which is all that size.

There's also the added bonus that it takes less time to rehair and your doll hair will make customs of a lot more ponies that way! On the downside, their butts are pretty tiny, so painting their tatts is that much harder (and I'm already not that great at it).

If your friend already has a collection, you might ask what size he collects, and whether he wants all his ponies to be the same size. Remember, the smaller brushables require less time and less hair. However, as has been stated, you can get better painting detail on the larger sizes, so the final product might look a little more impressive.

Thanks for the advice! Kaoskat or Galactica, since you had success did you rinse it in vinegar or anything to keep it the dye from bleeding into the pony's vinyl?

I tried dyeing the current quality with Rit Dye and idye poly. Nothing worked great so far, the dye could have been washed out and just left a hint of color.

Do you mean the batch currently available at Dolly Hair? Has there been a big quality change? I noticed that some Sour Grape I recently bought seemed a little . . . "gritty" as compared with Dolly hair I've had before.

Seems like Hasbro will rarely let any new ponies or ideas through unless they are terrible. These wings are horrendous. Whatever soulless exec greenlighted these abominations should be punished. However, if there's one thing we've learned in recent years, it's the bad decisions earn executives multi-million dollar bonuses and new company jets.

Nightmare Moon--alicorn + black+ evil+ cat eyes = coolest pony ever made

Have her and love her

I'd be interested in the snow globe tutorial. As to the wing snow globe, I am staying away from those. I think they are kinda . . . not good.
