My First Plushie! (Antique/Vintage Toy-Style Pinkie Pie)

[Delphian]

Hello! I recently made my first plush toy. I found a pattern for an antique/vintage style horse toy. I thought it'd look adorable as an MLP and gave it a try. I really wanted to play up the handmade aspect of it so I used button eyes, yarn hair, and hand embroidered the cutie mark.

Sorry about all the other toys hanging around in the background.   

Question Time! I really enjoyed making her and I'd like to make more, but I've only got about 2 people in my life that would appreciate a plush pony. I know this is a very unusual style for MLP plush, but do you think I'd be able to sell plush like these? And if so, what kind of price range would be reasonable?

it was so fun to see her in person!
 i love her face.
i know they did a pony plush swap last year, it was totally awesome!!
i'm bad with price ranges though. i'd suggest esty for selling, and check there for price ideas.
i know my little pony pudgies i ask about 25 to 40$ for it they have accessories.

@__@ Oh do let me know if you sell these cause that is so adorable!!

Oh I just love plushies like these!! I can't help on a price range but I'd be interested.

The antique look is perfect! You can tell all the details are carefully handmade; a lot of love went into making this pony and it shows! And I love love love those slightly drooping ears.

I'm clueless when it comes to pricing plushies, though. Rosierjay's idea of browsing Etsy to get a general feel of prices sounds like a good starting point.

She's adorable, love her button eyes.

not sure what part of mn you're in, but we should get together and have a mini plush making party at a perkins or something to start.
that would be so fun!!
exchange tips and well chat!

Thank you everyone for the nice comments! There are a couple tweaks I'd like to make to the pattern before I start offering them for sale. But I'll let anyone who's interested know when that happens.

That'd be fun! I live in the western suburbs so I'm really close to Minneapolis.

Ahhh so cute! I would totally buy one if I had money ^^ I love how curly/wavy her hair is She is fantastic!

If I had enough expendable income where I could buy people's art (not to mention room for more plushes!) I'd snap one up in a second! I love variety in my collections, and I've never seen a custom pony plush like this!
