What size G4 do you prefer to customize?

[retrogradenova]

My friend wants me to for a G4 custom of his pony character. I am completely thrown off by all the different sizes g4s come in. What do you guys prefer to customize?
And also how do I tell the brushables from the fashion styles? I really have no clue what I'm looking at when I go down the toy aisle.

Well the regular brushables are just the little ponies with nylon hair in the bubble packaging or the cheap plastic bags. Fashion styles are the nylon hair ponies that are about twice that size. There are also G4zilla's which are the big 8" nylon hair ponies. I prefer the bigger ones as there is more space for detail!

I prefer the ordinary pony size. I've never done a styling G4.

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.
