I mentioned over on the MLPTP that if I could afford an army, it would definitely be Snuzzle. Then I realized that I could make my own Snuzzles! Continuing my fakie custom trend, here are two girls I'm very proud of <3
The first custom used these interesting dollar store fakies as a base. They're hard plastic and interestingly, their hair wasn't rooted into the pony. It was rooted into a flat piece of plastic and then placed in the coin-slot-like opening on the head, which you accessed by... ripping the pony in half.

I used the tail to make a forelock, and the mane to make a longer tail. Snuzzle-fakie basically kept her original mane and got more hair on top of that.

I need to vacuum my room after this.
Second fakie custom is based on one of these cuties. And since it was already going to be "off-model" being on a unicorn base instead of an earth-pony base, I decided to go all-out for this girl.

this was my first real rehair as well! (my previous customs just got their plug holes hacked to death so that I could shove stuff in them

) I broke a needle in the process of hand-rehairing her, and I have a whole new respect for more serious customizers! She's rehaired with yarn and three different colors of embroidery thread. I also tied some beads into her hair. I am SO happy with how she turned out
