in my search for specific shaped pony plushies, i decided i needed to make them myself! and why not make them weighted as well! as all my plushies are, the feeling of a weighty friend is always very important!
the specific design choices i wanted to bring to these ponies over other designs i had been finding include: weighted beans, more horse / pony like snout (stylistically different from the series!), bigger and more detailed wing feathers, traditional unicorn features like the tail type and the chin tuft, differently shaped legs than the style of the series, bigger cutie mark patches, some minor redesigns how i like to imagine them!
i hope you guys like the changes to their designs i implemented! (not all of them do have changes as i felt their design was perfect!)
their legs are floppy and shaped in an optimal huggable and holdable way! they are 25 inches long and weigh approximately 2.5 pounds!
for the initial goals i want to achieve in this campaign are the mane six and the two princesses, but i would love if we could make it to more goals past them! there will be polls for what characters should be up next! which would include characters such as discord, the CMC, cadence / flurryheart / shining armor, King sombra / queen crysalis, and many others!
the first goal to unlock, when we hit "funded" on the campaign, is my personal favorite of the mane six : Fluttershy! i know so many love her too!
Each plush is appropriately 25 inches long (some may be longer due to tail length), and weigh 3 pounds! Fabric is short minky! There is a minor edit needing to be made to the size of her eyes, but otherwise the plush sample is completed!
each stretch goal will unlock after additional $3k funding for each!
when all of these goals are unlocked, more characters will be added for every $3k funding! polls will be up for voting for these stretches!
This campaign will not be holding a design contest or offer customs at this time. You can reach out to me separately if you want to possibly order a custom plush.
Due to the uneasy oil situation, I can not provide accurate shipping prices. As gas prices rise, so do shipping fees, which means I may be having to charge a little extra by the time surveys come out, or I may not have to. Currently the estimates are $15-$35 for us backers.
for international backers, there is a "save my spot" pledge to qualify for any freebies offered in this campaign, but the preorders will be made through Etsy. Etsy offers a shipping option that bundles VATS payments with the shipping fee, as well as makes the customs info much easier! Timeline
these dates are only rough estimates, i will be communicating throughout the production and survey process to keep everyone updated in case date changes happen! Launch: August 1st End: August 31st Survey and fund collection: mid September Production: September-October Shipping to backers starts: November-January
Hiya! My name is Skye! i am currently a graduate of digital art and game design with a hobby for vending at conventions! im just starting my small business journey, and its started rough, but i have confidence in the future if i keep working hard at it!
i usually make my own plushies by hand (so getting a manufacturer is a new experience!) and they've been my pride and joy of my vending experiences, i love when people are so happy to receive a friend i handmade them! i still make plushies very often, but mostly just crochet! they take a lot of time and effort but it is very rewarding!
i have a passion for creature designing and found i love modeling my designs in zbrush, though they are much different from the art i tend to post, since it is usually easier to make my cutesy stuff! my art style has a wide range from realistic to chibi!
