If you have a Target near-by, check that. Their web-site can tell you if near-by stores have it in-stock (although they might not be completely up-to-date with the info) They're about $15.

Yeah, it is. I've never tried styling any of the hair myself, but I think it works pretty good. does really good work with his customs...

I have helped alot in styling manes for my friend... I mean other wise his Pinkie Pie figurine would look more like insane/sad Pinkie Pie, and Rarity... oh gosh, her mane would be so far off from the tv show.

I still think they look amazing regardless. I hope I can do them justice...
I'm just wondering, how do you sand/carve the flash from inside the concave areas of the pieces, because they sort of sit funny right now and I dunno how to approach making it sit better on the head...

To get that stuff, you either need to work at it slowly with a good knife... or (the easy solution) use a dremel tool with a grinding tip that can get in there easily.

Yeah, it's the one that he "fudged up" her hair (it honestly looks fine to me, but I'm going to be plucking her anyway to do my own sculpting!)

Interesting. Tomorrow I'm gonna go see if I can find the CMC and customize them too. I think I have asked this before, but what is the best way to 'pluck' hair?

I pull on the hair and use a really sharp X-acto knife to carefully cut it off at the roots. It's a bit tricky to hold the pony AND pull the hair with just one hand, and wield the knife with the other hand... but it gets the hair cut right at the root with no extra stubble.

Yes, I usually try to angle the hair a bit forward so that if the knife slides along the hair, it travels down towards the pony's scalp. But by keeping tension on it, the hair stays straight and the knife will cut it where you want it to cut... instead of sliding farther up on the strand of hair.

Ah. Yeah, last time I didn't have an exacto with me so this time should be different......if I find the CMC that is...

If you have a Target near you-- you can use their web-site to see if that store has any in stock. My brother said he found them hiding behind the big electronic talking Princess Celestia toy....

Eh.......I dunno, it might say they're there but they're not or vice versa. I'm just gonna go check at least. I also have to buy a few art supplies that I've been wanting/needing...
