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 took way too long for Hasbro to get her properly released. She's super cute and one of my favorite ponies.

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.

OtakuSquirrel In reply to MissLuckychan29 [2012-01-11 18:38:04 +0000 UTC]

But insane/sad Pinkie Pie and wet-haired Rarity are cool... Those styles are lots easier! (just add Fluttershy and a bucket of water!)

It's called the "School Pals" set-- it comes with all three of Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, and also Cheerilee.

Ha! I was just going to message a small box turned up on my doorstep then I saw these pics! *fanboy squee* I'm so happy she turned up and I'm glad you like her!

Your sculpts are SERIOUSLY amazing though and I'm just staring at them and looking at how well you managed to make them 3D I need to take off bits of resin before I can take *some* WIP pics but yeah... I'm so glad this trade worked out so well for both of us.

OtakuSquirrel In reply to Oak23 [2012-01-10 16:57:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I'm still tossing around the idea of making a new sculpt for Twilight... but yeah, I nailed Rarity's look dead on. I'm not sure I could have make her look any better.

If you've got any questions on the kits, please ask, the next few days I'm going to try to get in some work on Scootaloo now that she's here!

Oak23 In reply to OtakuSquirrel [2012-01-11 14:28:49 +0000 UTC]

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...

OtakuSquirrel In reply to Oak23 [2012-01-11 18:33:49 +0000 UTC]

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!)

Oak23 In reply to OtakuSquirrel [2012-01-10 10:39:34 +0000 UTC]

I guess being stuck in a tiny bubble envelope made her hair more... tolerable

But honestly can't wait to see her with sculpted hair! Haha!

OtakuSquirrel In reply to Oak23 [2012-01-10 17:10:42 +0000 UTC]

Doesn't sticking small children in plastic bags always make them more tolerable? Egads, that's a morbid comment to make... I better try to keep my dark sense of humor a bit more in check!

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?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

OtakuSquirrel In reply to AleximusPrime [2012-01-10 06:56:59 +0000 UTC]

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.

AleximusPrime In reply to OtakuSquirrel [2012-01-10 07:03:06 +0000 UTC]

You pull and cut at the same time?

OtakuSquirrel In reply to AleximusPrime [2012-01-10 07:06:03 +0000 UTC]

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...

OtakuSquirrel In reply to AleximusPrime [2012-01-10 07:11:23 +0000 UTC]

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...
