A guide on how to make a plush friendly My Little Pony OC.
I wanted to make this guide to give people an idea on what elements of an MLP oc can be difficult or impossible to plush. When designing an OC, or wanting to get one made as a plush, there are things to avoid or minimise.
This guide is based on personal experience and not all information may be true for every plush maker.

pm me if you want a quote. He'd probably be quite pricey compared to a standard plush though as he'd need a very intense individual pattern

Wow, this guide is amazing and very helpful.
I would like to ask, Would having a colored feather to a pegasi's (standard) wing be something that would be possible for a plushmaker to make? I understand there would be a cost increase of course, but I was just wondering about that small detail, since it is not directly covered.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah most plushmakers should be fine to do that

Hello! ^_^ heh, I know you said NOT to ask if OC's are plush safe... but is mine? she is simple but also has complex wings

because, I plan to save up my money than I earn cleaning my house 20$ a week and I would like to know how much it would cost in US dollars to buy her thanks in advance!

Most plush makers will be capable of making her alicorn wings, they'll just be more expensive
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
also would you consider her as a regular pegasus OC who looks good with wings? or not?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well in your guide, when you mentioned regular pegasi OCs having alicorn wings and most of them not looking good with them, I was wondering if mine looked good with the alicorn wings

It's personally not my taste but if you like them go for it

alexis25.deviantart.com/art/Re… My ponysona is ok I guess(I don't have her in mlp:fim style but... I will someday, I can't afford a plushie now anyway) but how hard would it be to make her hoodie? Elephant ears with space for normal ears inside and holes for wings(which I didn't draw) are hard, aren't they?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not too hard

I apologise that my poor grammar is so painful for you to bear.

So uh...how hard would doing a braided mane be? I'm expecting it would be pretty hard. I am thinking it would be way harder if the braids had two colors too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm you just have to find a way that works for you. Plaits are really the only type you can do with minky since you can't bring in extra 'strands' from the outside, you can only work with what you have. I just left a wide seam allowance inside each piece of hair so it made the plait slightly volumised.

Quick question, I realize my character has some of these issues: cutie mark comprised of small bits,Clothing(Goggles), multi-coloured mane etc.
But its more the style i'm worried about.. How complex/difficult do you think her mane and tail would be to plush?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh she's totally fine, trust me. She could have ALLOT more stripes and far more complex cutiemark. She'd be no problem to plush. The goggles are a small accessory to so I wouldn't worry about them. Maybe if she had a full aviator jacket and boots etc to go with it you would be looking at a far higher price, but goggles are a pretty common request

Does mine look ok? narutofan657.deviantart.com/ar… narutofan657.deviantart.com/ar… I'mgetting a plush from rubiowolf paid for by 2 friends of mine. (My birthday is on the 26th of this month but she said because of her list right now it won't be till mid September that I get my ponysona.) She said it would be $102 total

Hi! I'm a HUGE fan, and I was wondering, do you think you could give me a quote on how much my OC might cost to be plushified?
here is the link: princessluna-moon.deviantart.c…
Also, (for reasons of my own) I am taking out the extra hair on her hooves as well as the yellow so it will be just like the mane six.
P.S. do you have any ideas on what her name could possibly be?

Could you please send me the link via note?
I don't discuss prices in public

I saw 2 of the OCs in the last panel on Your OC Sucks as good OCs.

unfortunately I won't be commissioning you since I don't have any money (but your plushes are so wonderful; I've been a fan for a long time!) but my ponysona fav.me/d72ut76 would be a huge pain to try and plush wouldn't she? because of her tail and her hooves and her horn xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Her tail would be fine but those long furred hooves are a nightmare. I dislike doing different coloured hooves even without the long hair flowing behind XD. It's just a pain
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I can imagine so, hell they're a pain to even draw xD

*LE GASP* My fave oc (not on here at allz tho) would be perf in this situation! Thing is, I make mah own plushies XD
