I mentioned in another thread 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.

To make a Snuzzle out of the blue fakie, I repainted her with acrylics, sealed the paint, and then took apart the green fakie to harvest her hair for the customs gods. 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.

Keeping the original fakie hair was a gamble, but it was already pink so I took the risk lol. I combed it, curled it, and glued the rooted ends so that it would stop literally going everywhere. o_O 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.

I repainted her and made her symbol 3d with some glued-on accent stickers. I also used glitter on her horn, cheeks, and hooves, and then sealed those parts like 20 times so that none of it would escape :p 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 :unsure:) 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 <3

Super cute!

I've always like Snuzzle, the grey/pink combo is really lovely.

They’re both very cute. I don’t think there a baby snuzzle. I, too, have enormous respect for professional customizers and others with the skill. I never knew how difficult it was until I tried.
By the way. Did you know an italian snuzzle has dark Purple Hearts?
 
Cool

You're right, there isn't a baby Snuzzle, and it's criminal. :tongue: And yes, so weird that they never made her in her "original" colors like they did with most others! There's some interesting Snuzzle variants out there, I think the Macau one with a brown body, white hair, and white hearts is the most unique.

There are some really pretty variations. I only know about the Italian because I had to keep her. The purple. I really wish there was a baby of her. Maybe in the baby blossom pose?
