Description
Oh dear, am I too late for the Flutterbat train?
This plush is certainly a milestone for me. First pony with my completely new pattern, first batpony, first open wings, first Fluttershy... and I'm really happy how everything turned out, especially the ears. I'm also glad my plushies finally have a butt. And what a butt!
Flutterbat features:
- High quality Shannon Minky and Maderia Rayon embroidery thread
- 16.5" tall, 17.7" long
- Hollow polyester fiber stuffing
- Silicone pellet filled hooves for effortless standing without the loss of cuddliness
- Polished Sculpey fangs
- Fully posable wings
- Fully flexible tail which can even hold things!(see picture)
- Made in Germany
Applebloom is not for sale (yet) and just wants to get her cutie mark in bat taming.
Thanks to SpaceVoyager for showing me those amazing plastic armatures.
Critique is more than welcome!

Flutterbat: No bully is going to lay a hoof on my good friend Apple Bloom! (angry hissing)
(big cute smile) Okay, Apple Bloom. I think they got the message.
Apple Bloom: (really big grin) Land sakes! Thanks, Fluttershy--I mean, Bat!
Flutterbat: You're welcome. And don't worry about the name. You can call me Fluttershy again after Twilight changes me back to normal. (squee)

Hi!
Sure would love to! I should be able to open the next round of commissions in late fall. Drop me a note if you're still interested by then.

This is one beautiful Flutterbat. I really envy you those fangs, they look so damn good! The ears are beautiful, I love the eyes colors.They are not 100% show accurate but they match so well! I like how you attached the mane. In my opinion the butt is a bit too puffy but it's a minor thing, I really love it!

Aww, thank you! Means a lot. Yeah, I actually let my friends vote on it and they thought crimson looks more sinister and I agree!

No offence but. "ARE YOU LOCCO IN THE COCO!?" That's expensive! How much did it cost you did make that thing!? I mean it's beautiful but holy shizznit 500$!? We aren't even spending that much to hand make costumes at my house wow! the most we've spent so far for two hats, a bracelet, a tunic, and 3 sets of Troll horns was about $50-$60. God. along with only so far 5-10 hours in the making and about a week for the troll horns because it takes a long time to make those. You must be rich dude!

I can't control how these auctions go, but even if I could - it took me 30 hours to make her, material costs were over $50, and eBay + Paypal take away 16%, leaving me with 380. That is not even considering the time and money I needed to develop the pattern and embroidery designs, prototyping (2 months alone for the embroidery), cost for machines, heating, space and everything else required to acquire the skills. You pay for all that. You pay for expertise. You pay for me working an entire year on improving myself to this level. And even if I wanted to I can't just churn these out. They're hand made, with love, care and dedication. Overall I make much much less than I would at, let's say, working as a cashier. Why don't you try asking a carpenter for a custom table just crafted for you from the finest materials? Do you really think it will be as cheap as an IKEA table?
So, no, I am not rich.
You might also want to consider reading this if you're still offended. If you still don't understand you are definitely not in my target group, anyway.

and that.. is .. the ugly true... u.u
I hate the % that ebay and paypal take... and amazing plush. In my opinion is the best Flutterbat ever

Anyway, thanks!

This is the very best Flutterbat plush I've seen yet, both for the terrific design and also for the great photo spread. The form is terrific and great job with wings and ears; that wicked face is to die for, especially with some real fangs to puncture punctuate how hungry she is. The picture with the toothbrush mad me laugh hard but I guess she needs to keep those chompers clean.

good job! may I ask where did you get the silicone pellet? I also live in Germany but never could find it...

Sure! I got them here .

Drat! I looked for something like that for a very long time before giving up and buying hard plastic pellets. I've asked them if they ship to USA. Maybe I can just buy soft rubber bullets on Amazon...

Hmm, took me a while to find them as well. They're mostly used for "Reborn dolls" as a weighting material. You want to search for "baby fat". Here's two eBay listings I found real quick.

That... That sounds like a very creepy thing to search for! Thanks for the links and research!

Yep, reborn dolls are absolutely terrifying.

She's adorable! This is well-proportioned, the head looks great too as it's rounded nicely without making the eyes too far apart.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! It actually took me quite some time to get the head look right from every angle. Turns out 2D ponies don't translate that easily to 3D.

Der eigentliche Star der ganzen Szenerie: die Zahnbürste. Definitely.
Flutterbat ist dir grandios gelungen! Von allen, die ich bisher gesehen habe, gefällt mir deine mitunter am besten! Besonders wegen ihren Öhrchen. *_*
Wie Catsby es schon schrieb: andere sticken die dunkle Fläche nur und das mag mir auch nicht so wirklich gefallen.

Haha, fühlt sich irgendwie komisch an, auf DA Deutsch zu reden. 
Danke! Ich liebe die Ohren ebenfalls. So schön groß und weich~

Everything about her is amazing!

I think that these are the first Flutterbat ear interiors I've seen that aren't fully embroidered. Looks great--very fluffy!

Yep! They were a pain to make, but it was definitely worth it. Thanks!

Just noticed the dock of the tail! I don't think I've seen that in a pony plush before. Part of the new design?

Yep! Glad someone noticed it.
