MLP Custom: Head Hunter Store


Let's see if I can start blogging of all my toys, especially the customs I make.
Here we go!

Latest custom first.
This pony was made as a gift for the owner of Head Hunter Store, Dean. He makes cool custom toys and sculptures and stuff, and I thought that it would be kinda fun for him to get something, instead him always doing stuff for others.

Head Hunter Store has a wide selection of vintage and modern toys and collectibles, as well as all kinds of stuff from sci-fi, horror and games. Long story short, awesome place:
So.. much.. stuff.. (Images from Facebook/HeadHunter Store
I had few G4 Twilight Sparkle My Little Ponies waiting to be customized, so that was an easy choice as a base. I originally though I would make the pony all white, but ended up painting it black.

I wanted the custom to have the Head Hunter Store's logo as a "cutie mark", but the pony clearly needed also something else.
I had previously done Predator/Alien custom pony with a facehugger, and it turned out pretty well, so I decided to take a "safe route" and do another facehugger, this time I just put it on pony's head, not on it's back like I did last time.

Hair was a bit of a problem. 
I wanted to use black for the custom's tail, but unfortunately I had none left. Color choices were pale purple, orange or pink. Or the really deep green I ended up using. I wasn't really happy about it, so I added some metal string around the tail, hoping that nobody notices how ugly the color actually is :D

Here's the pony:
