Description Here she is.  (pics are taken at night and are low light level bad, has far better pics:  )  I also need to groom her minky coat again for better pics.

I have my most beloved pony in life size form.  As a latecomer to the show, I watched the first 4 seasons after they had aired and really enjoyed MLP.  The first episode I ever saw as it aired of MLP was the Season 5 Premier and when I first saw Starlight and heard her beautiful voice, I truly realized what a wonderful series this is and became a balls to the wall hard core fan of the show.  Starlight Glimmer really stood out for me with her voice, big hair style mane and beautiful colors and really bad temper.  But I could not have just anyone make a life size plushie of her.  I wanted her to be as beautiful as she is in the show, so I lurked while collecting other plushies.  Someone who really enjoys the show and enjoys plushies and a challenge should be the one to make my beloved pone.

I don't remember how I stumbled onto Neysanight's DA page.  I did watch her immediately and I poured over all of her WIP's new and old.  I encourage anyone reading this to read every single one of her WIP's as they are very informative and document how she figures out creating these beautiful creatures.  The first pony I was able to see her start was her beautiful Applejack.  When I saw her completed Applejack, I knew this was the artist I wanted to make Starlight.  

I saw her commissions were closed indefinitely, so I waited while she knocked out more beaufitul pony commissions.  I had doubts that I could ever get on her list but I still watched her other lovely pones being made and fully enjoyed the WIP's she posted. 

The next pony that really stood out for me that she made is her Princess Celestia.  
Alot of work went into making this gorgeous Celestia and her WIP's are my favorite of all the ponies she made.  I got so much out of just her Celestia WIP's that seeing her completed was made even better.  I showed her off to a lot of people.

Neysanight's Celestia is truly a gorgeous Alicorn plushie!

I had already contacted Neysanight about a possible commission for Starlight Glimmer.  I knew her mane and tail would be really difficult and probably a nightmare to get right, her correct coat color would not even be mentioned until much later-for no shade of minky is made in Starlight's correct color.  It was after completing Celestia that Neysanight revealed to me that she would take my Starlight Glimmer comission.

Fast foward several months and the matter of Starlight's coat color comes up.  Neysanight suggests trying poly dye to get Starlight's correct show accurate color.  I agreed and after several exhaustive tests in dyeing and observing if the dye would leech off the minky fibers onto bed sheets we found the dyeing of the minky to be successful.  Neysanight was a joy to work with.  I feel that she went above and beyond in making Starlight for me.  She knew what I wanted and she put an untold amount of hours into making Starlight.  There was always prompt communication and very informative suggestions and ideas and options.  Her Starlight she made for me is so beautiful and well built.  She makes each and every pony with precise pinning and stitcing and each finished pony is very durable and made to be a lasting sleeping companion.  The minky fabric is backed with quilter's cotton to give a thicker skin and the pony is stuffed with cluster-fil.  Starlight's mane is sewn on with three passes of stitching.  Her hooves are detail indented with just the right amount of hardness.  Her eyes and cutie marks are perfectly centered and symmetrical and both cutie marks are visible from behind.  Neysanight really put her all into this pony but I think she does that with all her commissions.  Starlight was shipped very well and was packed very securely in her box fully encased in plastic and bubble wrap boxed in two layers of cardboard.  

I am probably forgetting other details of Starlight, there is so much to mention about her.  More beautiful natural light pics are in her stash link: sta.sh/2219ukw5tbcd  and these pics really show off her custom dyed minky coat.
I would love to get another pony from Neysanight and I can really see why she has repeat customers.

I am really glad you like my mares.  These life size plushies are extremely hard to obtain and I am very grateful to the artists who made them for me.

Thank you.  She will love to hear that.  It is because of her that I am deeply engrossed in this show.

I was kinda surprised when you wrote you joined the fandom before season 5. I thought you've been a brony for a longer period of time.

Btw, I'm very impressed by Neysanight's ponies; they are very detailed and they look so cuddly. You're one lucky man

Yeah, I did not starting watching the series until 2014.  I started very late.  Maybe it is a good thing because the custom plushies now are very nice.

On some of my ponies I have stabilized the neck better, making it more firm and not getting those wrinkles. But it makes the pony too firm to enjoy a really good snuggle with. So I discuss the pros and cons of soft vs firm ponies and let my buyers decide. Lately the trend has been towards softer ponies!

Also, could be from when she was shipped.  The artist said she had to push her head down more for shipping as she has so much mane.  When I got Applejack from Poland, I had to really massage her to get her nice stance/form back.  Applejack turned out just right though and is very cuddly.

yeah i see, the neck looks more stable, but less bendy

Vile-Flesh In reply to iDragy [2016-09-17 11:07:40 +0000 UTC]

It is the weight of her mane pushing her head down and she is stuffed on the lighter side to be more cuddly.  That is the way this artist makes her ponies, their necks are more forward for nose boops when they are on top.  I can hold her upside down and massage the cluster-fil more from her body into her neck to make it a little stiffer.  Also, could be the angle of the bad pic I took.
