As the person who commissioned for this plush and another one of Nyx, I will say straight forward that, although this critique will seem bias, I fully intend to be fair and truthful with everything I have to say. This was something that almost never happened because I just wasn't sure if anyone in the brony community would have the creativity to leave me satisfied with what I was getting for what I was willing to pay...I'll be damned if I didn't say that this proved me wrong.There's a real reason that I chose this artist to request commissions for, and that was because I could see she could do the job and do it best. From the standard body to the extra physical features that can help stand ponies out from each other, MLPT-fan knew what she was doing and had the proof to back it up, not to mention always trying to improve her work in any possible way. She gave me the final convincing I needed with another plush, her Rainbow Powered Twilight model, and that made me decide that I wanted her to take on a similar challenge and make me a new plush of my favorite (canon) pony, Princess Twilight Sparkle.The body itself is wonderfully done, especially since I was able to have it made with the color closest to the actual body color. The head is shaped very well, the eyes stand out beautifully, and the ears and horn are very well detailed in their appearance. The body, a lot firmer than I thought it would feel, is well sculpted as well, and the infamous cutie mark on the flank really stands out. And of course, a point of controversy to bronies to this day, the wings are absolutely gorgeous in both detail and appearance, helping to express that princess-y strut I think the character deserves.The mane and tail are both gorgeous as well, having just that right shade of three colors we've always seen Twilight have. The mane is shaped very nicely, especially how it goes down and around the neck on its left side. If there's one complaint that I'm sure others may have is how the top part just seems to circle around the top of the head, but for me this isn't an issue as it shows how it does actually look in a three-dimensional perspective. But all in all, the mane and tail are both given proper justice and look fantastic.The overall result is a work of art, but if there's anything that I'd like to put greater focus on, it is the process of making Twiligiht just as the pictures show her. Since the very beginning, MLPT-fan has been nothing less than patient and honorable with any and all request made to achieve the final result. From fur color to wing placement, she worked very hard to provide her customers with satisfaction and joy, as well as provide multiple updates and progress reports when time allowed her to. The overall result is a true example of creativity and professionalism on her part, and how do I act when I see this in my hands for the first time?Well, here's a little fun fact to share-Yesterday was my 27th birthday, and I received a certain package from Poland when I was at work the day before. Knowing what was inside, I decided to wait one more day to open the package, allowing me to clean some space for my pony collection's newest additions and get some rest before spending an evening with family and relatives. I woke up the next day, and then I opened the box ever so carefully, and out of the two plushies I found inside, Twilight was the one I first removed from her packaging. How did I react?I smiled, I laughed, and then I let a tear or two shed out.Princess Twilight Sparkle is incredible in every possible way I can look at her. The sight, the shape, and knowing everything that went into achieving what you see here combines together marvelously and blew my expectations out of the water. If there's one complaint I can think of, and this is nothing more than a meaningless nitpick, is that I didn't expect the plush to feel so firm, and more so expecting her to feel like a soft stuffed animal. However, that means nothing to me because I've never held a plush model of such high quality work before. This was exactly what I wanted in a Twilight plush, and I'm glad I made that commission.Thank you, MLPT-fan. Thank you for all the hard work and devotion you put into this. In the description, you called me the patient customer, but the truth is that you are the real patient one as you honored everything I asked of you during the creation process and not once can I recall you saying no unless there was something beyond your control to handle. You are a credit to the Brony fandom's artistic creativity plush making in general, and I look forward to see what you make next.To anyone looking to have their own pony plush one day, or is just a fan of what this community is capable of blowing the minds of many with, keep your sights here and see what opportunities could be available. This is the first of two plushies I've given a critique for, with the other I'll talk about soon, and that one will really give me plenty to say.
