I keep getting asked what my plush prices are, so instead of noting everybody to death, I've decided to post a journal instead. These are my current baseline prices, shipping and handling is extra and based on where you live in relation to my spot on the globe; complex character designs or accessories will increase the cost. NOTE: if you have already asked me for a price within the last 6 months, and have the note or email, I will still honor the original price for the one item.
Once I reopen commission slots, I will accept non-pony plush requests as well; it's time for me to push my boundaries a bit. Keep in mind that pricing will be based on complexity of the character requested, including clothing & accessries, and that I don't do NSFW critters of any kind.
I like challenges, so long as I'm not asked to break the laws of physics or anything like that. I would rather not do the mane 6 unless it is for a specific/custom theme (gala, different hairstyles, gothic, armored, etc), as there are many wonderful artists out there who do them already, as well as high-quality official merchandise for a very reasonable price. I have no problem making OCs, and usually find them quite enjoyable, but please have mercy on me and don't ask me to make a Zebra/dragon hybrid with rainbow stripes and 8 miles of curled hair; I will weep. A LOT. And probably be bald when I am done with her.
- Non-pony plushies will be individually priced based on size and complexity of character requested. Given the huge range of characters that exist, I do not currently have a guideline set up as I have not tried to make them yet. As I finish more characters and figure out how long they take, they will be added to this journal).
- Standard mares: $200
- Pegasi or open-winged princess option: $25 extra
- Standard stallion (Mr. Cake, Braeburn, etc): $225
- Beefcake stallion (Shining Armor, Big Mac, etc): $250
- Filly/Colt (no cutie mark): $160
- Sitting Regular Babies (simple eyes; babies with filly eyes will be $10 more): $150
- Sitting Royal Babies with regalia & full detailing (Nightmare Moon, Celestia, Luna, Flurry Heart, Chrysalis, etc): $225
- Princesses (closed wings, with removable regalia included; stand about 18" tall): $450; ($475 for opened wings)
- Nightmare Moon (with removable armor incl helmet and double-layered, feathered wings, 18" tall): $500
- Accessories for plushies (both commercially available and mine) are based on complexity and start at $20; this includes armor, dresses, outfits, hats, props, shoes, socks, etc; I very much enjoy making them, since they add special touches to plushies (and make them more fun to look at and play with).
- Philomena (reversible): $125
- Tom and Boulder (because they need love, too): $40 and $5, respectively
- Equestria Girl Cosplay kits (swishy tail with headband ears and belt, made from fleece and microfleece): $40
- Pony cosplay or EQG pony ears (non-headband, clippable style, made from minky): $10
- Sitting Vulpix (Alola or regular): $250
- Sleeping Eevolution (or fox characters): $200
My plushies are made from minky, with machine embroidered details to match your ideas (eyes, cutie marks, details like freckles, etc). All patterns and embroidery are my own work, so there is quite a bit of customization available. I enjoy using a variety of different fabrics and materials to add unique accents to my ponies: organza, velvet, real feathers, etc. I put poly-pellets in the hooves to help them stand and flatten them out, although they will stand without them just fine. I usually stuff medium-firm; they'll hold their shape nicely and still be snuggly, so long as you aren't using them in pillow fights or handling them roughly 24/7, but are not super hard. As there is hand-stitching, wiring, and fancy fabrics or feathers, my plushies are more for adult collectors and not for children (although I can try to chibi my designs for something that is more squeezable, but will be less show-accurate).
Some notes of interest:
- MLP:FIM belongs to Hasbro, as well as the owners of their own respective licenses (Pokemon, Digimon, etc); I do not own the designs of the characters.
- I put quality above quantity, so if I take your commission, keep in mind it may take a few weeks from acceptance to completion, not counting time for ordered fabric to arrive for your piece. Full payment must be received before your commission is shipped; OCs must be paid for in advance.
- I have both cat and dog fur-children in my house, and although I keep the fabrics and completed plush away from them, the law of fur states that it will/MUST be on everything, PERIOD. If you have severe allergies, I can't guarantee that you will not sneeze your head off after your first snuggle with my plushies. My apologies.
- Please do not ask me for my patterns, or why my prices are what they are; while I chose to start plushing for fun before making it my primary operations, giving away my hard work for either free or pennies is not smart business, and if I devote 40+ hours of my life into a piece of art, it should be worth more than $25.
- I would like to accept trades in the future, but since I have limited storage space for my rapidly-expanding MLP collection, they will be few and far between, and generally for equivalent value.
- Please ask me questions; I like to interact with folk (as you can tell from my wall o'text).
Thanks for looking!

MLP and Ancient Magus Bride Crossover Idea
Not sure why, but I was suddenly thinking about crossing Discord and Fluttershy with Ancient Magus' Bride's Elias and Chise. Odd-looking, overpowered magic user who isn't used to thinking about others, and a shy, quiet girl with an affinity for animals in a tentative relationship that could go beyond "friendship." I think Discord would look snazzy in Elias's outfit (complete with head drape). Man, I wish I could draw better!!!
Anyway, just jotting down a random idea for possible future plushing. ;)
New Year, New Name, New Focus
Hello!
As you may have noticed, I have changed my name to something a little more easy-to-pronounce. I've wanted to update it for a while, and as much as I love Drachefrau, I feel this name is closer suited to me.
I apologize for the lack of updates, I did not balance my college/crafting/personal life very well this past semester. One of my resolutions is to work on this and provide more constant updates on DA and FB. Next semester starts 16 Jan, and I have a 3D design class I'm hoping to work my plush skills into. I also have a political sciences class, but at least it's not math.
I will be working on getting my Etsy shop updated as well,
Commissions Closed
This round of commissions are closed! Thank you for the inquiries. This batch will be:
- Daring Do pony with AK Yearling outfit (both outfits removable)
- Starlight Glimmer pony as Snowfall Frost (outfit removable)
- Kero-chan beanie

Hey! I've heard that you also make clothes for plushies, but maybe it's just a rumor?
