Fruit Bat 1

My take on the fruit bats from My Little Pony. I've been keeping an eye on what is popular throughout the MLP world and I'm surprised I haven't seen any of these around despite how cute people seemed to think they were. They're all prototypes in their own ways, with something done to each one to figure out the kinks.

Strawberry: The first one, with the seeds and teeth glued on because I didn't have an embroidery machine at the time, and a hand embroidered mouth. His ears do not have any stabilizer in them so they are a little on the floppy side. He has a strawberry shaped body.

Orange: The second one and my least favorite because I made his head a little too big. He has a rounder body to give him more of a orange shape. His eyes were hand embroidered just to try out a different expression and I omitted the embroidered mouth to see if that looked better, what do you guys think? His ears have two sides of stabilizer so they stand up a little better.

Lemon: The third one and probably my favorite. She has the same body type as Strawberry and I just like it better. Omitted the embroidered mouth again, but the teeth are glued on. Her nose was sewed on instead of glued on like the others, which gave it just a little indentation. Not only is it more functional, it looks better, too. Her ears only have one side of stabilizer to see if two sides were really necessary, I think they are.

They are all hand sewn, with a little machine sewing for details in the ears and wings and made with Ultra Cuddle and fleece. Safety eyes were used and painted for the reflection, I think modge podge should be used to make sure the paint doesn't chip. Once I get used to my embroidery machine, I will definitely be using it for these guys.

What do you guys think? I know they're not show accurate, what other changes should be made?

~~~~~~~~~~~UPDATE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow! Just wow! I am so happily overwhelmed by all the comments and helpful suggestions from you guys, I just want to thank you all again.

I have had quite a few people interested in these guys and just want to let everyone know that they are for sale, but they are on a made to order, first come first serve basis. I'm keeping track of those who have already asked me and if they remain interested they will be kept in order.

I'm selling them for $35 per bat, with the ultra cuddle material. I can do minky, but I've never worked with it and I will have to change the price a bit and make sure there is a color in stock. The price will also change if it is out of the country to cover shipping costs, but I will have to look into it first.

If you are interested just let me know:
Color: Ultra Cuddle comes in Red, Orange, Yellow, Green (both light and dark), Blue (both light and dark) and Purple (dark) to be show accurate, plus Pink (light and dark), a Turquoise (I believe).
Eyes: "open" or "closed"
Body Shape: "strawberry" shaped (like red or yellow) or "orange" shaped (like, you guessed it, orange)

Thank you all again so much for your help and kind words and I look forward to working with you!
