My Little Pony G4 to G5 Custom: Izzy Moonbow - Repaint, Rehair & Sculpting MLP Movie OG Toy

You asked me to try a G4 and to do a custom of a G5. So here are both :D A bit of a chaotic and frustrating project, a lot of things went wrong and I wasn't sure whether to show this Izzy Moonbow custom. But I decided to point out my main mistakes to help you avoid them when making your own :) So I hope you still manage to enjoy the process!
