My Little Pony G4 to G5 Custom: Zipp Storm. Rehair, Repaint & Sculpting - OOAK Variation MLP Toy

Today we have our second Generation 5 custom. We're going to be using a G4 Twilight Sparkle to make the Pegasus Zipp Storm :) I had done a G5 before (Izzy) and that was... a struggle. So I wanted to give the new family a second go. I can say that, although it wasn't a resounding success, I am actually fairly happy with the result. Especially the eyes, which were... well, a little over-surprised in my last attempt. I'd love to know what you think about Zipp. I hope you enjoy the video!
