Derpy!
I have never ordered something so fast in my life.

It’s not like the artist could make it any cheaper…Unless he makes it smaller.
Well, I’ll stick with it personally being overpriced.
I wish mine sold for $200.
I’ve seen some on eBay selling for $200+, though admittedly those probably aren’t typical. Still, the point stands: $35 for one of these figures isn’t bad.
Most customs go for $30-$60 average. I have never seen a custom go for much more than a little over a hundred for a very detailed pony.
“Overpriced as hell” is those $200 hand-painted customs that still look like crap. ~$35/pony isn’t bad, especially given the high quality of Hashbro’s models and the (to my eyes) high quality of the prints. Seriously, I have Vinyl and Octavia, and they’re great.

They aren’t any bigger than a brush-able. Overpriced is something I’ve come to expect from a sizable number of fan crafts. Art, Plushies, Figures, there are plenty of examples of people gouging because of demand.
they are also using shapeways full color sandstone, which means they can’t take a hit or fall or anything. the cost of printing on shapeways in full color sandstone is $0.75 cm^3. hard to judge from the pictures whether they are charging a lot extra or not
That’s not very overpriced in my opinion. :/
And I’m not saying that because I don’t have any money (I earn about 600 bucks per month).
