I’m starting to notice a trend among MLP customizers – they sculpt unicorn horns completely out of proportion to the pony. I’m not saying I could do any better, because HA! As if. Its just that all the ones I’ve seen so far, have horns that are too-long, and I can’t help but wonder why.

Are they just hard to get right? I could understand that; the twine itself shouldn’t be too hard, but getting it to narrow into a point is probably difficult. Maybe its easier to do if its longer (although, could you not just cut it down after?)

Is it a reaction to the Hasbro-molded horns? I don’t have my Glory in front of me, but memory says the factory made horns had a rounded tip, and were a little on the short side. Perhaps when folks mold their own, they go a little overboard trying to “fix” the kid-friendly Hasbro design.

Hell, maybe they’re not over-long at all, maybe the pictures are just taken from angles that make them seem so. I don’t know.

What I do know is that looking at other people’s customs just makes me want to work on mine. Which will last until I look at something else, and then I’ll want to work on that. Fickle? Easily distracted? Me? Pshaw.
