Rylie Alexis was completely repainted a gentle baby green color.  However, it's a bit more vivid in real life...I think the lighting washed out the pics.
Her wings were sculpted entirely from scratch using epoxy clays over a wire base.  They are very firmly rooted into the pony's body, but I still recommend her just for display.  They are quite heavy, making the pony's total weight about 7 ounces!!

Rylie Alexis' eyes were repainted in pink with black lashes.  There is a tiny crystal rhinestone where the "reflection dot" usually is. ^_^
The wing feathers were each sculpted  and detailed by hand. Yes, this took a long time, but I think the effort was worth it!  The design was based off an angel garden sculpture, but modified to fit onto the pony. ^_^

Similar to the 1st gen ponies, her symbol of a flying elephant is on both sides.  The non-display side symbol is a mirrored image.  They are painted freehand, so they are not quite identical, but close!
Here, you can see some of her clear sparkly eyeshadow.  She was re-rooted with nylon hair in pink and warm brown colors.  Interesting combination, but actually quite nice in real life.  Her tail features the same colors and is the standard length.

Her hoof mark is a pair of feathered wings covered with iridescent glitter.

Her symbol is a baby elephant with glittery wings.  Awwww...

Rylie Alexis is a CUSTOM PONY, not affiliated with Hasbro, and this design will not be repeated.
She is signed and dated under one hoof.

A concept sketch.  This pony doesn't exist in real life. ^_^
