Need suggestions.

From the beak of Serif and his human core:
Hello all! I need to get that long depressing journal off my page. Also, I need suggestions.
I'm thinking of making and selling these:

The whole main cast, Pinkie, Rarity, Twilight, etc. This Applejack was made out of cheep craft-felt just to try out my pattern and see how she looks. I need to make a few adjustments to the pattern, and think about attaching the joints on the legs inside, or keeping them outside.
1) Would you buy this for $10? It would be cheep craft felt, unfortunately, so it couldn't be washed.
2) Would you buy this for $20? It would be real wool felt, and can be hand-washed and played a bit rougher with (such as with a child.)
3) Should I go fleece, or would it destroy the look of the toy if it were fleece not felt?
3.5) If I go fleece, would you pay $25?
4) Anything else you'd like to add?
Clearly I still need to put on AJ's freckles and apple stems. But this gives you an idea of how she'd look. I need to play with making the neck a tad shorter, and how to sew on her hair right, but otherwise this is what the toy would look like.
EDIT: AJ here is about a foot tall, and about ten inches from nose to tail (width wise.)

But then again, I dont know the size of what they are :)
where do you get better quality felt?
this is super adorable btw.
I actually got the idea from different places, one of which was you. The stitch from a set of owls, the flat character from that green dog you made that is still super awesome, the button eyes from my crochet elephants, just a bunch of places.
And screw things like this, your tiny Fluttershy is to die for!
Oh? That's very interesting! I will definitely look into that felt then. I had actually used it for some of my other projects without even knowing it was a higher quality. I am still such a fabric derp. i just know i like minky a lot.
