Hasbro anounces comic con 2012 pony Design Contest!

[Rhini]

Annnnd it's not who you think!    In fact, we don't know what it will look like yet, as they are hosting a contest to decide.


Per the official MLP fb page:


"BIG news, pony fans! We’re giving you the chance to design your own pony – and it could be made into a real figure that will be revealed at this year’sComic-Con International! Check back soon to get in on the action!"




So what do you think? Will you enter?

[josiekat]

I'll enter, and I'll see if my niece wants to enter. However, I think they really missed the mark on this one. I'm not a huge Ditzy Doo fan, but I think having her be the comic con pony would have been a good choice. Maybe Hasbro didn't want rioting to ensue. lol. I hope it's in the G3 mold.....that way I know I have a higher chance of getting one since many bronies won't be interested in that pony mold. lol

 This seems really fun! I probably won't enter the contest but I wonder what the parameters for the design are (if it must be G3 mold, etc.)

I'm not sure whether to be relieved or not that it is not going to be Pony.

Eeeek! How exciting! I hope it's a G3 too but I bet it ends up being a G4 because most of the people who follow that Facebook are g4 crazy... the regular G4s are too small, maybe a fashion style one...? It'll be interesting to see either way!

Fantastic competition!!!

However, I actually dont think that sentence reads as though the "design your own pony" will be the CC exclusive...more like a cool competition where the result will be on show or revealed at CC...but thats just my opinion from the reading the sentence! You never know with HB

[josiekat]

That's funny you read it that way hathorcat......I just had a dream that Hasbro had a contest in which the winner got to have their persona appear as a background character in a future episode. Your commment sounded so much like my dream!

I noticed that as well Hathorcat. The wording is hazy as to whether it will be the CC pony, available in addition to the official CC pony, or just be on display there. Either way it's a neat fan opportunity and i'm sure it will be clear once they release more info.
 I for one should be entering if I can think of something cool enough

Oooo, this ought to be interesting.

[SweetScoops]

Too cool! I wish I had the design skills to participate. But finally we may have a CC pony designed by someone on this awesome community!

[Malicieuse]

I bet a lot of those submissions will just be background ponies instead of self designed ponies. XP

[Opalescence]

A lot of folks have already declared that they'll try to smuggle in their fave Mary Sue fanon pony, Nyx.
*sigh*

[Varkolak]

i don't like this.

[michelle53]

Oh how fun!  Hopefully it will be a newly designed pony and not one from the show.

[Rhini]

If the winning design is in line with past design, it won't just be a random pony but a really cool graphic piece of artwork as the ones in the past have been It's less a character and more a piece of artwork imo
