Hasbro anounces comic con 2012 pony Design Contest!

[Malicieuse]

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

Oh no... >-<
Perhaps i wouldn't mind if her design was at least good/interesting...but it really isn't.
I really hope this will work with judges and not a voting system.

Yeah I do agree that it should be judged by Hasbro, and I think it likely will be because let's be real, they're not going to let anything inappropriate be mass produced by them

wow! that sounds so cool! i can not wait to see what it looks like! will it look like g4?

[Shelltoon]

I am so in on this contest! Let's go!

[PinkRosedust]

Okay so they haven't actually announced anything yet then?

[ashes]

Sounds like fun!  I bet Hasbro will get tons of great designs.  There are so many creative people in the pony community.

Can't wait to see it!!

[Starie]

I wonder if they'll specify if it's G4 or not xD Because if it is G4 I would love to submit a few designs... though if it is for the actual Comic Con exclusive then it will most likely have to be very artsy, though I read it as it's going to be a product they just reveal at Comic Con sort of thing :3

[Foxtale]

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

Thats what I understood it as. By the time they get all the entries there is no way it could be produced in that amount of time. They already have this year's CC pony designed, but this one might be next year's or something else. The winner will just be revealed there.

Still cool contest. I wish I had a good idea for it.

I'll have to keep and eye on this. If anything they still be using the G3 clone pose like they had in the past for anything like this... Though It would be neat if the pony is one of those GIANT pony

[kittybethy]

This should be fun!

What's a Mary Sue fanon pony?

[Opalescence]

canon = what the show says what happened
fanon = what the (mostly) dumbass fans add to it, believing it (should have) happened.


E.g. grimdark Celestia/Luna civilwar in ye olde times, Pony being "retarded" (which the production team then made canon) and so on.
In this amusing fanfiction world of memes, lesbian orgies and bloodshed, they have the super-awesomest of characters running around, doing the most awesomest of things, showing the actual characters how stuff is done.
And one of those characters happens to be the reincarnation of Nightmare Moon.

*edit*
Sorry if I'm overly negative/hateful. I just really happen to be disgusted by what the "truest of true fans" do to the show sometimes.

[AnnaPommes]

well, i think it would be cool having daring-doo as con-exclusive, because she sort of represents indiana jones.
But i agree with, that the special designed pony shall be a piece of art, nor just a colorcombination with a cutiemark. seeing the pony more as a canvas than how they appeared on the show. ^^ like, for example, the hizuno (?) pony, take away her extra stuff, was really nice designed. ^^oh, well, all of the comic con ponies are.
remember the underwater pony? how detailled she was. ^^

Further proof that Hasbro seems to have no good ideas left when it comes to the G4 toys. 
I should submit a pink unicorn with pink hair.  I'd win for sure!
