Blind bags? Showing off my ignorance
« on: May 08, 2022, 09:23:39 AM »
I admit to not being up on much G4!  I got a bunch of these girls in with bags of the brushable ones and I'm just wondering if these are the blind bags?

Also I'm sure people have customized them right?  How do you work on such a tiny surface?

Feel free to show off any customs using these guys!

They look like blind bags to me, or at least most of them.  Not sure about a couple of them.

Here are some customs I did with blind bags.  I needed to use my absolute tiniest paintbrush for the eyes and be extremely careful, but otherwise it wasn't too bad!

The also make great keychains if you get one of the tiny screw eye hardware thingies (I don't know what they are called!) and screw it into the head.

Thanks to Shimmlight for the new avatar image  :biggrin:

Looks like these are actually from a Target exclusive set released for the movie!

I would probably suggest selling Tempest (dark purple pony) and Cadance (pearly pony), but I think only hardcore G4 folk like me would care about the eye and paint differences on the others.

I need to try my hand at some blind bag customs again! They look so fun to just do mindlessly, although painting on the tiny surface is certainly tricky. Your customs look great, Sunpony!

Those are adorable Sunpony!  And what a good idea about turning them into keychains!

Oh interesting!  Thanks so much for letting me know!  Would I just list them in the Sales forum here and see if anyone is interested?  I wouldn't have any idea how much they would be worth

I'd be interested in buying Tempest and the clearish Celestia I'll Pm You about them!

Sounds like Starflash has you covered! (Celestia, not Cadance, my bad!)

Very nice find and nice customs too, thanks for sharing. I love the idea of making little models for these and customising them. I'd probably need a magnifying glass  :)
