It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been here so I’m sorry if this is a thing or not, but I was wanting to make molds off my Petite Pony collection and cast them in resin, both for making and selling as jewelry and for my doll collection to have their own mini collection. They’d be obvious customs in color combos that the originals did not come in. Is this something that’s being done? Or is there like a community consensus against them?

I personally have no problem with casting since it's for custom ponies. The only question I have is how one would hair with resin being a hard material. Is there soft resin?

There is actually soft resin now! But I was planning on using the ones with sculpted hair, not the ones with ponytails.

I bet its for New Years! Next year is the year of the Horse, so it makes sense with the slightly Chinese styled outfit. I hope they put out the other ponies in matching outfits!

I had the toys but didn't care for the show. Had Gweneviere, two different dolls of the pink haired girl (I thought she was the princess apparently), a male doll, and I guess the villain doll (she had a dragon crown and glowing eyes). They got mixed with another set of dolls the same size with a similar jewel theme, so I have no idea which accessories went with which (I had the two horses posted already, another horse with brushable hair, a leopard with a crown and saddle, and a smallish cat)

So I picked up my first few blindbag ponies yesterday, and I love em!  They're so tiny though, so I was trying to think of a way to carry them around with me.  Then I realized they're a great size for cell charms!  After doing some experimenting with an old Ponyville, I came up with this lil tutorial. 
You'll need:  Blindbag pony of choice, some beading wire, beads, pliers, wirecutters, and a small drill.  I'd suggest a little pen-drill like this http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Ashthepirate/008-4.jpg
Find a spot that is narrow-ish but will hold pony securely, and drill through.  I'd suggest somewhere in the hair.  Some ponies you can go just under their forelock/bangs like this http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Ashthepirate/010-1.jpg and some you can actually 'hide' the drill holes fairly well within curls like on the Rarity mold. 
Cut about seven inches of beading wire and thread it through the pony like so http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Ashthepirate/015-3.jpg  Thread both ends of wire through beads of your choice.  Knot the end tight, using the pliers.  If you have jewelry end caps, you can attach them over the knot and attach a clip or jump ring.  If not, you can just carefully pull on one side of the wire and slide the knot into one of the beads like I did. 
Now either clip or loop the charm onto your phone and you're done! http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Ashthepirate/016-3.jpg

If you'd rather have a keychain you can put a jump ring or triangle-shaped ring into the drilled holes instead, or make as a cell charm and then loop the end around a ring. 

Did anyone else try this?  Post em so we can see!
