I think it's pretty neat. It would have been cool to see a pony in such an unexpected place!

Pony gal seems to be missing her middle.


Isn't she supposed to have a hole like that? So the twins can come out?

yeah she is supposed to have a gap that the babies torpedo out of. Anyhow its a neat sculpture. However I do wish they went with a less pricier pony also. Though art is art.

Surprise Twins Mommy is HTF?  :blink: I had no idea. I have 2 in my collection and have left some to flea markets because I don't need more of them.

That's pretty cool!

To those saying it's a shame they used a sought-after/rare/valuable pony for their art,  look at it this way; at least she seems to be undamaged by being used in the sculpture. It's not like some "art" I've seen where people cut them into pieces. At least this way, she's basically being preserved forever.

That's nice, at least she's on display instead of gathering dust in someone's closet :P
I agree with Echan, seems this pony is quite common here, seen it often and found one for myself for 50 cents

I wouldn't be surprised if the artist was international.  The ship prided itself on having works from all over the world. 
I loved that a pony was preserved for so many to see and enjoy.  One person's collection is likely to only be seen by that person - but this girl was shared with thousands of travelers each week!

Oh! I like that and honestly I would probably have completely missed the pony so well spotted!

:devious:

I'm feeling sort of conflicted.  On one hand, yay for ponies and art!  I :heart: that the artist obviously connected to toys so much.  :)

On the other and - couldn't (s) he have picked a different pony?  She isn't common over here.

Beautiful art!

A broken surprise twin mommie without her babies or the part that holds the babies in isn't THAT pricey, is it? 

There is one on ebay.uk right now listed for £0.99 and no bids-  it actually appears to be in better condition that this one in that there is at least the part that is missing from the art pony...-   visitors can't see pics , please register or login

It is a really interesting sculpture :D

I think I would have sneaked up there at night and demolished the sculpture. I hate seeing toys used like this, and especially a HTF pony. :(
