Oh yeah! I'll add MLC to the list.

I'm on Etsy all the time. I'll look up things that could be used for ponies. Great idea!

I was thinking of searching for videos too.

Thanks

Good idea to update the collection of links!

I don't see https://mylittlecustom.com/ among the hair suppliers, they're UK based They're not new, just missing from the previous list for some reason.

I'm sure something like Etsy would be a treasure trove for us, like there are probably ways to use downloadable items and whatnot in customising (fairy wings come to mind), but I have not explored these techniques and don't have any specific stores to recommend. The hair suppliers selling on Etsy are probably listed already.

I'm not sure if anyone makes pony customising videos? I know there are a lot of doll repaint videos out there, I was hooked at some point but then never really got round to customising dolls myself. Maybe some day! I find the videos really inspiring, though, and many of the techniques could be applied to ponies as well so maybe some of these could be linked in the tutorials list. I just wish there were more customisers using other techiques than MSC + watercolour pencils, which seem to be the trending combo.

I would stick to what basic fun is doing with new pony designs. Maybe a video game Animal Jam style.

I have to be honest, I would just make G2 again. Maybe make them a little stumpier like G3. I would probably create something really similar to LPS, like a lot of Y2K-esc abstract buildings, everything is pastel or brightly colored. Maybe something like the friendship garden's gimmick from early G2? Like, connectable fences or some sort of obvious interactive play between them.

There would be way too many gimmicks as well. Every gimmick imaginable that I like at least lol. Flocking, tinsel, butterfly wings- just all the gimmicks.  Seasonal/themed gimmicks would be fun- like every Halloween we could get a different toy theme and playset. Like let's say, a graveyard one year, a haunted castle the next, etc. New ponies, new merch for every wave of toys etc. oh and bring back fashion packs, I could get into a pony closet situation. Vampire costume, ugly sweater, aprons, tutus...y'know the works.

maybe a cartoon, but i think it would just be something really similar to TYT or Tales. It wouldn't have a solid cast- I would probably just cycle through characters a lot. I'd at least have most ponies made put as background characters. Uhh no real plot lol, it'd be slice of life/drama. Comics and other media would be the same. lots of songs

The tone would be really, really understated and casual. yes they're neon horses who bake cookies and play hopscotch. they like that kind of thing. all the critical thinking would be put into the story telling not the world building.

i guess that is it oh wait uh, no babies and no obvious gender divide in design. sorry baby pony fans. Pink is a neutral I think

Ooh, exciting!
