That actually super cool. Its not like they're super rare or anything, so thats good :3

That's kind of cool and kind of disturbing all at the same time.

That is cool to see them, but its also sad that its a pony!

[Like A Tea Spoon]

I'd rather this person reserve their destructive play ways to G.I.Joe and wrestling figures and give me the ponies.

Sid from Toy Story has grown up and gotten himself a nice camera, huh?

[Adelius]

That does look pretty awesome, but the ponies and Pikachu made me a little sad ;___;

I don't know whether to be angry or amused...

[MnDancer]

I'm actually just curious as to how he blew them up; I don't see any firecrackers or anything... how did he do it?

[FlitterRose]

K,that's actually kinda disturbing and freaky... *pretends she's not disturbed at all and runs away*

[sd_dreamcrystal]

Kind of cool but makes me sad for the ponies However some of those mid explosion shots are "What the Heck?" Anyone notice the 'red' in the mid-pika-explosion?

Oh yeah!  I was going to post about this but I forgot to.

Apparently this is the artist who has made a name for himself filling watermelons and pumpkins and household objects with gelatin and then filming the effects in slow-motion when they are shot with a high-powered projectile (like a bullet).   This is clearly his newest project, doing the same with toys.

While part of me goes, "NOOOOOOO!", most of my brain realizes that he's not destroying TAF babies or really rare ponies.  Many of the G3's and G3.5's weren't popular in the first place and the G1s are fairly common.

LOL that Pinkie pie looks like Thing from The Avengers.

Someone linked me to this the other day...I am going to settle for "weird" as my response. But hey art is all about getting people talking...just not sure what I am supposed to be understand from this lol!

I realize they're just toys and I realize it's art - and art can be disturbing.  And I don't have to like all types of art.

That said, those just made me sad.
