I'm a fan of the HQG1Cs but I have to ask... how legal is it for that factory to produce old Hasbro molds? Could Hasbro find out and stop it?
(I'm not against the project, btw. I have Genie on her way to me, hehe...)
The same level of legality as the Bubbles pose unicorn fakie or Crumpet fakies or things like that. :) Hasbro is pretty lenient with fan projects as long as they don't make themselves impossible to ignore (like the Mane6 "Fighting Is Magic" video game, where they stupidly entered a major video game convention) or damage their brand (like that really gross Princess Celestia Tumblr, ugh) or have the exact same name as a real pony (like that Mattel Bumblebee superhero doll, where Hasbro sued them because they have a Transformer named Bumblebee).
Like, to give some idea, there are over a dozen third party Transformers companies, and by "third party" I mean they are unlicensed but are busy making perfectly show-accurate Transformers characters. Some of the robots are even . . .

G1 style HOT SOLDIERS, lol. Whew, for a minute I thought that was Soundwave and Laserbeak! What a relief to realize it's Soundtrack and Laser Bird. :P
I have never heard of Hasbro going after a third party TF company, and they would be a looot easier targets.

I call this girl Baby Itty Bitty because she has a teething ring symbol. Bitty . . . bit . . . bite . . . teething ring . . . Okay, never mind. Anyway, she is cute, lol. Seen here in the bonnet from one of the Baby Ponywear sets.

This pony glows in the dark (REALLY strongly, I've known her to glow all night) so I called her Baby Night Flight.
Who's the little white sparkle baby Sunset?! :lovey: :frolic:

Baby Wishes. She was the special extra for ordering a special big bundle. She's part of the glitter island set. Her symbol takes elements from both Genie and Celebration. Whether siblings or parents is up to you :)
Looks like you can get her alone now if you want.
Are alot of these limited? Or is there a place similar to Katz, where, if I was interested in getting Genie, I could order her? Sorry, I've been trying to educate myself on these, too.
I think I know what would make a GREAT big brother pegasus pony if they ever made one! I'm thinking maybe a green body, with hair color similar to baby Ribbs. Maybe some blue alligator symbols... Hmm, sounds like the perfect big brother to me!

Well they are making these for the pony community. You pay a lot for ponies who are painted and maybe even rehaired too. They had to recreate the moulds and hair them and stuff. That's pretty cheap for something like that.

They're too expensive for what you get, IMO. There's a huge difference between a unique hand made custom and a mass produced bootleg. That said I'm happy to see them exist all the same, since it means fewer original G1's ending up as custom fodder. Would probably be much more interested if they were in the 10-15$ range.
I have never seen a fakie that looked like a copy (someone show me where to get those, lol).

Oh you guys... I seem to have accidentally just bought a sitting white blank :cool:
:frolic: :frolic: :frolic: :frolic:
Just because someone didn't paint the body or the eyes on doesn't mean they are not hand made. People spend weeks designing/ choosing colors, someone physically pours/ pulls the pony from the mold, risks their fingers on an industrial hairing machine, puts the pony in the symbol stamper, hand cuts each tail and places each head on, bags each pony with accessories and packs them, so they are, in a way, made by hand.

Wow I would LOVE to see how a pony is constructed!
Have you photos of the molds, the hairing machine and the intriguing symbol stamper in action?
I think it would be really cool to see them "being born"! :biggrin:
I know a video of someone using the hairing machine was posted once.
These ponies are a labor of love. They require a small team of us that literally spend months making them. No one is getting rich from these or paid by the hour like people working basic fun/bridge direct, and they are very limited quantities compared to any pony you'll find in a store. If each run was a guarunteed sell out, prices could be lowered so join our facebook group and spread the word to friends! You can catch special deals on cheaper ones through the group from time to time;)

Most of our ponies range in the $15-$30 range. Buying the big bundle packs is the best deal when new ponies are released and we try to spoil our supporters as best we can:) This project is still new, its not like there are 50,000 being made and sold in stores so they're more like a special mail order than anything else. We do this to bring new and unique characters with meaning, not cheap bootlegs you'd find in a dollar store. Like I said, join the group and keep an eye out for a deal;)
This is hardly a mass produced bootleg. Why don't you two make remake pony moulds and order hair and see how much it costs you?
I wouldn't call them bootlegs as bootlegs are made to be exact replicas of items but cheaper than the original in order to poach profits. These are not copies of existing G1 ponies. They are customs which are not ooak.Bootleg means simply "made, distributed or sold illegally". It does not assure better, equal or worse quality. You're thinking of knockoff, which is a cheap copy of a popular product.
To me, it's more similar to recasting a figure. Something thst - for example - the model horse community or doll community would hate because it's not legal.
HQG1 is different because I will only ever find them online. Also they are limited. Much like the Fair exclusives in past years ( which also typically cost $20-25) Even if there is a run of 500, which is a lot compared to a hand made custom, it's still a drop in the bucket compared to the 50,000 run that Hasbro probably makes of each character (200,000 if it's Pinkie :P ).
To me, it's more similar to recasting a figure. Something thst - for example - the model horse community or doll community would hate because it's not legal.
I'm not sure about the model horse community but I know the BJD community doesn't like recasts because most BJD "companies" are small groups of artists. Most playline doll communities actually embrace bootlegs.
When the Narnia movies started coming out, the movie studio (don't remember which one it was) actually did go after someone who was selling a MLP custom based on the White Witch.

I'm sorry for the customizer but this is so oddly specific and made me laugh.

I think my one concern with the project, if I have one, is that, knowing that a pony was probably sacrificed to create the moulds used
The ponies aren't actually destroyed to make the molds. Though I believe they must be hairless.

I think I mentioned it before but I like hair. So to me that would count as destroyed ;) I guess that it just troubles me slightly that it was that pony. She's the only one to have that pose and she's not common...of all the newborns to choose...unless she was so fiendishly wrecked in terms of marks as well. I dunno...

Well, you could think of it this way: because of that one pony's sacrifice customizers have a lot better option for customs in that pose and it might save many vintage ponies in the future.

Part of baby bouncy' ear was missing and had bite marks all over her. She is not destroyed, and not one less. She still exists and we plan to rehair her. and

Make sure that you post completed pics so that we can honor her appropriately for her sacrifice. I know that i love my babies that she helped create!!

...just out of curiosity, how many sets do you guys currently have planned, and how many ponies per set do you foresee producing?

I'd rather see a rare G1 used for the project to make many new ones than see it customized into some random OOAK.
I'd rather see a rare G1 used for the project to make many new ones than see it customized into some random OOAK.I agree in part with this. I have been, and still am, looking for Mimic like crazy, and l sometimes find mimics butchered to become uglys OOAK. And by this l mean, some people are actual artists with customs, and others are just not at all...
I do know that we are trying to make the customs more affordable in the future for everyone.. also poses are being modified.

Clipper - to make things less expensive - would HQG1C consider selling hairless pony blanks for customs?
Does anyone currently have the Valentine's day pair up for sale or pre-sale? (Or when they will be up for sale?)I ordered mine off of KatzPonyShop: https://katzponyshop.ecrater.com/c/2092337/g1-hq-collector-custom-ponies (https://katzponyshop.ecrater.com/c/2092337/g1-hq-collector-custom-ponies)

Applejackbunny, the Valentines ponies were in the pre-order stage before. They started to ship this weekend. :) So it will be a bit still, but should be soon.
Anyone know how long it takes for delivery on one of these? I ordered mine on 3rd of Feb and am still waiting... Am in UK and ordered from UK website.
Ok, thanks Cyberunicorn. I will be patient. I'm waiting for Genie - so excited! I also want Dasher now, lol! They're all so pretty.

Hi Clipper - is Thursday likely to be a date for dispatch/processing from mainland Europe too or will it be longer?
Taffeta, Europe will be a bit longer since They're using a different postal service. I'm thinking those will start to process in a week or so. :)Anyone know how long it takes for delivery on one of these? I ordered mine on 3rd of Feb and am still waiting...

I haven't gotten my valentines bundle yet, but I'm excited.
Just curious since someone else asked something similar, should I expect a shipping notice on paypal?

If you ordered through Katz pony shop, her box has not arrived yet due to some delay with usps. I believe it's set for delivery today, so orders should start to process tonight.
PayPal will give you tracking info.

Is that a Flutter? She reminds me of G2 Secret Tale. They're both very cute.
does any body know what colour kitty love is, is she orange or yellow. and does anybody have any comparison pics of her with bubbles. :D i would love to know.
yay for sitting ponies :biggrin:

Kind of mango-y. She's definitely more orange than Bubbles is. :)
I have to second this. I don't have Frost or Snow but I never thought of them as the parents for the club baby. :)
Great idea.

I'm VERY interested in the Slushy ponies! Too bad this is a fanmade project, or you guys could've like. Partnered with Sonic and made ponies themed after their slushies, and had like product tie-ins or something.
Speaking of which, are the names set in stone or is there a possibility one of them could be like a limeade or mango slush pony?
I got my Valentine's girls earlier this week, along with the surprise bonus pony, Lucky Star! They are so beautiful! :)
Just thought I'd share an updated pic of all my HQG1C ponies together. ^-^

I still need to fix the hair on the other two :/ That is the one thing about these ponies. They come with the maddest hairstyles. I swear my Lovebound arrived looking like she'd used Tina Turner as her coiffure inspiration...
So I went looking for the white Daddy Frost and the white sitting pony today and they are only listed in the UK shop. Will these be restocked soon? Or did I just miss them?I think you may have missed those two now. You can always ask on Facebook if they have any left. They monitor that frequently and usually respond quickly.
So glad I stumbled across this thread, except now I want them alll! I ordered Kitty Love, and she is amazing. It's almost like being a kid again - new G1 ponies I can open! I'm keeping an eye out for Genie - I wish I grabbed her a few weeks ago, now I can't seem to find her in anyone's shop.May have to do the same to see if they have Genie any more. I thought that I saw Clipper post her on eBay not too long ago, and at one point she was up on Amazon as well.
Awesome, thanks so much for your help! =)You're welcome!

I have to keep my social media presence to a minimum so I use my mother's account to view the group on Facebook. Will I be removed if I never post?
i hope they remake the main six in g1 poses like
fluttershy being in the locket pose
apple jack in the truly pose
pinkie pie in the quackers pose
rainbow dash in the firefly pose
rarity in the mimic pose
and twilight in a combo of powder and lofty
We actually always announce when the new ponies are coming in the for sale and also customs section of the arena. We don't post pre order links at the same time here, since there can be delays. The Facebook group is easier for communication, live video feeds.
Another collector posted here that they were coming out of excitement. We haven't announced pepper jack to the arena yet, because there is nothing to show. I also started an hqg1c topic last year to talk about the project and show ponies.. and not many replied...
We will be working on updating the mylittlewiki hqg1c that way all the names and photos of current and potential upcoming customs are listed and pictured. :)
Yes what i meant was its hard for me to post images from a phone but apparently photobuckets app might be playing nice today. Let's see if this works!Still cannot see the photos. Stupid Photobucket.
Here are the few items currently on pre order. Glitter modified dragons, cowboy hats, and our teaser for Pepperjack

Also part of the reason for a closed group is to try and bring the community together. We screen out potential trolls/hackers etc to keep our group safe. We want this to be a community effort and to reach as many G1 fans as possible. We encourage this project to be more word of mouth than putting everything on public forums so it brings collectors together by commumicating with one another.
Oh Photobucket, why you gotta be like that? Makes me worry about what I'll do if Flickr does the same thing someday.im dreading the day that happens, i love FlickR, they are the best. everyone who owns a photobucket account should move to flickr, i have never had a problem in all the years iv been with them :P
What I am really getting at is the vague "this is happening!" and then the need to go hunting for that information as opposed to having it easily accessible.
Thanks for posting pictures of him. I hope you will keep posting here on the arena. :)
Like some of you I also find it hard to find the information. Social media is social media. If you have a huge pony project going on, why would you not want to post it on the pony forum?

Thank you for the picture of Pepperjack :)
I think it is important to make sure your product is available to everyone in terms of promotion. It's basic business sense to promote it everywhere you can, not expect your customers to play treasure hunt to find it. I understand about not posting here till you have a prototype, but what you are actually doing is classifying your customer base not by interest but by the social media platforms they use.
If it is your policy not to post till you have a prototype, you shouldn't be offering teasers and information in fragments in other places and not here, because people can easily bring bits of that information here (as we saw). It may have been someone else who mentioned Pepper Jack here, but they only were able to do so because information was available in other places that wasn't available here. If you release the same info in the same places at the same time, that doesn't happen.
And I feel like if you want to maximise your return, the phone aspect isn't valid. You are operating a business concern. I don't know of any business which limits its advertising because it's easier and more convenient to post by phone to certain limited areas. If you want to sell the maximum number of ponies, you need to promote those ponies, and not make people here feel like they are less important (or maybe trolls and hackers) because it's easier to post from a phone.
Basically what I'm getting at is that the convenience should be on the buyer's end, not the seller's. If you're asking your buyers to do all the legwork to find out information, or to join specific groups or forums just to get information, then you're risking limiting your market. Not everything can be done on reputation. More promotion here has got to be good for the sales of these and that helps everyone because we all want them to continue for a long time to come. And we want to have the opportunity to buy them without the massive headache of finding out where to buy from and what is coming out next.
I understand what you are saying, but I should't have to be told on how to promote and sell ponies
I love my Dasher and can't wait to get my Pepper Jack!
I will admit, I was afraid to join the facebook page because 1. I'm a guy and 2. My pony hobby is a secret from friends and family. I didn't want them to see me posting pony stuff. But being a closed group, I have a little sense of freedom and can now mingle with fellow collectors in another social forum.
Looking forward to whatever comes down the line next!
Thanks for the answer Clipper. Bet your looking forward to having him in your herd too huh? My daughter sure is.
You can whine and complain about price and design blah blah not up to your standards, if you don't like it go make your own.

Did anyone complain about price and design ?
You know what I'm complaining about? Too many cute ponies being made. We want this one and that one and that one. Waah! Boo! Hiss!
If we're not careful, we'll be up to our ears in ponies. What a tragedy that'd be. :silly:
will there be any more sitting plain white ponies being made in the near future? :D

Possibly, but not at the moment. I may have a few more Snow's hiding in some boxes. Just check on my ecrater shop often, I sometimes manage to find them and post them up. :)

It's a group project. Those in charge of the group have done the leg work and found a factory and are paying them to remake old g1 molds and then producing original characters using molds that look just like g1. There have been several released thus far. And now they are even moving on to "modified" g1 molds. We will be getting a male unicorn this year hopefully. They tend to cost $25-35 for the adults. You can join the Facebook group. Just search hqg1c collector customs. Or take a look at Clipper's shop.
I'll post some pictures of mine when I get home later.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share some updates. Pepper Jack is coming along nicely... He is still not finished, but here is a progress photo. I hope you all like him. I will be setting up a Orlando Pony Fair pick up thread under Pony Fairs, sometime this. As well as another thread in the For Sale section with pre order links to ship for your country / region. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Oh is he a TAF? He looks fun! Would be a great addition to the TAF foodie ponies like Sugarberry.

Yes but he is delayed. Not sure when he will be made.
Aw, Pepperjack is adorable!can't help but think he's related to Applejack somehow
I really should get a couple of these ponies soon. Now I just have to decide which ones to get first... :wonder:
"He will have freckles as well"
SOLD SOLD SOLD
I can't wait for him to come out... I would like to be part of the Orlando pickup thread. Will that be here on the Arena or on the HQG1C forum?
I have never heard of Hasbro going after a third party TF company, and they would be a looot easier targets.It's true. Third Party transformers has always been something of an open secret with Hasbro. They know they're out there and know exactly who they are, but they kinda turn a blind eye to it. Third Party vendors are actually the MAJORITY of sellers at conventions like TFcon and Autobot Assembly. However, Hasbro did draw the line at their own convention BotCon, in which Third Party on the vendor floor was not allowed. Again, it was an open secret that Third Parties still attend and sell, just from out of their hotel rooms which everyone calls "Parts Parties". So if any Hasbro die-hard loyalists ask questions, they can just be like "Yeah, you know, I'm just selling parts. A little bit of this, a little bit of that." And yeah, there actually are die-hard Hasbro loyalists that bash Third Party collectors - even if Hasbro themselves don't really make a big deal out of it.
Haw ! I didn't know them until -very- recently, and.. hum... it's *possible* I bought a few... Hem *5!*... of them right now through your page, Clipper...
Anybody have the Valentine girls? I just opened mine. I got the pearly versions, and I am somewhat...underwhelmed, disappointed? There is a black spot on the white one's right shoulder. I know they say that they may have random marks but it is so obvious on the white pony! And it seems like it is under the pearly coating, so assuming it is not removable. Also, the red's pearly coating is hard to distinguish on her coloring. I just feel like they were not quite worth what was charged for them. They just aren't as great as some of the past releases. Especially, being more expensive being pearly. Anyone else somewhat underwhelmed by these or any other release? I feel like I am just stuck with them, especially with the black spot on the shoulder of the white one. Maybe it's time to learn re-hairing and maybe that will help me like the white one more even with the black spot. I feel like I am talking about Jack Sparrow's black spot summoning the Kraken lol.Sent you a PM ;)
I only have the regular valentines and there aren't any flaws I can see in terms of marks and such. The hair is pretty wild on them, though. I haven't had a chance to do anything about it yet. Genie (who I don't have) has such nice untangled hair from factory, so I do wonder if the rooting is different for some of these. It's not really a complaint, just an observation. I like working with pony hair and doing the hair and stuff but I wonder if there is any way in the packaging of these before distribution that some kind of tie or something could be used to prevent hair getting tangled (especially if going into long distance transit?) MLP used to use (and retro ones still use) plastic strips to keep the hair from getting tangled and messed up. I wonder about that for future releases that have small heads and lots of hair...
I loooove the sitting pose and the pink flamingo really pops with the fair pony's blue body. Looking forward to her!
I saw a picture of her where she was called Fair Feathers . . . I don't know if that's her official name or if the person posting just came up with it.

Are these guys' hair good to flatiron? I'm thinking about trying to separate Celebrate's tinsel from his hair long enough to flatiron it once or twice, since I've tried everything else and his hair just will not lay flat.

Someone did flat iron a celebration's hair in the facebook group a few months ago. So it is probably ok to.

The fair ponies name is Fair Feathers ;)
I got my Fair pony today! She's beautiful :D

I saw that. I'm so in love with her. Huge congrats Sunset! :hug: :frolic:
@.@ Ahhh she's so gorgeous!! :lovey:
This might sound weird or lame but I was wondering by chance if maybe anyone else would want to collectively think of a secondary name for her as well, maybe like an unofficial "Fan name" if that makes sense?
I've been thinking about that for a bit because I've been wanting to give mine a nickname like other pony names, other than just Fair Pony 2018. xD I personally think that might be kind of fun! :D
Or maybe if her creators had any pony names in mind for her? :D
Try to light was with conditioner too. Do you have a comb /hair pick? I’m thinking it will help detangle that. Please Let me know the results . :)Haha, this is actually after I've already conditioned her hair! The hair isn't really tangled any more, just those locks of hair that are just frizzy. I don't think I can really do much about it, I ended up just braiding her hair to hide it.

Are the Artistry Girls going to be available at the fair?
Also, just out of curiosity, are the Farmer Boys going to have other poses, or are you st i king with the current pose?
I’d love to see a broken neck/Princess Tiffany Pegasus pose pony. I’m not even sure if that’s the correct name for the pose but it seems to fit :lol:
How lovely! What method did you use to straighten her hair? She looks great!Thanks! I coated her hair with conditioner and used a hair straightener.
Straightened Puppy Love's hair and all the frizz went away :) Also painted over her eyes a little due to them being misprinted 1mm to the side

Their hair seems to withstand heat better than mlp hair and it's a delight to straighten (compared to frizzy mlp hair) :)How lovely! What method did you use to straighten her hair? She looks great!Thanks! I coated her hair with conditioner and used a hair straightener.
Oh thank god! All my HQG1Cs came with really untameable wild curly hair and I was wondering if regular G1 straightening methods would work
I love all of you so much for introducing me to these. It's a little too close to Pony Fair for me to order any right now but I am DEF going to be getting some very soon. I just requested to join the FB group too.

We will be at Pony fair, so you can see them in person. There will be some sales going on as well. :)

Oh that's excellent! I'm looking forward to the fair and hopefully adding a few of these to my herd!
Treated my Fair Feathers hair, and wow!! It was totally worth it. I did what Matcha suggested earlier.
It changed the hair texture, and also it styles super nicely. I will work on some more this week and post more photos!

I got six of the glitter dragons so I could make glitter versions of the UK princess dragons.
I also want to try treating my ponies' hair like Matcha did, but to be honest the thought of using heat terrifies me. Maybe I'll test it out on the hair of a HQG1C that I intend to customize anyway.
Speaking of which, I have seen people giving the 'glitter blank' ponies dye jobs that just blow me away. Like, multiple colors so that ponies look like nebulas and sunsets. I am in awe.

Thanks for the link :ohyeah: but I am not on Facebook :sad:yeah i don't do facebook either but still very keen on seeing pics though.
Can't wait to see the rest of the Farmer Boys and the Artistry Girls! Would it be too much to ask for teasers...? :blush:

Typical that this happens when I can't buy ponies :/ How long is that going to run for?
Also, I really like the Artistry ponies. When and if I ever have money again I will probably be looking to get one or other of those. Clipper, can you confirm whether they will/are available through UK and/or European stockists (pref. UK) and whether any of them might be around at Ponycon in October??
Well, that's something at least. Thanks for the confirmation :)
Taffeta , If you are able to do the giveaway, and want to save on postage. I am certain PaintKitty will let me put your order in her bulk box, and she can mail her to you (or collect at the ponycon). I could message you your coupon numbers. ;)Well, that's something at least. Thanks for the confirmation :)
How long does it take to ship ponies after ordering? I ordered a bunch weeks ago and I haven't had any confirmation of shipping but I have been asked by ecrater to leave feedback.

Which shop did you order them from? There are a bunch of ponies on pre order. I just processed a few of the distribution boxes the other day.
Ponies on Pre order:
*Ulitmate Bundles
*Ultra Bundles
*Sweet Treat Sisters
*All Katz Pony Shop , Paint Kitty's Stall and The Pony Business are distributors. There ponies are all on pre order as well. They come through me first and get posted to them. all those ponies have been shipped to those distributors.
So is Clipper kind of in charge of this project here? I submitted some kind of request on FB. But I have questions, and I am a sculpting artist. I have IDEAS!

Clipper, when I click the newsletter in my email, it comes up saying I need an app to view it. Is there anyway to read it without an app? I really wanted to read the piece on painting symbols. Thanks in advance

ooooooh the Artistry Girls are SO CUTE! I know what I'm buying next paycheck :)
I love the Artistry girls. Their colours and symbols are very 80’s! Their tails look a little thinner than normal G1 flutters though - is this correct or is it just the photo?

The artistry girls were actually concepts for pretty mane ponies that were never made. We found an artistb that used to work for hasbro who had drawn them as a full set of 6 instead of just Scribbles and Dabble so we decided to bring them to life:) We did give them 2 tone tails which might be a little thinner than a flutter but not much. We just thought the 2 tone jazzed them up a little more;)

Since you brought to life one unproduced concept could there be another one in the future? Perhaps Celestal Ponies?
I'd love to see a thread like that, Clipper! ^.^
I purchased from HQG1C, so far, 7 ponies and a dragon and I'm delighted like I was six years old again. I mean, I'm in my forties, but my squeal is totally six years old still.

the Fancy Swirl (Celestial Ponies) are a bit complex.. I think it would be best to leave it to the ones doing the 35th to attempt them. If they don't ever make them, we can look into it.
We are already planning to bring to life another set of unproduced ponies. Our Date Night set is from an unfinished concept by an original artist, I just can't remember which one. Some of you may own the prints that were sold. We're really excited about this set as they will all glow in the dark:D
We're currently working on a thread/place to list all the ponies. Our facebook group has a google doc currently. All the sales from this give away are going towards our exciting new molds!

For those that own them, are HQ ponies squishy like old ponies, hard as a rock like twinkle eyes, or somewhat in between?

I would say they have about the same squishability as the Sparkle ponies, a set which are not as squishy as most G1s but are not rock hard either.
I'm very excited for Prism and Whirl!
Edit: I'd like to pre-order a Magic Star stand, Prism, and Whirl, but I can't figure out where. Are they available for pre-order yet?

omg the new Artistry Girls :heart: _ :heart:
and ooooh those boys - will they both have white bodies or are those just test colours? Sorry for all the questions ^^;
Are Prism and Whirl like prototype Dabble & Scribbles? They're really pretty. :)

Black Friday Sale begins today ~ Please Look for my post on the For Sale section of the arena!!
I love the baby boys!!! Definitely going to be getting them when I can -

Oh, sorry! Don't tell anypony, but the teeny tiny ponies are the "mystery gifts" that come with the colts. They are really two-packs! :)
Does anyone know what the official name for the Christmas baby girl is? I know it's Holly something, but I've seen a couple of variations and I'm not sure which is the 'right' name for her, heh.The Teeny Tiny Baby is "Holly Berry", the Christmas boy is "Candy Cane" :)
I don't really like flutter ponies but OH MY the artistry girls look amazing :inlove:
I am telling myself I don't need the ones that look like Dabble and Scribbles because I have Dabble and Scribbles and I also have no money for pony stuff really at the moment.RIGHT? I keep telling myself teh same thing...deep down I am also telling myself that's not going to work...lol ah teh pratfalls of being a completist...

I have the other four from Ponycon and they are my absolute hands down favourites of the HQG1C ponies. But now I am torn about whether I need the other two to complete the set. Gah.
But I recommend the artistry ponies. They look really pretty on my shelf :) two of them standing guard over my library books (I guess they're the academic types) and two hanging out with my other ponies (they're more into the social side of university life...? ;) They have beautiful colours and, most importantly for me, they have manageable hair.

Would these be new colours or replicas? I'm not in the market for replicas, but I would consider new colour shells if there were new sea ponies to go with them (not just glittery bases or whatever but proper new sea ponies). I do like sea ponies :)
I love seaponies so much, but I don't have adult one, only 3 babies without their floats. And I don't know why, but the fact that babies never had their own shell always bugged me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's not like they would stand upright with their floats.
What about baby-size shells ? That would be amazing ! :frolic: A nice and fitting way of displaying them. :D
In the meantime, I would vote for the seashell as well. ;)

Hi. If I can ask, will copies of bag-pony (from bag, Cotton and Bluebell) be made? White, maybe, and mirrored, or unicorn/pegasus?

OK, I was never really into the sea ponies as a kid, but I have to admit, I like the looks of these! These will definitely be a temptation. Whether I have the room for them is another story! :D

:shocked: OMGS your making Sea Ponies!!!! The blue and yellow ones are my favorites! My daughter likes the white and blue.
Do they have names?
:frolic: :yippee: :hifive: :tackleglomp: :taco:
I told myself I didn't need these.
Then I thought maybe I needed one.
I really like the final versions though.
I will have to give this some thought. Clipper, will they be available in international locations at a later date as well? (UK, Europe) like previous?
I won't be at ponycon this year most likely, so I might have to pass on these :/ Import is just not worth it while outside events are playing havoc with our currency and making everything hit the import threshold much more quickly.
TPB is great but the couriers they use tend to leave things at local stores rather than deliver to door and I can't drive or navigate to places so it's not really a solution for me either sadly.
Pity, they are very pretty :)
Hopefully they'll get here eventually! Or someone will do a UK bulk order I can get in on. Thanks for the info!

Taffeta - Do you get charged import fees from the ponies coming from other countries in Europe?
If there is a UK bulk order formed I will message you right away.
I'm in the UK too and would be interested in the seaponies.They do? I didn't know that. The last time I discovered it wasn't coming to my address after it had been sent, so there was panic all round. If there's a better option maybe I'll look into that when they get stock.
Clipper, could you announce here or message about availability please?
Taffeta, it costs more, but TPB have a postage option to send parcels to home addresses rather than pick-ups. I had one sent this way.
