Seriously thank you soooo much to everyone who supported me on this LONG journey. For those attending the fair, I will have a space set up in Sweetpea's customs booth to purchase these little lovelies, next to the wonderful Sunshine and down the aisle from Ashlyne! Commissions to open after the fair! 


A lonnnnng time ago I set out to make a replica of these adorable Takara Baby Pony Plushes, believed never to have reached actual production, we only have the below image of these little cuties to reference.

Spoiler

I set out to make replicas of these little cuties so at last collectors may have them, but real life unfortunately got in the way. After what has probably been unfortunately the worst year of my life, things have finally stabilized and I am able to work on this project again! I hope to have several available at the upcoming 2014 My Little Pony Fair, as well as be open for some limited commissions spots afterward  I may also have patterns/materials kits available, depending on interest.

I'm posting my progress here as I go, PLEASE feel free to give input on the design and materials etc, or any suggestions! I want these to be as close to the originals as possible, keeping in mind the option of custom babies later on.


Progress

Lots of changes needed unfortunately. Smaller head, head shape changed, arms and feet made bigger, belly made smaller and general tweaks to pattern. Good news is we have a really great starting point, she actually looks like a Takara baby! 

Prototype 2~

Pattern adjusted and re-printed, pieces traced, cut out, and ready to sew! Hooray quantifiable progress!

Purchased some minky for the final products, it's sooo soft and a lovely butter yellow color!  The best part is I can buy it in person without waiting for it to ship online

Ive been steadily making progress, and im happy with how things are coming out so far! I think im getting much closer to being true to the original, hope to finalize the design this weekend and get working on the actual things!

Thank you so much everyone for being patient, I know this took a ridiculously long time and I'm sorry real life stuff got in the way. I'm happy to be on my way to completing this project after so long!

[NovelNerd]

Ooh I remember this topic. I do look forward to seeing them complete.

I'll also throw out there I'm one so very interested in a pattern.

[gemini_pony]

Oh man I so want one!!! Will you offer some here on the Arena as I can't make the trip to the fair.

[Nence]

Ooh I'm so intrested in one spot later! Soooo cute

[Griffin]

What an exciting project, looking forward to your pics! I'm sure they will turn out precious. ^^

[Anitas_Mom]

These are so cute!  I am another who would be interested in a pattern.

Yep! If they don't all sell at the fair, I'll have them up for sale here and plan on opening some commission spots after

Updated first post with the promised prototype shots and more! 

[TwistedRiver]

Looking great so far! I love your first go and I'm sure each additional one will look better than the one before it.

[ZennaBug]

Oh my gosh, I can't wait to see the final version!  I want a yellow one with pink hair.    I'm sorry you had such a rough year. 

[Saja]

SOOO cute

[Griffin]

It already has a distinct Takara look, I'm sure with the little tweaks you're planning / have made for the 2nd prototype it will look even better! The minky looks wonderfully soft and the colour is lovely, pastel yellow is one of my top favourite pony colours.

I am in LOOOOOOOVE!
