Title: Poster with ALL "design a character" winners on it at SDCC
Post by: LadyMoondancer on July 12, 2012, 05:26:06 PM
Wow, this is super-cute!  What a nice way for Hasbro to celebrate all the runners-up of the character design contest, not just the winner!

Didn't someone on the Arena have a friend who submitted the pretty Egyptian style pony?

(They even put furry hooves on the little baby pony like she had in the design--nice touch!)

All of these are so awesome. :) It must be really cool to see your Pony character featured on an official poster like this!

I was under the impression that the winner would be made into a Pony toy. The photos that I've seen of the Hasbro booth show a cardboard stand-up of the winner. Was she not made into a toy? :(

Super cute! Congrats to all the winners. I can't wait to see what they do with the grand prize winner's pony. :D

So adorable! And what a great thing for the finalists to see their ponies together...I cant wait to see if they do have an actual pony version of the winner on display!

Oh now that is really neat!  I bet all the runner-ups feel really proud that their ponies got put on a poster ^_^.  As for my favourite, I can't not like that one in the back.  She's wild, and I love the pose they put her in, lol!

I wish the donut pony or Indian-inspired ones could have been made into toys! They're all great though, and nice of Hasbro to make this. :D
Are there pictures of the model version of the  winner?

Are there pictures of the model version of the  winner?

All I have seen so far in images is essentially a large cut out of the pony...but I am sure in the original competition Hasbro promised an actual large scale version of the winner...I hope that still happens.

I looove the donut pony! Are there any Hasbro donut ponies? I'm thinking not, but I'm not quite sure!

That's really neat! I bet they are pleased to see their ponies made into 'official' artwork like that cos I know I would be! :biggrin:

It's cool that they did that for the finalists! Sugar Sprinkles is the winner in my heart. Haha  :satisfied:

From another thread:
I came across this looking for pics of Crystal Empire merch, no longer a cardboard cut-out! And it looks like Hasbro did bother to give her a G4 body, unlike the giant Headache :drama: Pony. I think she looks great :D It's too bad she won't be made into a real figure:

Check it out! This picture of the winner and her character as a super-sized pony toy was featured on the MLP Facebook page. :)

Does she get to keep the giant pony though? Be awesome if she did :)

That is adorable.  I am surprised the donut pony didn't win, based on the overwhelming response she got from everyone here.  Also I still love that Egyptian pony  ^.^ very cute.

Congrats to the winner, they have an awesome design and I hope they give out copies of the poster to the contestants.

I might have just re-posted a photo from Bronley's quote by accident... It didn't show up on my silly phone. Sorry if I've been redundant!


I hope she gets to keep it, but I don't know! The contest terms seemed to make it very clear that the resulting toy would belong to Hasbro.

Yeah that's what I remember reading too :huh: Hopefully they meant that the design of the pony would belong to them and they will let her keep the real model? Or maybe they made 2 or 3 models? Who knows..

Yay! I am so pleased she was again made into an actual pony [the green eyes are a trifle odd]...but the whole thing is very cool! Congrats to the winner.

Oh man, I can't believe I missed this.  I would have loved to design a pony.  Congrats to the winner!
