Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on December 19, 2012, 04:49:44 AM
Important Dates

Signups are from: May 1 - May 10, or until 20 spots are filled
Partners assigned by: ASAP

First photo check in: June 7
Final photo check in: July 11
FINAL SHIP DATE: July 18

Always check your host’s feedback before joining a swap. PandaBerryInSpace's feedback: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php?action=trader&id=13702

Rules

1. You must have at least 5 positive Arena feedback to participate; newbies need at least 2. eBay feedback will not work – sorry!
2. You must have been an Arena member for at least 3 months before sign ups are over.
3. Submit pictures of at least 3 of your most recent customs; newbies need at least 1 example. This is a skill-based swap, so I need to know how to pair you.
4. Ship on time! I understand that real life gets in the way. If you are going to be delayed for shipping, please let me know!
5. No shipping early! I will provide a shipping address when you are cleared to ship.
6. Let me know when you ship and when you receive your custom.
7. Be sure to have pictures ready for check-ins!
8. Keep your shipping receipts! You must be able to show proof of shipping if asked. Delivery confirmation is highly recommended.
9. Do not tell anyone who your partner is. It's a secret!
10. This is a G4 swap – please do not use any older generations or fakies unless your partner requests it.
11. Be sure to post on the thread at least once a week so we know you're still with us!
12. You must be in no more than 2 other swaps. (Total of 3.)
13. Extras are always welcome – however, don't go overboard. This is a custom swap, so the custom should be the most exciting part!

I would be interested in doing this around March/April.

Post by: Ren-Ren on December 19, 2012, 12:18:17 PM
I would absolutely join this, as long as it stays completely G4 (no turning G4 blind bags into brushable G1s, for instance).

A March - April start would be around the times of Winter Semester Finals for me... Would a May start be ok? I have a bait Unicorn that I can work from. Also, would this be open to new peoples?
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: jwalraven on December 30, 2012, 12:15:27 PM
I don't know how my schedule will be around then but I can say I am still interested if I am available. :)

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on December 30, 2012, 12:45:19 PM
A May start might be okay... It depends on my schedule, since I'm going on vacation at some point over the summer, but I don't know whether it's going to be in July or August.

I would definitely leave it open to newbies, though! :)

This is gonna be so much fun!!! any date works for me, but In the finals week, i'll be a bit slow about things. I found a complete database if people are looking for reference images to work from:

http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/G4/G4mini.html#ponyville (http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/G4/G4mini.html#ponyville)

They have waves 1-7 and offers great detail shots too.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on December 30, 2012, 01:07:21 PM
So, if we do this, how many blind bags should we list as favorites? I'm thinking five, but I have so many favorites, it would be hard to narrow it down!
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: CottonTALE on December 30, 2012, 01:09:04 PM
I personally think it should be a surprise, like the blind bags themselves :)
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: carlabarla on December 30, 2012, 01:09:37 PM
It would be for 1 g4 pony right, I would say put 3-5 favs that way it's easier to pick.  And I like the late spring start
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on December 30, 2012, 01:46:35 PM
So, May start? How long should the working time be?
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: CottonTALE on December 30, 2012, 01:49:33 PM
hmm, 2 months perhaps? may and june to work on it, then we can make sure all of our ideas are concrete before the time period starts.

I'm also definitely interested in this!  A simple swap that shouldn't take too long.  I think the only challenge would be finding the right hair color to match the BB.  Lots of fun though!  I like CottonTALE's idea of making it a complete surprise, just like the BBs.  Maybe narrow it down to a certain wave though?
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: rosierjay on December 30, 2012, 11:59:07 PM
i think it would be really fun. but like others a little later in the year. feb or march would be better. just joined another swap.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on December 31, 2012, 05:46:57 AM
Well, I'm not sure that making the pony a complete surprise is a good idea, if only because I don't want anybody to be disappointed in what they receive. There are a lot of diverse blind bags, and not everyone has the same tastes. Besides, it'll still be a surprise if you list five favorites, because you don't exactly know which one your partner is going to make. ^.^

That being said, I don't think we need to limit which wave, either. There are just too many cool ponies to choose from.

I second this :) perhaps move the top 5 to a top 10? that way there is a chance to get in at least one fave per wave/special BB ponies and no person will have to sacrifice a favourite.

I think we should keep it at 5 that way you know it's your most fav ones and its easier for your partner to pick. I personally don't know a lot of the BB because we only recently started getting them here so I don't know any of the sets before the metallic/sparkly ones or really any after.

True.

Post Merge: December 31, 2012, 07:01:45 AM

I have a quick question, are their guidelines like "no making a pony that has already been made" and such? and if so, how would that work for ponies that only reached prototype status like minty and sweetie blue?
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on December 31, 2012, 08:04:43 AM
I've been thinking about that, myself. I don't really think it would be much of a big deal to choose something that's been made as a brushable already... I have a feeling that there are some who would be interested in a Minty and/or Sweetie Blue custom, since they're so rare. And as for anything else, I don't think anybody would choose something that's already widely available. XD

Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on December 31, 2012, 10:19:26 AM
Though, I am wondering whether there should be a limit on what kinds of ponies used. Should it just be limited to basic ponies, or should special molds like Gilda be allowed? What about boys?

I'm thinking it should be up to the discresion of the person who is making the pony. Maybe a limit of 1 special mold/boy pony request per person

Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on January 21, 2013, 09:08:07 AM
I hope so! I can't host anything right now though, as I'm in three swaps, and, anyway, I still have a month before I've been an Arena member for a year. So, if I'm hosting this, it wouldn't be for a while. (I'm always up for a private swap, though...LOL.)

Alrighty :) I'm just checking in to see if this is a go. I am still in need of customizing tools like hair hanks, paints, and a rerooting tool.

I agree with this. Gilda would take a ton of sculpting and boy baits are expensive.

I would LOVE to do this one if it happens after my current swaps end. I think April/May would be great.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: rosierjay on January 21, 2013, 10:50:17 AM
i agree too.
though if i were to get a boy i think it would be fun to see it interpreted as a g4.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on January 21, 2013, 11:43:28 AM
There are different ways to handle it. One of the easiest ways to turn a girl into a boy is by adding a little bit of clay to the muzzle for a more rounded look. I made two ponies like that, but I know that not everyone likes the way that looks... ^^;
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: CottonTALE on January 21, 2013, 11:45:22 AM
The thing I'm looking forward to about this is having some new colour combinations into my collection (my collection is drowning in pink right now ^^;)

Post by: Wagnerwakka on January 21, 2013, 11:54:29 AM
I'd love to be in this swap! I just finished my first G4 custom, and I reaaly like doing them!
One of my bigs worries was to make a boy using a girls base. But some people told me it was more in attitude then in shape... and really I think my persona (he is a boy) turned out great... and manlier...
Wel, this swap sounds wonderful for me! And would be the only one I really like to join by now!
Here in Brasil we do not have blind bags... but I think the databass would fit this hole perfectly!

Also another question... will be partiners decided by skill or just handom?!
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap

Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on January 21, 2013, 12:13:42 PM
I'm sure you will. :) I still have to decide what the requisites are... Once I'm cleared from some of my current swaps, and after I've hit my anniversary, I'll try to get this approved.

I think we could put boys on the list... Cause we can make girls base looks very manlier if we want, so I think would not be a problem making male in girls baits!  :P
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: rosierjay on January 21, 2013, 02:17:07 PM
true. i don't think there even needs to be any sculpting done. (least not for me)
just having the a strong lack of eyelashes is good enough. xD

That is true! After all, they made FS Shining Armor in a girl mold, and he looked just fine!

And, if you want to go for a more FiM look, fluffy hooves like Big Mac are VERY easy to paint on. I've done two ponies with hooves like that! :)
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: Wagnerwakka on January 21, 2013, 03:48:02 PM
Wow! That took some time to pick just 5 ponies to make a list... :shocked:
It was little difficult, cause I don't really like full body repaint, just dying jobs, sooo I had a hard time thinking in the possibles base/custom.
It's funny, I ended choosing 5 unis, now i know they are me favorites in G4! haha :biggrin:

Now for my list...

Spoiler
Golden Delicious is my favorite, but bait will need dye!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Sweetcream Scoops is my favorite too, but would need a difficult bait or dye too!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Sea Swirl is very easy to find a bait, and I do love her symbol!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Rainbow Wishes would be easier too, but she has a wonderful color combo!

Pudding Pie is not so wonderful like others, but I think she can come out very cut!

So, what do you think of my choices?! Am I too picky?!  :blush:
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: rosierjay on January 21, 2013, 03:50:36 PM
that will be a good thing to add to the list when making the wish list.
dye or paint. i only paint my ponies. so it would be important for when choosing partners
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on January 21, 2013, 04:33:40 PM
I only paint as well, though, there are some colors that I absolutely cannot paint. I'll try take that into consideration when I do the pairing, though... I'm probably going to ask to a link to previous customs, so that way, I can get a good feel for what kind of work you do. :)

Awesome list, by the way, it's not too picky at all. It's funny, I normally favor pegasi, but all of my favorites are Earthlings or unicorns, LOL!
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: CottonTALE on January 21, 2013, 04:36:47 PM
I prefer Unicorns and Pegasus Ponies :D

Absolute favourite ponies are Bubbles, Rarity and Fluttershy :P
Title: Re: Gauging Interest: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap
Post by: Wagnerwakka on January 21, 2013, 04:45:03 PM
I Think Panda will have some hard work finding the correct partners, but I think that will be amazing! Jus put on the form, some good questions like: do you prefer to get dyed, painted or original color bodies? And what do you prefer to do, dying or painting? The same with sculpting, and so on... I think this would make your job easier!

I really love the unicorns, they are my G3 favorites too... And G3 rarity is my favorite pony af all! I'm already planning on making her into a G4... Soon, I'll be starting working! Wish me lucky! hehe

For the newbie category, it's probably going to be 3 feedback and at least one example of a custom. This isn't going to be until April or May, though, so there's still plenty of time to make customs and build feedback. :)

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on January 22, 2013, 11:21:35 AM
I think it could count, but at least one feedback should be from here. I'm not sure... I'm pretty sure there's rules regarding that already, so, I'll ask a mod about that when I get this approved.

BB to brushable sounds like a great swap! If you have the newbie category I would love to join. Though, narrowing down which BBs are my favorites sounds challenging :P

I am interested, but I am involved with two other swaps at the time, one I am hosting. (You knew that bit.) I just wanted to express my interest!

If Saply is in, I am even more interested XD I love her g4's! lol

I was thinking about which bb's I like best and man, is that hard! Maybe Tealove, Golden Harvest, Pepperdance, Golden Delicious and Ribbon Heart? Man, that is hard to choose. I better grab some bait g4's while I am waiting XD

Post by: TexasGal on February 08, 2013, 06:44:51 PM
Exactly my problem...I love the boys but I don't like that there aren't brushables yet of them (Shining heart doesn't exactly count, does he?) but I love plenty of other bbs that are pretty girls, so that helps a lot!  Well...sort of...narrowing down and picking will be awful xD

I still need to get my tools all set for this! I'm thinking of going the homemade route for the rehairing tool (found some awesome tutorials on it) I just need to order hair hanks to make my first one :D

I have a homemade rerooting tool and I love it.  The only problem I've had was with needles occasionally breaking, but that is to be expected.  It makes it so much easier...I hadn't realized how much time the rerooting tool saved you!

Eeeek I'm so super interested in this!! I have so many blind bag ponies that I would love to see as brushables, oh man. I'm actually kinda glad this isn't starting until May, because I'll have more feedback and examples done by then. :lol: Still an arena newbie!

Post by: spookysage on April 02, 2013, 06:17:01 AM
This looks like so much fun, but I think I'll be too busy (going out of state, etc.) to get enough feedback by then! Maybe next time - guess I'll have to make my own Barber Groomsby. :lol:

Swaps are the only way to get feedback, is that right? At least, the swap rules are the only place I saw anything about them...

Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- SIGNUPS START MAY 1!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on April 14, 2013, 12:18:21 PM
Little bit of both, really. The requirements are lower for the newbie section; if you don't have a lot of feedback, or if you haven't made many customs, you can be placed in the newbie section. Also, I'd like to point out that, if you do meet the requirements, but you feel as though you would like to be put in the newbie category due to skill level, I can do that. Just let me know which category you want to be in when you send in your signup.

Signups start in a little over two weeks -- for those of you who need feedback, there's still time to get it!

I'm going to have to say nay to the FS size. We don't get FS sized ponies in my area either and when we do, the prices are too expensive for me to afford and then they are gone the next day.

AHHH!!!  So excited to sign up (which I am sending in right now).  I am ok with FS, but I would rather not do them.  If you have a brushable size, you might be able to do two (like if you ended up not doing extras and did another custom instead, kinda thing?)  point is, they are a lot easier to get ahold of.

Hmm, what is everyone's favourite symbol theme?

I personally like ice cream-themed symbols! my favourite brushable is Sweetie Swirl, but I like Sweetcream Scoops and Rainbow Swirl too :D

I haven't done a custom swap in a long time, but I think this one sounds like fun. Sent in my form, and waiting to hear if I can join the fun. :)


****edit**** Yay! I can't wait to get started. But first.....gotta pick out a list of my own. lol.
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- SIGNUPS OPEN!!!!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 03, 2013, 10:12:02 AM
My ponies don't really have a theme to them... Most of the ponies I picked were picked due to their uniqueness.
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- SIGNUPS OPEN!!!!
Post by: CarnationTwirl on May 03, 2013, 02:39:11 PM
I didn't have a theme in mind when picking either.  I do adore the vast majority of blindbag ponies, maybe because they're so hard to come by and overpriced in my area.  That made it hard to narrow down to five.
I wish StrawberryReef had the card info for all the blindbag ponies.

Post by: TexasGal on May 03, 2013, 08:19:39 PM
Oh lord, I just love them all.   I don't like certain themes.  xD

Still need to send in my info.  Might be tomorrow night as I am bushed from this whole week.  o.o

When I first made a list, there were 15 ponies on it! I had a hard time narrowing it down to 5. I think I might have sent in a list of 6. They are all so cute. Sadly, my approach was "Who do I think is cute.....AND who do I think Hasbro will be lazy and not release as a brushable ever." lol
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- SIGNUPS OPEN!!!!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 06, 2013, 10:52:02 AM
Honestly, it's okay if you sent in six -- there were a few people who added bonus ponies to their list. ;)

I wonder if some of the figures that were made for the playsets (like the new/accurate Fluttershy and nurse pony) are going to make it into upcoming blindbag waves.  I hope so, those three packs got cleaned out lickety split over here, even though they had a considerable markup.

By the way, since a couple of you have already asked me: you can make more than one pony for your partner if you wish -- however, if you do, keep in mind that you may not get more than one back. :)

Post by: TexasGal on May 11, 2013, 10:23:52 AM
Quick question:

Is anyone else going to make 2 ponies or just one and extras? 

What do y'all want as extras?  Things you like, etc? 

I like chocolates, customizing supplies, bead stuff, baits, anything lol!  Love nail polish and just fun, cute, adorable stuff!  I'm super easy, LOL!  My favorite colors are purple, pink, blue, silver, heck any color lol!  I like fun, happy stuff.  It is great. 

ETA:  darn it, you beat me to it, LOL!  Didn't see your message in time, LOL!
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!

If nobody stops me I'll make every pony on my partner's list lol. No, I'll probably limit it to a couple :D

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 11, 2013, 10:30:31 AM
I know how you feel, hanna!  :lol: That being said, I'm probably going to make two.

As for extras... Let's see. I don't really require extras, but if you want to include them, I like chocolate and gummies -- but nothing sour. I have no allergies, so you don't need to worry about nut products. I like customizing supplies, particularly paint cups and hair. I also love getting cute stationery and My Little Pony stickers!

I think i'm just going to focus on doing one for now so I can make it the best custom I can do :D

In terms of extras, I like Lemonheads and anything by Wonka. My fiancee, Mr.TALE likes dark chocolate (Lindt's Chilli-Pepper/dark chocolate combo is his fave) I could use more customizing tools like paints, G4 baits, needles, and hair hanks (Any colours are good, I like to come up with inspirations from what I am given :D)

Oh, my favourite pony is Fluttershy/ Posey!
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: josiekat on May 11, 2013, 11:07:56 AM
I am torn on which pony to do. My partner has a great list! I may get around to doing two, but I have never done a G4 style eye before, so I want to make sure I do that to a level I'm satisfied with first. If I have the extra time, I'll definitely do a second.

As for extras, the only thing I can say is I can't have dark chocolate. I'm cool with most candy, and even it were something I didn't like......I have a husband and son who would gladly take it. lol. They only thing I REALLY do not like is spiders. But I don't see how that really applies to this swap. lol

I feel torn.  One of the ponies I was already working on prior to this starting is on my partners list ^^;

So you don't know whether or not to just give her that one? ;)

It's up to you, really. If you were making it for yourself, though, and you'd rather keep it, it's totally understandable. If I were in your situation, I would probably just make a different pony from the list.  ^.^

Also! I have a question for my partner:

If the pony has more than one color in their hair, how would you like me to handle it? Do you like candy stripes? Four alternating stripes? All one color with a streak?

Well, it's a good thing there's time before the deadline for me to decide lol
Depending on time I might just end up making a twin, since I'd have all the supplies on hand to do a second one

I know I personally like the look of 4 alternating stripes if the hair is evenly multi coloured, or if the hair is mostly all one colour then just a streak.  I'm not even sure what candy stripes are lol

Forgot to add I'm allergic to cherries.  o.o  So no cherry anything.  =] 

And I would love anything, but candy stripes would be cool!  I'm really good with just about anything.  =]

On the subject of allergies, I can't have peanuts, most tree nuts, or shellfish. Boo.

In regards to allergies, I can't ingest green peppers (although I'm sure that won't come into play here)
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: Argentum-Zeena on May 11, 2013, 03:30:02 PM
I have hair for one (maybe another too, I need to check) of the ponies on my partner's list, so after I get a bait Friday I'll be starting on pony #1( Two is the plan in the long run.)

For extras, I like most anything cherry flavored, gummies, and Starbursts. My favorite type of chocolate is milk, but dark is okay too (no white, please!) I'm allergic to all nuts, but if they were in something my mom would gladly take it :P Customizing supplies like paint, hair, baits etc would be cool, and I like MH and Pokemon stuff too.

I'm fine with whatever sort of hair rooting pattern you think would look best :) I've never owned one with candy stripes, though, so if you're really indecisive that'd be fine with me.

Besides the nuts mentioned above, I don't think any of my other allergies would come into play for this swap. Just to be on the safe, though, I'm also allergic to apples, kiwis, peaches, plums, pears, and cherries (for all of these fruits, it's only the fresh fruit that affects me, which is why it's fairly irrelevant.) Oh, and pollen, so please don't rub the pony with flowers :P

I'm a sucker for local things candy/food/magnets or anything else. I love gummie candy and sour stuff. Getting art too is awesome

My little girl's birthday was today, so now I can stop working on that and get back to ponies (after a good long sleep :zzz:)! Yay!

Let's see if I can remember all these questions:

1) extras - I like hard candy like peppermints or jolly ranchers, cool/cute pens, stationary/notebooks, customizing supplies, sparkly things :lol:. No allergies.

2) I'm going to plan on doing one pony and consider a second if I finish the first and have time. At the rate I've been working recently, I may struggle with one. I definitely wouldn't be disappointed if I only got one pony.

3) I don't really have a preference for the hair. You can get such different effects, they're all pretty.

4) A creative blend of the bb and the cartoon pony. I like creativity!

hmm extras? well. i'm allergic to wheat, and prefer dark to milk chocolate.
i have a wishlist post in my sig that answers alot of common swap questions.
i like citrus flavors like lemon or orange. also love red vines. hmm so good! oh and my partners favorite book or a list of books to check out (like at the library) is one of my favorites.

probably the one color with a streak style. like the old school gusty or glory from g1.
but it's totally up to my partner with how they want to handle it.

i'm a full season behind in the cartoon. so i have no idea if any that i put down have appeared or not.

Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: CottonTALE on May 12, 2013, 06:40:58 AM
I would personally like the pony to have quartered streaks if it allows for it (1/4 of the hair being one colour, then the next quarter being something different.) I'd like it to look similar to the other playful pony brushables.

Well, since I'm waiting to make the first pony, I decided to start the second pony, since I already had the perfect bait for it. Unfortunately, I had some difficulty removing the neck plug, and ended up cutting the neck a bit. I glued it back together -- that's going to be the non-display side -- and it looks better now... However, I just want to let my partner know that I'm really, really sorry about that flaw, and I hope it won't detract from the rest of the pony!

Hmm... Yeah, you're right. I'm not painting this one, so it would be too noticeable. Thanks for convincing me not to go through with it -- I have a terrible tendency to brush things off and try to rationalize them. I just bought a new one; I hope I don't mess up this time!

Yeah, you're right. :) I think a big part of the reason I was trying to salvage it was because I was like "seriously? I just bought this bait! I have to buy another one?!". I probably would have done it eventually, because it was pretty annoying, but sometimes, I just need to be told to do something in order to make the decision.

I'd be pretty upset either way. I've done the same thing a few times, but I always glue it and sand it down. Since I almost always do FBRs it doesn't make a difference. I would never leave a cut bait unpainted.

Why should a pony made in a swap be given any less effort or attention to detail that a commissioned pony, though? Any custom that is being sent to another person should be treated the same, whether it's a swap or a commission or a gift.

I think what rosierjay is saying is that, since swap ponies aren't actually paid for, a lesser quality is to be expected from them. However, I agree with you, NoD -- they require just as much time and effort and love, too. Having a swap partner disappointed is one of the worst feelings ever.

Just throwing this out there: If your ponies appeared in the cartoon, would you want the brushable to look like the cartoon version, the blind bag version, or a creative mix of the two?

I forgot to put down my answer in case my partner was curious: I wouldn't mind a mix between the show/"official" toy. Use some artistic license. :)

On the subject of hair styling, outside of show-accurate haircuts, what other hairstyles do you like, partner? I'm thinking of doing crimped/wavy hair on one of the ponies, since I've been a little obsessed with it lately, but I want to know if you're okay with it.

Me, I love pretty much every hairstyle. I love straight hair that I can play with, but I'm also very fond of waves and curls.

This is my first custom swap, but I am approaching it with the attitude of trying to do the best job that I am capable of doing.  That said, I am generally not bothered by flaws as long as they're not terribly obvious and there's still effort put behind it.

question for my partner: how do you feel about modified hair plugs and tail holes?  I mean things like adding a third row of plugs for thickness or making the tail hole larger?

I'm okay with most every hairstyle, especially since I'm not very good at it myself.  I like the softness of waves and curls, but I think it largely depends on the pony.  Go with what your heart tells you suits the pony best.

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 12, 2013, 10:59:35 AM
To be honest, I always do those things. My G4 customs always have extended tail holes, mainly because it's easier for me to put tails in them when I have more room to work with. As for a third row of plugs, I do this on every pony I make -- but for a reason. I tend to reroot very thinly due to my reroot tool's needles being too thin to put huge plugs on, and when I would only do two rows of hair, the manes would be so thin, you could actually see the bald spot between the rows.  :shocked: So, I put an extra row in the middle to make it more normal, haha.

Whenever I receive a pony, I'm happy so long as it displays well. To specify, a small nick in the paint or a little cut, stuff like that, wouldn't really bother me. I'm sure my partner can tell at what point to consider it a lost cause. When it comes to the customs I make myself, I put out my absolute best. The standards I have for my own work are extremely high, higher than those of received ponies (they should probably be the same, I know, but I'm always tougher on myself).

For hairstyles, I'd love any sort of style! Hairstyles really give the pony personality, in my opinion, so go wild with it!

Modifications are fine with me. Honestly, I think I need to start widening the tail holes of my G4s...

sorry didn't mean to create controversy. it doesn't really matter.
i don't think my partner will slack off and create something awful. but i don't expect absolute perfection either. even hasbro can't do that. which ever pony i get i'm going to love it. so i'm not that particular. just excited to see which pony my partner chooses.

hair plugs- customizer's choice. if it fits the pony go for it!

I'm really boring! I like it when they look like the official toys. You don't have to widen their tail holes or style their hair all fancy, and I'm fine with the hair in quartered segments if there're multiple colors. If you WANT to do something new or experiment, that's cool too! Just no pressure ^_^

As far as extras go, I'm not allergic to anything and there isn't really a candy in existence someone won't eat here. I even like black liquorice :P Stickers are fun too, and I like girly stuff like Disney Princesses/Fairies, Monster High, Mlp, monster trucks, Hello Kitty, rainbows and cats and hearts and stars!

I would like my pony no matter how it was made...but I think if I had to pick, it would be a creative mix of the two.  =] 

I'd be happy with any type of hair style.  I can't style hair (my own, dolls, ponies...anything) to save my life.  So any style you want to do it great with me!  Hopefully my partner doesn't mind straight hair... 

I'm good with modified hair plugs and tail holes.  /pretty laid back about pony stuff, even if there is a quirk in them

As for swap pony quality, I try to give the best quality and attention to detail I can.  I don't want someone to walk away unhappy with one of my ponies.  I'm going to grab a bait or two either today or Wednesday, and get to work on things...I'm probably going to have to do a FBR, which I'm not super excited about, but my airbrush came in and I'm practicing with it on an old Grand Champion and a g3 MLP to get used to it.  I might do a light coat or two of the paint using that, if I am pleased with the results.  If not, regular FBR it is. 

nao...no more worry about pony quality, since I am sure everyone is going to do their very best on the ponies they are making.  :cookie:

Post by: josiekat on May 13, 2013, 08:26:39 AM
I'm boring too. Since the blind bags already exist, that's how I would like my pony to look. I like the G1 block hair look. I mean if this was a swap where the artist was drawing on their own design, then I wouldn't care about how they did the hair stripes and plugs. lol. Also, as for style of hair.....I like straight hair, so no one has to worry about curling my pony's hair. lol

Also, my partner doesn't have to go through the effort of making new hair plugs and stuff unless it makes it easier for them.

As for the debate about flaws in customs. Personally, I would mind less if a swap pony came to me with certain flaws than a comissioned one. When I go into a swap, I know that there are people with more talent and experience than me, as well as people with less talent and experience than me. I think as long as the person who made the pony tried their very best, and worked as hard as they could on it, a flaw like that wouldn't bother me. Especially if I were to find out that the person was either doing their first swap, or perhaps even making their first custom. When I pay for something however, I know that I am also buy a certain level of experience that comes with the custom, and therefore the tolerance for such mistakes would be lower for me. But that's just my two cents.

So I am going to start my custom this weekend. I think I already have all the hair I need for up to two customs. But.....there is a community wide yard sale this weekend, and I want to see if I can get some cheaper baits before I go and buy some out of the store. I know I have at least one on hand, but would like to get another breed one before I start. Ya know.....just in case I decide I want to make a different one or two off the list before I get going. lol

whyyyyyy is it so stupidly humid!?  My paint is not drying properly at all *grump grump grump*  I'm on round... 4? of trying to do this FBR.

I just realized I never gave a straight answer to the extras question: I like chocolates and those little jelly belly/gourmet type jelly beans.  Not a fan of sour or licorice though.  I'm easy to please.  I could always use extra hair, but that's just because I'm a supply hoarder :D

:P I'm gone for 2 days the the board blows up!   :frolic:  I'm so glad this is going to be such a good swap!

1)  I'll probably end up making two ponies, but for now I'll focus on one :)

2) As for extras, I love hand made pony accessories.  If that's not your thing, I'm super big into fruity candies right now.  I think my baby is going to be a fruit freak!  At least he/she will be a healthy eater :D

3) I'm a huge fan of candy striping when it comes to hair.  I love the blend that it makes :)  If you're more comfortable with it, or think it will look better, quarters are ok too :)  Use your best judgement.  And for styling it, have a little fun!  Feel free to try things out if you want :)

4) Use your best judgement when it comes to style of the pony as well.  Do what you're more comfortable with and I'll be happy :)

5) Hair mods are fine with me too :)  I love super thick hair!

Now I have to decide which of my partner's ponies to bring to life...

Gosh I have been away for a bit with a job interview and what not so I have missed alot *takes a big breath* alright here we go!

If the pony has more than one color in their hair, how would you like me to handle it? Do you like candy stripes? Four alternating stripes? All one color with a streak?
Any kind of color mixing is awesome! (I myself am pretty new to re hairing so I love seeing other people's work.) That being said I am a SUCKER for stripes so thick, thin, anything, stripes rock!!

Is anyone else going to make 2 ponies or just one and extras? 
What do y'all want as extras?  Things you like, etc? 
I looked at my partners list and was like I love that pony, then realized it would not be that hard for me to do! So I chose a more challenging pony and if I get it done on time I am going to try to go back and do the easier pony as well.
As far as extra's for me, striped socks (any color), Applejack is my favorite g1/g4 pony, hairing needles/hiaring tool (I made my own but it breaks all the time so its a bit of a pain!!) uhhh I dunno really, stickers, anything really, The few swaps I've done I try to theme my little extras to compliment the pony itself.

Just throwing this out there: If your ponies appeared in the cartoon, would you want the brushable to look like the cartoon version, the blind bag version, or a creative mix of the two?
I think if the pony appears in the show it would be awesome to have the brushable look like the show rather than the blindbag hair (seeming how the show is more unique to that pony where as the blind bags are the main 6 + 1 boy repainted. That being said I do not want to limit my partner in anyway so do what you feel looks good!

Having a swap partner disappointed is one of the worst feelings ever.
A lesser quality should never be expected from a swap pony. Personally, I always try to keep the same standard, be it for a commission, a swap, or a sales piece. Anything else would be wrong.
I've never sold a custom but I try my best to make sure that a pony going to my partner in a swap is as best as I can make it. That being said when I make customs for myself i tend to let small flaws slip by, but I want my partner to be happy!

On the subject of hair styling, outside of show-accurate haircuts, what other hairstyles do you like, partner? I'm thinking of doing crimped/wavy hair on one of the ponies, since I've been a little obsessed with it lately, but I want to know if you're okay with it.

I've had to work super fast because this week in the only time I'll get to do any custom work sadly.
Yay work.
Yay adult responsibilities. -_-;

I had hoped to make a second pony but it will have to wait and see if I get enough time spare.

Also in regards to hair styling, would you rather your pony be styled as the BB is or simply left straight (or single curled as per the brushables usual style)?

question for my partner. did you write you list in order that you would most like to receive or just any order?
answer- i did write in order of my favorites. but i didn't chose any that i don't like or would love to have.

i'm about to order all my hair. so knowing this would help me make my final decision of which one to do.

Post by: Ren-Ren on May 14, 2013, 11:08:09 PM
Finally, I'm getting around to posting my answers, heh.

Multiple Ponies: I already had materials on hand perfect for three of the ponies on my partner's list, but I don't know how many I'll end up making. If I have time left after finishing one then I might do another. Probably won't do all three, but you never know.   

Extras: Honestly, I don't really want any... I don't have space for trinkets (so they'll most likely be thrown away or re-gifted) and I'm trying to stay away from candy (especially stuff with high fructose corn syrup). So I don't know what would be left, heh. I do like coconut, and my previous swap partner did pretty good with that to go on. But really, extras are not necessary. Also, definitely no coffee.

Rehairing: I would prefer my pony to resemble the blind bag as much as possible, so whatever type of stripes are consistent with that works for me. If she exists in the show you can use that version's scheme instead, if you'd like.  Extra hair plugs are fine. A thicker tail is okay, but not TOO thick.

Hair Style: Whatever styling you want to do is fine with me.

Order: My list wasn't really ordered in terms of favorites. In most cases I was just going down the list at Strawberry Reef, heh.

------------------

I won't be starting on my pony until June as I have a private swap to finish first.

Ok, I've narrowed down the list to 3 ponies. Now I need to track down these blind bags, then I'll start painting.

As for the other stuff, I did not list the ponies in any particular order. Extras are nice, but not expected. I'd rather receive a pony that someone put a lot of effort into. That is, a or at least should be, the focus of the swap.

I do not think I put mine in any list either, and as I said whatever ya'll wanna do with hair is fine by me!!

Now I have a question for everyone, lets say your partner was making your pony, stripped a bait, full body repainted with 8 coats to get it perfect, got the eyes and cute mark done, sealed, was so so proud, got the right hair color, re haired the pony, broke 4 needles in the process, and but when the pony was done thought it was totally worth it because its perfect.....

until the head reattachment.... somehow the neck has stretched enough to not fit the plug anymore. D: So I thought about gluing it however I don't want to do that in case my partner doesn't like it.

So my question is, how important is it that the head is movable on the pony? Should I glue it on or start over again on a new pony?
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 15, 2013, 10:39:25 AM
I don't care if the head can't move. I can't get the head to move even when I do use the neckplug. Just as long as the head is reattached nicely, I'm fine. :)

My list wasn't in any sort of order either, I just kind of put them down as I narrowed down my large list of likes :P 

I also don't mind if the pony's head doesn't turn, but I'm thinking a slight head turn before gluing would make it uber cute ^-^  Rather than have the pony looking straight forward with the body.

Yes, I agree. I like to put their heads on at a slight angle -- not staring straight at you, but not looking straight ahead, either.

slight mismatch hair is good for me. I realize pony hair colors can be super hard to match perfectly sometimes. As for you guys I'm with you on the heads being slightly turned. What about everyone else? To glue, not to glue and just re-do?

Personally I never glue heads on. Off rather redo it. However, I don't mind if my partner glues it on, but in that case I'd prefer if it's turned a bit.

I'm not picky about hair either. Just match it as close as possible. If anyone is looking for any particular color, let me know. I have hundreds of hanks of hair.

I understand if things happen and the head has to be glued, as long as it's got a bit of an angle to it so it displays nice.  And a note maybe perhaps because I know when I was showing one of my head fixed in place customs to someone she started yanking to try and twist it! :O  I know you folks know to be gentle but still.

I'd like the hair colour to be as close as you can manage, but don't stress yourself out over it.

Question: I don't have the blindbag pony that I'm doing the brushable of, so I'm working from pictures... I'm trying my best but it may end up not being a 100% colour match, is that okay?

I honestly don't care if the hair isn't an exact match. As long as it looks close. Also, the head being glued doesn't bother me. Although, I don't know if the head being loose would bother me much either. I'm pretty easy to please . :)

Post by: rosierjay on May 15, 2013, 11:50:39 AM
slight turn is cool. and yeah i don't mind if it's glued. (though i have several ponies that i never clued down in my personal collection. i forget and heads go a rolling XD)
i don't mind mismatched colors as long as you can tell which pony it is, i'm cool. so no green for pinkie pie, but any pink would be fine (example)

0.0! magic cheescake appeared on my post telling me its my birthday!!! how awesome!

So my question is, how important is it that the head is movable on the pony? Should I glue it on or start over again on a new pony?

Actually, I would prefer to receive the pony "as-is" with the loose head rather than you gluing it on. Then, if I feel gluing is necessary, I can glue it on exactly how I want it to be, heh. I display my ponies with their heads turned at a very steep angle. And I'd also like to choose the display side on my own to fit with the needs of my pony shelf (assuming the cutie mark is on both sides). 

Thanks for asking rather than just gluing it! Most of the customs I've received from swaps have had their heads glued on ^^; It's fine, but always slightly disappointing.

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 15, 2013, 12:28:02 PM
Happy birthday rosierjay! :)

And, about the hair, again, it's fine. I'm actually working from pictures online as well. As for cutie marks, I don't mind if it's only on one side, if that makes it easier for you. I'm probably only going to paint on one side myself...

I prefer both sides, but it's not a huge deal one way or the other.
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: PaintedHooves on May 15, 2013, 12:40:32 PM
I also prefer both sides, but if she isn't cooperating one side is perfectly fine :)

oh wow I'm behind in questions...

extras- I'm good with anything that's not grape flavor

Hair- I like straw curls best but normal straight is fine, if you wanna get creative with the hair and do a sorta 'perfume puff' look that's cool too

Cutie mark- just one side is fine, it's a G4 so that's kinda what I expect

head- I'd rather have the head moveable then just glued on

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 15, 2013, 02:15:14 PM
Damn it -- I just finished painting the pony, and then realized that the color is too dark to be a match. Ugh -- guess I'll have to try again. >.<
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: CarnationTwirl on May 15, 2013, 02:24:14 PM
If you find you can only do one side that's fine.  I personally am going to be doing symbols on both sides, since that is how I roll.

to answer my own question about base colours: it's okay for it to be too light or too dark as long as the hue is in the right general area.  I trust your judgement in colour theory :)
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: rosierjay on May 15, 2013, 02:34:07 PM
if i can get them to match exactly i put them on both sides. when i do oc or original customs both of the cutie marks are different. ( like a rose. bud and in bloom etc)
but i'm cool with one side.

thank you Panda!!

Happy birthday rosierjay :)

To answer the latest questions...

My list was in no particular order, I'd love any of them!

I don't mind if the pony is show accurate or bb accurate, either is fine.

Don't worry too much about color matching the hair, so long as it's fairly close I'll be happy.

If you need to glue the head feel free to do so! I know how tricky G4 heads can be. Like others, all I ask for is a slight angle maybe.

I'm fine with double or a single cutie mark.

I think that's all of the questions. A little random tidbit: if you'd like to do perfume puff hair, partner, that's cool with me too :) I've never actually owned a pony with mohair or brushed out yarn, just one doll.

Happy B-Day Rosierjay!

To answer some questions:

-I don't mind if the head has to be glued on, just add a little note in when you ship her so I don't go twistin' her head. Also, a slight tilt to the head would be greatly appreciated.

-It doesn't matter to me if you do one or two symbols, just do what you feel is most comfortable to do :)

-Slight colour mismatches are fine with me, as long as you tried to make it as close as you can. That's all that matters to me. I'd also prefer to have regular nylon hair as opposed to perfume puff or mohair.

-in regards to online pictures as references, I don't mind at all if you use them :) I have no choice but to use them because of my lacking blind bag collection  :blush:

I don't mind if the head isn't moveable, just as long as it doesn't fall off. :)

Also the symbol can be on just one side and hair colors as close as you can.

Wow this thread is going fast!

My list is in no particular order. A near match on hair and color is fine. A glued head is fine, with a slight angle. I haven't actually managed to get one of my G4's taken apart without destroying the neck plug yet, but I have a new plan for this one, so here's hoping! I like marks on both sides but one is ok too. Basically, I'm very easy to please!

all the priming is done, and two ponies are getting their color today. (when mixing i don't like to color them till i have the hair. so i can do it all in one day... don't want to try an match it later.)

Post by: UrocyonFox on May 18, 2013, 10:36:01 AM
another question!!! How does everyone feel about the ponies in boxes? Like what if your partner was going to make a custom box that similar to the ones that the pony comes in when you buy them at the store? The back card, the art, the whole set up, how do you feel about that? Would you just want the pony itself or would you actually be excited about it coming in a custom display box? (I don't want to make the custom box and then find out my partner doesn't like boxes and wants to display their pony not in a box, even if it is a custom box.

Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: rosierjay on May 18, 2013, 10:38:00 AM
I think it's a cool idea, but i would probably display the box separate.
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: hannaliten on May 18, 2013, 10:39:44 AM
I wouldn't want a box.

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 18, 2013, 10:40:25 AM
Custom boxes are cool, but they're not really my thing. I simply cannot keep things mint, and I'd want to display the pony with the rest of my collection.

Post by: LeighAnnApanites on May 18, 2013, 01:53:38 PM
A custom box sounds like a super cool and creative thing, but for storage space and pony play reasons, I wouldn't want a box. A back card/story art piece without a whole box would be cool.
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: CarnationTwirl on May 18, 2013, 02:26:44 PM
A back card would be an okay option if my partner chooses to make one, but an entire box would be hard to display.

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 18, 2013, 03:56:29 PM
Pony #1... Yeah, no. It looks okay, but the paint job could be a lot better, since I'm terrible at painting those kinds of colors. I'm scrapping this one.

As for Pony #2... I got the new bait today. I was really nervous about beheading it because, what if I mess up getting the neck plug out again, and slit the neck again, and then have to buy ANOTHER one? Well... That ended up not being a problem, because whenever I pulled the pony's head off, the entire plug came out -- completely clean, too!  :shocked: I guess I got lucky this time, but it was really really weird.

I love the idea of custom boxes, but I know that Hasbro really isn't a fan of them and it can get the artist in a lot of trouble.  So even for those reason's alone I wouldn't want you to risk it Toaster.  Thank you though, I'm sure it would turn out lovely :)  I'm also the kind of person who loves the idea of displaying ponies in their boxes and keeping them all minty, but I can never keep them in their box! Must touch and play with hair!! :P  I think the only pony I've really resisted the urge with is my FS AJ... and those reasons are obvious!

Post by: TexasGal on May 18, 2013, 07:51:03 PM
O.o  Dear Lord.  This is what I get for being out for a few days...  Ok, going back to answer all the questions:

Cutie Marks:  I would LOVE to have them on both sides, but it is definitely not a must. 

Order of ponies:  they are from my most loved to still most loved but not quite as much as the first ones.

Custom display box:  That would be cool, but I wouldn't keep the pony in the box.  If you want to do just the backcard, I'm cool with that, as I do keep those. 

Picture vs actual BB matching:  It's fine if they aren't exact.  I know how it goes with that, and I'm really easy going.

Hair color match:  again, doesn't have to be exact.  I'm easy about it, LOL!  I just love getting customs, so that is my big thing.

Turning head or glued down:  I would rather the head be able to turn, if possible, but if not, glue it on at a slight angle, or send it to me, head and body separate and I can decide how it'll best be displayed (my small shelf is running out of room and might need new pony angles, LOL!)

Hair style:  I would like to see it with the curl of the regular brushables if possible...but straight is cool too! 


Now for my check in bit:  Decided to do two, got one body started on painting, and got the other one prepped last night.  Will be painting up a storm tomorrow, so hopefully will have at least the base coats completely done by tomorrow night.  Will be painting in the evenings when I get home from work the rest of the week.  Have some hair to order, but I might just hit hannaliten up for a purchase.  xD 


QUESTION:  I want to know some of your favorite colors guys, and other things you might like, so i know what to grab for extras, or whatnot.  Also, would anyone be interested in getting a BB, like an alternate color of one of the ponies they like (like Pinkie Pie in all Blues, for example)?  just in case I'm having to wait on paint layers to dry or I have enough time at the end.  And I'm not saying it's a definite inclusion on my part, just a possibility.

I like reds and metallics. Alternate color BBs are a great idea.
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: rosierjay on May 18, 2013, 09:36:05 PM
alternate color bb's sound fun.

i have a question.
for those of you that have boys or other "non- standard" ponies on your list.
do they need to be sculpted or be done from a different cast? example prince charming etc.

answer to that question.
i'm cool with the guys or other ponies not be sculpted and just being represented if they were a brushable.
i'm horrible at sculpting. DX
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: hannaliten on May 18, 2013, 09:39:12 PM
I'd like boys to be made from shining armor or sculpted.

Post by: rosierjay on May 19, 2013, 12:21:33 AM
finished first pony only to realize i've done the wrong one. Dx
guess i'll try to sell it after the swap.

sorry forgot to answer the color question.
i like oranges and reds.
especially when they area coupled with a semi contrary color.
like true orange and lime green.  or rust orangish red and teal.

Post by: Rainbowjuice on May 19, 2013, 01:39:37 AM
I like to be able to touch and play with my ponies but doing a version of the backcards would be fun :)

Also aside from finishing rerooting and hair styling I think my pony is done.

Post by: Argentum-Zeena on May 19, 2013, 01:44:46 AM
I've been delayed in getting the ponies... Hopefully, I'll be able to get them this Friday. Thankfully I have the hair and paint already :)

To answer the last few questions...
While I think a custom box would be cool, I don't really have the space :/ I do have room for something like just the backcard, though (I loove backcards!)
A couple of my favorite colors are reds, purples, and black, and alternate bb's sound cool.
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 19, 2013, 04:43:14 AM
I love all colors, but my favorites are pink, blue, and yellow. Alternate color blind bags sound awesome, especially if you paint the hair on one of the glittery blind bags. :3
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: UrocyonFox on May 19, 2013, 08:31:19 AM
re colors are awesome. :3 although my favorite color is gray so i'm sot sure how well that would work. Then black and white stripes, and then rainbow. ha ha gah my color choices would not do well on blind bags! (Although I do have an AJ army starting so gosh, ANY recoloring of her could be awesome, like nirvanas and such? *swoon* yeah in that case recolors of her would be awesome!!)

As for any non traditional ponies, I like to leave it to the artist! I am ok with all three options, shining armor base, sculpted onto a regular brushable, or even just coloring a bushable. Whatever my partner is most comfortable doing.  As it was stated before I go into swaps with an open mind to just about everything because I understand that everyone has different experiences so I leave it pretty open!

As far as progress, my first pony is done! :D and she's adorable I might add!!!

Post by: josiekat on May 19, 2013, 09:16:26 AM
If my partner wants to go all out and make a custom box, I would love it as all of my G4's are still MIB. Though it definitely is not necessary at all. As for an alternate color BB....I think that would be neat. The only color I don't really like is pink, but for something like that, I would definitely leave that to the artist....kind of like dealers choice. lol

Post by: LeighAnnApanites on May 19, 2013, 11:20:17 AM
Colors, I like blues, greens, cool colors with maybe a little yellow or red. An alt colored bb would be neat, but not necessary.

I'm totally ok with boy ponies done on regular brushable bases, it doesn't have to be on a boy bait or be sculpted.

Question: For those ponies that are available in glittery and non-glittery versions, which is your preference? Do you have strong pro- or anti- feelings about glitter? (I would not send out a pony that shed glitter, if that's the concern.)
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 19, 2013, 11:23:04 AM
Oh, I forgot to answer about boy ponies! To be honest, I do prefer a sculpted bait on any boys -- especially the one that was on my list. I think it would look a little strange with a regular bait, hehe. ^^;

As for glittery vs non-glittery, I do like the non-glittery variations better because they have an actual hair color. Besides that, though, feel free to go crazy with the glitter!

Post by: CarnationTwirl on May 19, 2013, 11:53:22 AM
I don't think any pony I chose came in a glitter version.  I'm not the biggest glitter fan, but it doesn't bother me either.

I finally got a nice day, and even with the extra work because of the past humidity I feel like I'm back on schedule!  If I keep going at this rate I think I'll be done well before the first check in!

Post by: Rainbowjuice on May 19, 2013, 01:13:07 PM
I despise glitter!!
-flips table and stalks off-

HA no.
I'm not the biggest glitter fan but if it's done so it cannot possibly come off onto my hands then I'm fine with it.
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: PaintedHooves on May 19, 2013, 02:19:24 PM
My favorite color combination is purple, dark blue, and silver... All spacey colors, but I'm not a huge fan of space...  :shrug: :P

As far as glitter goes, I think it's pretty as long as it isn't overdone.  I picked all opaque ponies for my list as well because even though I like the translucent glittery ponies, they need different hair colors...  They're too plain Jane being solid like that :\  If any of mine have a glitter double, feel free to use glitter though :)  I've gotten customs in the past that had glitter on them and I love them :D

I don't mind glitter as long as it's like...glitter paint.  That doesn't come off as easy, but I'm good with whatever you want to do, dear partner!


Answer to my question:  love alternate BBs!

Non traditional ponies:  Seeing as I do not have a Shining Armor mold yet (getting one eventually) I would love one in his pose, but I'm good with any pose at all.  =]  Sculpting is not needed!
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Partners sent; working!
Post by: CarnationTwirl on May 19, 2013, 03:34:14 PM
an alternate version BB would be neat to have, but not something that I'd absolutely insist on having.  Better than half of the ponies I selected I don't own at all ^^;

I'd be fine with only getting one pony, since that's what this swap is about.  Extras are nice, but they're called extras for a reason.  That said, there's still loads of time before the deadline :D (Not that I advocate procrastination.)

Auuugh I wish this pony wasn't turning out so well.  My heart's already breaking at the thought of letting it go!!! lmao maybe I've jinxed it by saying this now.

Time to answer some more questions.

Mold wise: I don't care if you sculpt or use a Shining Armor/Princess mold. As long as you can tell with their eyes, I'm good!

Glitter: If it was originally a glitter pony but then was re-released as normal colored one, I don't mind if you gave it a sealed coat of glitter.

not a big fan of all over glitter, but a glittery symbol is really cool. (do this alot myself)
especially if you use glitter paint.

got my bait today, should have something done by the week end

whats this about extras?  ive been out of the loop lol

depending on how things go might only do one pony.
but ill chuck in some extra bits and bobs where i can.

to my partner,  if you are out side of australia and plan on sending extras, PLASE NO CANDY OR CHOCOLATE
australian customs are strict about importing food stuffs. and id rather not take the risk of parcles beeing caught up in customs in the first place.

if you are in australia then cand is fine as its only local mail,  but definatly dont send me candy if its  internatinal mail.


to the custom it self

im actuly not that fussy as far as  hair colour or styling gose , just as long as you put your best into it.

i would like the head to be able to still turn  *i try to make all my fim customs like this* 
but if not, that cool too.

I despise glitter!!
-flips table and stalks off-

HA no.
I'm not the biggest glitter fan but if it's done so it cannot possibly come off onto my hands then I'm fine with it.

ha ha I am in the same boat. I think a bit of the ponies I chose have glittery versions but I think I specified that the one I was trying to list was the non glittery version. That being said, I think getting the same pony done glittery brushable and non glittery brushable would be pretty neat, but maybe a different swap? (Like a both blind bag version swap? oooo)

Ah I ramble, back to the topic
I usually am not really into glitter though and Mr. Toaster HATES it.  (he almost banished the blind bag wave 4s in our house!) He hates glitter, and somehow always gets some on him somewhere so ehhh glitter for me not really a fan. I don't mind it but in the case of brushables from blindbags nonglittery ones please!

I love glitter, though I don't like the way Hasbro leaves huge gaping holes in the glitter around the eyes of PP, Wysteria and most of the sparkly blind bags. But I doubt that would be a problem here since I assume you won't be applying glitter using an automated machine, heh heh.

Sorry if I missed any other questions--i've been gone for several days and trying to catch up on this and other threads in the forum.

I shall be picking up the paints today hopefully. The geek store (as I like to call it) called me and said that the paints I ordered were in. They sell Blind Bags, Comics, Citadel Paints, Brushes, Action Figures and a whole bunch of other awesome stuffs. I am trying to convince them to start selling the Funko Vynil ponies since they already sell Funko products. Plus the nearest Funko ponies are an hour and 45 minutes away :/

Yay Canada for having only 3 Hot Topics in the entirety of the bleedin' country  >_<

Extras for baits - I would love any you could give me!  I am always starting new ponies and always need more.  =D  So gimme whatcha want!

Check in for me:  got two bodies painted, will be getting another bait or two as I have all the hair needed for all of my partner's ponies.  o.o  So that makes it ten times easier on me.  Will be finishing up symbols and eyes tonight, and hopefully rehairing tomorrow on both of them.  Might be able to get the other ponies started this next week.  xD

as for baits as extras. sure. sounds fun.
the only gen i have a stock pile of right now is g4. and i'm going through most of them right now. XD
g2 baits would be really fun!(only have one g2)  but i know they can be harder to find and sometime expensive.

I've gotten a pony, and will be getting started on Tuesday~ I'm going to just do this one first, and if I have time I'll go for the second.

I don't think any of my ponies had glitter, but if you want to make their symbol glittery I wouldn't mind.

In response to baits as extras, I would love that :) My favorite generations for customs are 1 and 4, and although I've never worked with one a G2 would be fine too! I like any generation's Mcponies and pony type/pose doesn't matter.
I think I love getting baits almost as much as regular ponies :P

Baits, or any customizing supplies really, would be awesome. I'm up for any gen or style.

Just have eye details and rehairing left. Yay!

Question: So, a pony I've been working on as a secondary/extra pony for this swap has small but noticeable flaws in the sculpting that I tried for the first time. Everything else is going well, it's a cute pony and should display well, but if it was meant to be the main pony for the swap it's quality is not up to what I would be willing to send to my partner. However, I don't have much interest for it in my collection, and I don't think I can undo the mistakes I made to do something different with it in the future.

So, partner, in the interest of not wasting what is really a cute, sweet pony, would you like to receive a pony with flaws as an extra? (On my honor, it has just as much love and care put into it as the other, it's just my skill that is currently lacking. Also, it's probably not as bad as I've made it sound, I'm just such a perfectionist...)

Quick little update for me :)  Both baits are prepped and I should be starting on their FBR this week (if hubby doesn't monopolize my time :P  he's getting surgery for his ACL). 

As for baits as extras, I would love some!  I really love customizing G4s, but I'm running low on G3s.  Can't stand G3.5s, but G1s and G2s are good as well.  So if you have extras just kicking around I definitely wouldn't mind them :)

I'm also completely ok with getting an imperfect pony as an extra, especially since it was something new that you tried.  I can't keep my less than perfect experiments around either, but that doesn't have to mean they have to be unloved!

question. ok so i know alot of others are only making one pony. which it totally cool.
i was curious. if i'm having trouble thinking of extras. can i have an extra custom as my extras?
not sure if that ok. probably still have other little treasures. but i usually spend a little more on extras.
just wondering. extra custom ponies? or extra semi-random stuff?
(will be some semi-random either way)

really hope i asked that question right....

That's a good idea...if I am able to complete all five ponies, I won't be sending much in extras (sorry partner, but I think the ponies will make up for it), but I am always game for fun, funky, random extras in my box.  Like I said before, I'd even like semi flawed customs as they have character and I'm mushy about no pony being unloved.  xD  That being said, I am not sending a semi flawed custom if I can at all help it.  I'm still beating myself up over a pony that had paint issues that I managed to fix.  /ocd

D: Poor spiders getting no love! :3 I have a pet tarantula and I actually LOVE spiders. hee hee

I think if you get more than one pony that less extras are to be expected! (I can't see anyone here opening their box and saying "awww man all I got are these ponies, no extras...") that being said I don't thank anyone should rush out to get tons of extras causes they only made one pony, I'm in it for the PONY the extras are just little bonuses.

I'm right there with ya'll as far as having a soft spot for flawed ponies, I can't stand the thought of any being unloved.

I'm so worried about guessing who my partner is and who they're making cause I don't want t ruin the surprise!

not sure if this got asked or answered yet.
do you have pets, and if yes, would your pet like a treat or toy as well?

personally i would love my extras to be small dog toys or biscuits or things like that.
we have a small dog who is the sunshine of my everyday. so spoiling her is more fun than spoiling myself. (just so you know. any small plush that doesn't have any beanies and has sewn on eyes usually end up with my puppy. mostly stolen... so i give up trying to keep them. mcdonalds. hotel for dogs toys are the best)

um and yeah.. no spiders for me. we have a healthy respect for each other... that's about it.

making an addition to my previous statement. biscuits and greenies are best. chewy treats and rawhides... well she doesn't get them often. plus most biscuits don't go bad. so when she hides them we don't find weird smells around the house.

This is my first custom swap too  :blush: so you aren't alone in that regard. I'd say as long as you fulfill the original requirements of the swap (1 custom pony and a few extras) then you are fine, Anything else above that is entirely up to you.

I'm sure your partner will be happy, regardless of any extra frills and fancies :) I know for me that I am thankful for whatever I receive from anyone because it shows that they put love into what they did and they took the time to try and make me happy. it just gives me the warm-fuzzies on the inside  ^.^

Oh, and to answer some questions people have asked:

Flawed pony as an extra - I don't mind flawed ponies at all. It still shows love in them :)

Custom pony as an extra - If you are up for it, that's awesome! just pm Pandaberry if you have any specific questions you wish to ask me.

Pets? - I have 3 Leopard Geckoes. Two girls named Tuck and Roll (from A Bugs Life :P) and one boy named Toki. There's not much that can be gotten for them since they don't really play with toys and stuff.

Another pony rather than extras is fine with me. Like others have said, the pony is the focus of the swap, and extras are just that--extras :)

I have a cat, named Star. If you do send something for him as an extra, all I ask is please no catnip. For whatever reason, he gets mean when around the stuff (alongside the usual drooling and rubbing) :S

I'm cool with another pony instead of extras. :)

As for pets, sure, but I should warn you, I have two dogs and three cats, so if you include pet stuff, be sure to include a lot! XD

I have a cat, her name is Marble (aka Princess Smelly Bum Stink Bottom) and she's on a diet.  She enjoys toys with honeysuckle in them, but ignores catnip.  She's not much of a toy kitty, she'd rather play with the crumpled receipts :3

My fur baby is my dog Patch (will have to get a pic sometime soon) but he lives with my parents since I can't keep him at the apartment.  He wouldn't have enough room and refuses to stop marking territory, LOL! 

Was going to reroot my ponies last night but messed up a bit of paint, so going to fix that tomorrow evening and try to be done rehairing both ponies this weekend.  Should be easily done.  Will have to see how it goes after that as to whether or not I make more now...money is a bit tight the next few weeks and I need to save up for a new computer eventually.  >.<

Oops, almost forgot to answer the pet question. I've got two small dogs and a cat, all of whom are terribly spoiled already, but are always happy to be spoiled more. Kitty is particularly fond of dangly things, one of the dogs has a ball obsession, and the other one pretty much just sleeps.

Hubby finally got paid so I can order hair now :)

anny: my baits are horrible for repelling paint too!!  I've never had this many issues with a base coat before :(

As for pets, I have a German Shepherd puppy and three kitties :)  No sensitivities or diet issues but I'm sure my puppy would appreciate the treats more-so than the cats would (they take delight in chasing each other rather than toys).

And for tinsel, I don't mind it as long as it isn't too over the top. I like to be able to brush my pony's hair without ripping out all the tinsel because it's too thick.  That being said, no tinsel is ok too :)

I'm working on the body right now, and later on I should be getting to the eyes and cutie mark. Before I start on those, however...

Partner, would you like the eyes to be toy accurate, or would you want them to have a personal touch?
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- Working; First Check-In June 7!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on June 01, 2013, 08:15:52 AM
Sorry I haven't been on this thread lately; my boyfriend fell ill with appendicitis, and we only just came back from the hospital yesterday.  :cry: I'm very busy taking care of him.

Anyway, regarding tinsel, I actually do like it, so if you feel that tinsel would add something to the custom, particularly if you're making the sparkly variants, go right ahead!

As for eyes, toy-accurate or personal touch doesn't matter to me; do whatever you feel comfortable with. :)

Eyes can be either, whatever works best for your style and the pony.

as far as eyes go. i usually try for factory myself, but i'm all up for personal styles too.
even using a like an applejack style eye on a pegasus. or whatnot. they don't need to match the bb.

Gosh! I was out of town with no internet this week for a friend's wedding so I've missed alot! Here are my answers to some of the questions I saw.

not sure if this got asked or answered yet.
do you have pets, and if yes, would your pet like a treat or toy as well?

Most of my pets don't really take treats (snakes, turtles, lizards, tarantula, fish, and a picky ferret, really what ferret doesn't do treats) my hedge hog is ok with meal worms as treats but those don't mail well!! My dog on the other hand eats everything and anything. He's a giant orange colored mutt! (maybe some pit, and lab and other stuff, he's a pound puppy rescued for lovin)
So I guess treats for my dog Jet are ok, the oly thing I've noticed he doesn't care for is the raw hide sheets, dunno why...

" how dose every pony feel about coloured tinsle / foil in the hair?  "

I would like to leave that to my partner, I'm not crazy about it but I do not despise it either, therefor, partner do what you like!

Partner, would you like the eyes to be toy accurate, or would you want them to have a personal touch?

This question makes me smile, since this is a custom swap I would loooove to see what my partner comes up with, weather its my partner doing everything in their power to make it exactly toy/show accurate, or weather they want to add a few things that they feel makes it better, either way as long as my partner tries their best I'll love it.

As far as my progress goes I have finished 100% one pony and almost done with my second. I will only be doing two ponies, however I will say I'm so so so proud of them. :D

Have fun jwalraven!

I was trying to finish the pony last night and I would have done, except the hair I was going to use for the accent color turned out to be the wrong color. I about freaked out because I do NOT want to buy a whole hank of hair for like 12 plugs. Or wait for it. I did have the right color, but it was in a different kind of hair. Grrrr . . . Fortunately, I finally found in my stash the main color I needed in the same kind of hair as the accent color, so freak out averted. But I'm still annoyed that I didn't finish last night. And the other pony is just giving me fits all around.

And yet, this is still so enormously fun! Yay ponies!

My hair order should be on it's way now. I ordered it before I left, so it should be here relatively soon (hopefully) and I'm off today to ship off my end of a trade and scope out the Target and Toys "R" Us for some new ponies :D

I got a Fashion Style Pinkie Pie (non-gem eye) I found this weekend and she's now up with the other FS ponies. I also found a G3 Tink-a-Tink-a-Too plushie at a yard sale! she will be up on my trades section soon.

All I have left is hairing and reassembly. One of them has been painted so thoroughly that I can't even see the hair holes, so that will be interesting. The next time I get a chance to work on them I should at least finish one. The one that's going well, I'm pleased with, the other one, I'm a battle of wills with, and it is mocking me.

In terms of extras, I like any candy by Wonka and Lemonheads. If you are curious as to what Mr.TALE likes, his favourite candy is Lindt's chilli chocolate bars (he likes spicy things, I like sweet.) Other than that, I like anything G4 Fluttershy and I like getting customizing supplies like hair, paints, and G4 baits. I also like embroidery supplies too like aida (the stiff sheets used for cross-stitching) and embroidery flosses.

I'm not too picky about extras, so feel free to send as little or as much as you want to. I'll still love it regardless :)

Both ponies are fully painted and sealed and one of them is fully rehaired.  All she needs is her neck plug glued back in and I'll have my main girl all done :)  My second girl just needs her hair (which should be arriving soon) and she'll be finished too :)

Post by: UrocyonFox on June 09, 2013, 11:34:40 AM
I was worried I was not going to be around for check in date so I sent them early!

As far as extras for me, i'm pretty picky with chocolate candies, and with how hot it gets here is the swamps I'd be worried about melt-age. I do like peppermints, candy canes, peppermint sticks (They're also cute in general, red and white stripes? come one whats not to love?) I do like sour candies though so thats cool!

Stickers are cute, can't go wrong with them or ANYTHING pony related.

I like art, if anyone draws, ATCs are always cute.

uhhh other than that I like fox, snakes, turtles, rats, spiders, ferrets, skunks, hedgehogs, stars, socks, stripes, anime (sailor moon, loveless, elfen lied, fruits basket, trigun, hellsing, pokemon - only the first 150), any hair hank colors, hairing tools/needles and stuff like that. ( just listing random stuff I like if case my partner is interested)

If anyone else is like me they have stuff they've bought laying around, and turns out someone they're trading with likes that, it money you can save instead of buying stuff.... does that make sense or am I rambling?
Like I did a trade with a girl and turns out she loved lilo and stitch, as it turns out I HAD lilo and stitch buttons just laying around the house so I got to send those to her and she loved them!

Man, my check in was so sad. I wrecked my first pony, and had to start over. This is my first time making a custom out of a G4, so man....what a learning experience. But, I think it will go quickly and smoothly with this pony, since I know where I went wrong before. The wrecked pony will just become a personal custom of some kind. But, I think by this weekend, she will be all done. Which is good, because I think I'll still have time to make a second one. :)

It's good to hear that everyone is getting on smoothly with their custom pony endeavors! I'm still waiting on the mail to come in because I did a trade with someone and ordered the required hair from Dollyhair... First time ordering hair hanks online! new experience point  :P

Quick question: how long does it normally take for Dollyhair to ship? I've seen some mixed reviews of the shop on the arena and i'm not sure what to believe.

as far as extras, my "swaps want list" in my sig has details about most things.

if i get stickers they go to my niece.
which she loves.
dog biscuits and toys for our puppy beckett is the #1 extra in my mind. (i love my dog alot)
lowe's has biscuits for 99cents
chocolates ok, but i'm trying to loose weight.
no matter what i get i know i can share it with my niece too. she's my pony cohort. :)

I will admit, Dollyhair can sometimes be pretty slow, even within the US. ^^;

Retro Dolls Us is a good alternative. My Dollyhair shipments have been kinda odd, my first order was at my house in a week but my second one took three times that long and the the third was only two weeks...so it kinda depends on how busy she is I guess

Hmmm, that's mildy disconcerting  :| maybe I should have gone with an alternative hair source... I'll give her another few days as a benefit of the doubt. I ordered it on May 30th and I know Canada Post can be a little slow sometimes.

Pony is all done! Despite a few bumps along the way, she came out well :) This weekend I'll be getting the extras.

In response to the extras question, I like gummies, starbursts (especially the reds and pinks!), and most anything cherry flavored. Customizing supplies, stickers, and really anything you find interesting would be appreciated :) I think I may have written an extras post a bit earlier in the thread, but I'm not sure, in case you want to check that out.

extras question-
do you have the blind bag of the pony(ies) you listed? or would it be fun to get the blind bag as an extra?

oops. forgot to answer my own question.
i think i own all the bb for the ones on my list, but an extra would be awesome.
then my niece will stop eyeballing all my bbs. XD

Though I already have all of the ones on my list but one (the non-sparkly version of Electric Sky), I think the corresponding blind bag as an extra would be fun.

I'm pretty sure I own all of the ones I listed, but only the glittery version for the ones that are glittery. I wouldn't mind getting an extra of any of them, or even the non-glittery version of those that are. Really, like josiekat said, I'll love whatever shows up. Everyone here is so creative and thoughtful, I know it'll be great.

I can't remember who all I asked for, but I think I have them. Honestly, I would love to have extras, so that is no biggie to me.  I also would love anything for extras.  I love to bead, so beads or charms or trinkets of any kind are great, customizing supplies, hair, baits, etc.  Like I said, I love anything cute, cuddly, fun, anything like that.  I love to draw as well, so anything from coloring books to colored pencils or journals and I'm happy. 

I can't remember if I said any of that already or not.  xD

There we go! the body is officially finished with a nice long tail and I shall be working on rehairing the head tomorrow when I get back from shopping for extras for my partner and for another private swap :D

I'm definitely taking this swap as a learning experience... I now know that taking the neck plug entiely is a must when dealing with zip-ties and there is a chance of snapping your sealed paint when trying to bend back the neck plug to put in said-tail.

Me too! I just ruined her hair because I didn't realize the glue would melt if I put the head in boiling water to get the neck plug back in. Among many, many other lessons I'm learning . . .  >_<

to get my heads back on i usually hold them in front of a stove. (electric is best)
close enough to feel it, far enough to not be hot for me.
when it gets softer i put the plug back in using a pair of pliers and then glue the plug back on.

all of my first customs were g4. so it was so weird when i did a g1 one... i was like... why is there so much space. holy moly look how easy the head went back. XD

In the meantime, I am working on a G3 custom I have had stored in my to-do bin... I'm trying to finish the custom ponies I have started so I can eventually sell them to earn money to buy an airbush to make painting much smoother.

I'm not a big fan of sculpted hair unless it's super show accurate.  The kind that you make with the press that makes your clay like spaghetti noodles just doesn't do it for me... I don't know, it just reminds me of play-doh too much :/

If the pony is an extra, then it doesn't bother me. I would be a little sad if my only pony had sculpted hair....but not so sad that I would be mad about it. lol.

So I think I've gotten the glue out of my pony's hair, which makes me VERY happy. It would have been bad enough rehairing, but I think just getting out the gluey hair would have driven me insane.

So hair is inserted, I just have to reassemble ponies and style their hair and I'll be done!

Oops, sorry. I guess I used the word "style" a little too loosely. :lol: I really just mean trim it to the right length and I do want to try and do the bangs, but I haven't decided yet if I'm that brave.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't expect anything fancy when it comes to pony hair.

So, rehairing my pony has been put on hold. I've broken all my needles trying to put hair on her so I have to wait a week in order to have funds to pick up some good sewing needles to make into rehairing needles myself.

But other than that, I have all my extras ready, the proper packaging ready, and a box to ship it all in :)

Good news! managed to find some needles stashed away and rehairing is back on schedule. Bad news... Mr.TALE ate my partner's extras, so I need to go get some replacements when I get paid again.

I even put a note on them saying "no munchies!" guess the note fell off or something.

Quick question, I don't know if this was asked yet... but here goes:

"Would you like your pony's hair to be styled? as in curls, braids, etc. or just left plain."
Title: Re: G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- All clear -- keep working!
Post by: rosierjay on June 23, 2013, 09:04:05 AM
for me? plain is good. i usually braid it if it's long. i like factory length.
if its curled thats cool too. not too picky.
i just just try to keep it from getting tangled.

As far as styling hair goes, just was it with some conditioner so it isn't all "stringy" at the end. I don't like seeing individual plugs separated once the rehairing is done, but a little bit of water and conditioner will fix that up quickly :)

85% chance that I would toss or gift away stationary. I'm terrible about writing letters, heh.  Though, if it were MLP stationary I would use it for swap letters.

I like the idea of stationary!  I'm always having to make lists, since I'm forgetful, so that is a great plus for me.  =]  Plus, as a writer, I scribble on a lot of things, and doodle up new ponies or jewelry ideas. 

Hairstyles can be whatever.  I don't care.  My poor partner is getting ponies with straight hair, as I can't style even my own hair well, much less a pony.

I live for lists, I am always making them on everything, cardboard cereal boxes, receipts, scratch paper, I go through little note pads like nothing!! Also I have 2 pony pen pals so paper to write to them on would be awesome as well!

Stationary is cool as me, particularly of the Japanese "kawaii" variety -- I love using cute little notepads to write messages for swap partners on. :3

Stationary is good with me pens, paper whatever I'll most likely use it for notes in pony mail.

Well, I collect note cards and little notebooks, so that's fine by me.

My ponies are still bald. Once EFNW is over I'll give them hair. I've just been swamped with work and in combination with being sick I haven't gotten much done.

I have the two that I am hairing right now. I got behind after everyone got sick after the camping trip. I will try for a 3rd and maybe send it later if I want to.

My third has had a catastrophic failure, so it's pretty much scrapped.  Sorry partner.  I don't think you'd like a pony with a big gooshy spider carcass glued to it ^^;
Just need to buy some extras and find a box it'll all fit inside.
I like stationary.

I'm sorry I've been inactive on this swap.
My pony is done but sadly there will be no extras.
Partner, I'm sorry but so much has happened over these last few weeks.

Please whoever has me, do not include extras in my package.
Thanks

agreed.
but you should be ok if your partner decides to give you extras.
its not like it's something malicious you should be "punished" for.
we all have hard times in life, we understand that.
beside its fun to get extras for a partner and they may already have them ready.
so don't worry. :)

I'll get my pics done tonight/today, I got a little sidetracked because of suddenly needing dental work out of bloody nowhere.

How should I ship this?  I have lots of bubble mailers that it'll all fit inside, or are boxes usually preferred for swaps?

:O sorry to hear about your gecko! D: WHat kind do you have? (i'd assume leopard or fat-tail since they're the most popular!) I've got two fat tails and it can be heart breaking and expensive when they get sick.

If you are my partner, no worries about it being late, take care of the scaly children first!

He's my 3 year-old Leopard Gecko named Toki (named after the crabby old lady from Ponyo. His personallity matches hers some days) He had an impaction due to the sand in his tank (which I have now gotten rid of completely for him and his two older sisters.) but he's all good now and is recovering well.

so glad he's alright. Sand can be tricky. I had the same thing happen when I was younger (much younger actually) with my sand boa. He got impacted as well and the vet was like "don't put sand boas on sand" weird right? Glad to hear Toki is doing better.

Ah, extras. I'm just sending some baits and hair as extras, that works, right?
oooo thats fancy! I'd love hair and baits

So many goodies . . . cookies and stickers and tiny Dr. Who (who is apparently too busy saving the world to look at the camera) and PONY PARTY crayons! What can be better than pony party crayons? Not much, except the ponies of course! I'm so happy with the prettiest Minuette and the cutest Mosely Orange. Enough blah blah, here are some inadequate and blurry pictures.

:newpony: Got my box!!! Yay!! Thank you jwalraven! So many goodies . . . cookies and stickers and tiny Dr. Who (who is apparently too busy saving the world to look at the camera) and PONY PARTY crayons! What can be better than pony party crayons? Not much, except the ponies of course! I'm so happy with the prettiest Minuette and the cutest Mosely Orange. Enough blah blah, here are some inadequate and blurry pictures.

i received a box from LeighAnnApanites
ok this box was beyond amazing.
the first thing i opened was this adorable turtle dog toy. (which i had to chase down to get in the picture.)
so everything i opened after that had at least half my puppy's attention. XD the other half on the turtle.

The ponies are, of course, totally amazing :lovey: I love that she sent along a blind bag figure of each as well. And I don't know if she's psychic or something, but Sunset and Sunlight are two of my very favorite hair colors and ones that I am always in need of. The purple one is gorgeous as well and it's a color that I didn't have already.

Thank you so much, hannaliten!!! :frolic:

Eep! :blush: Thanks! I'm *so* glad you like it. :biggrin: I thought about it after I had shipped it off and realized there was probably more stuff for Beckett than for you, so I'm really glad that worked out. I saw that little turtle and couldn't resist it's cuteness. Much like your fluffy, adorable pup. Give her a good tummy rub for me, please!

Ren-Ren and UrocyonFox, what great boxes! Those are all really awesome ponies.

Sweetcream Scoops and Lucky Dreams are so gorgeous, and I definitely did not steal that Sunlight hair. It was *not* me. Definitely.

Brushable Apple Fritter and her mini-me are so cute together. For some reason, I want to go shopping with Tea Love and Feathermay. It just looks like a fun day out!

I forgot to sign mine too! I'm starting to think I should just sign them first, 'cause it's not that I don't think about it, just never when I'm finishing up. :lol:

OH! Partner, I forgot to tell you in my note that I usually don't glue the heads of my customs back on. I like having easy access to the insides of the pony and it seems to me that when I try to glue them they never sit 100% flush. They look perfect unglued and still fit snugly without it. Usually I ask people if they would prefer the head to be glued, but since you are also a G4 customizer, I trust that you can adjust it to your liking :)

I got my box from PaintedHooves this morning!! I'll be posting pics later tonight, but for now I will say I love Magnet Bolt :D I can't stop petting her hair, it's so soft :heart: And the gems in her eyes are so pretty, and reminiscent of G2.
Thank you for the baits, as well! They're just what I needed for a project I've been planning. And another pony on the way? I can't wait to see her, as I'm sure she'll be just as gorgeous as Magnet Bolt.
Thank you so much, PaintedHooves! I've been feeling a little down lately, so your package really cheered me up ^.^

AHH!!!!  I got my box yesterday, all the way from Australia!  Thank you so much, Pyro! 

I got the lovely Coconut Cream, and she has tinsel in her hair!  So cute.   You did a wonderful job with her, and she is now prancing all over my display shelf and enjoying her new home.  But, she didn't come alone!  I got some lovely customizing supplies, darling yowie animals, the cutest little animal friend for CC, and a bracelet!  I love all of it so much!  Here is a shot of everything:

UrocyonFox, I am So glad it made it there safely!  I have that shade of grey, and I just LOVE it.  So gorgeous.  Blue raspberry is the bomb, and I am so sorry I couldn't find a Tea Love to send you as a BB.  I don't think I have her either.  Either way, I am so glad you love your girls!  They were a joy to make and I had a blast with them.  I need a Tea Love for my own collection now though, LOL!

I value it over my own life.

Thank you so much for everything RainbowJuice!  Tea Love is so pretty with her hair all curled and candy striped; she's just perfect!  Noteworthy now has a new home on my purse so he can come with me everywhere and keep me company.  And Tea Love's portrait makes a lovely backdrop for her on my desk  :heart:  I'm not sure where I'll put my sticker or my little Applejack charm, but I'm sure they'll find a home soon, pony stuff always does!  I love it all so much!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  :lovey:

Yay! I'm so glad they got there safe.
I was starting to panic.

So...I kinda want to do this again as I love my pony.  Anyone want to do a private swap with me?

Just wondering, can we leave feedback now if we've received our ponies? Or is it not until everyone has? Sorry if this is a really obvious question ^^;

Eep! Me too! I figured I had better go ahead and do it so I wouldn't forget...

That is a great box, Rainbow! I hope the rest show up soon.

OMG, I am so sorry that I haven't checked up on this thread recently! I am completely terrible, I'm sorry for that. T_T

Anyway, is there anyone else who is still waiting for a pony? If not, then it looks like we're just about done... :3
