As written in the title, I would love to see your real Takara Ponies! I would be very happy to see some pictures from your collection of Real takara Ponies. I got my first Takara Pony in The beginning of the year And I was able to find two others for sale! I will post photos as well once they have arrived.
-
Congratulations on your Takaras Aniko ^.^
Which ones are on their way to you?
I don't own a Takara so I can't share pictures I'm afraid.

The first one I got is the one in my Avatar. She wore a different dress and I have changed it and dressed her up with that cute Takara Wedding dress. Of course I kept the package, so I can sew the dress back into the package again if needed.On the way to me is an awesome Fuwa Fuwa with Pale pink Body, original accessories and a red checkered dress. (Not the one from the recent auction, the one I bought is in better condition) And I am still doing payments on an awesome Milky with yellow body and pink dress.

How big is a Takara ?
-
I need to measure them, but they are not that big.They are only a tiny bit taller then other adult ponies. Fuwa Fuwa has arrived today! I will Update my avatar with both cuties :frolic:
-
I spy Pinky and Fuwa Fuwa in your avatar ^.^ their little outfits are so cute.
Ladygodiva they are pony sized if that makes sence :P there are some pictures of them with regular ponies in the links below:

I think you just made my heart ache with jealousy shelvesofwhimsy. I would love to own a Takara pony someday, but 1) near impossible to come by and 2) I have no idea what a starting price is for one but I am pretty sure it is out of my reach at this time
Normally I don't ask how much something is, but would appreciate a pm from anyone who could give me a ballpark figure. Maybe one is attainable if I save my money for a while (aka not buy any more pony items for a while) - thank you

I LOVE making them outfits! It is quite fun XD Although time consuming lol. They were just made to dress up :)
-
Oh! I want one!
I will convince my mother to make me one of crochet! :lol:
-
Shelvesofwhimsy: I can tell from your pictures the dressing up of the ponies is the best part! I'm going to have to play with my pony wear tomorrow :P
Ladygodiva: I have a beautiful crochet Takara made by my friend Strawberrymeadow. She is in Banana Crunch's colours, pink body with Aqua hair :)

Thank you PKW
It may take a couple of years to save up that kind of money..let's see :wonder: $25 x 52.5 (weeks in a year) x 2.5 (number of years) = 3,281.25. Of course by then, she may go up in value again :pout: I guess I can always buy a blank 3 inch replica for $60 that I can decorate myself. ^.^

If you'd like the replica let me know! I have one I bought but have never used/customized. I would sell it for less lol :)

I would be happy with just a Takara fakie. :) I always love looking at ShelvesofWhimsy's pictures of her collection!
-
ShelvesofWhimsy: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: OH WOW What a collection!! Major Congrats!! and a Huge thanks for showing it to us!! ^.^ ^.^

As far as we know these have never been found :(

Maybe they were a prototype and never went on sale.
I love it,but they are very expensive to me!
-
I'm amazed that anybody can afford these. I'm so jealous, I need to invent something fast...
-
Here are my girls, in their real Takara playset house! FuwaFuwa came to me MIB. I also have lots of fakie babies, and four of the new "takara pup" fakies that have turned up in Spain. I have them posed as if they're dogs in the house LOL!
Pinky is on her way to me as well, so I'll have four adults in total, plus ponywear and the playset, which came with my Milky :D And of course there's the lovely custom clothing that shelvesofwhimsy made for my girls!

I enjoyed your photos and story you posted with Milky and FuwaFuwa when you first got your playset house. Very adorable
-
They are very funny!thanks for sharing photo
I would like to have a Takara, but they are very expensive. At the moment I am satisfied with my fakies Takara.

Ah man! I didn't know you had a sara-sara too mlpforever! Lucky. I hope another one turns up that I can try to get one too..
^^ I hope if the person who got kurukuru is an arena person, they will share her pictures.

Now that we know my Sara wasn't the only one and another has turned up I'm sure we will see more of her!
Me too! It would be awesome to see Kuru out of her box :D
-
I would love to see Kuru as well. Who knows, with all the things that have been turning up recently, maybe she and Ami will show their pretty heads again soon.

MLPForever your ponies are so cute ^.^ do I see one of Teilla's resin ponies in the back ground and Greek candle? Which outfits did SoW make? :)
Shelvesofwhimsy I'd love to see your girls wearing your home made outfits ^.^

What is the price of a Takara? 1000-1300 dollars?
-
SoW - those outfits you made are so cute! And the little clothes rack too ^.^ thank you for sharing pictures of what you have made. It's a shame there aren't more Takara ponies as I think you'd have a market making outfits for them!
MLPForever - isn't that clothes rack just perfect? And those little clothes look so cute on your girls ^.^
Ladygodiva - the starting price is around $1000 each, but they can go for over $3500. This is for a loose pony ;)

I would love to have a real Takara someday but I would probably have to win the lottery first :P. I didn't know that their were ones you could customize!!! Does anyone know how to get them? How much are they usually?
-
^.^ ^.^ really lovely and adorable!! thansk for sharing such lovely ponies!!! (I love how they are dressed!!!)
-
Thank you all for showing your collections! They are amazing! Can anybody help me create an account on Yahoo Japan? I tried it, but I failed because I couldn't read everything. Help would be very appreciated!

I have a question, would any of you who have a Takara Pony be willing to have some 3-D scans done of it and upload the file?
It seems I'm not the only one who would like to have a replica version and the blank ones look much smaller than the original ones (and really expensive for anyone living in Canada, it's an extra $20 before shipping because of the exchange rate) and with some of the new materials they're offering 3D printing one seems like a good option
-

The replica pony is closer in size to the Takara fakies when comparing bodies and limbs. Her head is even more disproportionately larger than the takara fakies. I would say it is at least 25% bigger

something I think that is pretty cool about the pink pony is that she was created from the mold of a real baby Takara pony. I can make out, just barely, Takara something and Japan on her bottom!
-
So where can you get custom ones!? Someday I would love to have a Milky. She's my favorite color combo and so cute!

Me too! I would love Milky someday
Anyway, you can find the replicas on etsy, but you have to type in Osharena. Just to let you know, the limbs do not articulate very well; more likely to twist right off. I have to position her just so or she will not stand. And she can not sit because she has a rounded bottom.

Awe, I wouldn't mind one to make of Milky but alas I don't know how to rehair/customize ponies :sad:
I could've sworn that bubbles171 posted pix of her Takaras. Maybe it was on FB...

So its not actually that simple :) I have a 3d printer, and Takara ponies, and have been building one in CAD for awhile but haven't finished it.
For 3D scanning, its expensive to have it done professionally, to have the right tolerances for movable joints. And if it was scanned, it would not be hollow, and would not have poseable joints. All the hair would need to be taken out to get an accurate model. There are also some limitations in the materials it could be printed in. If I printed it professionally it could be almost $200 just my cost, so its pricey lol. And if I print it at home its in ABS plastic.
But I am working on trying to print some customizable real size takaras, its just time consuming haha

That would be great! ^^
I am aware that all these things take a lot of work behind. In my father's work if they had a 3D printer. But required special permits to use it, and obviously, would come out a rigid figure.

I suspected that the blank one was a little bit larger than the babies (I actually have one of the fakie babies, the one with Milky's colouring)
But that's disappointing though, I've done a bit of research on 3D printing and I know there are softer materials available now than a few years ago (there's a place near my grandparents' condo that prints in a rubber-like material). But I didn't think that scanning would be that expensive since it wouldn't need any materials and that you could digitally remove the hair and adjust it into separate & hollow pieces, at the worst I thought you'd have to separate the pieces manually and put them back together (the plastic doesn't look particularly rigid, perhaps a tiny bit more than a G1 Pony)
Though I am curious how far you are into modeling them and what sort of texture the real ones have; I've been trying to re-create the pattern for those plush ones from the print ad, but I haven't had very much time because of my schoolwork.
Oh, and Nessa, it isn't that difficult to re-hair ponies, there are quite a few tutorials on doing it; since you'd start from no hair at all you'll need to use push-pins to make holes for the hair and you may want to pencil in a few lines to guide you for that. Painting the coat is actually much harder since most of the paints I've seen look really obtrusive as the coat

Painting the coat is actually much harder since most of the paints I've seen look really obtrusive as the coat
The material used is powder-like with an adhesive mixed in to shape/hold together. When I drilled the holes for the hair plugs, there was a lot of chalk like powder that I chose to shake out. To add hair, and customizing is not my thing yet, I took small clumps of DH hair and used a spray adhesive on the end (beside to protect the rest of hair from overspray). I would then just force the plugs into the holes I made for the tail I am quite the MacGyver :lol:(character from old 80s television show). My tail is pretty sparse, should have made a 2nd roll of holes. Not quite ready to conquer the mane.
As for the body, apparently I suck at dyeing. Ended up buying chalk spray paint with a 40% off coupon ;). Because of the texture of the pony, I don't think there will be a problem with chipping/peeling as with original MLPs. My biggest obstacle has been the eyes. Can't paint a round spot to save my life. Ended up using acetone and then repainting my pony's head again. At least it is forgivable.

So there is quite a few new materials available :) I've printed a few things in them, but it doesn't feel as smooth as the actual pony, you can tell they were made in a plastic injection mold. So for scanning, unless you have a 3d scanner you have to go to a company and have it done. When I inquired they actually told me they couldn't get super accurate tolerances for the body (worried it might not fit together)
Also the scanners I've used convert the scan into an STL format, which is basically thousands of tiny triangles. Its more difficult to edit in the software I use, Rhino.
The plastic at my at home printer is pretty brittle. You wouldn't be able to force the limbs into the joints or it may crack. This is the biggest challenge haha.
For my model its basically almost done, but I haven't worked out the leg and arm joints :) She has a smooth body in the CAD because I'm working on a 3dm software, so unlike a program like Zbrush, all the surfaces are perfectly smooth to start :)
-
Making casts or 3D printed ponies is not easy at all. My hat is off to those who try this or work with either medium.
Lets get back on topic please :)
