This was original the from a fund raising art show by hasbro called "The Pony Project".
The standard sized one was available on the hasbro website for a while as well as a few of the other art ponies.


 

You are talking about the large blanks sent to artists for the pony project correct?
If so I bough mine for about $300 USD back about the time of the pony project.
You really don't see them come up for sale very often.
I don't think there are very many of them in the hands of collectors.
I have seen far fewer of them than rosey posey or the breast cancer awareness pony.

Not sure if I would part with mine for less that $650 however mine is mint.
Without pictures but given what you have said I would still say probably still at least $500.

Rares are really tough to price so I would love to hear others opinions as well.

The rosey posey on eBay is up for $600 which I agree is too high. I haven't seen her up as frequently as I did several years ago. I feel like she is worth at least $350. She is really a lovely pony in person. I certainly wouldn't part with mine for less than that.

I feel like rares are hard to price because they come up so infrequently. Sometime you have to just wait for the right buyer to come along. Also the high price tag it's also a timing thing for even the people who can buy them.

The breast cancer pony is between $350 and $500 depending on what version you get.

I have both versions of ribbons and hearts.
Is there a particular way you would like to have them photographed?

Congrats SDS!

I just hit the 10 year mark back in February.  I dated my husband for 7 years before we got married. Would have married sooner but wanted to finish college first.

The irony of the marriage is that we both started hanging out together because we didn't want to date and we didn't see each other as someone we would ever date.
We just wanted to be friends. Guess that didn't go as planned. Definitely turned out for the best though. I don't think I could have made a better choice.

For those of you searching for love "don't give up" and "be open to the possibility". You may find it in unexpected places and when you are least prepared for it.

I grew up with G1 ponies and have about 60 of them. My entire original herd and my cousins that she didn't want anymore. Nothing is quite the same as the ones you grew up loving and playing with.

However that being said, I LOVE G3! They are the only ones that I have been excited to get a complete collection of. I was SO excited when I heard they were bringing ponies back and I hunted them down and bough the first wave. I was hooked. I loved the body proportions, the ears and they eyes. I loved everything about them. Sure I missed the unicorns and pegasus ponies but these were much more like the G1 ponies with their unique ponies in each series(until the end, 3.5). G3 really makes up the bulk of my collection. I have almost every one, including many of the rares and proto types. I think the only thing I wish they had done that they didn't do was add unicorn and pegasus ponies sooner, more baby ponies and boys.

I really wish I had pictures of my collection to share in this thread. When I get them all out again I will share some pictures!
I would love to see some some pictures of the G3 ponies people most love. I LOVE seeing the hair styles people come up with and the photogenic qualities of G3.
