Has anyone actually...

[Roogna]

I have one...but I can't bring myself to customizer her ...yet

[Tulips]

Oh I'd love to have one, are there any blank ones selling at the moment or are they only for those taking part in the project?

I collect G3 Styling ponies (not G3.5 but I do have Pinkie, gave her dreadlocks) and I'd love to add her to the small army = entire set completed twice and then some, I can't help it I love how big they are!

I dunno... I wouldnt be able to not customize her.... I dont like ponies without eyes at all..... creeepppyyyy

[assassin_kitty]

Does anyone have pictures or links to ponies that were actually done for the "pony project" thingy?

[Tulips]

I found this site for the 2005 project
http://www.asmzine.com/features/conventions/pony05/gallery/index.html

And a few days ago I found a whole list of other ones but I forgot to bookmark it. There's also a few videos on youtube... It's weird that it's so hard to find pictures of them. 

And a facebook sneak peek for this year...

OH! And a little bit on wiki... I love Jon Burgerman's, I wish I could have bought it.

[WeepingPiano]

Yeah, you would think that there would be an archive of them somewhere...

[Tulips]

I didn't even know it was only done in 2005, 2008 and 2012 until I saw the wiki about it... I wish they were held more often, I want to participate

[Maniah]

Isn't it an invite only event? I would love some way to sign up for it though if possible. I want one of those big ponies to decorate so very much.

[NoDivision]

Yeah, they contact artists and celebreties, it's not really something you can sign up for unless they ask you.

I let one of these giant beauties slip through my fingers yesterday when the bidding when just above my budget. Bah.

[Tulips]

I read somewhere that you just have to request a pony and they'll send you one, and then the best ones are used in the actual show. I don't know for sure though, I'm having trouble finding any information about it. But there have been some Arena members selling blanks, maybe they'll be able to tell us how to acquire one...

"3) There will be a new Pony Project in '08. This time, there will be a custom contest, with Hasbro offering blank white ponies to anyone who wants to enter, and the best 25 (to coincide with MLP's 25th anniversary) will be featured in the gallery showing, alongside the celebrity artist ponies!!!"

This was written about the 2008 fair in an old/archived Arena post by LuckyLeaf (posted Jul 29, 2007)

It would be cool if this was still true, that anyone could purchase one. But since there is so little knowledge, even on the Arena, I have my doubts. Unfortunate, there would be hundreds of people who would love to be involved. I'm an aspiring artist and I believe it shouldn't just be big-name established artists involved.

[Maniah]

I bet those were the small ones they offered out and not the big ones.

[Tulips]

Hmm you're probably right. I wish I could get my hands on one of the big ones, i much prefer the size and pose. Maybe by the time the next project rolls around I'll be a world-renowned artist and be invited to customise one... Hahahahahahaha!!! Yeah right

[Maniah]

If I catch wind of it early enough, Im going to send Hasbro lots of letters asking to do a pony. Or just to buy a pony. LOTS. Maybe they will give me one to shut me up Or actually let me participate!

No, No.. Shhh... Let me dream! lol
