UK PonyCon's 2012 special pony "Holly Blue", Announced and FOR SALE!

[hathorcat]

to the Con committee for going to the expense and the effort of tracking this girl down for us!

As cloud_weaver says its not the first time a Con or Fair has had to think outside the box [neither the super popular Frisco or Trolley are official]. And personally I think its awesome that despite being ignored and let down by the very manufacturers of MLP, that the committee could still ensure those of us attending had an awesome pony!

Thank you!

[zzzova]

Aww thank you for your effort! Sounds like a lot of work but just know that we appreciate it! 

[SweetTune]

You girls are so clever! Way to make lemonade out of lemons!!

[DaffyDilly]

  Awesomest committee ever!

[sillymoosey]

Why do we never have eastern canada pony cons?!? ;.;

Drusilla did one for Quebec a few years ago and some people from Ottawa came. It was a blast but it was just a small meet at her house... If you want something bigger, you'll have to organize it yourself I think that the really serious collectors try to attend the american convention, when it's not too far...

[drusilla]

This is interesting to see a made con pony  i love her colors but then again im a sucker for blue ponies.

i wouldent mind one but i cant attend

hi sillymoosey how you doing?
there is no canadian fair / con YET
i have been working on it though for a while

[QueenGusty]

Off to the ponycon store!!

out of stock ... 

[josiekat]

Man.....you guys are so lucky. I want one of her so badly. She is so pretty!

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Well, that's one way to make sure that the UK Ponycon has an exclusive...

Sad that Hasbro has turned its back on collectors, though! 

[Eternia]

wow, you guys are awesome. The story behind her makes her all the more special. I can't believe hasbro would turn their backs on their oldest and most reliable fan base :/

[Dusky]

Hasbro spat on us *again*? Nice, guys. Real nice. My first convention had Hasbro representatives and a Q&A and all sorts, I wonder why they decided to be so darn rude? Are we not 'profitable' enough for them? Has the 'brony' market spending level mean they don't have to care about pony collectors when anything they make will get snaffled up anyway? Charming.

Holly Blue is lovely, hybrid, official or not. I'm so glad you guys managed to get her - and get enough of her! - for the Convention. For future reference I'm on the Isle of Man and customs is too lax/lazy to charge, if you want stuff posting to here then let me know and I'll forward it across or if needs be drive it across to where it needs to be.

Oh, and we're not the Fair! The Fair and the Ponycon are two separate events!

[aerieberry]

Oh man. I'll be searching for one of these!

[gazzy90]

What a gorgeous pony! Nice work UK PonyCon!

I wish I could get too 
Any chance you might be doing a sale after the con? Or put some up for auction or a raffle maybe? 

[Desert Rose]

I'm so happy to see you guys managed to get a hold of a pony to sell as an exclusive =) I can't even begin to imagen all the hours and work you've must have put in to achieve this.

The pony is lovely. And it's nice to be able to give it a proper name other than TrixieShy or whatever it is we're calling this pony at the moment
I'm just very upset to hear that Hasbro is completely turning its back on some of their most loyal costumers. But as mentioned I do believe they feel safe at the moment with the whole Brony community and don't really feel a need to go above and beyond for their former fans who probably don't bring them as much money and attention as the Bronies do at the moment.
That is a little offputting, but then again, it's a company and they're gonna put their focus on where they think they can make the most money.

I love how you guys went totally creative and came up with this idea
