I wish a country made the celestial ponies

[Ember1]

For anyone like me that didn't know about the celestial ponies- they never made it past the art stage of conceptual prototypes. But I am attaching the art. It's pretty amazing. Which country do you
Think might have wanted to release their own versions of celestial ponies if they had been made?
What names would you come up with for them?

I pick
Chakra for the purple one with hearts and energy
Mercury for the magenta pony with The planet and its moons
Nebula for the pink one with star clusters
Terra Nova for the blue pony with the earth and moon

They would have been easy enough to make...a swirled pearlescent plastic and grounding for the star-tennae similar (but more fine than) the Hair-Do ponies...I'd have to go with Italy or India both have great histories of looking beyond just the visible spectrum of the heavens.

I wonder if any of the custom artists are going to try their hands in this?

Ohhh I hope so!  they look fantastic

[Ice_gypsy]

Oo I was thinking of making this set as customs to bring to sell at the fair

[Pythia]

I'm pretty sure someone did a custom set of these a while ago, but I can't remember who.

I always thought the Sparkle ponies were downgraded final version of these ponies

Hasbro art studio got over creative lol, they would have made great Uk Sparkle exclusives

[Zapper]

Always wondered if they intended to give them translucent bodies or if they were supposed to just have markings. I would have loved to have them little alien ponies.

Chakra for the purple one with hearts and energy
Mercury for the magenta pony with The planet and its moons
Nebula for the pink one with star clusters
Terra Nova for the blue pony with the earth and moon

These names are great! But "Chakra"'s symbol looks more like a thundercloud than energy to me.

Their stars and moon antenae could have glowed in the dark.

I love the art work for this set. I have been meaning to make customs of them, but haven't found time yet.

I have always felt the colour swirl ponies were what were made instead.

I agree Ember, the antenna would have to glow in the dark there would be tinsel in the manes and tails. The plastic is marbled, perhaps pearly as Seashellnbubbles has said

I am thinking Argentina as they are quite colourful

Love pkw xxx

[hathorcat]

I agree Argentina would have to be the obvious choice to have had a go at them However I would have taken them any way!

The Sparkle set were a couple of years before this concept art. This style of backcard would have meant the set was designed to come out the same year as the Mermaid ponies or the Rockin Beats - so the last couple of years
