Hasbro's Missing Links Swap - All Done! See you Next Time!

[Saja]

Fair enough! I agree. I was abit too excited.
But maybe if we were making a baby? we could make 2?

I would say that if you *want* to make more than 1 custom, you can. But only 1 custom will be required. However, if you are interested in making or receiving a set (even something like newborn twins), please mention it. If appropriate, I will try to match with someone else wanting similar.

If the swap is a hit, you can ask for the next time around that someone adds to your new "set" or be inspired to make one for yourself, or do it as a personal swap. (obviously, I like the idea..I've been planning some for myself and am so glad others like it)

looooove the male seapony idea! Please, everyone, keep posting ideas - it will help us all

also, this is not a sculpting required swap...but, certain sets (like sundae best ponies) might need it. also, you might need to sculpt horn or wings, or larger fins or reshape faces, or add hair to hooves...just depends, but it should still feel hasbro-inspired.

*edit - also, I won't rule out requesting moms/babies/dads/etc for existing ponies....but the point is to create a NEW pony inspired by a set, not just an older/younger/different pose of an existing pony


I totally need a boy tropical pony now too 
other ideas: flower fantasy and colorswirl peg or unicorn (they only have earth), rainbowcurl needs blue and green,

I want in! This is an awesome idea for a swap!!!    I'd love to be a part of this one.

So, I am no good at customs but I totally want this swap to happen because I want to see the results!  Here's some random ideas for y'all who are awesome customizers:

-I always thought it was super lonely to just have the G1 christmas pony (well, two I guess with baby stocking). G3 has so many holiday ponies, it would be cool to see some other holiday ponies in G1, like an Easter themed pony or a Halloween pony or even like a 4th of July pony or a Thanksgiving pony…
-I also love seeing people's sweets-themed customs - are there any chocolate themed ponies in G1? Maybe a chocolate themed Sundae Best pony addition? Like "Rocky Road" or "Chocolate Fudge Swirl" or something would be fun.
-Love the idea of the baby Tafs - somebody make a baby Munchy!!
-What about an addition to the Slumber Party ponies? You could kind of use any pose pony since they are so varied. Maybe like "Comfy PJs" pony or "Slippers" or  "Pillow Fort" or something.
-G3 also has a lot of tropical flower ponies which are just lovely. Maybe riff on that and add one to the Tropical ponies set? Like "hibiscus" or "plumeria". Or, you could do a sunset themed pony to add to the Tropical ponies, that could be lots of fun colors.
-Another addition to the carousel ponies would be a fun repaint!
-For the Sun Shine ponies, what about one called "Tidepool" that has urchins and little crabs or tiny octopi or something?
-Maybe a Sweetberry pony like "Marionberry Pancakes" - I just think there should be a pony with a pancake symbol, hee hee. I think a blackberry cupcake one would be really cute. Or maybe a boy Sweetberry pony called "Huckleberry" - Huck for short!
-You could always do a new princess in somebody's favorite colors as well.
-UK had some interesting series as well, like the Romance ponies. Maybe "first date?" No idea how you would represent that as a cutie mark but…
-There's also the UK School time ponies - it'd be cool to see like "Science Time" or  "History Time" or something.
As I recall there's a thread floating around too with a whole bunch of awesome boy pony ideas that were related to weather?
Anyhoooooo  just some ideas to get people's creative brains going! 

[Roogna]

I love tidepool and pillow fort!

big brothers: Deputy (police or western sheriff), 40-Love (tennis - hat could be a visor lol), Aviator (pilot)

Happy Tails: squirrel (they have squirrel tail clips, but no squirrel symbol?)

[Saja]

OMG TOOO MANY IDEAS!! Lol
I love all them so far. specially am thinking the colourswirl ponies needed another 3 different girls to that set, maybe pegs, unis, or different colours. an the flower fantasies also.
this is an awesome idea!!
I also like then idea of husbands for the bride ponies

Big brother farmer. With a pitchfork!

Feedback time! I'm working on the rules, questionnaire, etc.
Would answering these questions be enough? Are there any other questions, specifically, you would like to have on the questionnaire?

List 3-5 of the Sets that you would be interested in receiving a pony for (in order of preference if you have one). If you have a specific color/pose/name for that set that you would like to see, please list it.

Do you want the custom to stay the SAME Gen as the original set? If no, or you don't care, please list what Gens you would be ok receiving.

Favorite colors and color combos:

Least favorite colors and color combos:

Favorite poses:

Least favorite poses:

Are you interested in or willing to make more than one pony (like new born twins)?

[wlyteth]

It would be very sculpt heavy but more merry go round ponies sounds fun.

[Whippycorn]

Those questions sound good.  I have never done a custom swap before, are there normally any extras included?

[dashesndots]

I think those questions are good!

no extras required, but if you want to include an extra (tea, candy, etc) you are free to do so! just know you may not get any in return

[Whippycorn]

OK. It was more in case we should ask additional questions about what people like. But I can just do some stalking instead! 

[Iris Patch]

I'd be interested!

I just modified this thread to take sign-ups, so we don't loose the good questions and discussion

[Iris Patch]

I'll sign up in a bit, just wanted to know if animal friends are okay? I would absolutely adore a fan-made animal friends wolf!
