Time for a random update! To be honest, I think it’s helping me out some as I’m starting to get a lot more productive with the site again – in terms of updating the various sites pages. Anyhow, back to the randomness.
Earlier in the fall I got hooked onto watching My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. Can’t remember how, I think it was my friends that introduced me to it but I loved it. Sure, it’s originally a cartoon aimed at little girls, but it seemed to have gotten a huge following of male viewers – bronies (brony) is the correct term. The animation reminded me of the old cartoons I used to watch – Johnny Bravo, Dexter’s Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls…it was only after researching that I found the same people animated all of those shows (I believe a majority is from Lauren Faust and/or her husband). Anyhow, it’s a very entertaining show, and I find it much more enjoyable than the random stuff from Spongebob.
I’m not going to go into deep discussion on the show, rather I’d like to show off the work of one of my friends. One of my favorite background ponies is Doctor Whooves. So, knowing that my friend is trying to get her craft business off the ground, I had commissioned this guy:
Technically, he’s no longer a pony, but a mule. Wanted to make him a little different from the others because…well, he’s a time-lord after all! It came out far superb – way better than what Hasbro has to offer. I have plans to help her business out by also commissioning Derpy, the mane 6, Luna, Big Mac, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders. 😀
Here’s a bunch of pics that I took when it arrived:
See? Resistance is futile.
All of you unconverted as of yet, prepare.
Ummm, where can I get one of these? Does she have a website??? My daughter would LOVE this – huge Dr. Who fan 🙂 Good Luck to your friend!!
Yeah brohoof! My favourite background ponies are Colgate and Carrot Top. Derpy too of course!
By the way – this is probably the best fan-made Pony PMV videos I’ve ever seen – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV_0n5gp1fE&feature=g-u
If you have Facebook, you can find her page at https://www.facebook.com/smitstuff?sk=wall
Very good price, too, and very huge for what you get. Tell her I sent ya. 🙂
I’m sick of these ponies.
I remember Dexter’s Lab 🙂
Love the plushy!
I’m a big fan of the show and all things MLP, but I don’t really consider myself a brony, since I actually collect the toys, and am a fan of all generations. Being a child of the 80s, I collected MLP as a child, and about 2 years ago I got back into collecting again. My G4 (FiM) toy collection somehow managed to become my biggest. I even go out of my way to try and get my hands on the blind bags that aren’t sold in the US.
I don’t have any custom plush (I can’t bring myself to spend more than $15 on any stuffed animal, custom or not) yet, but if I ever did get one, it would probably be of Trixie or Lyra. Or Fleur.
