G2 custom blanks?

StormMaeker said:
Friendship Gardens was one of the first pieces of pony media I had so G2 is special. I only have 3 G2 ponies that I found in charity shops in recent years (not counting my 5 McDonald’s ones I also found) and my G1 DVDs have the G2 covers. I grew up with G3 ponies (born 1999) but G2 was just always there in its own way. I hardly see G2 about and this project, it’s just so amazing. I think it could probably help others who may not be aware of it get to know the gen too :rolleyespony:

YES same here! I had my G3s but one day my dad got friendship gardens and installed it on the huge family computer. I was obsessed - literally hours and hours spent raising my ponies, playing in the town, printing the colouring sheets and getting yelled at for printing way too many haha. It meant so much to me and I thought they were so pretty.

My grandma got me a sweet berry from a car boot one day and she was an instant fave! She didn't look like my G3s but she went everywhere with me because she was my friend from the game and we'd baked cakes together and I'd been to her cottage. Only a few years ago I properly learned about the different generations and knew why my sweet berry was so unusual looking - and then I knew I had to have them all haha
 
I got friendship gardens free with something, and I was a g2 hating snotty teenager XD and was like "lol, I'm going to play this stupid game for a joke!" Joke was on me cos I got way into feeding the ponies pizza XD

I still play it now, I have a super old laptop with windows 98 on it purely as a friendship gardens console! The pizza munching sound is so satisfying and the main theme music literally lives in my head permanently

It's 50/50 as of yet - they're roughly due to be complete around the same time as Ponycon so it's unsure if they'll be ready and I'll be able to get them down to Nottingham on time. In my meeting tomorrow I'm going to discuss more solid production times and see if we can get them definitely done on time before I put a stallholder application in! If not I'll 100% have a stall next year, and there'll be the online shop in the meantime

If Chase wouldn't have been so protective of  their MY money, we would have started a week ago. Sorry about that.
Wow, banks hate it when you spend money, lemme tell you.

Also I love the phrase 'g2 hating snotty teenager' hahaha it makes it sound like other teens were rebelling against school or their parents but you were out here rebelling against a real cause - redesigned cartoon ponies

Banks are so strange haha, my bank doesn't even question large transfers most of the time but will have a fraud panic whenever I buy a mcdonalds in my town near the address my card is registered - how is buying food in the town where I live suspicious activity EXPLAIN

I was sooo mad when they changed lol

Everytime they change the style, I have a mini tantrum but end up liking them later XD

Haha yes I feel that, I was the same with Monster High. I much prefer the originals of those though and always will, but the new generation are really pretty and I want them all

I think it was just the second generation of those that were bad, didn't they take all the articulation out and change the makeup style?

Yeah G2 of Monster High is universally disliked - cheap bodies with no articulation, basic clothes with no details or accessories for the most part, and just AWFUL faces
 
OH MY GOSH

First of all, hahaha, wow! I didn't expect Darklys to end up being a part of it! That's awesome! Big thank you, Darklys and Grace Ruby!

Second, OH MY GOSH I can't wait. I need a bigger budget. I must buy lots of these! And should I say - not only more G2s in the world, but more G2s with a sensible mold! The moving parts thing didn't work out so well for them in the long run, it'll be SO nice to be able to customize these into all of my favourite characters! Sensible mold with normal design Light Heart HERE WE GO! And definitely my personas too, I MUST have G2s of my personas! Oh my god even imagining a G2 Star Fantasy makes me so happy. Even Lantern Light will look amazing in a G2 mold. *o* I must also get the budget for the hair, and the nerves for rehairing too. -cough-stillunfinishedlunarstar-COUGH-

Third! Could I maybe... just maybe? Be allowed to help out some with the website? c: No worries if not!

OMG YES! One of my first plans is also make customs G2s that didn't get a body I liked! I am not a fan of the moving legs haha, or the magnet noses which over time lose the paint and look awful! Or the back and forward heads with their lumpy necks hahaha. Lady Elegant and so many other never got a 'sensible' version......UNTIL NOW

Rehairing isn't that scary or tricky, just takes patience!

This project is all about community and I'd love for everyone to who wants to to be a part of it!

Woo!! :rainbow::ROLO:

Haha, ah, yeah hopefully practice will help me with that. I genuinely get so tense, I think I just get stuck in my head thinking about how I'm going to buy more needles if I break the current ones. I'll just have to prove to my brain over time that it'll be fine.

Yay! Then I guess we can talk about that more over PMs c:

I've not broken too many needles and I'm impatient and stab really hard haha
 
Omg this is tremendous! I'm so happy for you under-served G2 fans. I was one of those snotty teenagers myself, hahaha! They've grown on me in some ways since, just not enough to collect them for myself. I sure to want to steal some of their color palettes for customs though :rofl:

... especially Copper Glow. Mmmmmm :p~~~
