Since this is huge news we must all prepare. Every update is exciting and since this one has announcements for the announcement itself, it must be a huge development :Flutter4:

Fully funded announcement.png


Myself and the absolutely incredible @darklys are thrilled to announce that the first ponies of 'Project G2 Re-Do' has been fully funded and are beginning production. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT!!!

I cannot thank Dark-Lys enough for their amazing investment which is making this pony dream a reality. They have personally funded the first production run of the project and we've been excitedly scheming behind the scenes to make this happen. HUGE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART <3 <3 <3 They are incredible

What does this mean for everyone?

A first run of blank white G2 ponies are being made. I have a meeting to finalise our requirements with the factory tomorrow but they have been working from a detailed project proposal meaning that these ponies should have:

- Plain white bodies made from hollow vinyl with a detachable and posable head
- Mane rooting holes pre-punched for ease and a tail hole
- Printed eyes matching the originals
- Holes for eye gems (gems not included)
- In the Sky Skimmer / Pretty Parlour Ivy style pose

These ponies will be ready in approximately 4 months!!! No kickstarter required! They will be available to directly purchase - easy peasy!

They are being made in the UK by a very reputable toy manufacturer, meaning the materials used will be the highest quality and certified to comply with health and safety standards worldwide. It also means that communicating with the factory to make sure everything is perfect is really easy!

I'll be opening a webstore, and Dark-Lys will be an official US / North American distributor which means buying internationally will be a breeze! Additionally we will be offering wholesale orders for any pony shops interested in stocking them.

My store will hopefully also include everything you need to customise your ponies including eye gems, rooting kits, hair, possibly cutie mark stamps, and a blog full of tutorials, tips and tricks to make some beautiful 90s style ponies

Thank you SO MUCH everyone for your support on this project it's a dream come true. Special shoutout to @Uftaki for helping name the project!

So exciting! I can't believe that after 20 years there'll be more G2s in the world!

Any questions please feel free to ask - I could talk about this all day!!!
 
This is so EXCITING! I am really looking forward to getting my hands on a few blanks!
So amazing of @darklys to help fund and make this happen for the entire pony community, thank you, Lys!! <3
And of course, thank you to @Grace Ruby for the hard work to make this a reality! I am so excited!

I love the name. So much fun to say too!

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

Lys is a magical pony pegasus angel in person form - this is all possible thanks to them and I couldn't be more grateful
 
THIS IS AMAZING!!! :shock: :lolpony: :ponylove: :Flutter4:

I am so glad the project is finally becoming a reality!! I’m so glad for you and @darklys is well and truly a pony angel, making dreams happen. Thank you Darklys! Also thank you @Uftaki for the name! I hope I’ll be able to get my hands on them if I have money when they become available

G2 Re-do it is new
I’m so glad you saw it through
There’s not one or two but quite a few
Blank ponies, that’s very true
Do I have custom ideas? Not a clue
I’m sure I will though very soon~

I actually thought Sunsparkle was teary with joy here. She may as well be, this is a magnificent moment in pony community history, the revival (in some way) of a generation

You're so kind! That poem is amazing!!!

I hope you do get one I can't wait to see what everyone makes with these brand new ponies, I think they should be quite affordable. I personally want to make some of my G3 faves like Minty and Toola Roola

It makes me so happy to see how much people love G2 we're like the hipsters of MLP with our forgotten generation haha, we're a niche within a niche

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:
