It's definitely happening, just a bit slowly right now! These wings will be moulded to the bodies like all the other generations, I'm working on the 3D files currently! I'd love to eventually make replica clip on wings especially because all my twinkle star ones are broken and I've not got any of the unicorn clip ons. But pegasus bodies will have wings on their body like G1, G3 and G4
At the minute we're torn between putting clear gems in the eyes (eyes will be printed on) and just leaving the holes empty for people to put whatever colour they'd like in
well, it would be a good idea to actually sell jewels, maybe even tweezers and super glue, if you are going to do that (the way HQG1C sells hair for rerooting, ribbons, etc). It is quite difficult to replace eye gems. I did it with SS10 (that's 3mm)
pointed back Swarovskis from Etsy, sold by several shops, but I could
not use them to replace the gems on ponies missing only one gem. They stick out of the eye too far to match (but they look great when replacing both gems, they don't stick out nearly as far as G1 TEs, and they catch the light without a chameleon effect). According to Lavender Lagoon, one could attempt SS10, but I purchased some SS8 (2.5mm) and they haven't arrived yet. When they do I'll get back to ya!
I'm glad you got the feedback you needed from this thread for it to actually be a thing (kinda through the roof about it actually!
). Take the time you need to get it going properly, buy an extra Silverswirl, etc ( Kjiertenwonderland on Etsy? Girrrrl I once decided to take the shipping hit since I'm U.S. and I got so much cool G2 stuff from her all at once! Lady Sky Skimmer's drawbridge!). The playsets for G2 were very, very detailed and special, very medieval, tiny violets, wild roses, and pansies all over everything...
le sigh....HQG1C doesn't do that, but if you could get Morning Glory's tower mold that would rock. Maybe start with the connectable fences? Whatever crosses over with G1 would be a good thing.
Clip-on wings are a big part of G2, molded on wings would be like a new thing that isn't part of them originally, but it is a great idea. Will they be feathered or butterfly like the original? I'm really gung-ho for clip on because they appear in the comics, and as
@Leave a Whisper said they don't go with the ponies aesthetically -which makes them very signature for that generation, and they could become a big marketing gimmick for your line when people buy several pairs: some pairs for ponies that are missing them, some for customs, and some for collectors (and eventually non collectors) to actually wear in their hair (starting at conventions): Five years ago a club downtown had "ladies eighties" night. Now the eighties are such a trend that 80's night is every night because the fashions are no longer humorous and campy, but chic and cutting edge. 90's hair is just around the corner (oh god), and boys will be wearing them too (if only I hadn't lost my hair!- it's okay, I'll have the wings grafted directly to my scalp).
So I think the Sky Skimmer mold is also the mold used for the princes, there is only one unicorn pose, and you'd be starting with a boy in the lineup just like G2 did. Awesome! Also....I think the fences from the beginning of the line are a good idea, especially to hook HQG1C collectors. You could make larger versions as well with a printer, right? For G1's? HQG1C has no playsets, so it might be a good idea.
