Description
If you read only one paragraph of the description, make sure it's this one! Firstly, this is not a thing Hasbro is making (and I would be flattered if you thought it was!). Secondly, I am not a trained designer; I am a trained musician! Thirdly, I could not have drawn this without ~Inkwell-Pony 's incredible study .

The thought process that led me to make these was after an internal debate about whether I would seriously go into a shop and buy Hasbro's My Little Pony product. The answer was no, I wouldn't.

Hasbro's current toys (as far as I have seen, and correct me if I'm wrong) seem to be static models of how ponies have looked since the first generation, with only a rotating head for articulation. If you ask me, there's an age you reach when you're young when your imagination just doesn't cut it any more and you want your toys to be able to move their limbs and such. There's also an age when you're an adult and you start buying immovable satuette collectables again. I for one am between these two stages; I like my toys with a bit of articulation in them!

The design above is an idea cobbled together from my knowledge of Character Options' Doctor Who action figures (of which I own many), Hasbro's own G.I. Joes (of which I own a dozen) and Jazwares 3.5" Sonic the Hedgehog line (of which I own none). These ponies have about as much articulation as your average G.I. Joe, and the points are these: a ball-joints at the neck and the top of the front legs; a ratchet joint just below the top of the front legs to make for double-jointed, show accurate articulation; swivel joints in all four knees and the waist; and a double-jointed pivoty swivelly thing for the hind legs.

The bottom left corner details how each figure would come with two sets of front hooves: hooves for standing and hooves for posing. These would both screw in to the bottom of the front legs through the use of a bayonet fixture, like with light bulbs. Just above that is where I've detailed the underside of the hooves, where there is a small, horseshoe-shaped magnet to allow ponies to hold accessories (sold seperately). (Also, this is how I believe they hold things on the show! Invisible horseshoe magnets!... Yeah, you can see why I didn't base a comic around that.)

The bottom right corner demonstrates how Pegasuses would have their wings; by drilling two holes into the back, just below the neck, for ball joints. I've drawn two examples of wings ('flight' and 'rest') to show how different posing and personality would be achieved. Plus, I think ball-jointed wings for flying would be absolutely perfect.

That's pretty much all I have to say about this! Apart from, of course, HASBRO PLEASE MAKE THIS

PWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASE
