I really like the custom ponies coming from HQG1C (High Quality G1 Customs). I’m not exactly sure how the team does it, but they are making small batch mass-produced custom characters and the results are just incredible. For me, there is an elegant simplicity in this line that really captures the essence G1, and that makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
Those behind the HQG1C project address the hard-hitting questions, like “What if there were glitter sea ponies? What if heads and bodies were swapped to create new poses? What if there was a rearing baby pony?” (We’re not really that difficult to figure out, Hasbro. Just do mash-ups of different gimmicks and pony types, and we’re very happy.)
