mlp × sdmi 🔎 pony designs for the crew !!!

[flossy-funhouse]

someone got a little carried away with the new play set she bought…

finally showing a small glimpse of my… extensive collection of littlest pet shop to all of you on tumblr !! it’s a decade running hoard and one of my pride and joys as a collector and a toy enthusiast !! i’ve probably sunk hundreds into these plastic animals !!

this specific set is the doggy diner, incomplete, but snagged for only £5 !! i’m so very happy to be able to add another home to my collection !! the accessories are all ones that have been collected from so many places over the years that i couldn’t possibly tell you guys everything without it being a downright bore (if you’d like to know any specific ones though, i’d be very happy to share !!)

for the pets, we have #626 (the glittery destiny cat!) and #1199 (the chihuahua!) !! they’re probably some of my favourite designs currently, especially #626 !! I might even consider her a mascot of sorts !! i cannot overstate how much i love this plastic toy cat

decided to get back to my roots for a bit and tackle redesigns of my all-time favourite mlp G3 dream team : 3 these five have shaped my early 2010s and helped me to grow both as an artist and storyteller (i started writing silly little fanfics and my own take on the then-hypothetical G5 based on G3 and these five characters in particular), so they have, and always will have my entire heart.

i came up my own kind of au version of G3 and here are some of my small headcanons for each character!!

Rainbow Dash:

her parents are Parasol (G1 pony) and Barnacle (G1).

she is the oldest (and the tallest!) of the five.

she is a major fashionista and diva, but with a hint of adventurousness and even ferocity behind those eyes. Dash is a fan of all things beautiful, be it bright colours, grand celebrations, and more down-to-earth values.

naturally, her craft is related to rainbows - she draws them with the special paint she makes herself, and it's a very rare knowledge among the Ponyville citizens (Unicornia's rainbow-creating magic works on the same basis as Dash's paint, she just makes it without the unicornian magic involved).

oftentimes she is the voice of reason for her friends.

in her free time she designs clothing in collaboration with Sew-and-So and funds/runs fashion shows.

isn't the biggest fan of sweets (thinks it spoils her figure and coat).

absolutely adores rainy weather (cause rainbows).

is a sap for romance and cheep romantic novels.

Spike:

was born in a dragon tribe living far from pony societies.

was born wingless and with water-based powers, while most dragons breathed fire and had wings, so he's an oddball amongst the common dragons.

the dragons were supposed to work with pony royalty/leaders and protect them. The way the dragons chose did it was passing a test of obtaining a very rare flower only meant to be gifted to the royalty - the Royal Everbloom, a flower which was near impossible to maintain/grow but could bloom for forever.

Spike failed to pass his test of safely delivering the Royal Everbloom back to the tribe, failing to protect the flower from a bad storm so it withered under hard rain. However, Wysteria noticed Spike struggling to keep the flower safe just outside her cottage and brought them both inside - nursing the poor dragon and the flower back to health. It suddenly bloomed under her care, so by the old tradition, it meant that Wysteria belonged to royalty.

cue the events of Princess Promenade pretty much the same as they went down in the original as Spike played the role of mentor and royal advisor to Wysteria. She still rejected the title in the end, proclaiming that Ponyville didn't need royalty to govern over them and that she was no more special than any other.

Spike is humbled (and charmed) by her worldview and decides that he rather enjoys the simple life of local ponies - besides, he has grown deeply devoted to Wysteria and doesn't want their friendship to end, so he parts with his tribe and lives with the purple gardener in her little cottage.

he greatly helps Wystie with gardening - his water-breathing powers come in handy while working with plants! He finds that even if he doesn't breathe fire like "normal" dragons, he still can make his abilities work in other fields.

he is often the brains of the group - his exotic dragonic upbringing is a great contrast to the ponies' more down-to-earth worldviews.

is a vegetarian (idk if all dragons in this universe are or it's just him, but-).

is a big fan of literature of all kinds, especially poetry.

generally is a huge nerd and is prone to rambling about his favourite subjects. Not the most outgoing person, more of an introvert, especially in contrast to most ponies (that's why they match their energies with Wysteria so well).

absolutely adores Wysteria, they are something of platonic soulmates/life-partners. Can be very protective of her, even though he is usually non-threatening/pretty chill (he is her personal dragon guardian!)

Wysteria:

her parents are Blossom (G1) and Salty (G1).

Petal Blossom (G2) is her maternal older cousin.

Wysteria took to gardening and flower arrangement since early years from her mother. Participated in a lot of local fair gardening competitions through her fillyhood and won the majority of them (the trophies are kept at her parents’ house). 

moved out from her parents’ house once she had managed to save up enough money to purchase a small but neat cottage at the edge of the woods; it is located near Ponyville, but quite far from its centre. Pinkie, Minty and Dash like to visit their bestie and her dragon friend on weekends and each time together they plan some really fun activities. 

during spring and summer seasons, Wysteria lives off selling flowers and bouquets at Ponyville’s biggest market. Once autumn hits however, she and Spike stay at one of their three closest friends’, Pinkie, Minty or Dash’s, house until next spring - each year they stay at a different pony’s house. Wysteria and Spike help out with chores and share household duties during their stays, but even regardless of that their friends are simply happy to let the two live with them.  

Wysteria is socially anxious and quite solitary, content with keeping a limited circle of friends to spend time with. Akin to Snufkin she requires a lot of “alone” time away from others, that’s why she likes living so far from the town. However she is very dependable and very very kind, so a lot of ponies confide in her.

hates. weeds. so. much.

often feeds stray and forest animals coming to her cottage. Is fond of bunnies and birds the most.

Pinkie Pie:

her parents are Cotton Candy Snr. (G1) and Slugger (G1). Is a twin sister to Cotton Candy Jr (G3).

Pinkie runs a gift shop along with Minty, her bestie since fillyhood and a life-partner.

works as a party planner as her second job - generally just love celebrations and organising events.

she is a natural leader and is able to make even opposing groups come and work together. Sociable and easy-going, pretty chill to be around.

isn't easily scared and usually doesn't believe things she can't see with her own eyes or try out.

has a MAJOR sweet-tooth: her sister runs an ice-cream cafe, so there's that.

has a "supernatural" ability to come up with a solution to almost anything, - using Pinkie's squink (basically just squeezing her eyes tight and thinking long enough).

is drawn to photography and films.

Minty:

her parents are Minty Snr. (G1) and Steamer (G1). Ice Crystal (G1) is her maternal uncle.

everyone's favourite disaster-monger.

works in a gift shop alongside Pinkie. Generally can't function well without her supervision lol.

Clutzy and socially anxious, but in a different way than Wysteria, Minty is obsessive, hyperactive and makes up for her awkwardness with her pony-pleasing attitude. Enjoys helping others out, it makes her feel important.

can't sit still for long period of time, needs an outlet for her excessive energy.

collects SOCKS.

winter is her favourite season; it reminds her of warmth and companionship of her friends huddled close by the fireplace. Exchanging gifts and stories. Making others smile.

is surprisingly good at checkers.

is claustrophobic, hates being limited.

doesn't enjoy reading that much, but rather likes picture-book illustrations.

Had the animalistic urge to draw my childhood favourite g3 ponies.

And then I had the idea to recolour some of them to make the fim mane 6's g3 counterparts!

[flossy-funhouse]

Mintyyyy... :3

Don't repost/use 4 anything 🍬 COMMISSION INFO

[flossy-funhouse]

ahh!!! thank you SO much! this is genuinely so helpful, will take this into consideration going forward 🩷

i do tend to worry about how my photography looks when documenting my collections, it’s something i’m pretty new at (especially on tumblr haha!)

i really really wanna post my collections but i don’t have a good, cute background to use, nor a good lighting set up either :((((

[flossy-funhouse]

a very pretty pony, meet petal blossom!

the last to show of my current generation 3 collection, and the most… difficult to handle in terms of restoration. i will admit, she’s in wonderful condition, but i just cannot handle all that hair at once!

i really really struggled with her tinsel, i often try to avoid tinsel in my toys but it was an inevitable thing with her. let’s just say getting it to lay nicely wasn’t an easy task at all

never mind the little rant, what a gorgeous pony! oh my god! she’s genuinely so pretty with the long locks! i need to invest into some proper hair curlers to be able to make her manageable for me, hah!

[flossy-funhouse]

snazzy & razzy, it’s razzaroo !

i will admit, her dopey smile and big bug eyes make me giggle so much, but i can’t help but love her so much. my silly girl! the pose being referred to as “donkey” kills me,,,, don’t be mean to my girl

she gets a little pink bow, a reference to the pink strand in her hair that’s now faded to the white usually so commonly seen on razzaroo! (including here!) it’s a shame but what can we expect from old ponies?

she was a difficult one to style, hair wise! i didn’t exactly know what to do, with her awkward pose, so i decided to just give her some weird waves and hope for the best, haha! i hope it doesn’t look too weird…

[flossy-funhouse]

little baby pink sunsparkle!

what an absolute cutie pie! that little face is just so so precious, i can’t! i love how tiny she is, i can take her places without it being a big hassle to handle!

she’s the only baby pony in my small gen 3 collection and i adore her i love the warm, almost sunset-like colour scheme to her. it’s definitely a common theme in generation 3 but i’m a sucker for it all the same!

i decided to give her a little purple bow on her tail, seemed fitting, plus the small pearl is cute and fits sunsparkle so well! i will never get over the amazing colours used by hasbro here!! i’m a huge fan of it

[flossy-funhouse]

My little pony :3

[flossy-funhouse]

the sun is shining and it’s sunny daze!

i adoreee her, like genuinely i love her colours! it’s absolutely beautifully done by the designers at hasbro! this is why i love generation 3 so much !

this styling has to be one of my favourites, i love how her hair ended up looking, especially the tail! that curl is to die for!! i’m so glad i kept those glasses from.. somewhere? i’ve got a suspicion that it was an equestria girls doll, but don’t quote me on that!

sunny daze my beloved, i love her to bits!

[flossy-funhouse]

it’s rainbow dash, darling!

i just love her so much! she’s just a gorgeous girl, isn’t she? i adore the colours they chose for the mane and tail, it’s so incredibly beautiful to me

i decided to accessorise her a bit, rolling with the fashion theme that’s oh so prevalent in any and all gen 3 media pertaining to rainbow herself!

she’s been cleaned and styled, like all of my other gen 3’s. a whole lot of conditioner and a boil wash has made her hair super smooth, which i’m very happy about!! yay!
