My Little Warband, Dungeon Crawls Are Magic
« on: November 07, 2011, 03:12:23 PM »
Yes, this is EXACTLY what it looks like.

As part of a pet project, I'm trying to construct a group of adventurers based around the main six characters of the new My Little Pony series.
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic has been sweeping the internet as of late, teenage boys and grown men explosively flooding into it's fanbase every day for god knows why. (spoiler, it happens to be a half decent show)
I've found two models so far that represent characters well, but my search has run into a snag.
Hey, come back!
I need the help of you fine people to locate more models which match characters from the program.
The party members need to be comprised of fantasy figures in the 25/28 MM range, and it does not particularly matter what class they are.
Their genders do not need to match those of their representative ponies, though I would prefer a relatively even female to male ratio.
Key things to search for are symbols on armor/clothing and weaponry, for instance, the Reaper Tolzar cleric has Rarity's signature diamonds all over his armor and shield.

Yes, I know.
My Little Pony.

Here's what I've found so far.
Rarity:

Reaper, Tolzar:


Twilight Sparkle:

Reaper, Elquin:


Here's what I need...
Fluttershy:

Looking for butterfly symbolism, figure should be unarmed to reflect the character's disposition.

Rainbow Dash:

Looking for some sort of quick looking lightening mage with a flowing cape.

Applejack:

Some sort of figure with a hat similar to the character's. A not-over-the-top witch/vampire hunter may work. Consider a druid with some sort of fruit on their staff - if such a figure exists.

Pinkie Pie:

A female bard would be preferable, symbols in apparel will be difficult to find. Frilly lace clothing or something could work well.

With any luck we can find them all quickly, get some interest invested, then start on the BACKGROUND CHARACTERS!
Before you can ask, no, I have no shame.  :D

How about one of the Freebooter fairies with butterfly wings?

Definitely not a bad choice at all - though those three look a tad... snooty.
A nice reserved fairy girl is a good lead, don't know how I didn't think of it.
Thanks!




Really amazed this thread is moving so quickly, I expected a quick drop and a sudden stop.

 Yes... yes it is.

 What makes it worse is that as much as I would love to see the ponies cut up with chainsaws I think this project is actually pretty cool.

 I look forward to seeing what other figures will be added to the collection.

 Maybe I should chainsaw myself.....  o_o

Tisk tisk, six comments and only two of them helpful or constructive.
You people could stand to learn a lesson in friendly civility from this show.  ;) ;D

Anyways, the Anima Tactics suggestion was a good lead - though I really only found one fig that suited the project.

I'm torn between this Fallen Angel Dinah figure and the fairy mentioned above for Fluttershy.
While the Anima model carries the soft, gentle grace that Fluttershy displays in the series... the fairy has wings and shit.
I suppose of course I can always sculpt wings onto the Anima angel, but I'm keeping them both in mind for now.
Next, I think I'm going to be using this Reaper mini (which is  Cecilia the Trickster) for Pinkie - since it's sleeves and attire match her frilly design.

The only similarity to the balloon 'cutiemark' will be on Cecilia's bracelet.
And the last of my leads so far, this Fenryll peasant woman (far right) as Applejack.

I must say that when I first found this one I was dubious, but she's grown on me - especially when I realized I could swap out the scythe blade for a garden hoe.
All we really need now is Rainbow Dash.

I appreciate any help you guys can give me, this is a lot harder than it seems.   o_o
