Greetings fillies and gentlecolts! With this petition I would like to address a woeful lack of proper cosplay items for the bronies and pegasisters out there. While the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is relitively new, its fan base is growing very rapidly. Of course, with the expanding amount of people that enjoy this wonderful show, there are naturally people who would like to cosplay as ponies.
Now I know we do have some items that reference the program but that still doesn't leave much room for those of us who wish to get our, as they say, get our pony on. Following will be a few ideas of mine. As of this time I do not have any avatar edits available to show my ideas but hopefully that will change as this picks up momentum.
It is our hope that we can get these items in a very similar fashion to the Adventure Time sponsorship items.
IN ORDER FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, GAIA NEEDS TO GO TO HUB NETWORK AND HASBRO TO ASK FOR SPONSORSHIP.
Barring the sponsorship, we'd settle for really good knock offs
Remember to offer your love for the idea by '<3'ing our beautiful thread before or after you sign!
Ideas
A Horn of Every Color!
Even if you're not a My Little Pony fanatic, I just think it would be practical to offer unicorn horns in multiple colors to match all of the different skin tones and body dyes Gaia has to offer. You don't have to be a unicorn lover to enjoy the color matching benefits here!
Unleash Your Inner Pegasus
Just like the horns, cute wings don't come in many colors on Gaia. Wings like these are simple, yet adorable and (most importantly of all) very common in a plethora of cartoons. Having these in the same colors as the body dyes and skin tones will likely appeal to many, many people! They're just too cute!
Foot and Arm Mods That Resemble MLP Hooves
The hooves in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic are very adorable and simple. The hooves we have right now on Gaia are wonderful, don't get me wrong, but certainly have too much detail to get the cutey appearance many cosplayers would like. Not to mention there are many cartoons that have that style so they would have the possibility to appeal to others!
Hairstyles and Tails inspired by the Mane Six and Supporting Cast
Pretty much doing knockoff items of the main character's mane and tail styles. I think these would not only appeal to My Little Pony fans but also people who enjoy good hairstyles/wigs. Although my artwork leaves much to be desired, I think these present the idea rather well!
Thigh/Flank Tattoos
I know that there are items out there that have cutie marks but I think more in the form of tattoos should be offered at Skin Tyte. Of course there will be the typical shapes (like star, skull, heart, rose...) and colors offered but it gives us cosplays much more to work with. Not to mention the tattoo would probably look neat on regular avatars as well.
The Elements of Harmony
With all of the jewelry items we have on Gaia, it is actually surprising that something close to The Elements of Harmony haven't been made. Clearly it can't be exactly like the image above but having items that resemble these would likely be very popular among fan and non fan alike! Even before I watched MLP: FiM, I wanted Gaia to make a thicker sort of necklace like this: one that took up a good majority of the chest. These could easily released in Barton Jewelers so they could come in a variety of different colors as well.
Shirts
Just like with the Adventure Time sponsorship, we'd really like to see starter shirts of our favorite characters or even some with cute sayings. Like, having a blue shirt that reads '20% Cooler' in rainbow lettering with Rainbow Dash's cutie mark off in the corner or a white one with 'Idea!' in purple cursive with Rarity's cutie mark off in the corner. These would be so adorable!
'I Am' Poses
Want to be your favorite pony or a pony that looks remarkably similar to your favorite pony but different enough so Gaia doesn't get in trouble? I bet a lot of people do!
Backgrounds
Basically common places you'd find the various characters in the show. A cloud city, a library carved inside of a tree, a cartoony sort of woods with many animals, a bakery, a fashionable boutique... there is just so much that can be done and be appealing to others as well.
Companions
Mane Six and the Princesses for companions! Also, a 'Tom' the rock companion would be spiffy. Not to mention all of the fun that could be had with the background ponies. Big Mac, Ditzy Doo... all of your favorites!
Addtional Ideas
Pony Style: Signature facial expressions and eyes from the ponies
Grand Gala Wardrobe: Outfits based around those made by Rarity in the Show
Villain Items: Discord's horns, Holey leg and arm mods, helmets...
Items Related to Secondary Ponies: Princess Celestia's crown, Big Mac's Yolk, Apple Bloom's pink bow, Zecora's neck rings (more zebra items in general).
