Fans of Hasbro’s iconic MY LITTLE PONY brand have the chance to add an extra special piece to their collection with a one-of-a-kind pony designed by a noted artist or celebrity. Unique 18-inch ponies, part of a collection created to celebrate the MY LITTLE PONY brand’s 25th birthday and designed by stars such as David Arquette and Courteney Cox, Kimora Lee Simmons, Leah Remini and LeAnn Rimes, are available as part of an exclusive online auction on Charityfolks.com to support Give Kids The World Village, a nonprofit organization that provides week-long vacations to Central Florida to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
Each of the following individuals has created a unique 18-inch MY LITTLE PONY figure for auction:
Television and film personalities: David Arquette and Courteney Cox, Leah Remini, John Stamos
Musicians: Deborah Gibson, Amy Grant, LeAnn Rimes
Fashion influentials: Kimora Lee Simmons for Baby Phat, Lisa Pliner, wife of shoe designer, Donald Pliner
Artists: Jon Burgerman, Toki Doki, Catalina Estrada, Jim Houser, Klor (123 Klan), Junko Mizuno, Claw Money, Junie Moon, Tado
"The MY LITTLE PONY Project: 25 Ponies for 25 Years” collection also includes several ponies created by MY LITTLE PONY enthusiasts from around the globe, chosen as part of an online contest. Custom ponies were designed by children from Ireland, Mexico, Australia and the United States and one adult from the MY LITTLE PONY collector community.
Created in honor of the brand's 25th birthday, “The MY LITTLE PONY Project: 25 Ponies for 25 Years” initiative invited international pop culture influentials including celebrities, fashion designers, artists, collectors, and kids to design a collection of 25 one-of-a-kind MY LITTLE PONY 18-inch figures. Hasbro officially launched the program earlier this year with the unveiling of the first two custom ponies: Silver Pony, a pony made from 100% sterling silver designed by Hasbro, and TWINKLE HOPE, a pony designed for Give Kids The World.
Due to overwhelming response additional ponies have been added to "The MY LITTLE PONY Project: 25 Ponies for 25 Years” collection, bringing the total number to thirty. Additions include one-of-a-kind ponies created by: artists Julie West and Superdeux, clothing designer Kevin Leong of Origami for Black Bean Inc., and KidRobot's Steven Maze with Laurel St. Romain.
Hasbro has worked with creative New York-based agency Thunderdog Studios and online auction marketplace CharityFolks.com, to bring this exciting project to life.
