There are lots of really great, creative vinyl toys out there, but by and large it hasn’t really grabbed my attention, made me sit up, and say WHOA PONY! Ok that was bad.
The My Little Pony Project

Junko Mizuno's take on the classic vinyl toy

I loved My Little Pony when I was younger, and to be perfectly honest, I still have a few of my favorite figures with me to this day. When I was little, I watched the cartoon show, I begged and negotiated (read:whined) to get more of the figurines and their accouterments. I made up weird tales in which they rescued mostly nude dolls from the clutches of evil scientists. (True story.)

Now, some really talented artists are taking on that vinyl form we know and love, and they’re really making it shine. They also have a contest going for participants in the project, and the whole thing is intended to benefit a non-profit organization called Give Kids the World Village. There will be a gallery showing of the designs some time this month.
