# Pimped Plastic Ponies The My Little Pony Project By Cowbag | Published 2008-08-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-little-pony-project-pimped-up-my-little-ponys References: [themylittleponyproject](http://www.themylittleponyproject.com/) 25 artists, fashion designers and celebrities were invited by [Hasbro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-little-pony-friendship) to decorate their own [18-inch plastic ponies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantasythemed-dolls) as part of *The My Little Pony Project: 25 Ponies for 25 Years* as a celebration for their 25th anniversary. It's all for charity too, with the ponies to be auctioned off in support of the *Give Kids the World* charity. Artists that participated in the project include Japanese manga artist Junko Mizuno, [Toki Doki](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokidoki-edition-monopoly), Jon Burgerman, LeAnn Rimes and Debbie Gibson. Granted, it is fairly old now, and My Little Pony is now 28, but I still feel it is a valid trend on the strength of the works submitted. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Brand Collaborations:** Collaborations between companies and artists to create unique products, benefiting both parties. - **Charitable Auctions:** Auctions of one-of-a-kind or limited edition items for charity, providing unique experiences for participants while also supporting a good cause. - **Limited Edition Collectibles:** Creation and promotion of limited edition collectibles to target niche markets and create customer excitement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry can benefit from collaborating with artists to create unique and collectible versions of popular toys. - **Arts and Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry can benefit from hosting charitable auctions of limited edition items, as it provides an opportunity for fans to own something unique while supporting a good cause. - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can benefit from collaborating with brands to create unique limited edition pieces, as it generates excitement among consumers and helps companies stand out. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pony Franchise-Inspired Trading Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-little-pony-friendship.md) - [Pop Art Legend-Honoring Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1.md) - [Whimsical Coffee Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whimsical-coffee.md) - [Seaside Pony Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visit-maretime-bay.md) - [Playful Interactive Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-by-american-express-platinum.md) - [Doll-Themed Pink Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinkie.md) - [Artful Collectible Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fisherprice-little-people-x-andre-saraiva.md) - [Artist-Designed Toy Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-toy-series.md) - [Pop Artist-Designed Auction Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/850i-xdrive-gran-coupe.md)
