Mikie Graham's custom for My Little Pony Project
The My Little Pony Project that's hitting LA on May 5th is sure to be an extremely fun event, and we're slowly seeing some of the custom creations for the show appear. Today we get the pleasure of seeing Mikie Graham's 'The Enemy Within', which is an incredible work of art.
This Trojan Horse My Little Pony was created for Blamo, and includes natural wood, sculptural re-configuration, and the use of Playmobil soldiers. You can see them through the pony's eyes, and the hand sculpted mane and tail look perfect in combination with the wood. There's even a tiny hidden door in the pony's belly for all of the soldiers to escape from the decoy once they're inside the walls of Troy! Be sure to check out the gallery for more images of the custom, and hit the jump to read the press release on this piece!
Hasbro and Sweet Street's upcoming My Little Pony custom show is nearly at hand and the customs are finally starting to be revealed. Not wanting to be left behind, Mikie Graham of Blamo Toys shows us his entry into the show.... a piece he is calling "The Enemy Within." As you can see Mikie has taken his DIY Mega Pony and transformed it into a scale replica of the famed Trojan Horse.
Mikie talks about his creation:
"Because I was specifically doing this custom for Blamo I wanted to find a way to merge both of our styles. By combining the use of natural wood, sculptural re configuration, and the tongue in cheek use of Playmobil soldiers I feel that I have done just that!
Since this was a Mega pony I tried to packed it with as much detail as possible. Highlights include 2 scale accurate Playmobil soldiers visible through the pony's eyes, a hand sculpted tail and mane, and 4 functioning wooden wheels. If you look closely you can even see a tiny hidden door in the horses belly, with which the soldiers inside will escape their wooden decoy once safely within the walls of Troy!"
As you can see by the plethora of pictures, Mikie went all out for this custom and if all of the other artists have worked as hard and long on their pieces this is bound to be one hell of a show!
If you're in L.A. on or around the 5th of May make sure to drop by the Toy Art Gallery and check out all of the amazing work.
