Then there was first and foremost Kirk Hindman, who literally laboured to create ponies. He has been working in Hasbro for almost 20 years and was responsible for making quite a few of the G1 molds. He was a senior sculptor and shared a lot of his production knowledge with us. It was to drool for! According to him, the Collector's Pose has been edited/modified 3 times, and each time they get taller and taller.
Giant Dancing Pinkie Pie Trivia
Kirk Hindman claims that he is partially blamed that Pinkie Pie was made. He was showing us some rubber material, and said that he was originally asked to make a blue prototype of a dancing pony. But he convinced the designers to let him make it in pink, the original colour so that he didn't have to go through another tedious process of "fighting out the pink with the blue". Eventually somehow, maybe out of convenience, the designers went with making Pinkie Pie instead.
Grace Garcia
Next was Grace Garcia, who is the next upcoming sculpting starlet talent for Hasbro (just to make it sound glamourous ). She didn't do much MLPs previously, but according to her, she is starting to receive more and more MLP sculpting assignment, and Kirk seemed eager to pass on his skills and knowledge to her. In fact, Grace actually sculpted a pony head right in front of us. She also said something about her experimenting with a few pony poses, so we shall wait and see if anything at all passes the marketing department's approval litmus test.
