I didn’t actually make my pony armature to just try to imitate the og pony toys. I wanted to see if I could make models of *different* poses.
But, noteably, an armature like this doesn’t make new stuff perfectly! with all poses I can make with it, I would need to edit the sculpt significantly- and I would want to, anyways, because adding asymmetry and some difference is what makes the poses fun.
Anyways, I went through some of the g4 ponies which have dynamic poses to test new poses
These poses aren’t dissimilar to some of the g1 poses: Paradise pose, Truly pose, and Mimic Pose
The difficulty, I iimagine, is creating proper balance for poses. The rearing poses aren’t really balanced at all, they come with stands. The only properly “flying” pose is Paradises’ pose. Although the above Twilight pose is similar to Mimic, there actually isn’t a unicorn pose with a turned head.
Another one that would be fully unbalanced as a doll, however, I really like the idea of a bucking pony toy.
I think a shy Fluttershy pose would be cute, kind of a pegasus variation on the Gusty unicorn pose. Or the petite pony “shy pose” which would be cute in a big pony variation.
I’d like to try a lying down pose, this is one attempt
although I think id prefer a lying down one more like the glory and glory baby pose:
