As expected, the Green Lantern Hal Jornan Figures were hot, but who knew that at a production run of 3000 of the green and 1500 of the yellow, blue, orange, and red Lanterns he’d be extremely hard to get?  Each day you stood in line at the Graphitti Designs booth for lottery for a chance to purchase the color of the day.

Designer Blue Collection My LIttle Pony

My Little Pony Art Pony – 2009 Blue Collectors Pony

Set of Pop Art Pony & Underwater Art Pony (Specialty Exclusive)

It comes in a black collector’s box with a cut out for displaying the pony, and seems to be online only. Retails $19.99. It’s also currently on display at the SDCC, along with the 25 years of my little ponies project. Currently on display are the 18″ SIlver Pony, Twinkle Hope Pony, and Catalina Estrada Pony, which is my favorite. This one is classy and has beaded hair like an aristocratic pony. These will go on auction after the show. I noticed also that the other designers in the project included Claw Money, 123 klan, jon burgerman, junko mizuno, tado, and tokidoki!
