The 5th Annual My Little Pony Fair and Convention took place on Saturday and Sunday, June 21st and 22nd at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island. This marked the first year of more extensive Hasbro engagement with the collecting community. Representatives hosted a Q & A panel and preview of upcoming toy releases, and Hasbro displayed several of the Pony Project ponies. Featured guests included Kirk Hindman, a Pony sculptor for Hasbro in the 1980s, and Grace Garcia, a pony sculptor for Hasbro in the 2000s. Kirk displayed many prototypes, wax models, and an original factory mold.
A special tour of Hasbro Headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island was offered to a pre-registered group of collectors on Friday, June 20th. Bonnie Zacherle, creator of My Little Pony, gave a presentation on the creation of the line. She brought her original prototypes, and Hasbro displayed many original artwork samples. Collectors were also offered a glimpse of how the toys go from concept to reality, featuring the creation of the G3 Ponyville Amusement Park. Each tour guest received a "swag bag" containing a pony from the upcoming "Core 7 Best Friends" line and a silver 25th anniversary pin.
