My Little Pony Talk

Yes we have the honor having one of the designers of some of the greatest ponys and playsets we know and love from the orginal 1980's G1 collection on our show. Was inducted in the the Pony Hall of Fame during the 2016 MLP fair yes we have the one the only Ruth Bush. worked at Hasbro from 1985 thru 1987. She even worked on the unreleased Flutter Hideaway playset. Originally hired to create the MLP packaging line. The package design had been coordinated by girl’s toys but farmed out to freelancers which cost them a great deal. As a designer she gathered prototypes, penciled accurate layouts to include all details of the line, small parts warnings copyrights etc. Due to the number of products being produced per year, she developed a relationship with the model shop and often painted prototypes in order to keep on scheduling. Creating color comps for toy fair and final approval to help determine final product . Attended photoshoots with product to follow packaging layouts. Similarly, due to work load, she started illustrating labels for playsets, and R&D offered me a position in girl’s toys creating pony extensions and playsets. Join us as we interveiw her and hear about the unreleased Flutter Hideaway. Also join us for our wacky conversations. Also if we continue to be off topic we will change the topic of the show to reflect that. Also we don't take random callers, now random callers are people whom we have not invited to be on the show, or do not message us to tell us who they are and if we have had them on the show before, due to the issues we have had with random people in the chat rooms who were inappropriate. This is a live show and we can not edit anything out that is said. We keep this a family friendly show and want to keep it that way.
