I will take commissions for these so if the one you want is gone, I'll make you another one but I won't be able to have it done and out before Christmas.

Yum Yum and Nom Nom
Yum Yum likes to make special candy for the ponies. One hot summer day, she flew to a cloud and gathered cool raindrops. Excited to help, Nom Nom, her kitty friend, gathered stardust and rainbow dew. When Yum Yum mixed the stardust, the rainbow dew and the raindrops, the drops turned into colorful candy! Yum Yum and Nom Nom nibbled the cool candies in the warm sun, delighted with all the delicious flavors in the magical candy.

Merriweather and Berriweather
One of Merriweather's favorite things is to go on summer picnics. So, one day she her panda pal, Berriweather, packed a basket of snacks and went to the prettiest field in Ponyland. As Merriweather opened the picnic basket, a dark cloud floated by and began to rain on them! Merriweather winked at the cloud and the raindrops turned into tiny rainbows! "What a beautiful day for a picnic!" she and Berriweather laughed, nibbling slices of watermelon.

Bonnie Bonnets and Bunny Bonnets
One summer day, Bonnie Bonnets and her friend Bunny Bonnets tended their lovely flower garden. They pulled weeds and planted new blooms, singing softly all the while. As the afternoon went on, the sun became hotter and hotter. “Oh no!” exclaimed Bunny. “It’s so hot that all the flowers are wilting!” Bonnie Bonnets said “Don’t worry! I have just the thing in my potting shed!” She galloped away and swiftly returned with a packet of seeds. Bonnie spread the seeds all over the garden and almost instantly, they began to grow! The two friends cheered and laughed because now, the new seeds had bloomed into tiny bonnets that shaded the flowers in the garden.

Up Up and Away and Pup Pup and Away
Up, Up and Away was so busy tying bunches of white balloons to a big basket that she didn't notice her puppy pal watching her. "What are you making?" Pup, Pup and Away asked her curiously. "It's a surprise!" Up, Up and Away answered her friend with a giggle. "Hop in," she told him as she finished attaching the last balloon. She blinked her eyes and the basket rose high into the sky. Then Up, Up and Away wiggled her nose and the basket soared over Ponyland! Pup, Pup and Away laughed and cheered, enjoying the ride. As Up, Up and Away flew the white balloons higher, a rainbow gently brushed the basket and the balloons turned into all the colors of the rainbow for her and her puppy pal to enjoy!

Sweet Tooth and Poppycock
Early one morning, Sweet Tooth and Poppycock followed a sunbeam to a field of magical flowers. They gathered colorful powder from the flower petals and hurried back to their kitchen. "What a surprise this will be!" Sweet Tooth giggled as she sprinkled the powder on her latest batch of homemade lollipops. Just then, their friends appeared at the door. "I smell lollipops," Bangles smiled. Strange things began to happen as the ponies licked the lollipops! "My lollipop is filled with my favorite strawberry taffy!" Taffy cried. "Mine turned into a basket of balloons!" Up, Up, and Away exclaimed. "Look- my lollipop burst into a candy necklace," Bangles laughed as she placed it around her neck. “And mine became a cape to protect my feathers!” called Poppycock. Then Sweet Tooth blinked her eyes and her own lollipop bloomed into a forest of lollipop trees! This was Sweet Tooth's best batch of lollipops yet!

Night Glider and Night Owl
One evening, Night Glider gave a midnight party. She and Night Owl lit hundreds of candles in the Dream Castle courtyard. When the ponies arrived, Night Glider blinked her eyes to make twinkling stars dance in the sky. "It looks like we are in a world of stars!" the ponies exclaimed as they marveled at the dazzling night sky and the sparkling candlelight. As Mr. Moon sang a lullaby, the ponies waltzed with the glittering stars and soft candle glow until Mr. Sun smiled in the sky. Night Owl flew into the sky and sprinkled stardust on the ponies to give them sweet dreams, as the sleepy ponies slipped into their beds.

Fifi and Kiki
Kiki was so excited to visit all her friends in Ponyland one sunny morning. She gave each of the ponies a note that read, "Come to the Pony Perm Shoppe for a special surprise!" "What's the surprise, Kiki?" all the ponies asked but Kiki wouldn't tell! All the ponies went to the Perm Shoppe and Fifi came out with fabulous curls tumbling down her back. The ponies eagerly entered the shop, peeking in the rooms for their surprise. Fifi and Kiki smiled mischievously at their curious friends. Then, Fifi began to wash Bonnie Bonnets’ hair. Next, she sprayed Bonnie Bonnets’ hair with a mysterious solution from a glistening bottle and rolled her hair in curlers. In just a few minutes, she unrolled her hair and combed it out. "What gorgeous curls!" cried Sugarberry. "They're just a beautiful as Fifi's!" cried Buttons. "Surprise!" cried Fifi with delight. "Introducing Fifi's Fashion Foam!" The other ponies could hardly wait for their turn to use Fifi's Fashion Foam and see what spectacular results it would bring!

Sugarberry and Sugarbury
"Let's pick berries for my berry pie," Sugarberry said to her best friend, Sugarbury, one sunny afternoon. They donned their straw hats and skipped to the big berry patch behind the Waterfall. Sugarberry just couldn't resist nibbling a few berries as she picked them off the bushes. "Let's take a rest," Sugarbury urged, standing beneath a shady tree. When they compared their berry baskets, Sugarbury's basket was full but Sugarberry's was almost empty. "You ate all your berries!" Sugarbury giggled to his friend. The rainbow heard their conversation and sprinkled a few colorful raindrops on the bushes. Suddenly, the drops burst into beautiful pink, yellow, green and blue berries! Sugarberry picked the berries as fast as she could, filling her basket to the top! "These berries will make the prettiest pies ever!" she said happily.

Sundance and Sonny
Every day is a "sunny side up" day to Sundance and Sonny! Brave and beautiful Sundance and her spirited canine companion Sonny love to go where the rainbow takes them... in search of new friends and exciting adventures! The colorful rainbow reaches down and then carries them up, up... all the way up to the Dream Castle. While visiting all their pony friends, Sundance and Sunny enjoy sharing fun stories and good times.

Milky Way and Little Dipper
"What a rainy day," Little Dipper sighed, peering at the grey sky above. "We need something to get rid of these nasty clouds." Milky Way had an idea! She touched a puddle with her horn and the rain suddenly burst into a glowing arch of silver stars! "It looks like a stairway to the sky!" Little Dipper exclaimed as his friend carried him up the path, leaving a trail of stardust behind them. Even the sun beamed with extra light, giving everything a sparkling glow. When all the grey clouds left, Milky Way and Little Dipper waltzed down the stars to the ground. As dusk fell over Ponyland, Milky Way tapped the path with her unicorn, filling the sky with shooting stars that lit up the sky. It was a lovely night indeed.

Munchy and Pickles
Munchy awoke very early one morning. It was the day she was having a picnic for all her friends and she had a lot to do! She and Pickles, her very best friend, cooked and decorated all day long until all the Little Ponies arrived in the meadow. “It smells so delicious!” the ponies exclaimed. “What have you made for us, Munchy?” “Well,” she said, “it is something very special. I hope you like it.” “Tell us, tell us!” The ponies shouted in delight. Munchy smiled while Pickles brought out a huge tray filled with veggie burgers, soybean hotdogs, and wheat buns covered in sesame seeds. “Hooray!” the ponies cheered. “Munchy has the very best picnics in Ponyland!”

Pillow Talk and Bedbug
“Let’s have a slumber party!” Pillow Talk exclaimed to her friend Bedbug. “I'll call and invite our friends. We'll have popcorn! We can play games, watch silly movies, listen to music, and braid our hair!” Pillow Talk went on excitedly. "Tell everyone to bring their sleeping bag and nightcaps!" buzzed bedbug. "I'll bake the cookies!" All the Little Ponies and their animal pals had a wonderful time at the sleep-over and couldn't wait until Pillow Talk and Bedbug hosted another party!

Love Melody and Love Meowldy
Love Melody likes to give fancy parties and tonight promised to be the grandest celebration of all! She decorated the courtyard of the Dream Castle with tall vases of flowers and satin ribbons that swayed in the breeze. In the center of the yard was a wishing well. As each guest arrived, her friend Love Meowldy gave them all a tiny heart-shaped pebble. "Drop this in the wishing well when you hear the clock chime three times!" she told the guests. Everyone was having so much fun sipping cherry punch, talking to Love Melody and dancing to the music that the three musical chimes took them by surprise. Following Love Meowldy's instructions, they tossed the pebbles into the wishing well. Suddenly, giant fireworks exploded from the wishing well, filling the sky with magnificent colors that spelled out the name of each guest. The ponies cheered at the beautiful sight!

Scoops and Sprinkles
"Strawberry, vanilla and chocolate chip, too! Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe has sweet treats for you!" chanted Scoops happily as she got ready for opening day at the Sweet Shoppe. She knew her pony friends always enjoyed her delicious ice cream desserts. But when she opened the door to the ship, no ponies were in sight! "They don't know the ship is open!" exclaimed Sprinkles as he swooped past Scoops. "Mint, rocky road and sorbet! Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe is open today!" Sprinkles called as he flew through the meadows of Ponyland. The ponies reared and cheered and followed the pelican back to the shop. "Roseberry ice cream with rainbow gumdrops, please!" cried Yum Yum to Scoops. "A hot fudge sundae with strawberry ice cream for me," said Milky Way. "Hooray for Scoops and the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe!" cried the ponies as they nibbled their treats.

Dancing Butterflies and Dancing Butterfeathers
Mr. Sun raised his sleepy head when Dancing Butterflies entered the enchanted forest to practice her newest ballet routine. "It's so quiet here," she thought as she donned her slippers, about to try a very difficult dance step. The leaves on the trees cast a magical shadow that looked just like a curtain rising above a stage. Dancing Butterflies took a deep breath and stepped high above the ground as if she was walking on air! She spun around- faster and faster- until her yellow mane wrapped around her like a lace shawl. "You did it," a little voice called. "You're as graceful as a butterfly!" Dancing Butterflies looked up to see her best friend, Butterfeathers. Just then, the wind whistled a sweet melody that started her whirling and twirling again. "Come join me," she said to Butterfeathers, who was already following her lead.

Buttons and Cute and a Button
Buttons loves to decorate her dresses with beautiful buttons. One night, when all the ponies were asleep, she and Cute as a Button decorated Ponyland with a basket of buttons. In the morning, the ponies looked outside their windows and were delighted to see buttons glittering in fluffy clouds and twinkling in trees. Buttons sewed colorful buttons on her friends' clothes while Cute as a Button wove buttons in their hair to finish their unusual decorations!

To answer questions that have been posted and sent to my PM box...

TAF custom ponies come with an animal friend (commission orders may get a different animal than the one shown), a replication backcard that includes a story about the pony and their friend, and instructions/care tips sheet.

Holiday offer of $50 which INCLUDES shipping in the US. Buyers outside the US will have to contribute more for shipping.

Yes, I will take payments! I request that you send payments either as a "gift" option or include a little bit more to cover multiple fees. For payment in installments, we would agree on a pay schedule and final payment date.

Yes, I will take commissions! If you have your heart set on a TAF that is already sold, I'll make you another one! I have most of the Earth pose baits already in stock. Harder to find earthling, pegasus, and unicorn baits would require that you secure the bait and send it on to me. I will give around a $3 discount for supplying one of those baits.

Yes, I will take commissions for other light up ponies. TAF-type ponies work the best for this kind of customization.

The lights are run off of 2 C batteries. Each pony has had her hoof magnet removed and the cord to power them is run through the bottom of that foot. The battery pack is outside of the pony and has a switch that allows you to turn the lights on and off.

wow. they are amazing! you did an awesome job!!
 
Pillowtalk is my fav! I would love a custom of her in just that pose! I am not a fan of the lights myself, but they are well done!
 
Wow, these are all amazingly done! I see so many I'd love to have! Bet you're glad to be done though aren't you? XD
 
I LOVE THEM! They are the cutest little herd! And the lights are a great twist, and so well executed! This is such an exciting project - I can't wait to show my niece :)
 
I have seen every one of these in person (and named a few of the LPS buddies!) and they are amazing! Every one of them is as true to the original as can be, the lights are each inserted carefully and securely, and I know hours of hard work went into each pony.

Aadra, you should be so proud of yourself! :yippie:
 
HOMG *grabbyhands* They are fantabulous! (So good they needed a new descriptive word) Are you selling them at all (individually / separately)? I would love to get my hands on a Merriweather!
 
Wow. My jaw literally dropped when I saw the pictures. These are absolutely amazing!
 
Holy smokes! No words can describe these beauties! Woah! All lookin' so fancy and flawless..amazing..these babies light up!
 
*picks jaw up off floor* :clap: :::cheer:::
 
Thanks for all the nice words, everybody!

Well, due to interest, I'm toying with the idea of selling/taking commission orders on the TAF series. I'm a little unsure what to price them at so any ideas on that would be appreciated.

I believe someone asked the cost of making one. The lights, power source, batteries, hair, and bait total $10-$12 per pony just for those basic materials costs so I'll have to keep that cost in mind when coming up with prices.

Milky Way is sold. Pillow Talk ended up being my favorite so I'm keeping her but if somebody wants one and has the bait, I'll make another!

TAF ponies come with an animal friend (commission orders may get a different animal than the one shown), a replication backcard that includes a story about the pony and their friend, and instructions/care tips sheet.
Commission orders: I currently have some baits but the harder to find poses, unicorns, and pegasus ponies may require that you supply the bait.

Any feedback on appropriate pricing would be much appreciated!
Thank you all so much!

Oh my goodness these are amazing!!!

I would be very interested in the light-up Scoops if you are going to sell her....
 
Oh wait, let me practice my shocked face....

Shush, you. ;)

Commission Aadra for your very own Milky Way. She LOVES painting tiny stars and then applying layers of microscopic glitter!
 
No I think I'm going to try and harass her for a Tunefull... her symbol would translate well to lights =D
