FULL-VIEW IS *NOT* DIAL-UP FRIENDLY!!

After doing custom ponies of Stargate SG-1's Daniel and Vala [link] it was only a matter of time before I did my fave Stargate Atlantis characters -- especially since I helped host the Stargate "Small Toy Magic" customising panel at Dragon*Con this year! You can see more of my custom Stargate ponies here: [link]

And you can see the reaction of several of the Stargate actors here: [link] (photos) and here: [link] (video by snarklover)

I almost didn't make these, though -- I didn't have any Big Brother ponies left, and the G3s just didn't seem right for them to me. Then it struck me one day that Baby Cuddles made me think of McKay for some reason. The idea of Baby Northstar as Sheppard immediately followed. (Well, he is a flyboy, so of course he has to have wings!) They're like mischievous children together anyway!

For both ponies, I obviously wanted the Pegasus patch on one side, like I had the SG-1 patch on both Daniel and Vala. I gave them both the Stargate "A" as a cutie mark too, just as I did on Daniel & Vala.

For McKay, I coloured his mane & tail as brown as I could, but I didn't have a brown marker anymore (just terra cotta), so it's more red than I would like. For his other symbol, I decided on a lightbulb, the symbol for inspired ideas and invention, and E=mc2, to denote his genuis. I gave him my fave McKay shirt, the v-neck blue one with the black stripes under the arms. I coloured his eyes with a sparkly blue pen. Around his neck is the "personal shield device" from the ep "Hide & Seek" -- it's made of glue gun wax, cut, then coloured with green marker. I stole the laptop from my Willow figure and drew the pegasus logo on it, like the laptops on the show have.

For Sheppard, I decided that, since the man is always wearing black shirts and dark grey slacks and jackets, I'd make his body dark grey and give him a black shirt. And I coloured his hair with a black marker. For his other symbol, I gave him an Air Force logo. And he's "wearing" dogtags. I made a pair of sunglasses out of paper, but they don't stay on all that well. XD (Really, I could have sworn I had a small toy pair or three but couldn't find *any* when I looked! Argh.)
