OK, nobody tell my kid about ~renegadecow’s “Applejack’s Apple Harvest” My Little Pony automata. Nine days left on eBay, bids open at $200:
No pony appreciates a good days work more than Applejack. She loves the hard-earned life so much that she doesn’t even look like she’s working at all! Of course, not everybody is gifted with the talent for apple bucking. It’s also an untold mystery as to how she can send each and every single apple into a bushel with nary a one touching the ground. But I think her ever faithful, canine companion Winona has rooted that secret out. That or she’s on the lookout for bad apples.The figures, stand, tree and bushel are carved out of Philippine mahogany while the gears and apples are made out of Narra hardwood. They’re painted in enamel and protected by clear flat lacquer. Applejack stands at 5 1/8″ tall (with her hat down) while the entire complete piece measures 11 3/4″ high, 9 1/2″ long, and 3 1/2″ wide. It took 161 hours to complete.
