UK PonyCONLINE PlushieCon Online
Group Pictures, Statistics and some general info.

Here are the results for PlushieCon Online at the UK PonyCONLINE on June 13th, 2020!

First, without any further ado, the total number of plushies: 529 plushies were submitted by 32 owners!

Here is a downsized preview image in 900 * 507 pixels. Clicking on this image will take you to the large-sized image - caution, the full size means 9.000 * 5.062 pixels with 6,03 MB :

Creating this virtual PlushieCon picture was a bit like playing Tetris... didn't completely fit, there are some gaps left. I had to downsize most of the images sent to us to fit them all in one single picture, and I couldn't make the picture any larger because my old computer hardware can't handle more, it just would make the software crash because of too few RAM.

So, which pictures did I use? I used plushie group pictures when sent in - in most cases, that is; there are one or two registrations where I chose single plush pictures instead because they showed the plushies better. Some registrations consisted of just one plushie anyway. - And I will confess: there are way more than 529 plushies on this "mass picture", the total number should be around 900 or more. How so? Well, to make it fit, I had some gaps left on the lower end of the picture, this didn't look nice - so I added pictures of not counted plushies that were submitted to us to close these gaps, to make a neat whole picture. I'll explain later on. Besides, some plushies are to be seen on more than one picture, if sometimes only in the background.

I reckon many people are interested in how many plushies of which character are present, right? I'll put the detailed list into the spoiler box, just click on it to open it and see the detailed list. Names without a number behind them mean: this character was present only once.

Total: 529 plushies

Alright... earlier, I wrote something about uncounted plushies. There have been two submissions that contained of photos only, but without giving us a checklist of which plushies should be on them. The first is a submission of roughly about 300 (yes, that's right: three hundred!) plushies, the owner doesn't have a list of all his plushies on his own. Counting them out on our own just by the pictures is practically impossible, and in his collection, there are many non-MLP plushies, too. But why rejecting these pictures instead of showing them? Such a massive plush collection needs to be seen by the world So we decided to use and show the pictures, just treat the plushies on them as "uncounted" - that means they don't appear in the statistics. - The second registration was a picture we got linked from Twitter. Again, there was no list of the plushies submitted with the registration. I tried to count them on my own since this time, there aren't that much plushies, but had to find soon enough that there are several characters I don't know the names of. Maybe they are mascots that I don't recognize, maybe they are personal OCs, maybe they are even show characters that I don't recognize from the picture (yes, shame on me, I know... )... why yes, I could have contacted the owner, but you see, I just didn't find the time. Besides, this registration was made after the official end of the registration on June 6th anyway, so I decided to treat the plushies on this picture as uncounted, too - For the final picture: it's from none other than Bexi, your UK PonyCONLINE host this weekend, herself As a long-time MLP fan and collector, she doesn't have just G4 (FiM) plushies but G1 (the big ones) and G2 (the little beanies) plushies as well. Truth is, she offered to give me the names (because I'm not much of an expert for the older generations), but since I had to prepare everything in advance (because of my real life job), and both she and I had been VERY busy the last days before UK PonyCONLINE, I decided to treat these plushies as uncounted, too. - In the list above, you find two other counted G3 plushies: they are on a picture together with G4 characters, so it was fairly easy to figure out.

So, here's the second group picture, this time of the uncounted plushies. Clicking on the preview picture gets you to the large-sized one: this time, it's 4.500 * 2.532 pixels and 1,41 MB of file size.

That's all for the written and, as of now, downloadable part of PlushieCon Online at UK PonyCONLINE on June 13th, 2020 A recording of the stream itself should become available pretty soon, I'll post it as a reply here as soon as it is available.

For now, thank you all for your interest, for watching, reading and submitting your plushie pictures!


... PS: if someone wonders why I "abuse" a forum for a publication like this...

Spoiler (Öffnen)

It's simple: because I don't have a website, and even if I had one, I couldn't use it, I never learned it. This forum here is provided by our chief engineer Lux, it was originally created as a pure work-only forum in the early days of PlushieCon. Lux soon removed the "Register" button because this forum was never meant for public registration; as a work forum, we create and activate accounts only for the people who need to access it and need the rights to answer in here. Yes, one could guess the registration sub-site without much effort, but new accounts still need to be activated manually by us, so: no "just making an account" About two to three times a week, professional spammers do create accounts, but can't make any use of them: of course, we don't activate but instead just delete them

Now, having a PlushieCon Online is a totally new situation, for all of us. Usually, I just post the statistics and links to pictures or videos or news articles after a PlushieCon, but for now, we needed sort of a platform. But you see, we all at the team still have our everyday lives, we still have our jobs to do, households to keep up with... - so, plain and simple, no one feels like learning how to create and maintain a professional website, let alone even paying for its hosting or a domain - that's why I said: we just use the publicly accessible area of the forum to post everything about PlushieCon Online; it doesn't may look as fancy as a real website, but it gets the important information published.

Nothing more to it

UK PonyCONLINE PlushieCon Online
Group Picture and Statistics.

Here are the results for PlushieCon Online at the UK PonyCONLINE: Britannia's Spooky Sleepover on October 10th, 2020!

First of all, the total number of plushies: 642 plushies were submitted by 23 owners!

Here is a downsized preview image in 882 * 426 pixels. Clicking on this image will take you to the large-sized image - caution, the full size means 8.824 * 4.264 pixels with 12,43 MB :

Creating this virtual PlushieCon picture was a bit like playing Tetris... didn't completely fit, there are some gaps left. Most of the images are downsized to maintain the proportions of the plushies - one plushie filling half the screen surrounded by seemingly mid-sized and small plushies, some plushies, altough in reality not that small, appearing to be tiny, would look just... strange to put it friendly

For this whole PlushieCon Online, I tried to use every picture submitted to us at least once, be it for this "gathering together" pic here or during the presentation - or for both. For the group picture, I did what I could not to "clone" plushies, that means every physical plushie should appear only once.


I reckon many people are interested in how many plushies of which character are present, right? I'll put the detailed list into the spoiler box, just click on it to open it and see the detailed list. Names without a number behind them mean: this character was present only once.

Darf ich hier den Livestream Link posten?
Ich bin so frei.

Zitat:Uh. Ich sehe schon einen Fabrikmitarbeiter.

Nicht schlecht. ^^

Zur freundlichen Beachtung: In der Feedback-Diskussion 2019 kam die Anregung, pro Besitzer nur eine begrenzte Anzahl an Plushies zuzulassen und/oder industriell hergestellte Plushies nicht mehr anzunehmen. Beschränkungen dieser Art werden wir 2022 NICHT umsetzen. Denn: weder wissen wir, wieviele Besucher überhaupt kommen (man bedenke: zwei Jahre Corona und jetzt die Inflation allerorten, wer kann schon sagen, wie viele Leute sich das teure GalaCon-Wochenende überhaupt noch leisten können... ), wie viele Plushies sie mithaben werden (in den 800 von 2019 waren ja etwa 130 von einem einzelnen Besitzer; ob dieser die logistische Herausforderung des Transports überhaupt nochmal auf sich nimmt, wissen wir auch nicht), wie allgemein die Bedingungen sind - das sind zu viele Faktoren, die eine sinnvolle Vorhersage unmöglich machen. Deshalb haben wir beschlossen, eben NICHT schon im Vorfeld Einschränkungen aufzubauen, sondern erst mal "wie früher" alles laufen zu lassen und dann nach aktueller Situation vor Ort zu entscheiden, wie genau wir vorgehen.

2019 gab es genau 908 Anmeldungen (sowohl Voranmeldungen als auch die vor Ort), von denen dann 800 tatsächlich "eingelöst" wurden. Sollten vor der GalaCon 1000 Plushies vorangemeldet werden, behalten wir uns vor, eine Anmeldung erst vor Ort nicht zu ermöglichen, damit alle vorangemeldeten Plushies die Chance haben, tatsächlich dabei zu sein, ohne daß wir vorher wegen Überfüllung die Annahme schließen müssen.
