Fans of the Hasbro My Little Pony collection who for whatever reason was never able to connect with a single character will be pleased to learn that they can now create their own. Part of a new initiative that puts the design process in the hands of 'Super Fans,' the toy company has teamed up with Shapeways to allow people to create their own pony.
A unique concept that allows customers to be part of the Hasbro My Little Pony family in a much more intimate and hands on way, the SuperFanArt program will incorporate other collections in the near future. For now, however, artists and fans will focus on this particular line. Of course, their creations will be carefully approved and curated by Hasbro.
