# Custom My Little Pony's Alternative Toy Pimping by Spippo By Cecilia Biemann | Published 2008-10-01 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alternative-toys-custom-my-little-ponys References: [lifelounge](http://www.lifelounge.com/My-Little-Pony-Deviant-Art.aspx) If you just can't face another pretty, pink plastic pony with sparkly glitter detail, then these custom My Little Pony's may be the toys for you. With no love hearts or rainbows in sight, Scandinavian-based alternative artist Spippo has been busy pimping My Little Pony's into [superheros and movie characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-comiccon). From Darth Vader and Princess Leia to Edward Scissorhands and Alucard Hellsing, her collection is blockbuster. My personal favourites are [Catwoman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-high-skullector-elvira) (who knew a pony could be sexy?) and the Joker (eerie). The artist takes orders and will make you a custom My Little Pony based on whatever weird request you might have.
