# Pop Culture Cross-Breeding My Little Storm Trooper and More By Cowbag | Published 2008-09-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-little-storm-trooper-cross-breeding-toys-with-movies References: [blog.makezine](http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/09/my_little_pony_modded.html) & [spippo.deviantart](http://spippo.deviantart.com/gallery/) My Little Storm Trooper comes from the deviantART gallery user named Spippo. There are a number of particularly creative cross-breeds in the gallery--I love the [Stars Wars ones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2) in particular. Other movie-themed ponies include Heath Ledger's Joker character (on second edition), My Little Alien and My Little Predator. **Implications** - Take a trip back to your childhood with these fun-loving and seriously made-over versions of your favorite toys! If I were able to customize any toy, I would have nowhere to start. [My Little Pony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-little-pony-friendship) was definitely popular amongst my friends and I, and this is definitely an adorable re-make. Spippo does [personalized work on commission](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funko-pop-yourself), so you could essentially have a ‘My Little’ version of just about anything you want.
