I didn't know until today that there is a whole artistic subculture of folks who make a hobby of modifying My Little Pony dolls. They fabricate costumes, alter body shapes, and otherwise hack these miniature dolls in a way that I can only describe as, "GRM".

Edward Scissorhands

Predator

Stormtrooper

Other Star Wars characters

This one is supposed to be the Joker from Batman, but I think it looks more like the dude from The Cure:

Please see the "this E36 M3 is just creepy" thread...as in, the guys respnsible for modding little girls toys must be creepy as E36 M3, and drive panel vans with no windows, and keep lots of bait candy on hand...

...weeeelllllll...maybe the predator one is pretty cool

that thread is TOTALLY why I was inspired to make this thread. I found these ponies and then read that barbie doll thread and thought, "these GRM folks might be interested in the clusterberkeley I just found today."

Wait... I drive this thing. I sometimes don't have any candy at all.

It's like a grown man making dollhouse furniture.

And this is different than making elaborate model trains or cars how?

My friends use to tease me because I painted "D&D"( it was actually WarHammer fantasy) and made mini doll houses for them. Until one day I showed them exactly what I had made. Its a 2' x 4' scene with LED lit blue river section poured in layers with hand made tiny fish swiming and various other river stuff like felled trees and lilly pads, an LED lid scale still with flicker effect for the fire, scale stick build home with LED lighting, working cranked and counter waited draw bridge. working cranked well with scale bucket made like a real bucked.

As weird as this is it takes some skill to mod my little ponies.

If you were making model cars or trains from human feces - that would be creepy.

My mom used to work in a nursing home as a teenager, the very first day she went into work she met one of the old folks she'd be taking care of, an apparently very proper British lady. She says "hello dear, I have a gift for you," opens a drawer, and displays a very finely crafted apple made of human feces. It had all the detail in the stem and leaf and everything x_x

A friend of mine on FB said I owed her a pony, so I posted a picture of a My Little Pony and in the process fell down the rabbit hole.

Guilty.

Although in reality it was to help my g/f flesh out the product line for a show she was going to. She can make some really nice stuff when she feels like it:

Used to make dollhouse furniture and miniture rooms but ran out of space for that hobby so now I just build cars. Always wanted to to a miniture garage.
