Custom Blu-Ray Case


This... this is amazing. I want this to be real and official right this second.

This comes to us from Shane O. Clearly a lot of work went into this. If only he had sent higher-quality photos so I could ogle his work properly.

Three more after the break!

WANT. Want so bad IT HURTS.

Captain British said...

I am jealous of his access to a BluRay burner :(

Wow...Just wow.That's amazing.

Themasterofb said...

I want this right now.

Fire2box said...

And here I am with 720 episodes burnt onto DVD's marked with sharpies. :(

ZAquanimus said...

I saw only the picture at first and squeed.

MAKE IT SO, HASBRO

Please, make it so.

VFX Kid said...

I find a large amount of win to be emanating from this.

ToonNinja said...

Ah, to dream of such proper epicosity.

Skythe said...

I'd totally buy that.

Fengor said...

Awesome as this is I think we all know that the real thing won't look half as awesome but twice as embarrassingly girly.

Shane O. said...

I'm working on a 6 disc version that includes the season on 4 discs with the two Blu-rays, so the other ponies can be on a disc. I'll send higher quality pictures of that when I'm done!

I could so dig this.

Here is an example of how not to do a cover art.

Shane O. said...

Sorry, it's 2 Blu-rays and 4 DVD's, I mean.

I honestly wish it was in higher quality. It would be fun to use for a homemade DVD. Actually, this would almost be a fun contest idea... see who can design the most interesting season 1 DVD case.

At least until we find out if they'll ever release it for real.

PinkiePieFan said...

Woaahhhhh!
I wish it were real!
and I had my bluray back.
anyways, really good job! Though I think it would look WAY cooler with a REAL episode picture in the cover. ;)

Marcoooootje1 said...

I thought about doing this a while ago ^^

SkyrimOrBust said...

@ Shane O. Would you be willing to make and sell the cases? I think it would be illegal to sell the actual disks but we could make our own.

Aquaman52 said...

I love how Hasbro keeps actually paying people to make their merchandise.

All they really have to do is get on ED and start asking, "Hey, would any of you guys be willing to make a-", only to have us interrupt with, "ALREADY DONE. GIVE US MORE PONIES."

Matva said...

Words can not describe the awesomeness :D

Anonymous said...

I don't think it would look cooler PinkiePieFan, but it also wouldn't mislead me into thinking it was an epic, feature length pony film, which by the way, NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

Sonic Rainblast said...

That's so cool! I can imagine high sales for this product if it was real. Very high sales.

crazyredemu said...

Make the print out available and then we could use a discarded dvd or bluray cases we already have for when they do come out on dvd...unless Hasbro does it right and makes an alternate case for us Bronies (girly one for the little girls and an epic one for us...the collecter nerd in me would want both)

Ubergeek said...

Agreed. If the first season actually does get released, I will buy it and then print out this cover to replace it.

Do you have a higher-quality image of the cover, because that would be amazing. Sorry that we're asking so much of you, but you single-handedly did something totally awesome.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. I didn't know how badly I wanted Blu-Ray ponies until now.

@Aquaman52
Your comment just made my day!

Anonymous said...

My heart is almost dead now, thanks. Anyways great work!

Fennec said...

Would you be able to make this available for download? I would love to have this on my media shelf!

Anonymous said...

God damn it Shane. Why are you SO AWESOME!?

TenchiFreak5 said...

I saw this on ED,
Something I want to own so bad.
But it doesn't really exist,
And now I feel only sad.




That was actually unintentional at first, but when I noticed it I said screw it and went all out.

I want this... masterpiece.

Any chance you can tell us what it says on the back? =3

Shane O. said...

@Anonymous "Get your muzzle out of those books and make some friends!" That's what Princess Celestia tells Twilight Sparkle. She may be the smartest unicorn in Equestria, but Twilight Sparkle gets an "incomplete" in friendship. There's more to life than learning magic, after all -- so she goes to Ponyville on a mission to make friends. There she meets five special ponies who taker her on exciting adventures and teach her the most powerful magic of all ... the magic of friendship!

Fachsenbude said...

These lazy bustard from Hasbro don't have to do anything. They only have to go to the community and ask, after 5 min they have cover, posters, etc. .
Great job with the cover and disks, it even has space for our big age symbols.

Killsteal_Wolf said...

Though the actual blu-ray might not have box-art that looks as good as this... we at least HAVE something to replace it with in it's place now.

We just need a printable version for when the Blu-Ray does arrive.

Tears of a valedictorian said...

This is the moment when I realised that, even though there might be series I objectively rank higher, Simpsons and The Wire etc, this is the only show where I would watch every. single. commentary. and. extra. on. the. dvd.

Wheelworld said...

If people that had never heard of the show before saw that on the shelf, they would expect an epic show where ponies went on epic quests. then get a show where they learn the magic of friendship instead.

"lol u mad consumer?"

The clash between the style of the animation and the style of the background picture gives it a sort of Chinese bootleg look to it. But it is very neat nonetheless.

If only.

Please, Hasbro. Please.

DAMN! I still don't have a Blu-ray-player.
Lots of want anyway!

Shut up and take my money!!!

Star Gazer said...

I love that one image used, I need to get it back as my desktop's background image again. The design is superb btw... Looks absolutely beautiful!

I wish they'd hurry up and announce DVD / blu ray boxsets soon cause I really want one!

I so want that. Hasbro seriously need to release a Official Blue Ray of Season One, they would make millions.

Firleycat said...

Not a bad cover, I always had the feeling that the box set for the series would be shaped like the book from the first episode.

How did you get the images on the disks? I've always wondered how they were put on. Do you need some kind of machine or a special type of sticker or something

Shane O. said...

@Firleycat Memorex maked CD Labels, I just use a program to print them and used a label puncher to put them on the physical discs.

Kelleth said...

I hope this is giving the few people who actually work on the series and go to this blog ideas. Because that's one epic cover :D

Anonymous said...

The amount of my WANT cannot be represented in any known methods...This NEEDS to HAPPEN!

Anonymous said...

Needs more pink. ;)

Kapten-N said...

I hope everyone at Hasbro follow this blog.

Anonymous said...

Actually I'm not keen on it. It looks like it's trying to be too artsy and doesn't really capture the show very well. The rear side is spot on but the front lacks focus.

BlackWidower said...

So, um...where can one get the assets so they could make print it up themselves?

Daniel said...

@Aquaman52

This is truth. We totally would. There's 3D renders of everypony already that look like the toys should.

RedEnchilada said...

If/when Hasbro does the boxset, they need to hold a contest to get fanart into the packaging.

It worked with the SatAM boxset; why not this?

Aaron said...

I own 19 fantabulous gigabytes of pony in HD

perhaps I need to put them on blu-ray.

Anonymous said...

I want a MLP:FIM DVD NOW and I want it loaded with behind-the-scenes extras!!!! A history of the toy line and an interview with Lauren Faust are MUSTS!!!!
