Neat Lego Model Ideas + Discussion


Someone over on the Lego website recently built these 3d model pony lego ideas.  Sadly, they aren't real, but the thought is there! These in particular are based off of the KP Shadow Squirrel's that have been floating around all over the place. 

The actual mechanics seem like they would work even without legos.  You guys do have some pretty wild OC ponies with mismatching parts. I should know, they all invade my inbox!

You can find the page for it here

Now on to the discussion.  What type of merch would you like to see ponies invade?

TIme to pull out my unused but still incredibly large bin of Legos!

DashieBro said...

That's pretty cool!!!

Nykkes64 said...

SWEET PRINCESS CELESTIA!!!!! Lego My Little Pony? They should make that idea for a video game!!!! ^_^

JyndTactica said...

My money Take all of it and put it into R&D.

TheRike42 said...

I want them to invade EVERYTHING. Sadly, I would buy them all, so my wallet disagrees with me.

Yellow 13 said...

Surprised this hasn't actually happened yet.

Xalius said...

Lego ponies?? I might get back to purchasing Lego again if this becomes a reality!

Agile Wings said...

All the merch!
The Lego idea is cool, I can't think of anything else right now, will come back to it.

Mirage Seraph said...

I'm not too thrilled about Lego ponies, I liked Legos when I was a kid, but sponsored Legos just kind of killed it for me... Interesting though.

Hm... I'd kill Pony Flash Drives if those don't already exist. Um. I'd make a horrible sales pitcher.

Bob from Bottles said...

This is exactly the sort of thing I'd buy if they were real.

Graveheart said...

Oh, I'd be all over these if they came out.

James Corck said...

If I see ponies with Lego, I will totally buy them man. I will buy every single box set, I kid you now. I don't care for the price, Lego is freaking awesome and I love it.

As for Ponies invading other brands, why not getting Milton Bradley Pony themed games?

- Monopoly Equestria.
- Battleship: Wonderbolts edition.
- Cluedo: Who knocked Princess Celestia off of her castle?

There's that idea. I wouldn't catter to videogames however, since we have that cover with the iPad apps. Board games and toy sets are the way to go, in my opinion.

JordanRynes said...

Oh no a discussion post! inb4 massive comment flood.

Matoro said...

Hell. Hasbro should of created these Pony mini-figs in their KRE-O line long ago. Y Hasbro taking to long to release MLP Kre-o sets?
I thought I suggested this back in November in EQ in the topic called "What MLP products would you like to see?" and everyone suggested plushies or something.

The Hero Pony said...

Minecraft recently received the okay for Lego sets, so all we need now is 10,00 people to support the Lego Cussoo page! But I doubt that Hasbro would allow it, with them pushing Kreo and everthing.

Brookwood Bronco said...

Derpy's head! It fell off!

Amby said...

Maybe if Lego was not so adamant about splitting up girls and boys when it comes to their sets and then making pathetic attempts to cater to girls, I would buy these if they existed.

S_E_F said...

This will go perfectly with my Minecraft Lego!
Get this on Lego Cuusoo!

Yellow 13 said...

Oh right... Kre-o... which means this will never happen. Or if it does, it will be in knock-off form.

Mike said...

ME GUSTA

However it can't outdo my...

Ohwait, I don't wanna give away my plans yet...

Let's just say it will be awesome.

Mister Twister said...

I want show-accurate.

These are not.

TheMadThinker said...

Plushes, we need plushes.

Zachary D. said...

I love Legos and ponys is a great idea for lego

ddf said...

EVERYBODY SUPPORT IT
IF MINECRAFT CAN GET 10,000, SO CAN WE

WizardWannabe said...

Front legs look a little odd, but I'd buy them.

Mr. Fancy Trousers said...

Cool. Only one complaint: the forehooves look freaking huge, making the ponies look apelike.

GacuT said...

BUY ALL THE SETS!

arrowsofthenlr said...

The amount of want is off the scale. I demand derpy and dr whooves for my ego TARDIS.

please make this happen hasbro

Canvas Wolf Doll said...

i'm hoping for plushies myself. i would also love the lego set suggested here. and, of course, an album of the show songs. i have ten itunes dollars on standby for that very eventuality.

however, in the realm of craziness, i think what would be officially the best possible product would be an official MLP Tabletop RPG. i would buy that line so hard. they could also factor the blindbags into the system!
if given a choice on the matter, i think i'd love to see it as a powered by GURPS rpg (i am a gurps nerd), but i'll take whatever they've got. i just really want a role-pony game.
then we can make a forum for bronies to play the system online!

Reality Check said...

Legos + MLP would be like having a meme squared. It could possibly conquer the world once you got the ball rolling.
And Lego is already in the meme biz (like, mine craft legos) so why not?

Seriously, all it would take to make this a reality is to get half a dozen people in the same room to sign a few licensing agreements. Prototype the model above with a 3D printer and set the ball rolling.
This is exactly the kind of stuff we should be pushing for. Heck, if I had the cash and the connections I'd do this myself. :)

62835fdc-3fb1-11e1-9fc6-000bcdcb2996 said...

Wow, simply wow. When I saw that pic I was like "YES!", then I caught on they weren't real and I was like :-(

Seriously, I love Lego, even though it's been years since I bought any. If this were real I would so be buying them again. So um yeah, Hasbro & Lego get on that, I've got me some money I want to give you.

Ahau said...

I unfortanetly had to get rid of my Legos back when i moved out. It will be neat if they made Lego ponies. Many people will be all over them.

I think we've reached the point where you can ponify anything and somepony will buy it. So far, plushies and show-acurate figurines are the biggest sensation. Cell Phone Accesories will be neat, too. Posters, Laptop covers/bags, show-accurate costumes for the little girls who like the show, music albums...

But i think that a bigger issue Hasbro needs to solve is worldwide distribution. I remember how last year everypony was struggling to get blindbags or special figurines. Some others can't find anything past G3.5 in their stores. And this could be the only thing stopping them to have even bigger profits.

remotecontrolaholic said...

So long as they're show-accurate, this is a great idea.
However, show-accurate plushies would be way better

Reality Check said...

Ok, so I googled and just found out about Hasbro's Kre-o line of toys.
That really begs the question why we don't have MLP kre-os in stores already?

Toa Coy said...

As a long time lego fan, mainly bionicle, I find this to be awesome, I would buy these in a <3 beat.

Lee said...

That is just cool!

Llox said...

....Lego ponies...?
...

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY. @_@

Mike said...

MAKE ACCOUNTS AND SUPPORT THIS, GUYS.

I have done my part.

PwNY said...

SWEET JELLY DONUTS GIVE IT TO ME!

Mike said...

@Mike

JEMC said...

SHUT THE B*CK UP AND B*CKING TAKE MY B*CKING MONEY

ME WAAAAAANTZ LEGO DERPY!!!!

Kyle said...

What I'd like to see is an educational book series. Like "My Little Pony: (pony name) teaches (subject). Illustrated books combining actual education with the hilarious antics and personalities we all love from the show.

Twilight Teaches Math/Science
Pinkie Pie Teaches Baking/Theoretical Physics
Zecora Teaches Chemistry
Applejack Teaches Horticulture
Rarity Teaches Sewing/Small Business Ownership
Fluttershy Teaches Animals and their Care
Rainbow Dash teaches Aerodynamics/Aeronautics
Applebloom teaches drafting
Sweetie Belle teaches computer programming (Witchcraft)
Octavia and Vinyl Scratch teach Music Theory.

Alexaroth said...

I suggest you take this post down and cancel the campaign as well... This idea was dead ever since it was ... imagined. Hasbro and Lego are rival companies and I am sure Lego will not approve of this and I am also sure Hasbro will not give a copyright license to Lego so that they can make the show-like toys :))

Tealhollow said...

I saw lego and flipped out. Take something awesome and legofy it and you pretty much perfect it.

Maybe one day...

JustSomeGuy said...

Oh, why can these be real? D:

Blackbelt said...

I would spend money on Pony legoes.


Just letting you know Hasbro.

3p1c_d3m0n said...

Somepony should make muffin and party canons.
They'd be like air canons, except shoot muffins and confetti.

Topitmunkeydog said...

I ABSOLUTELY NEED THIS OR I WILL EXPLODE
You have no idea how long I have been waiting for someone to suggest this.
BTW you forgot to mention that Cuusoo is a website that you can vote on. Please tell everypony to vote and MAKE THIS A REALITY!!
YESYESYESYESYESYESYES

ponyvangelist said...

I don't buy dolls.

I would buy these.

Soundmonkey44 said...

If Lego makes these, I WILL BUY THEM! I loved legos from the time I was a little kid playing with the big blocks to my mid-teens collecting Bionicle figures. If Lego hopes on the MLP merch train, I would be one happy pony.

Jimperator said...

I would absolutely buy these... Yes, please.

Zoot101 said...

LEGO ponies will never ever happen, but KRE-O ponies are still a possibility. They would be essentially the same as LEGO ones but with cheaper plastic.

Kit said...

Must buy! Muuuuuuuuuuuust buuuuuuuuuuuuy...

FireKatKid said...

That would be the greatest great that ever greated a great greatness, greatly.

It would also make something LEGO related worth buying again. Even if the markup due to being with another name brand would be astronomical as usual. Body part grab bags and preset characters to add to them? I'd be glad to buy em.

Reality Check said...

@Alexaroth Well, Hasbro has been licensing Pinkie Pie to other toy manufacturers already.

And if this peaks on Lego's site it would certainly get the Kre-o people's attention at any rate. :)

So I think we should go vote for it, it's a win-win situation.

Frith said...

Make this: a resin hood-ornament for the car.

You'd probably want to start with Rainbow Dash with her wings spread. I'd be tempted by a Twilight Sparkle with windswept hair, reading a book.

Caboose said...

LEGO ponies will never happen due to Kre-O existing, on the bright side Kre-O is on-par with LEGO as far as quality goes.

And with Hasbro expanding the Kre-O brand to include the Battleship franchise, it certainly seems like a success. So we could get Kre-O ponies!

LacionARG said...

Make this... you cant even imagine how much money i will give you

Frith said...

Next idea: G4 MLP cookie cutters. For making cookies in the shape of ponies.

BronyRad said...

I want Halo/ Pony legos

Scatman said...

MUST HAVE THIS!!!!!!!!!

Astropilot said...

MLP and Minecraft Legos? AAWWWWWW YEAH.

Onipolice said...

Wha- Guh- Buh- Zuh-
If these actually existed, I'd totally buy some.

Donkey_Potato said...

peggersuss wings work well, ßut you-knee-corn horns... hmm, let's see how that proßlem is solved

Frith said...

Third idea: Watches with quality artwork, for collectors.

Frith said...

Idea #4: MLP:FIM flatware, to go with the dishes that are due out in stores very soon.

NoBloodPlz said...

Actually, Lego's patent ran out several years ago, which is why Megabloks exist. there's no reason Hasbro can't just make these.

autobotgodzilla said...

I want a pony video game. Something like Bowser's Inside Story would probably work best.

Frith said...

Idea five: Postage stamps (probably from St Lucia) for stamp collectors.

Frith said...

Idea #6: Pony piggy bank, could be Pinkie in her piggy costume, but there many possible ponies to choose from.

Val Yuni said...

I'd love to get me some of those.

Nutjob said...

Not gonna happen as Lego.

Hasbro is actively competing against Lego with their KREO brand. Currently only Transformers have been used (At least, since I last hit the toy store.) However, I could see Hasbro running with this idea.

GuiltySorrow said...

I read on that site from another announcement that they are making a $40 Canterlot Castle Lego playset. http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/7568

Frith said...

Seventh idea: Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash bookends (they keep your books from falling over on the shelf).

Come on people, put down the legos and think! X^D

Frith said...

Idea eight: (I had another idea, but I'll make this one food related) Salt shakers, spice bottles, oven mitts, make a cookbook out of that Tumblr site.

Vraptor130 said...

Of course I don't think this would be possible as a Lego product since we're talking about Hasbro property.

But there's nothing stopping them from making Kreo ponies, which would be awesome!

Frith said...

Number nine, number nine, number nine: Fluttershy garden gnome.

Frith said...

Tenth idea: Daring Do adventure set: compass, magnifying glass, water bottle, pith helmet, courrier bag.

Pixel Coder said...

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

Hasbro will never let LEGO do it, of course, because they have KRE-O. But if LEGO came to them, it would certainly grab Hasbro's attention, and make them consider a Pony KRE-O line. Which would be a huge win for both them and us!

Frith said...

Eleventh idea: MLP:FIM cookie jar. Cookie jars are a cross-collectible as there are people who specialize in cookie jars. That means more competition at auction and higher prices, but that probably only applies to _official_ merch.

Space said...

All my money for a LEGO Derpy.

JD said...

I would definitely buy this! Hope this happens soon!

Frith said...

Idea #12: A scratch-and-sniff book -- Fluttershy explores Celestia's garden. Added bonus: pull on paper levers and the critters peak out of the bushes. You are GOING TO LOVE THIS!

Y0SH1 M4S73R said...

KRE-O Ponies Hasbro. Think of the money you'll make and the satisfaction you'll receive from bronies.

Frith said...

Idea 13: Where's Derpy? book. Or video game (like the Hub "find the differences game").

Shantara said...

I wish they released schematics for 3d printing those models.

dw1482 said...

If hasbro was going to make building block ponies they would be KRE-O (because they own the brand), which would be okay, but everyone knows that anything other than Lego isn't nearly as good.
I would still buy them though...

Tomatoisjp said...

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

Promissa Fidel said...

Not that hard plastic mold toys aren't fun, but I want to see Hasbro come out with some properly made plushies!!!

The ones on e-bay are way too expensive!!

Legomaster1997 said...

dear lord, i want them now

Legomaster1997 said...

dear lord, i want them now

Ricky said...

FUND IT

OH GOD FUND IT
TAKE MY MONEY

DerpGarde said...

Supported! I don't know how Hasbro would feel about licensing to another toy company, but hey, weirder things have happened.

Incidentally, that Derpy is too bleeping adorable!

marioandsonic said...

Show-accurate plushes, damn it!

Indigo said...

Wow, for a while I actually thought that these where real...
I support!

phelpysan said...

Lego need to know that we would buy these things. I know I would. Reply with a positive comment if you would as well.

richfiles said...

Oh dear Fiwwy Woona in a Washtub!!!

LEGO, HASBRO... SHIP these gaize NAOW!!!
Git 'n bed together! I wanna see y'all's foals!!!

Torey said...

the words hasbro, properly, made, and plushies are NOT allowed inthe same sentence.

the fans make better quality. you want plushies? you sacrifice quality. you want quality? you sacrifice speed.

Sedrick J. Wilhelm said...

HOLY HELL! THEY'RE SO ADORABLE! That's what the actual toys should look like! These look like they're from the actual show, the official toys are kinda 'bleh'.

R-B-D said...

All my money. All of it. Would be spent on Lego ponies if they would look like this.

anzul said...

oh god the oc`s.... hahahahhahaha XD
rainbow dash long lost sister LOLOLOLOLOL

Madcat said...

Support added + comments.
I'm actually not much of a toy buyer, but I do plan on getting my 2 year old son Lego (should he ever ask for MLP toys though I'd likely get them for him) and yet I think these would be right up my alley. I haven't really been following lego since my childhood but I'd love to take up the torch again.

ph00tbag said...

I'd buy MLP KRE-Os.

I don't even like KRE-Os, but I'd buy them for MLP.

FireKatKid said...

@Donkey_Potato

Well the Pegasus bodies could be a special body of each color with the wing attachment slot.
There could be a special head of each color with a horn attachment. Horn types being short and long, wing types being open and folded up.

Segatendo said...

Idea supported all the way.

mbm pony 527 said...

As a collector a Lego, why is this not real ? :(

Jebediah Oldenheimer said...

I would buy every set the day they came out.

jaws said...

They look alright(not omigosh omigosh omigosh I need it no matter what), but if they had lego of all the mane 6, Celestia, Luna, etc. and possibly some buildings.. I think I would need them, to create ponyville in lego form.

Anthony Pendley said...

Show accurate pose-able ponies.

Amuter said...

Wait... Lego minecraft AND lego ponies....
Time to start with legos again....

Destroyer said...

I want pony pillows and/or plushies definitely plushies!

abrr2000 said...

that idea is 20% cooler than anything lego before... plus it is closer to the core values LEGO started out with than star wars is.

I also think Hasbro is missing out on some serious plushy sales by not making any decent plushies and only making franken-plushies

FireKatKid said...

@abrr2000

They're technically not "missing out" because fans, parents or bronies, buy the badly made ones anyways.

EdwinJ said...

Please Hasbro and Kreo, make some MLP Kreo sets.

pirinja03 said...

Take apart ponies?


... Here have a Cupcake.

Octavia said...

Saw this the other day. Though I'm not really a big Lego fan these day, I used to be and this is a pretty fun little idea.

As for other merchants... all of them? lol Impossible, obviously. It's going to be pretty much just what Hasbro wants and thinks will net them a good profit. :P

dmtactical said...

Knowing Lego, if they made such a thing they would find a way to make a universal pony body that would work with or without wings. The horn would probably be part of the hair.

Frith said...

Idea #14: MLP:FIM nightlights, the little low-light things you plug into a wall outlet.

Hayguard said...

My Little Pony easy bake oven.

DerpyisonlyDerpy said...

I am throwing money at the screen but nothing is happening.

DJ Cobalt said...

i already supported this you guys do the same

Jake said...

This probably won't happen, but I'd like to see Hasbro license the ponies to Retro Studios in order to make a New Super Mario Bros. type platformer with the franchise.

fallenpenguin said...

I'm sure we have somebody incredibly talented here who could adapt these into a file that can be used with 3D printing services...

Dan said...

Oh god, all of my money, just take it.
>The buildings coupld include: Sugarcube corner, Twilight's treehouse, Apple family barn and so much more!

Fuck that shit, I'm gonna put em in space!

superrutabaga said...

Fellow Bronies, the LEGO CUUSOO program is a vote based system that makes fan ideas for LEGO themes REAL. I don't know if someone else has said this already, but THIS CAN HAPPEN IF YOU VOTE on the LEGO CUUSOO website! If we all voted, that'd get the necessary votes to get the product pushed into design faze! PLEASE VOTE NOW!

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

Shannon said...

I WANT! If minecraft can have so can we!

heck, they can even put it in there way too pink girly buckets for all I care! I want this.

I would pre- order off amazon today if it was there.

is there something we can sign to make this real?

( also I have far too many monopoly games already, no pony monopoly please)

Pinkie Guy said...

After hours of throwing money at my computer monitor with nothing happening, I finally decided on going to the Lego site and supporting this project. Only 9,466 more supporters needed until Lego can review this idea!

Chr0nus said...

Chr0nus said...

KREO-FY ALL THE PONIES!!!!!!!

(Kreo is Hasbros' building block line. At the current moment, all they have is Transformer Kreo sets, but they have more lines planned. I wouldn't be surprised to see this actually happen.)

Pinkie Guy said...

@Chr0nus

Oooh! That does sound promising. It might still be worth supporting the Cuusoo campaign just to show Hasbro that the brony market is open to such ideas, even though it looks like Hasbro would never let Lego touch their IP.

Addam said...

Someone has made a youtube video about the project! You can see it here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBMfSLCpIzQ

Please share it :)

Unknown said...

Maybe a new Capcom fighting game, in the same style of the Marvel v. Capcom series ("Marvel/Capcom/Hasbro: Revenge of Galactus", perhaps? Just imagine how much funny 4th wall-breaking would happen in a matchup between Pinkie and Deadpool...) xD

Amccordford said...

*SQUEEE!!* I want it! I need it! What an amazing incredible doll!

Superturnip said...

@ShannonYep. Go to http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/11176 And click "support" Then fill it all out, and then you're set!

Xron said...

Kreo ponys would make me sell most of the lego I have left... so I can buy Kreo.

lerath666 said...

If enough people commit to this idea ( 10000 people) Lego has said they will attempt to secure a license.
