Once upon a time, I was camping with my family and I decided to play in the river. I was eight, and everywhere I went My Little Pony went, so I brought her along. While attempting a river crossing, I slipped on a wet rock, but rather than let My Little Pony fall I held her out of harms way and instead broke the fall with my tooth (sorry mum!).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Twenty five years later, with a permanently chipped tooth, I was thrilled when Hasbro and Shapeways collaborated to open the beloved My Little Pony brand to fans<\/a>. For the first time ever, a huge brand was enabling artists to play with their intellectual property, and create new fan art. Welcome to the 3D printed herd!<\/p>\n

In order to re-connect with my excited inner eight year old, I decided to watch the new TV series to catch up. I lost my whole evening in Equestria. Why?\u00a0As Lisa Miller wrote in her recent New York Magazine article<\/a>, friendship is<\/em> magic. These six little ponies embody all that is wonderful about friendship and remind you that kindness can go a long way. Honestly, who doesn’t need a reminder of the wonder of finding your kindred spirits?<\/p>\n

While my pony toy is long gone, I’m thrilled there is an every growing collection of My Little Pony fan art<\/a> that I can collect\u00a0to serve as a bright beacon on my desk\u00a0to be grateful for my friends.<\/p>\n

Here are my favorite pony picks:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"pinky\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My favorite, Pinky Pie (because she’s the closest I can get to the one I used to have!) and she has the best laugh.<\/p>\n

\"muffins\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fan favorite Muffins, once a background character, now gets her own 3D printed spotlight<\/p>\n

\"rainbow\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rainbow dash gets things done in ten seconds flat!<\/p>\n

\"data\"<\/p>\n

Last but not least, Discord, the infamous villain, bringing chaos to Equestria.<\/p>\n

Although it’s never a bad time for My Little Pony, these are especially fun for the holidays. Whether you have a superfan in your life or you want to introduce these characters to a new generation, these make great gifts! Or, of course, you could just\u00a0collect them all<\/a>\u00a0for yourself. It is the season of giving and<\/em> getting after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
