Folks who know me know that I'm a big fan of My Little Pony, which extends to the high-school spinoff Equestria Girls. Unfortunately, as a long-time fan of Lego, the My Little Pony toys (including the Equestria Girls dolls) fall far short of the standard Lego produces, both in terms of creative potential and in terms of quality. And a Lego MLP theme represents a sort of unattainable ideal—a theme which could be absolutely amazing, if not for the fact that the toy companies involved are, and probably always will be, fierce competitors. But of course that doesn't stop me from wanting to envision what such a partnership could be like! The Lego Friends "Minidolls" are pretty much perfect for representing the characters from the Equestria Girls universe, so after much heming and hawing I finally broke down, polished my basic Adobe Illustrator skills I'd learned at college, and got to work. This is my first attempt at a Twilight Sparkle minidoll. All of the parts are official Lego parts, and while many of them are in colors they haven't appeared in before (obviously, given the fantastic skin tones in the series), the colors used all correspond to official Lego colors on the current color palette. I'd like to someday try my hand at making a physical version, the complex curves of Minidolls ensure that painting would most likely be the only way to apply colors and patterns, and my lack of a steady hand plus the cost of materials make me a little less than confident about trying to customize my own version just yet. For now, this mock-up will have to do. I'm currently working on the rest of the "mane six". They're coming along nicely, although there are no Lego hairpieces which quite match the hairdos of the other characters, so I'll probably have to make do with some less perfect matches. I figure I can add the others to this topic when I get them to a state of completion I'm happy with. For now, comments? Critiques? Other related thoughts? I'd love to hear feedback, especially the kind that can help me improve! EDIT: Still no other characters yet, but in the meantime, how about a DeviantART link? I did some work to clean up and improve Twilight before posting her there, so that one is technically a more up-to-date version.
