Appropriately named My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic, the game is being made by indie developer Mane6. Gameplay-wise, Fighting is Magic seems similar to the Marvel vs. Capcom series. The ponies have four basic attacks – Light, Medium, Hard and of course Magic. As you’ll see in the gameplay footage below, there are also launchers, aerial combos and high-powered special attacks.

The game is currently in pre-alpha, but have patience. The folks at Mane6 promise that a version of the game will be released soon, featuring lead characters Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, with more characters coming. Fighting is Magic will also have online play, a “lengthy” story mode with boss fights and will be totally free. No “pre-order now to get the Nightmare Moon exclusive” gimmick.

Despite just being ink on transparency paper, they’re designed to be taped up to your window or a light box to create a cool stained glass effect.

My personal favorite is the one with characters from the Batman comic book universe, but Spider-Man fans will be happy to Marissa’s got you and your web-slinging hero covered. Though there’s not quite enough room for all of Doc Ock’s tentacles.

Or if you fancy the original X-Men, you can get Iceman, Miss Marvel/Jean Grey, Cyclops, Angel and Beast to hang up too. You’ve gotta love Professor Xavier filling everyone’s minds from the center.

Of course if you’ve got a little girl – or just appreciate the kitsch factor, skip the superheroes, and head straight for the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic print. It’s awesome in its own special way. The only thing better would be for this to be made out of actual stained glass. Or for real ponies to look like this.

Prices for a full print range from $15(USD) for a 7.5″ x 10″ to $25 for an 11″ x 14″ version. You can also purchase a 10″ x 10″ of the round window part only, with the individual characters from the narrow sections below selling for $4 each. They’re all available over at Fay Productions’ Etsy shop, where you can also find Sailor Moon in fake stained glass form – if you’re into that kind of thing.

Zdz… made the mod for the PC version of the game and all the scary dragons have now been replaced with a cute, yellow My Little Pony that flies around burning stuff. The mod is called the “Pony Dragon Mod” and can be downloaded right now.

My Little Pony aficionados will recognize the pony here as Fluttershy.

Between the spiky banadana’d hair and the stubbly facial hair, to the cigarette in the corner of My Little Pony’s mouth, this Solid Snake pony is full of win. I bet that Hideo Kojima has a whole farm full of these things.

And just like the other colossi, this equine monster has a body part that Wander can exploit – the grass or moss on its rear legs will provide the Shadow of the Colossus hero with a means of clambering up its body so that he can repeatedly stab its weak point. Or, you know, he can just crush this tiny threat under his feet. This thing is what, 5 inches tall?

There is nothing about this picture that doesn’t disturb me on some level. Look at the wooden fence in the background! You don’t see fences like that in places of happiness and fun. Someone always ends up impaled when there’s a fence like that around, and if the fence doesn’t do it, Pyramid Head will.

Sorry, distracted by memories of Silent Hill 2. Anyway, these Silent Hill ponies are available on eBay. $30 apiece (or more, by the time of auction’s end) seems like a lot, but the detail work is pretty good, and these are a lot more elaborate than many custom ponies I’ve seen. And a lot creepier.

The My Little Ponies have enjoyed a wacky resurgence in the past several years, and that’s partially due to the custom ponies fad. As the above demonstrates, pony artists change hair, repaint eyes, and customize the pony’s body as well, and as with so many other crafts, video games are a popular theme.

That said, it’s still unusual to see not one, but two new Portal ponies this week!

While the first pony sprang from a more general inspiration with the game, this second is a clear homage to the Weighted Companion Cube, which I guess makes it the Weighted Companion Pony. Of course, the first one has the infamous cake (or does it?), so it would be a clear winner if we were talking about a pony vs. pony deathmatch of custom pony goodness. But since we’re not, you can enjoy them both.
