When the Narnia movies started coming out, the movie studio (don't remember which one it was) actually did go after someone who was selling a MLP custom based on the White Witch.

The same level of legality as the Bubbles pose unicorn fakie or Crumpet fakies or things like that. Hasbro is pretty lenient with fan projects as long as they don't make themselves impossible to ignore (like the Mane6 "Fighting Is Magic" video game, where they stupidly entered a major video game convention) or damage their brand (like that really gross Princess Celestia Tumblr, ugh) or have the exact same name as a real pony (like that Mattel Bumblebee superhero doll, where Hasbro sued them because they have a Transformer named Bumblebee).Like, to give some idea, there are over a dozen third party Transformers companies, and by "third party" I mean they are unlicensed but are busy making perfectly show-accurate Transformers characters. Some of the robots are even . . . visitors can't see pics , please register or loginG1 style HOT SOLDIERS, lol. Whew, for a minute I thought that was Soundwave and Laserbeak! What a relief to realize it's Soundtrack and Laser Bird. I have never heard of Hasbro going after a third party TF company, and they would be a looot easier targets.
I think my one concern with the project, if I have one, is that, knowing that a pony was probably sacrificed to create the moulds used
The ponies aren't actually destroyed to make the molds. Though I believe they must be hairless.

Though I believe they must be hairless.I think I mentioned it before but I like hair. So to me that would count as destroyed I guess that it just troubles me slightly that it was that pony. She's the only one to have that pose and she's not common...of all the newborns to choose...unless she was so fiendishly wrecked in terms of marks as well. I dunno...
