Why not save alot of bucks and just get some modelling clay of fimo or something?! I bet that's way more fun and messy anyhow!
Although I'm speculating, I suspect Hasbro enjoys and profits from its reputation of being extremely fan-focused and tolerant of minor derivative works that are common in its fan base (why else would they encourage pony conventions and custom pony contests?)
Oh Hasbro can be both supportive and non-supportive of the collecting community - they pursue some infringement [e.g. the inference of a potential cease and desist to a plush maker recently and years ago they did once issue a c&d against a customiser]
I don't think it's really fair to criticize the makers of 3-D ponies when a good chunk of customs in our community are made using fakies in bootlegged molds--the Dollar General babies, the Crumpet pose, and all the G3 / G3.5 / Newborn Cuties and now even G4 fakies.You can bet those fakie companies are making more $$$ than one person with a 3-D printer in their basement.
QuoteOh Hasbro can be both supportive and non-supportive of the collecting community - they pursue some infringement [e.g. the inference of a potential cease and desist to a plush maker recently and years ago they did once issue a c&d against a customiser] Actually- all that crap about Hasbro pursuing a cease and desist against a plush maker (whitedove) turns out was complete bunk. All that they did was ask Deviantart to ask her to take down her public commission post- she was asked to do it privately or not post sale links/prices on her Deviantart page. They did not EVER pursue a cease and desist against a plushie maker. You can read it on her Deviantart page...
