Lego CUUSOO Projects



 The My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Lego CUUSOO Project is an idea presented by Addam in early 2012 on the Lego CUUSOO website. The main idea of the project is to to make a Lego theme based off the My Little Pony friendship is Magic television show. The project is currently in the support stage, trying to get 10,000 supports from CUUSOO members. == Background on CUUSOO ==  CUUSOO is a Japanese partner of the LEGO Group. They work with the LEGO Group to produce community supported sets. CUUSOO and LEGO started working together in 2008. In October 2011, it was announced that anyone could upload a creation to lego.cuusoo.com, and if their creation receives enough (10,000) supporters, it will be reviewed by the LEGO Group for a chance to be made into an official LEGO product. The project is currently in open beta. == Background on The My Little Pony project ==  On 2012.02.29 CUUSOO user Addam posted a project on the CUUSOO website to create pony shaped minifigures (aka miniponies) based off the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic television show. Currently Addam has designed figures of the Main six as well as a few secondary characters including Big Macintosh and Derpy Hooves and most recently a changeling from the season 2 final. Addam uses Karol Pawlinski’s downloadable 3D pony library for the headpiece, hair and tail of the 3d models. On April 23rd Addam stated a comment the he was currently working on concepts for a few small sets. He also proposed the idea of making prominent show locations including Sugarcube Corner, Twilight’s tree house, and the Apple family barn although no concepts have currently been posted. == Lego’s Response ==  On 2012.03.15 when the project reached 500 support Lego posted the fallowing comment on the project’s page:

 “Congratulatory message from LEGO for +500 votes

 Congratulations on all of the supporters! Great job on the concept pony figurines, it's clear you've captured the look and feel of My Little Pony as a potential LEGO model.

 With the popularity of the new show, it's clear people would want a LEGO tribute. Of course if this reaches 10,000, we'd have to secure a license. Until then, best of luck on your journey to 10,000 supporters!

 Please understand that this initial green light does not have an effect on the LEGO Review that will take place if the project reaches 10,000 supporters. Until then, we wish you the best of luck on your journey to 10,000 supporters!
