Mari Kasurinen is from Finland and I might be a little bit in love with her after seeing these.
While inside I shudder a bit to think of the desecration of all those Ponies, I think this she is incredibly talented and inspired to see the possibilities from each Pony body shape and transform her vision into reality.
Here are some of my favorites. What a concept and medium to work with! It's like a dream come true, having these embodiments of fond childhood memories remade into favorite geekery of other types.
For some of them I can see the pony shape and guess which Pony the character started off as. For others the sculpture completely disguises the underlying My Little Pony.
My absolute favorite?
The time and effort this must take! My mind boggles.
I appreciate her dedication to the details of making each character turn out just so, with the end result so recognizable. Someday I'd like to buy or even commission one of these from her.
Maybe I'd even give up one of my precious Ponies for the cause. Then again, maybe I wouldn't.

Heh yeah Cthulu is the mother of all evil cephalopods.
Wow! This truly embodies our childhood- Ponies made into Star Wars AND Aliens???
Love it! However, don’t you dare donate those Little Ponies… a few of them are still technically mine :)
HA HA...Tempo knows me so well. Freakin' Cthulu.
I like these figures. The concept is great and I appreciate the effort that went into getting the 'pony' characters we all know and love.
Reminds me of the full-sized cows that were placed all over Edmonton and painted in unique ways. The Spider-Cow and Bat-Cow were my favorite.
You share ponies with someone named LO LO? Can you be any more awesome?
LoLo--Don't worry, the ponies aren't going anywhere!
Kal--I can definitely be more awesome, just wait.
Be gentle with me.
Kal is killing me!
My favorite is the Chewy one.
I can't believe you guys still have the ENTIRE bucket of ponies?
If any are missing, I'm hunting Dad down.
And technically they now reside in an extra-large Aldi's reusable grocery bag. We've advanced since the days of the circus barrel & pink muck bucket.
No more muck buckets?
Those damn things were appropriately named I have to say.
