There’s a new trend gliding through the air and it smells like pony shit. The last few weeks have produced some of the coolest gaming mash-up toys we’ve ever seen, thanks to the integration of popular game characters and My Little Pony dolls. We’ve seen a bunch in the last weeks, but we can honestly say this has become some sort of awesome trend. Don’t fuck it up hipsters!

This Hayabusa Halo My Little Pony doll might not be as cool as a Master Chief doll, but it still has that angular Halo aesthetic that the ladies just go gaga over (not really).

It’s not everyday you see a mustached Hello Kitty figure, but something about the way the stars have aligned at this moment has set the mood for the totally unneeded, but gratefully accepted, Hello Kitty Super Mario Bros. papercraft dolls.

Apparently a Hello Kitty – Star Wars mash-up wasn’t quite enough. These Mario and Luigi kitties feature removable hats and all of the Hello Kitty cutesy-ness you can stand.

I don’t have a problem with Meerkats. They are a fine animal and an all-around interesting species. I just don’t see their place in the Star Trek universe. But, hell, why the heck not, right?

Some of you Star Trek purists might be a little turned off, but for the most part, I think these hand knit Star Trek Meerkats are charming in their own cutesy way. If you’re not down with the original series (including the Meerkat clones of Spock, Captain Kirk, Uhura, Scotty and Bones), NiftyKnits also crafts Next Generation and Voyager crew members.

Ahh, matryoshka dolls. What man hasn’t dreamed of ripping a woman in half only to find another woman inside and so on and so forth? I know I have!

These matryoshkas just happen to be Super Mario Bros.-flavored. Custom designed by Flickr user cmsturmhous, these dolls would look awesome in any gaming room if you could somehow convince the maker to sell them to you. More pic love after the jump. (more…)

Anyone with a Playstation 3 cannot deny the appeal of the LittleBigPlanet Sackboy. He jumps, he runs, he grabs and dresses in drag. Of course, some of us would like to bring our Sackboy outside of the game and into our lives. While some have accomplished just that, no one beats designer Maggie Wang’s creations. Her Sackboys not only look amazing, but the costumes she makes for them are incredibly detailed.

Take for instance, this Prince of Persia outfit she designed. From the hair down to the cape and right over to the sheathed sword, this is truly a work of art. Jealous? We are. Check out more of Maggie’s creations on her website.

The tank is back. This time around he’s not throwing cars and crushing skulls with lifeless paper arms. No sir, this tank is born anew thanks to Craftster user windgie79 who crocheted Amigurumi dolls of the entire infected cast of Left 4 Dead for her husband.

The witch, the hunter, the boomer, the tank, the smoker — that’s all of them, right? Aided by a pattern from Creepy Cute Crochet by Christen Haden, it wasn’t long before windgie79 was well on her way to crocheting the troublesome zombie crew of Left 4 Dead in a less horrifying, but more cuddly adaptation.

Vince’s roommate is really in to Kidrobot’s Munny dolls. For those not familiar, they’re blank “Do-it-Yourself” vinyl figures which can be decorated any way you see fit. When I’m not ruining Vince’s roommates Mini Munny designs, I’m busy searching for Star Wars Munnys like the one toy customizer and 3D artist for Avalanche Studios, Squapper, has made. It’s a Tusken Raider. He even sewed the clothes by hand which shows some serious dedication.

Squapper also has some extra Munnys on the shelf and is planning on a Jawa and Ewok design. His favorite Star Wars is A New Hope.
