While the 1980s had those plastic mask costumes (which I weirdly cannot find a picture of anywhere, what’s the deal with that internet?), Hasbro has yet to come out with an official My Little Pony costume for the generation of ponies currently in stores.
However, that would never stop pony fans of all ages from dressing up as an MLP for Halloween! Some intrepid and crafty people have created costumes themselves and are selling them only. I’ve complied a small gallery below of some I liked.
While the ones on eBay are trying to be more like official My Little Pony figures, if you don’t mind modifying what you buy a bit, there are a wide variety of Unicorn costumes for children and adults alike. Just sew a symbol or cutie mark on and suddenly you have your very own My Little Pony costume.
Don’t have time or the cash to buy a costume? Make your own My Little Pony costume! Here are three homemade My Little Pony costumes to give you inspiration.
So this list of My Little Pony Superhero customs got me thinking: if Hasbro were to make official Superhero MLP figures, what characters would they do first?
I posed the question on Facebook and Twitter and got a few answers to get us started. (If you tweeted an answer but didn’t send it as an @ reply I may have missed it so please feel free to add it below).
From our Facebook Page:
Sarah Carter wants Batman Villain, Poison Ivy and Heather Fredrickson votes for Captain Underpants
I also voted for Swift Wind which I understand could never ever happen as they are rival toy companies but a girl can dream!
So what official MLP superhero would you most like to see? You can weigh in below.

MLP fans and collectors may enjoy an interview I did over at Vintage Meld which is a collecting site.
