There is a good the reason is, My Little Pony wasn’t marketed to boys. Shown off on the 2011 Maker Faire in Detroit, this animatronic , fire-breathing horsie got to spread just a little heat due to the Louisville, KY-based modding duo, LVL1.

Also on deck for the new-mouthed stallion: a flame-spewing cabbage patch doll riding companion. How’s that for a DIY-perversion of your precious 80s youth? Peep the whole pyromania-tinged project after the break.
