Here is some good recent news for the brony fandom and many other fandoms!  It looks like Hasbro has made a deal with a company called "Super Fan Art" to get some FAN MADE 3D printed figurines on the market!  Here are some articles on EqD that explain it in more detail:

This is AWESOME!!!  :iconfinallyplz:

With a lot of creative people being in the MLP fandom we see them using their skills to produce 3D art pieces that would sell good but of course there was always the fear of a Cease and Desist looming over us.  In fact a while ago several people got C&Ds for selling their 3D ponies on shapeways.com but now it looks like Hasbro has finally answered my prayer and is using the aforementioned site to produce these sculptures and apparently the makers of the art get to choose the price!  It is tough getting hand-picked by Hasbro to do this and obviously they only allow appropriate artwork and stuff but hey, I'm just glad to be hearing this news!

So what do you guys think of this?  Do you think they will start allowing certain fans like JanAnimations to team up with them and create legal fan-made animations and other media rather than sending out more Cease and Desist's to protect their IP?  It may seem unlikely but with the fact that they're now doing it for 3D printed ponies, I have a feeling they could use fan animations someday too!  :D

This is pretty interesting. I'm curious to see where this goes and whether or not they'll do it for other fandoms too.
