For Maker Faire Detroit 2011, I displayed a hack I made to a FurReal Friends Butterscotch Pony. My fellow LVL1 Hackers and I had taken control of the motor control system of the toy and added a flame thrower to it. It seemed to go over really well with the crowd, so I am putting up the information for anyone to make there own. It was a blast to make and I hope everyone has as much fun remaking it. Just remember that this project uses Fire and should only be built and operated by no less then 2 adults with appropriate experience in fire safety and proper fire safety equipment on hand.

At one time, Butterscotch and S'more ponies both sold for around $300, but they seem to be discontinued. I would never suggest someone pay this much for something new, just to make it better. Thankfully, there is a fairly steady stream of them showing up on Craigslist and second hand stores.
I purchased my first Butterscotch off of Craigslist for $20. I have since picked up a second one for $25 from a peddlers mall. I commonly see them listed for ~$100, but with a little negotiation and/or patience you should be able to pick one up for dirt cheap.

fluttershy is a tree!

Good to see a fellow brony on Instructables. XD
BTW, who's your fav pony (mines Rarity)?
-=-=-= brohoof accepted =-=-=-
Pinkie Pie is my favorite. Rainbow dash is a very close second. RD used to be my favorite pony, but I converted to PP because she is just so awesome and hilarious.
p.s. have you seen the season 2 finale yet?
This Day Aria is best song ever!
"Shining Armour will be... MINE! all mine."
i REALLY liked BBBFF and Love Is In Bloom
"My big brother, best friend for-ever!"
"Love is in bloom. A beautiful bride, a handsom groom..."
good to see another brony outside of 4chan, EQ Daily, Ponychan, etc...

Richard from "Looking for Group" would love it!
But i've come up with a better name:
"My Little Pwny"
PS- this is also good for scaring away people at halloween
It would have been allot more funny if you had motorized the tail to lift up and over then had the fire come out that end instead.
the pony is awesome as well.
One question though: When will the unicorn horn that fires lasers be added? Just a dot or projected grid... would add to the feeling of impending doom that objects must feel just before ignition...
Laser or no laser, when you start your world takeover and need minions: I'm there dude.

Why firebreathing isn't just a standard feature of the pony out of the box I can't understand...
It was the video for Daft Punk Technologic that inspired me to start taking the skin off of animatronics thing. I wanted to know if they are all that creepy.
