The concept can work best if they bloody make their own custom pony figure with the buttons and inputs built in the design. XD
 
My thought: The pony’s neck can be a Atari stick, four buttons go on the left side of her body, and the START and SELECT go on her left hind leg. It’ll be best if it’s just for a NES or SNES or other like consoles of the mid ‘80s and early ‘90s. Shoulders may work if you use a D-Pad instead of a stick, but if it were me, I’d prefer crafting a custom controller pony in less than a hundred years, lol. Also, the optimal size is possibly between a Brushie and a Funko. A Brushie is too small, and a Funko is too big. I think I recall G1’s were available in both sizes, if that’s anypony’s preference.

@Trahzo  
I doubt it. See the D-pad? There should be switches beneath it to detect where it’s pressed.

Does it work?

L R Start Select?

… I’m passing.

Imagine how we’re supposed to play with this controller. Ugh.

Wait, see the description for another photo. Is that supposed to be where the D pad goes?

@BarryFromMars
 
See, there’s no PCB for the D-pad to push against.

I don’t think so.

If it’s as I think it is, then no.

Does it work?
