Downloaded Spiral Knights because free stuff is awesome, maybe I'll give those guys a shout and actually play the game.

Also, that Colbert picture has so much win.

Mustanx said...

Pinkie Pie as a god? Well that would be a world gone cupcakes.

Still no Trixie day even last Wednesday.

-We did get published on EqD. yay~

Firleycat said...

Pinkie Pie has ascended to a Pantheon that includes Deadpool, Dr. McNinja and Brian Blessed. Now that is a force to be reckoned with, unless they are having a party, which would happen a lot with those four.

PH Brony said...

@PH Brony
Wait scratch that thing about the pony toys.

MUST HAVE THEM. IDC HOW MUCH WHERE CAN I GET SOME!!!!

Anonymous said...

Looked at yesterday, still no ponies in the Philippines... Macdonalds still have smurfs in their happy meal.

Looked at Toy Kingdom. Still no MLP:FIM, only 3.5 G, which I am tempted to buy, er, for my nieces...

Anonymous said...

MLP:FiM has invaded the Philippines? But they are expensive?

I DON'T CARE. I WOULD BUY THEM AS LONG AS I AM EXCITING AND HAPPY!

THANK YOU, HASBRO!

PH Brony said...

Well there is some pony toy somewhere. Just gotta look harder. But my limited knowledge of Manila makes it harder.

Anonymous said...

Brony from belgium here, and I only know of one more. It seems bronies are hard to find outside of the US

Anonymous said...

Looks like Connor's birthday just got 20% cooler.

Zoltrioundz said...

Hey all, "LordZolt" here from the brony Spiral Knights guild The Lunar Republic. Seems the guild leader mistakenly gave one of my alt names instead of my main character (In fact, I hadn't even made a "LordZolt" in Spiral Knights until I realized the mistake tonight.) Since I am the only high-ranking guild member on right now, just thought I would throw it out there that you can usually contact me under "Zoltrioundz". All the other names are correct. :) Hope to see you in game!

Gryphonfeather said...

A melbourne brony meetup!, I'll be there (if i'm not working) I have not met ANY bronies here.
so excite!.

PH Brony said...

No actual location. I see. Must use super eyes to read those price tags.

PH Brony said...

Toy Express. Probably this is coming from a SM department store. Interesting.

Eric said...

Awesome!
I freaking love RuneScape! :D

PH Brony said...

@Eric
Join our clan then. :D
I feel so underleveled there. XD

keneticpest said...

@Anon (Belgium)
The UK also has a fairly large brony fanbase.
Hungarian bronies are truly hard to find, even though Budapest did have a meetup.

Anonymous said...

the cake is a lie

Octavia said...

Hah, nice pic there at the top. I want Luna as my trusty steed too. Into battle!

According to The Canadian National Post article, Bronies are all hipsters. lol Well, not really. It was mostly about "kids" shows being multigenerational. Which it has become. :) And of course it mentions EqD. Most do since it's one of the featured Brony sites of course.

Like the Wired article. Good little read.

Besides the Dash on the Youbuy site, I see other ponies in that style too. Though I'm not seeing a huge difference of them from the "normal" models. Besides the larger wings and maybe being slightly more stylized.

Hah, Pinkie Pie as Goddess Unexpected Audiences. imokaywiththis.jpg

Oooh, iBringDaLULZ working on another piece. Fun, fun! I loved Baby Got Flank. I consider him up there with Eurobeat and Swagberg in quality. Hoping this is as good as Baby Got Flank.

Wow, more comics with pony-related stuff. There aren't going to be any left that haven't covered pony soon. Also, he came back Wednesday. lol

More delicious pony cakes. And luckily, these aren't lies. Fluttershy cake. <3

Yay for Brony meets in MI. Makes me miss all my friends in MI. I'm sure some of them are probably going to the meets too.

Anonymous said...

I also see a fashion style Twilight In that Taobao yoybuy.com site. i want one but don't have the means to get it. Will have to wait for U.S. release.

Anonymous said...

*Looks at the prize*

Aww... It's expensive in the Philippines.. :(

Anonymous said...

899 php = 21.20 US Dollars

I think I will wait for the six pack or blind bags if they are available here in the Philippines.

LordOfTheWrongs said...

I like the Fluttercake.
Yay.
Yay.
Yaaaaaay.

twilightlover21 said...

Holy crap!!! Me and my friends guild got posted on here!!!! That is SO AWESOME!!!!! /)^3^(\

PH Brony said...

@Anonymous

899... I take back what I said. That is like almost 1/2 of my allowance.

soak314 said...

@PH Brony

Forgot to specify the mall location, sorry!

The mall in question is actually SM Calamba. Easy enough to get to if you're in Laguna.

PH Brony said...

@soak314
Thanks. I'll try to coax my parent to go there on my birthday. >:) It's just my first year at UST and I came from Tarlac. IDK how to go there so yeah. Thanks a lot! Now I don't have to lurk every mall.

soak314 said...

@PH Brony

I'd try the Toy Kingdom at Mall of Asia first. They've got a big branch down there with an impressive inventory.

SM Calamba only had three FiM toys on display; the two pictured and an extra Pinkie Pie, so they might sell out before you can even get here :P

Anonymous said...

Philippines! That's where I'm from :) Those toys are over 20 US dollars. I forget sometimes that FiM is mostly being animated over there

rabid-turtle said...

The Newspaper I work for is going to be running a MLP colouring contest from what I can tell from my co-workers e-mails :D also a Canadian Newspaper!

Anonymous said...

FiM isn't exactly invading the Philippines if they sorta made 2/3 of the episodes. xD

☠F34R☣Rainbow☢DashÏŸÏŸ™ said...

I love when we make a positive splash on the media <3 it makes me happy to see not all news people are haters or word twisters. ^_^

Anonymous said...

MOA here I come,

just need a good excuse...

ElectricZoNe said...

That Luna Colbert picture is epic!


Also picked up an MLP Micro Raschel throw blanket from Target, it SO Fluffy.

PH Brony said...

@soak314
Hmm seems a more logical choice. Not only is it closer it is also probably cheaper due to it having a possibly bigger inventory and I have more choices to boot. Thanks again!

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous
Well not if none of them were shown here...

PH Brony said...

@Anonymous
Excuse from who?
Parents/Relatives: Go out with friends
Friends/Classmates etc.: It's for my niece. (Real original excuse I made up there.)

SkylineFaux said...

For the person who saw the pony toys over at the Philippines, are those the only ones (Fashion Style)? No normal ponies? I'm really tempted to buy a Fluttershy. :))

DantE.MusT.DiE said...

Applause for MLP coming to the Motherland. Now The Philippines is 20% cooler!!!

Anyways,

It has yet again come to my attention that haters are getting particularly *violent* in their hate-filled hating of hatefulness.

I can't imagine what drives them to be such rude people. Still, love and tolerance...

masem said...

Can anyone provide a date and page number for that Wired UK column? (time to update the WP article...)

ZAquanimus said...

I want them shoes!
But I'm a size 9! D:

LUUUUUUUUNAAAAAA D:

wingbonerPH said...

The Philippine merch news is actually late to the party and yes they are expensive. Im saving up for rarity tho.

Other toys found in toys r us in the PH are the pony playsets (fluttershy and forest critters, sweetiebelle and apple bloom playsets... ALSO kinda expensive)

and yeah, I'm kinda proud that Topdraw did an excellent job with handling MLP FIM. No wonder theyre doing season 2 as well. Not all of em but hey!

WHERE THE PONIES AT (For Fillypino bronies that I do not know that there are):

TOYS R US GALLERIA
TOY KINGDOM MEGAMALL
SM DEPARTMENT STORES



oh and seeing the comments, we should organize a Philippine brony meetup ourselves, and look for people from Topdraw to make it more special!

Anonymous said...

@wingbonerPH
Know any forum that caters to Philippine Bronies?

Apostle of Hatsune said...

@wingbonerPH
Yeah, we should do a Brony meetup. I'll definitely attend, maybe even help organize it. xD

soak314 said...

@wingbonerPH

>Fillypino brony meetup
>allmymoney.png

That's a great idea. How do they go about organizing meetups in the states?

SajinZero said...

Finally, a Michigan meetup! I hope we get it going!

wingbonerPH said...

@filipino bronies

I do not know if there is a forum. Im actually looking for one! maybe we could have a talk at ponychan about this. We still need to bolster our numbers tho.

And a meetup would probably be at the next anime convention at megatrade...

do you guys go to ponychan? I'll try to make a post there to see how many of us are around...

RC_Tech said...

Ponychan thread might be lost if we don't bump it frequently enough. Better get a forum post. Here is one I tried to setup.

@wingbonerPH
There is a PH thread on /int/...

soak314 said...

@wingbonerPH

To the filipino general on /int/!

MAKE HASTE!

wingbonerPH said...

oh really? then lets go to /int/ bronies!

there we can talk about the meetup.

If not, we can check out the pinoyexchange thread.

Anonymous said...

"/b/, the unstoppable meme-forge of 4chan.org's message boards, was temporarily brought to it's knees - or possibly its hocks - by clashes between fans and critics"

Well, that's certainly a nice (if not wholly inaccurate at least four ways that I can count) way of putting it...

Manjoft said...

I would pay absurd amounts of money just to buy that Fluttershy cake. (I doubt I would eat it if I spent THAT much though... perhaps it'd make a good centerpiece.)

Anonymous said...

RD Cake: ...meh.
PP Cake: ...that's a cake?
FS Cake: ... *heavenly choir*

Guinness and a Pinkie Pie cake

The mark of real man!

NotAGoodUsername360 said...

In the immortal words of Nicholas Cage, I WANT THAT CAKE!!!

richfiles said...

The only thing manlier would be Dos Equis and a cake depicting both Luna and Fluttershy trying on each other's socks!

Muffinsforever said...

Pinkie Pie, Goddess of the Unexpected Audiences
Intermediate Goddess
Symbol: Her Cutie Mark (Three Balloons: two Blue ones and a yellow one)
Alignment: Chaotic Good (Heavy on the Chaotic)
Portfolio: Making Friends, Parties, oh god the parties.
Domain: Friendship, Laughter, Pranking, Parties
Allies: Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy
Followers: Bronies
Had somehow ascended extremely quickly and has been seen making friends with many of the Gods and Goddess of the various houses, however she's just as likely to annoy and confuse everybody.

Lol

NovemberWishes said...

I love that Fluttershy cake. Looks tasty. But who'd want to eat Fluttershy?!

Jennifer said...

The Fluttershy cake is amazing!

I really liked Wired's mini article though, makes up for their sub-par first attempt.

MintBerryCrunch said...

The British are coming, the British are coming!



Seriously, I tried to come up with a pony version of the British, but I've got nothing.
And if you don't get why I said that, watch more Colbert Report.
Here's where the pose in that picture came from if anyone wants to know:

i remember going to Toy Con 2011, after winning MvC3 tourney. i was standing and watching the filipino comic panel and had a urge to say something My Little Pony related because of Top Draw and some shyte, people were giggling but i heard one person who shouted from the back with much enthusiasm. i was laughing with my fellow bros afterwards

Damn! And the only ones that has them were in Toy Kingdom in SM Megamall, SM Department Stores and Toys R' Us in Glorieta! Damn it! I can't drive that far. ;w;

Poochyena4Ever said...

@SkylineFaux

I once saw MLP:FiM toys in Toy Kingdom at the Mall of Asia, and there are different kinds, actually. There are G4 ponies and there are earlier versions too. The FiM versions have different recolors and some of them come with items (brushes, carts, pets, etc.)
