Hasbro just won about every single internet I own.

SlyWit said...

Hasbro, you are so Bro. You have earned a Brofist from me for this.

derpidety said...

holy shit hasbro.
Have my babies

chinlamp said...

While this is PROBABLY just a brony at Hasbro making us think 'We're watching you', I'm hoping to god that this means they really are and that we might just see some G4 stuff eventually.

ShadowHooves said...

OMG Hasbro! You are too awesome! :D

CTVulpin said...

You must be joking...

Silver Dash said...

They are finally starting to learn how to market to their audience, lol.

val_heart said...

What? What?? WHAT?!?

Yamigetsu said...

Now just FIX THE ACTUAL PONY TOYS, PLEASE. >:-/

Patchwork Poltergeist said...

I...
Um.
I... I... don't even have words for this.

I really don't. I don't even have an emoticon. There's honestly no way that's a coincidence. I... wow.

This is the best thing ever. Until Saturday.

bronydash said...

What's with all the magneto stuff lately?

KShrike said...

Ok, everypony buy this. If you do, then Hasbro will take the demographic as a serious market potential and make brony toys!!!

Unknown said...

@Yamigetsu
takes years to do that :/

Cador_2004 said...

Ok could someone tell me what the Magneto thing is about?

Potus Mat said...

Pink Celestia. Never forget.

Madadude said...

No Way.... No fucking way

Octavia said...

Lmao. Oh Hasbro, you so silly!

Bitmun said...

I wouldn't exactly call it the "Best thing ever," But it is pretty hilarious.

Applejinx said...

D: D: D:

Oh my gosh! (woops that's Dashie's line)

I can't believe I was there when this went down, and Hasbro is playing along??? XD

Just WOW :D

Luna said...

That put a big grin on my face.

Magneto trolled the gala, thats what.

MetalGearSamus said...

My...god...

IT'S GLORIOUS.

TAKE ALL MY MONEY. JUST TAKE IT, HASBRO.

CoffeBlack said...

I love Hasbro so much right now.

Potus Mat said...

@Cador_2004
Yay, a chance to be useful! Alrighty, at that marathon the other days, on episode twenty-six, the Magneto add keep popping up. Really, you have to watch it to get it.

Aesahaettr said...

The implications of this are simply mind-blowing.

Hasbro.... I approve. *brohoof*

20 Percent Cooler™ said...

Wait what?? Really?
This.. made my night. Hell this made my week. I'm at a loss of words. So freaking awesome~

bersl2 said...

There must be a way to make entries in their product database show up in multiple places. Otherwise, what is this friendship?

Andrew Crumly said...

I hereby withdraw myself from participation in the global monopoly schemes of Apple, Microsoft, and Google.

Several centuries hence, there will be no earth. Only Planet Hasbro.

Darthvender said...

So many brohoofs to Habsro from me I don't even

DSNesmith said...

Oh my God, Hasbro, I love you.

Cyber.Kuriboh said...

Lol worthy. Now get me some not $100 plushies D:.

lesserpoet said...

Wow... Talk about being in touch with your fanbase... that is freaking fast. That said, I do wonder if this bodes well for the "Hasbro is working hard on toys/merch for the brony community" concept...

Gummy said...

Oh my celestia, ok hasbro just sky rocketed in my book.

Ember Twist said...

Welp, didn't see that one comin'.

Flutterfan said...

awesome, just so awesome, now we need to reverse it(make ponies troll a big event during X-MEN), also Magneto pony is now on knowyormeme.com

Snow Flurry said...

Well played Hasbro.

On a side note five of the mane six are available for purchase at 1.99 a piece (blind bag start up)

Marshall said...

This is just unbelievably awesome.

Midnight Star said...

WHAT IS THIS, I DON'T EVEN

HASBRO HAS WON ALL TEH INTERNETS, ALL HAIL OUR OVERLORDS

Atomsk Pony said...

That is wonderfully magnificent. I mean really.
Huzzah to Hasbro times infinity.

Mike F said...

It's possible with pretty much any item, it seems:

Applejinx said...

It's... bea-oooo-teeful :D

No, listen up, it's like this- you see, we ponies, we express our love with joy and fandom and havin' fun and lovin' and toleratin', but big corporations, they don't do it like that.

Big corporations, they express their love with MAGNETO O_O

If you ain't seen it happen before, jes' goes to show you other big corporations just don't have the Magneto in their hearts, but ours does XD

Corkscrew said...

URL manipulation fools!

klstixbro said...

HASBRO HAS ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST INTERNET RANK OF ALL OF TIME AND SPACE!

Clock Keeper said...

"You too can place Magneto into the corner of your screen for an entirely new dimension of viewing pleasure!"

-Hasbro

ex12693 said...

Yea. It's just URL manipulation. I wish this was real though..

DarthVader said...

Wow. Just wow.

*silently removes hat*

Bosstone said...

@Mike F

I knew it had to be something like that. I went into the MLP products list and looked for Magneto but didn't see him.

Guys, I think y'all done got trolled.

Someone beat me to it, but yeah, it's just looking up a Magneto toy thru the MLP website's skin. Not intentional on Hasbro's part :(

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

I think this is probably a URL manipulation...

Rainbow Brisk said...

Hasbro is Troll-tier confirmed.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

"I wear red, the color of blood, in tribute to their lost lives. And the harder I try to cast it aside, to find the gentler path, the more irresistibly I am drawn back. I should have died myself with those that I loved. Instead I carted the bodies by the hundreds, by the thousands, from the death house to the crematorium, and the ashes to the burial ground. Asking myself now what I could not then — Why was I spared?"

Truly, a great man.

fleshBasedProcessor said...

Sorry, this is just URL hacking. Here is a MLP toy set in the nerf shop.

Azure said...

hasBros, you done good.

Howdy said...

Hasbro you crazy like Pinkie Pie

98o59 said...

Hasbro is... the coolest retail megacorp I have ever come across. This defies logic, and can only be mesured in TeraFonzies.

Monix said...

We've been had lads.

Twas too good to be true.

Zoronii said...

By Celestia Hasbro. This is just... just insane.

r0ninKai said...

Magneto is now a brony.

All other arguments are now invalid.

shining-flare said...

MAGNETO is now officially a meme.

Rejoice, Bronies. For now we have the MASTER OF MAGNETISM on our side. Today, the Hasbro store. Tomorrow, THE WORLD.

Steve Rowland said...

oh yea you can even put optimus prime in mlp shop: http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=1E9F8F04-5056-900B-1050-006F77B88770&product_id=29056

but it was funny anyway :) MAGNETO FTW!

Corkscrew said...

I wish people were smart enough not to be mislead quite this easily.

Only positive thing I see here is...

Magneto meme will go on a bit longer.

masem said...

(Hate to burst the bubble, but I'm pretty sure someone figured out how to fake the guid in the URL to make the MLP storefront appear but give the Magneto product in place. I can't replicate it yet, but its clearly something you can modify through the URL....)

Aquaman52 said...

@fleshBasedProcessor

What was that?

Sorry, you're breaking up. I think you're losing service or something. But I'm sure whatever it was you said was very important.

Todarac said...

I LAUGHED FOR LIKE 2 MINUTES STRAIGHT IM NOT EVEN LYING LOL

Flygon16 said...

Dear sweet baby Luna, this just made the beginning of my week. Hasbro has partially redeemed itself for all the crap it does.

Now then, three guesses as to what will make the end of my week, and the first two don't count.

Yep, this is URL manipulation. Oh well, the lulz were had.

ultra8 said...

That's one way to get rid of your excess backstock of unsold Wolverine and the X-men toys.

Bosstone said...

ITT people who don't read the comments before posting. :D

Bonsai said...

If this were real, I would be freaking out so hard.

If only...

Azure said...

Ach! Who set up us this one, I wonder?

Seeeth?

Steve Rowland said...

@masem
its easy you just remove src part of the product url and merge it with mlp shop.

but it doesnt matter if its real or not, magneto will stay with us for a long time now!

DcmRulz said...

as for how this is possible, i'm guessing it has to do with the product itself. but if it can be done that way, the reverse is possible (ponies in transformers shop, or any other hasbro store)

Naezo said...

Hasbro is now the best company ever...

Lemonite said...

Hahaha, alright as funny as this is it's just url manipulation. You can set it up to view any item through the MLP site.

Sorry ponies.

Applejinx said...

Naw, it's true! ;_;

ALL big corporations express their love by Magneto. Microsoft? Bank Of America? Magneto. I'm tellin' ya. So if you go to say Bank of America, and you ain't got Magneto... well! Now what does that tell ya? XD

Laurence Brown said...

I don't even understand what is up with Magneto, and I still find it extremely humorous.

Well played, Hasbro, well played! =)

Raven said...

This is cool. Also, what's with all this Magneto stuff lately? =O

Noteperson said...

This sort of silliness is what makes being a Brony so much fun!

Sorry gents, it's fake. You can copy and paste any toy's URL in there.

what is this i dont even

Flutterfan said...

we've been trolled. URL manipulation, He was the only thing to ever troll the ponies, and now somebody used him to troll the bronies!

Arcane Scroll said...

http://www.hasbro.com/starwars/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=BD94DE59-5056-900B-1061-A6F65A3BD523&product_id=27961&src=endeca

Arcane Scroll said...

I figured this out as soon as I saw it, then had to look for some fun combos :)

Foal Papers said...

As a lot of others have already pointed out, this is actually a tricky (and funny) piece of URL manipulation. The product doesn't appear in the MLP storefront when you scroll through item by item, which should tell you that it isn't actually listed there. It can be further demonstrated that by extracting parts of the URL from an item from a different Hasbro store (like the X-Men section), that item can also be introduced into the MLP storefont template: http://tinyurl.com/3tfwy9z. Other examples have been provided by bronies above. So, while this is still very entertaining, it's almost certainly not Hasbro behind it. I hate to be the one to ruin it, though, and it's still pretty funny, so the question now becomes: who was clever enough to do it in the first place and send it for publication here?

Flutterfan said...

by the way, could you put a video in there too? if so, i demand to see this on a mlp website
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Y2RfiMe8c&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

DcmRulz said...

@Foal Papers

I wonder if this could also be used to show ponies in other hasbro pages?

It's all secrets and lies with those ponies.

Dear lords of Valhalla, I can't believe how close they are to us bronies. Way to go Hasbro!

If only NINTENDO WERE THIS MAD! XP

Darthvender said...

Awww URL trickery.
CURSE YOU INTERNET
CURRRRRRRRRSE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

A1CZERO said...

I laughed so fucking hard.

Omatic said...

An explanation over this being URL manipulation and not actual store updates by Hasbro should be added after the break. You can make almost any item appear in other stores in the Hasbro site.

richfiles said...

I saw this link Sunday morning at around 11 AM central time. I watched the livestream when the whole Magneto thing went down during the singing of At the Gala. Hilarious... That means that there were less than 8-9 hours between my first notice of this link, and the magneto event. That's fast! I have to imagine it was up before 11AM for a time as well. I was amazed to see this pop up the way it did. Awesome!

richfiles said...

I C wat U did thar! Still cool. It just means that a PRONIE figured out how to implement AWESOME in a link to create the best retail meme evar! yay!

Jpifer17 said...

I was wondering what if it was legit or not. For Hasbro to legally pull a stunt like that, they would need to buy the rights and stuff

richfiles said...

Lets take it to the next level... Lets get Magneto to pop up in "If you liked this product, try these" results! LOL!

Eric Monroe said...

Dang! They acted fast to get in on this! Awesome. You can tell that they're definitely paying attention to us.

Scribejay said...

I fucking love this fandom and everything that's occurred from it.

Trollestia said...

Into the Gala metal things, into the gala sell some magnets.

Steve Rowland said...

@Jpifer17
well they actually own magneto toy rights, they sell it in their xman shop.

Puzzle Plate said...

its fake, you just take the toy directory and paste it into a hasbro host extention like nerf see http://www.hasbro.com/nerf/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=F4DC0C22-6F95-1014-AC4F-9CBB844E488B&product_id=23883 now nerf has Magneto toys. Nice try but I'm an internet Sleuth.

James Corck said...

That's...That's actually fucking awesome XD Okay, I woke up really angry, well not angry more like indiferent, but this has made my morning. I'm going to work a lil happier now.

Thank you Seth!

~Sarah said...

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

/shot

ShivalWolf said...

Fucking brilliant. Sooo can't stop laughing at this now. Good going Hasbro.

Johuotar said...

Successful troll is successful.

Dead Rising Seive (Pach) said...

magneto confirmed to have a cameo in season 2

EonMaster said...

ok, now I HAVE to see what the whole Magneto thing is about.

I was going to listen to the stream, but sadly I forgot about it until it was already over. Seems I missed out on so much. :(

Rubik Hooves said...

what's with the magneto things..?

Timer Rabbit said...

OKAY. I go catch up to the voice recording for that MAGNETO joke, and now I almost died from laughter from the Magneto Gala sing-along!

So Hasbro... You are god.

A Weary Exile said...

Soooo they can't make a decent pony toy, but they indulge in some stupid meme to win brownie points with their fanbase?

Jecht said...

Magneto confirmed for best pony
Ian McKellen confirmed for voicing Discord.

Holy shit! Simply unforgettable. I <3 Hasbro

Hasbro is watching usssssss

ActionScripter9109 said...

Epic trolling. I fell for it at first.

EonMaster said...

@EonMaster ok, I saw the 22 minute vid with the At the Gala sing-a-long that Magneto takes over.

I must say, that was awesome. Now I REALLY wish I hadn't forgotten about the stream.

Ringz said...

lol for those of you who don't keep up with the bronyville stuff, the guys on the bronyville podcast did a 12 hour event stream, a full on, ponython of awesome, interviews with some of the staff of the show, the super pony beat guy, all that; and by the time they finally made their way to the grand gala episode, the annoying little magneto pop up that wouldn't leave had pretty much claimed its rightful spot at the peak of all internet memes. They even sung a parody of the Grand Galloping Gala song, ft Magneto. I just can't believe Hasbro actually propelled their awesomeness off of the magneto hype. This is tear jerking.

Samuel7897 said...

Wait can someone tell me what magneto has to do with my little pony??

Kyle_Katarn said...

Alright everyone, it's time to go home, Hasbro has just won the fucking internet!

Thanks for playing.

FightingFire said...

I see what they did there. Unfortunately, not Hasbro. Others probably figured it out too, just I'm too lazy to read through the comments

Mike said...

Is this real? Cuz it looks real! If so; AWESOME!

Mike said...

aw, should have read the comments b4 posting :(

Sun Ray said...

$8 for that low quality piece of crap? WTF is Hasbro trying to pull other than make a shout out?

and Pinkie Pie will appear as a secret Avenger on the movie

Bobbyzero said...

I saw the stream, but didn't really think it was really that humorous (seemed like a hoot to them thanks to sleep dep). I have ads pop up on streams all the time. Can we move on?

Bobbyzero said...

Also, to everyone asking about what the hell this Magneto shit is about: A small ad featuring Magneto (hawking the new Xmen movie) kept popping up during the Bronyshow stream the other night, forcing them to repeatedly click off the add to make Magneto go away. They then began to sing the gala song with Magneto inspired lyrics and then cracked jokes about it like it was the most legendary thing ever. Sorry guys, I find funny things funny. Not this.

commanche105996 said...

This gave me the BIGGEST smile this morning! Hasbro, I loved you before, but I want to give you all the things I own now.

ZAquanimus said...

I got a bigger laugh out of all the people that thought this was real XD.

Whispy Willows said...

@Bobbyzero
What was that? I couldn't hear you, I was too busy being optimistic and full of life. Yes, it's fake. I wouldn't have figured it out if I hadn't read the comments. It's a pity too, because I was just about prepared to forgive Hasbro for not giving us proper Celestia figure.

ElectricZoNe said...

This is getting ridiculous, in a good way.

Belgarath said...

I don't care if it was just a trick it's still awesome.

BlueBreeze said...

I don't care if this is a clever fake, it's still BRILLIANT.

I am so buying this just out of the shear awesomeness of it all...

It was funnier if you'd stayed up until you were seein' double and laughin' at silly things :)

So yeah. Damn, I was exited there for a minute. Who came up with this? :[

zero 1343 said...

Oh celestia this is great.
This meme is one of those 'you had to be there' moment type things
Plus everything is funny at 9am

Hydroscope said...

I posted the comment with the link to the first Magneto post after accidentally finding it from google. Let me be clearer: I did not edit the url of the site. I found it like it is now. I did not mail this to Seth.

KS said...

*laughing too hard to comment properly*

Latias4Ever said...

I'd rather get Pink Celestia than that horrible meme thing.

Proginoskes said...

I predict somebody at Hasbro doing this for real for the next April Fool's. And maybe sticking surprise Ponies in other stores.I predict somebody at Hasbro doing this for real for the next April Fool's. And maybe sticking surprise Ponies in other stores.

If there is any evidence that Hasbro has an eye on the fan base it is right here! :D

Kovu said...

That's my day. Right there.

Scootachicken said...

I don't get it, where'd all this Magneto stuff come from?
I've never really watched the X-men..
Someone wrote a fake fan-fic that just says "MAGNETO" several times, Seth thought it was funny, Hasbro recognized it and put it in the MLP store?

Devil Dan said...

Makes me think I missed something. I just can't watch a whole day worth of live stream. Someone please make a highlight reel.

PredatorDuck said...

It's FAKE.
Usage of URL manipulation.
Someone did this one:

BWAHAHAHAHA! Amazing... Just pure amazing. "Oh Rarity you're wearing a lot of metal i find that... Attractive"

Scootachicken said...

@PredatorDuck
Way to ruin the fun that I don't get.

sparkle said...

Y'all too gullible. Sigh.

wadegmc said...

omg we got freakin trolled again!!!

Jimperz said...

Hasbro? More like Hasbronies!

pioneerheh said...

The URL might be manipulated but I still want this Magneto just because...because of ponies that's why!

Vega said...

Where yo curly mustache at?

Mattwo said...

hey hasbro, how about some more toys for the male viewers then hm?
