Story Updates June 15th (Midnight)

Almost midnight at least! Have some story updates.

Bronycon Documentary Art Contest Winner Chosen

It looks like they have chosen an official winner for the Bronycon Documentary poster contest. A ton of people entered, but only one could claim the highest prize.  Rebekah Wicklund will be walking away with 500 dollars and a meetup with Lauren, Tara and John at Bronycon.   If you want to check out all 342 entries for the contest, hit up this page!  There are some amazing ones, so definitely take a look!

If you submit one to the contest, feel free to send it to the EQD box for drawfriend, though it will be strict as always.  I see at least 20 in there that are straight up amazing artwise, though not really in poster form.

(Seriously, send those posters!) 

Madman Brony Box V2 - Unboxing

It looks like the first two discs and collector boxes of the Madman pony set have begun to pop up in people's mailboxes.   Just in case you guys wanted to see exactly what was included, or just want to sit here with us non-aussies and be jealous as hell, someone has done an unboxing of everything.  The quality here is really neat! I'm glad they are putting so much into these. 

Anyway, check the video out after the break!

Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie Cuckoo Clock

Time to expand that custom merch stuff once again! Fluttershy's tree house has been transformed into a Cuckoo clock, and here good friend Pinkie Pie is joining her.   We really do transform everything into pony in this fandom!

Check out the video of it in action after the break!

Lyra and Trixie Spotted + Description Text

It looks like Lyra and Trixie are slowly trickling out into the smaller stores.  Goldenclopper on MLP Arena found these at their local Kiddy Palace store, which isn't actually not too well known for carrying anything but baby stuff.  These specific toys were mixed in with some of the mane 6, and in extremely limited quantity.  Apparently only two Trixies, 1 Lyra, and one Cherry Berry were available.

Now on to the background text! Each of them pretty much just extends the Blindbag versions, but I figured you guys might get a kick out of it anyway!

Trixie

 “Trixie Lulamoon is great at magic tricks, but sometimes she likes to show off a little too much!”
 

Lyra

“Lyra Heartstrings loves to play! She finds a way to have fun no matter where she goes.”

Cherry Berry

“Cherry Berry thinks that breakfast, lunch and dinner should always be served with a cherry on top!”

Thanks to Whatshisgame for digging it up!  Check out more images after the break. 

NYMag Compares Pony Hair to Celebrity Hair

Ponies seem to be popping up in the most unlikely of places lately.  Over on NYMag, they have a slideshow up dedicated to showing off celebrities with completely off the wall hair colors, and their similarities to our favorite candy-colored equines.   While they seem to think this is a negative thing, I for one welcome our crazy hair colors.  Blonde, Black, and Brunette can only stay entertaining for so long! I have been told I have 0 design sense though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Check the post out here!

Thanks to Masem for the heads up. 

Discussion: You Are Now a Unicorn

The Greatest and Most Powerful pony in all of Equestria (in other words, Trixie trixied Twilight Sparkle into casting a spell) has summoned you and transformed you into a unicorn.

Unfortunately, something went wrong during the conversion process, and your horn is only capable of casting a single spell. Twilight Sparkle will teach you any one you want, be it teleportation, Summon: gossamer & morning dew wings, telekenisis, or even "get me the hell out of this pastel colored crazy town" (complete reversal).  It's up to you. 

What do you choose?

Vocal Music: One Last Letter (Aviators Cover) / Pizza Pony

1.) [P1K as Rise Against] One Last Letter (Aviators Cover) [600 SUBS!!]
2.) Riff Track - Cyril the Wolf (Feat. Riff Track) - Pizza Pony

More Merch+Images from the Licencing Expo MLP Booth

 It looks like Hasbro has a whole pile of new random merch for you all to ponify yourselves out with in the coming months.  The Angry Otaku once again sent over a bunch of new images of the area.  It looks like shoes, clip wallets, and more backpacks are on the way.  I wouldn't mind if they sold those banner things either.  That Scratch one from yesterday was pretty awesome!

 (More images after the break!)

More Andrew W.K. Shenanigans - In Defense of Ponies

Andrew W.K. Struck again at his Stickcam channel last night, and 50 people sent videos of it!  He goes on about why he likes pony and why you should continue liking pony regardless of what society tells you.  It's pretty inspirational!

There is a bit of cussing at the end, but I think most of you are old enough to deal with that at this point.  Check it out after the break!
