Tara Strong's Other DragonCon Panel

We posted Tara's first DragonCon panel a few days ago, and someone recently uploaded those video of her second one! She joins a few other big names in cartoon media and tosses her usual flair into the mix. Check it out below!

Instrumental Music: Sisterhooves / Darkness in a Perfect World / A New Moon

I guess samples kind of constitute some words, but I'm not picky.  Have some instrumental tracks!

1.) Sim Gretina - Sisterhooves (Samples/Dance)
2.) Nicolas Dominique - Darkness in a Perfect World (Orchestral/Electronic)
3.) A New Moon (Luna's Theme)

Discussions and Speculation: Crystal Ponies!

Source and not an actual crystal pony

We have very little information on what the Crystal Ponies we keep hearing about actually are.  Wild speculation has been floating around the EQD comments section since the Comic Con videos were released.  Time for a post dedicated to some good old fashioned brain storming!

Head on down past the break for a bit more information, including some spoileryness.

Funrise Toys Offices - When You See It.... Edition

Funrise threw this up on their Facebook page a bit ago with the blurb:

Inside Funrise: Here's a sneak peak inside our "My Little Pony" Product Manager's office - as you can see they are busy working on our new releases!

It looks like the Fluttershy plushies are coming along nicely, as well as the much larger other ponies.

There is one small little thing in this image you might not notice at first glance though. Spoilers on that after the break!

Thanks to Night-Feather for the heads up!

Blast from the Past #13 - Fanfic Edition

Greetings time travelers! It's been quite awhile since our last edition of Blast from the Past so hopefully we can fix that and start having this as a regular feature again. Unfortunately life worries had kept me from being motivated to work on Blast posts, but things are more stable now so here's hoping!

Today we're going back to look at some dusty tomes, so pull out your reading glasses and get a cup of your favorite hot drink. Time to relax and read some tales from long ago!

As always, I can't do this feature without the help of you wonderful readers! If you have an older story, video, comic, ect to share please contact me at calpain@equestriadaily.com or at my Twitter at @CalpainEqD.

Check out the stories after the break!

Friendship is Magic Season 1 DVD Pre-orders hit #3 on Amazon

Proving once again that yes, ponies are exactly the same as James Cameron's mega blockbuster Titanic, the pre-order for the Shout Factory release of the Season One box set catapulted itself into the top slots of Amazon's best selling DVDs over the weekend, reaching the number three position according to this AL news article.

As of Saturday, ponies were more popular than The Hunger Games. Even today, ponies remain ahead of such products as season 2 of The Walking Dead, which has been hailed as a national sensation. Putting this into perspective, more people pre-ordered Season One of Friendship is Magic this weekend than straight up bought copies of one of the most popular movies and another of the most popular mainstream shows of the past year.

This is among the most direct lines of comparison the fandom has had to the purchasing habits of the general population, and it shows that words like "niche" no longer describe My Little Pony. This enormous surge in popularity and notoriety can be almost directly traced to the purchasing power of the brony community, and it can only signal good things as we look to the future of targeted merchandise and events. No word yet on any icebergs.
