  • Season 3 Episode 7 Floating Around


    It looks like there may have been a bit of a breach on this week's new episode.  We have received a bunch of screenshots of it, and does look to be floating around the internet. 

    For the sake of keeping Saturday awesome though, we are going to avoid posting it. 

    So what is the point in this post then if mean old EQD is waiting until Saturday? A warning really! Be careful what you click on for the next few days if you want to avoid spoilers and keep the usual Saturday HD celebration intact.

  • Issue #2 of the My Little Pony Comic Delayed


    It looks like we have a bit of a delay on the second issue of the MLP comic.  Due to an 8 day strike in Port Long Beach, LA, shipping of the comic won't arrive until the 2nd of January.   Larrys Comics sent out an email to everyone that ordered a comic at their location with dates included:
     #2 is now on schedule for 1/2/2013 
    MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC #3 estimated ship: 1/16/2013

    MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC #4  estimated ship: 2/20/2013

    MY LITTLE PONY MICRO SERIES #1 (OF 6) TWILIGHT SPARKLE estimated ship: 2/27/2013 
    I guess Chrysalis will have to wait!

    And in other news, Midtown Comics did a short brony article here.  It's primarily what we have already seen quite a few other pop culture websites publish, but with their own twist!

     
  • "Derpy Hooves Toy" 4th Most Searched Toy of 2012


    It looks like Derpy may have taken over more than just our fandom this year.  Everyones favorite wall-eyed pegasus also topped the Google Zeitgeist search charts and came in at 4th place in the toys category, beating both Tigger and Transformers.   This is likely due to massive internet presence, but it's still cool to see her up there on the top!

  • Ponies Win on TV guide's Best Fans Contest!


    It looks like pony pulled through in the end on TV Guide's Best Fans poll! After what was probably the longest and most difficult battle we have seen so far in these, we actually managed to break ahead of Doctor Who, even with the majority of you (including myself) adding it to your lists.  Good work! Honestly though, we should probably just go ahead and talk The Hub and BBC into a Doctor Whoof crossover at this point.  I know I'd be all over it.

    The victory article can be found here!

  • Hasbro Combines Forces for Better TV to Toy Integration


    As several TV news outlets around the internet have reported, it looks like Hasbro has completely rebuilt the way it integrates it's Hasbro Studios work with it's usual toy market. With such a huge focus on movies and shows thanks to The Hub and their various big budget movie IP's, a modification to make the transition from film to retailer smoother was inevitable.

    (Opinion Below):

    But what does this mean for Pony?  It could go multiple routes.

     On one hand, a tighter knit Hasbro could mean quicker response times to the fandom as a whole.  There have been quite a few instances, primarily on the convention and news site scene, where Hasbro had to stop everything and take a breather.  While nothing is completely confirmed directly from within the company, many working with Hasbro felt like they were dealing with multiple outlets all giving conflicting information (Including us!).  A unified location to draw confirmation on guest announcements for conventions or Hasbro involvement for everything else will definitely be a boon for making things move a bit quicker on the community level.

    On the other, we may be seeing a bit more focus on toy selling from Friendship is Magic.  Obviously the original goal of the series was always to pump out mass amounts of Pinkie Pie's and alicorn princesses to little girls, but with higher focus on merchandise tie-ins, we may be seeing a bit more of it in seasons to come. With unconfirmed two week old rumors bombarding our submit boxes, it's obvious that people are already pretty worried. This could be a good thing though! We might see higher quality merch, and that is always a plus in my book.

    Luckily we have the awesome team over at DHX to help nullify the product placement with quality animation and storytelling.   Hell, they made Cadence work, and she was the biggest pretty pink princess we have seen from the show yet!

    So what do you all think? Is heavier integration good? 

  • Discussion: Favorite Refence so Far?


    It's no secret that Friendship is Magic loves to reference other shows and movies.   Everything from the three above straight out of The Big Leboswki, to the complete Star Wars ending, DHX does it constantly.  Some are so subtle, most don't even realize it until they jump online after an episode airs and see everyone freaking out. 

    But what is your favorite so far?   Are there any that only you and a handful of others picked up?

    And as an added question, what would you like to see them reference pony-style in the future?


  • Unicon Charity Ticket Sale: Proceeds Benefit College View School



    The team from Las Pegasus Unicon has another announcement for you guys today, and this time it involves charitable donations!

    In honor of the date (12-12-12), any tickets sold today through midnight tonight will have 12% of their total value donated to the College View School, which is the school that Amy Keating Rogers' son, Soren, goes to. It also happens to be her charity of choice, because it will help fund their Snoezelen Room for children with autistic and developmental disorders. I know purchasing convention tickets can be a tricky thing to plan for many people, but if you've been holding off on purchasing tickets for a reason other than timing issues, today might be a good day to rethink that, especially with something so valuable on the line.

    As a reminder, tickets can be purchased here.
