• Pony Birthday Cards Sighted!

    by
    Someone (who doesn't have any awesome pony name for me to use) sent me these in email.  Apparently they were hangin out at a nearby Target!  

    It's good to see more pony merch popping up.  That's the sign of a healthy show right there!  Now we just need some older demographic stuff...

    Because I am definitely not 4 years old.. just sayin.   (What have I gotten myself into?)

      With a little modification, they also work for a 40th birthday.

      Or 24th birthday.

      Can't remember how old Seth said he was, so it probably won't work for him still.

      Why would that be tragic?
      I'm 25 and last week I have finally decided to go into a toyshop and look for the pony blindbags. Then I started browsing through them for like 15 minutes to find the codes on their back.
      When I was finally done I went to the cashier and placed the delicately selected blindbags on the counter.
      The seller gave me a somewhat confused look so I told her "They are for me."

      See it's easy. Why would buying merchandise dedicated to little girls for yourself would be tragic?

      ....

      wait

      @Don_ko

      Have to disagree. My 4 year old son likes the show and actually remembered most of the character names after only watching a single episode, and he was 3 then (we've watched many since). His favorite character is Applejack.

      Although, of course I wouldn't get a pony card for him. That's really much more of my thing. He likes other shows more.

      Love your art btw.

      For the older of the audience they should make the following: The cover shows the main cast and reads, "You are an XX year old male and I got you a 'My Little Pony' themed greeting card.". It opens to Trollestia who asks, "Problem?".

      Well, we could also make our own MLP bday cards for the older fans. I mean yeah, its definitely 20% cooler to get the professionally-made ones, but its not hard to make one's own in illustrator/paint/powerpoint/whathaveyou and complete the "thought that counts process", especially for fellow fans' birthdays.

      Seriously, if you really want to make someone laugh like crazy, you go and get that 4 year old one, write a zero on after it, and give it to someone who is turning forty. Completely unexpected.

      As far as I can tell mlp has always been from 4-10ish

      Even if its not meant for them 4year olds can enjoy an older kids cartoon. I know I did
      and fim is made for kids and there parents so really there isn't a age range outside the stigma of "Its for little girls and your gay if you like it!"

      There isn't a reason anyone wouldn't watch this at any age because super young kids can watch it for the bouncy animation and pretty colors. Older kids can watch it for the story and jokes and adults can watch it for the plot.

      That was me that found the cards. Forgot what they said inside, but the Pinkie card had some of the other mane cast. And Celestia is only a LITTLE pink. Not as pink as she usually appears in toys.

      Also, these were spotted in So Cal.

      I saw the PInkie Pie card at Wal-Mart (along with some walcreatures). It said something like 'Hope your birthday wishes come true' or about friendship. Hopefully they make invites that sing Pinkie's telegram song. Also, cake and cards? Are you trying to tell us something?
