Full Pony Set Coming Soon!

It looks like we won't have to dig through blind bags anymore! The mane 6, as well as a few others, are going to be available in a full box set.

Honestly some of those recolors actually look pretty neat. My poor computer desk might collapse under all of this pony. 

They haven't announced a release date for them yet.  Unfortunately these are hanging out on that chinese Taobao website right now.  Judging by the sticker, they will be a Toys R' Us exclusive, so at least we know they will finally be heading to the states.


 
Credit goes to Shortyboo on MLP Arena for the discovery, and delc17 for letting me know!

There is definitely a lack of Lyra and Bonbon lately.  Luckily this comic hopes to make up for that with 6 pages of everyone's favorite Ponyville couple!

Animated Pinkie Pie

Palestorm over on Deviant Art released this really well done Pinkie Pie animation. 

That's some talent right there!

And pretty Pinkie Pie....
 

Animation Magazine Posts the BridleMaids Billboard

The full Bridle Maids image has popped up in the Comic Con issue of Animation Magazine!  Sadly no article was included, but I think a full two pages of pony is pretty neat regardless.

I wouldn't mind a poster of that actually.  Maybe next Comic Con?

Thanks to Sy for the heads up and the images!

Friendship is Magic Posterpony for Fair Use Article

A website called "Variety" recently published an article on Fair Use, using Friendship is Magic as the primary focus.  It talks about how different companies tend to treat the augmentaton of copyrights in unique ways.  Hasbro,  for example,  fully embraced out ridiculous crossover videos, which not only made our community stronger, but advertises the hell out of the cartoon. 

Can you imagine how difficult it would have been to spread without the freedom to use these characters in the majority of our fanworks?  Hell even my banners break every rule in the book.

I'm glad Hasbro took this route with us.  Brohoof's all around.

You can find the article here!

PMV/Art: Weird Al Album Covers/PMV's

Weird Al time!  2 new PMV's and a whole pile of album covers. This guy is planning on ponifying every Weird Al album in existence. 

I'll be honest, I never really payed much attention to Weird Al before ponies, but this stuff is growing on me. 

1.) MLP FiM Perform this way 【Rarity Pmv】 *Better quality*
2.) Polka Face 【My little pony Pmv】

Q&Neigh: Everypony Edition!

We are going to be treating this a bit differently!

Unlike the past Q&Neighs, Phoe, Cereal, and I will be collecting questions and answering them podcast style. 

We will see how this goes.  I don't have the most amazing voice on the planet.  

Question collection begins immediately! Drop whatever you want into the comments below.

The actual answering will be posted or tomorrow, or maybe thursday, depending on how long it takes Cereal to edit stuff.

Story: My Little Clony (Update Act 5 Part 12!)

[Adventure] "A gripping tale, portraying the sinister hoof behind our favorite background ponies."-Pre Reader #6

Author: Feedback

Description: Set shortly after the end of season one, upon discovering a conspiracy enveloping the entire world of Equestria, Caesar, a businesscolt and entrepreneur, assembles a team of ponies with the mission of ending the lie and bringing down The Game Master, its faceless ringleader. All the central characters, including Caesar, are background ponies from the series, most being fan favourites.

Soon after, strange stone Pegasus are everywhere, one of resident weather ponies has vanished, and Twilight is tossed in the middle! The Doctor and Twilight have to find out what's going on, before it's too late!

And part 2: Traveler!

Nightly Roundup #47

You guys asked for it!

Octavia is now the BEST PONY

TO THE NEWS! 

Otaku Ascended Megathread (Update Lets Watch 26)

This is now the hub post for all Otaku Ascended videos, lets watches, and reviews.  You can find every episode after the break!

I'll be honest, this is a lot of links, and I don't really have the to cut and paste them all into link tags!


Not even my OCD can take that kind of work. 

Episode Commentary From Bronycomms (Updated Episodes 26!)

I guess they usually do video game commentary, so have a video game image! (And because it gives me an excuse to post Trixie of course)

You can find 6 episodes with commentary below, in youtube link form, including their dislike of 3rd BEST PONY! Completely ridiculous guys! Everyone knows Rarity's amazing voice-overs and hilarious OCD makes her top tier, beaten only by Dash and Twilight!

All episodes after the pagebreak!

Comics: The Fresh Princess of Ponyville // Ego's Celestia

So apparently the above comic was sent to us in story post format, which completely confused me, because I was halfway through formatting it as a story post, and then I got to the part where I link the story with the title, and they were image links instead! A normal person would have recognized their mistake, but my brain just shut off for a good half a minute in complete confusion. That seems to be happening to me more often lately. My inbox is so full of pony that when I reach a non-pony email I have to sit there for a second and process the fact that it's not a pony thing I'm looking at. Emails from my professor, for instance. It's disorientating. Apparently Phoe has the same problem, so at least I'm not alone.

So anyway, the comic: Part I  |  Part II | Part III |

After the page break we also have another comic by Ego, which is a continuation/alteration of her Luna one showing her stages of life. I get so jealous when I see this pony's art, for serious. I can't draw to save my life.

Music: Junior Speedsters Camp / Cutie Mark Crusaders (Trance Mix) / The Rise of Luna

Another awesome racing theme! These songs always bring back nostalgia, even if they aren't pointing at any of my old favorite games.

What ever happened to the jingles of old? Confound this xbox.
