Normally I would wait for Welovefine to get a few more shirts up before posting a compilation set, but fans of the music ponies will probably get a kick out of this one. As most of you know, Hasbro has to approve the shirts put up on Welovefine before they can be sold, and it looks like Octavia managed to get through that little blockade without any problems... with her fanon name.
So, welcome Octavia to the official canon herd I suppose!
You can find the shirt here.
They also have a new Nightmare Moon bag, check that out here!

ReplyDeleteFirst link links to google mail.
ReplyDeleteOh boy they kept her name. Now if only they'd change their minds about "Heartstrings" and "Golden Harvest".
ReplyDeleteI need it....
ReplyDeleteOctavia is best background pony.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you derped the first link.
We win, FANON = CANON!!!
ReplyDeleteInb4 Octavia gets named and then another giant shitstorm happens and she gets removed from the episode a few weeks later
ReplyDeleteEpisode concept~~~!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Wonder how long before Hot topic picks this up? I could use a pony shirt.
ReplyDeleteThis deserves a Vinyl Scratch approves badge. Since I can't insert the image. have a link to the DA for it.

Interesting use of the Street Fighter IV font there. Not a bad design overall.
ReplyDeleteIf only shipping to Europe wasn't so damn expensive..
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or is something wrong with her left eye?
ReplyDelete@WeaponFanfic
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I didn't notice that. Looks good!
Hmm... I wonder how interconnected Hasbro/The Hub are from Welovefine. Perhaps Welovefine made the Octavia shirt autonomously from them. I guess it still counts as canon.
ReplyDeletei know were my next money goes^^ and iam in europe, yay ponies!
ReplyDeleteSo Octavia is canon?
ReplyDeleteI don't exactly like the font but other than that it's a cool shirt. Also, the new site banner is cool!
ReplyDelete@Mike
ReplyDeleteIt still needs to pass through hasbro for approval, even if they make their own stuff.
It's funny how all these shirts are made in China, RIGHT next to Singapore, and yet we pay loads of shipping because they sell them from the States...
ReplyDeleteThat Nightmare Moon bag... It's... Beautiful... D':
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted a Vinyl-Scratch shirt, but I've never seen one that really interested me. I've seen it now though... I must have that shirt.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't really consider everything that comes from welovefine as canon.
ReplyDeleteHasbro just deemed this shirt to be "safe". XP
Not much more to it than that.
Besides, wasn't the name DJ pon3 already used in a commercial?
Wow that looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteAwesome now if only I had money... I'll trade We Love Fine a hug for a shirt!
ReplyDeleteOcty shirt! Finally! :D
ReplyDelete@snowfi6916 She was only edited out of the Itunes version.
ReplyDeleteDamnit. Damnit. Damnit. Damnit. I am so full of Damnit right now. Why? Because I'm pennyless and I can't buy this awesome shirt!
ReplyDeleteWell, no, I am not pennyless, I have just enough to actually purchase it, but then how do I eat? How do I pay for other more important stuff? I hope they keep the shirt on the site and don't remove it like they did with the mail bags, that was a sad loss of an oportunity ;_; Tavi and Vynil are best duo.
This shirt NEEDS to be in a women's fit! D:
ReplyDeleteDAMNIT, I MUST HAVE THIS SHIRT, FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA!!!
But I don't like wearing men's fit since it doesn't fit right on my... feminine assets.
Huzzahs are in order! :D
ReplyDeleteWhere have you been? Octavia has always been "canon". ;)
ReplyDeletelol My names bring all the goods manufacturers to the yard. xD On a more serious note, it's a very awesome shirt indeed.
EqD, why why why don't you fact check? Every outlandish declaration you make skews the fans' perception of reality.
ReplyDeleteHasbro licenses these shirts, but they do not originate them. Shirts like this one of Rorschach or this one stating Rainbow Dash is a Wonderbolt originate from the fans, not Hasbro. Hasbro licenses them to be sold, but to what extent they have any non-fan implications is unknown.
Octavia on a shirt! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat they don't show, since it's a t-shirt, is the next panel.
ReplyDeleteIt's the two of them making out. ;-)
This is total BS Hasbro! Do you know how absolutely offended I am at musically inclined ponies?! I demand you take that down at once and remove all references to "Octavia" in your episodes this instant!
ReplyDelete@Chromosome the shirts are still printed in the US. If the shirts are from china, it's just the blank (flank.)
ReplyDelete@snowfi6916 All licensed product that is official and legal has to be approved by the company that has licensed their intellectual properties out. Same goes for Marvel, Disney, Sanrio, Nintendo, etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteOne can never have enough Octavia merch.
ReplyDeleteaww man this shirt is awesome! I gotta have this!
ReplyDeleteYay for Octavia! ^_^ Even if she's always been sorta canon.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I want the buttons that come with the messenger bags but they don't sell them individually. :[ Anybody know if I can get them somewhere else, or suggest it to welovefine myself?
@mlp
ReplyDeleteThe shirts still need to be run by Hasbro before they're allowed to be sold.
Regardless of origin, Hasbro ultimately gave the green-light.
Next time oooon... EPIC RAP BATTLES OF EQUESTRIA!
ReplyDeleteIf it said Vinyl Scratch instead of Pon-3, I would've considered buying this. But I guess Hasbro isn't really aware of her OTHER fanon name...
