We Love Fine - Now Selling Keychains, Plus More LED Designs

We Love Fine has started stocking the keychains for sale outside of the achievement system they currently have set up to unlock these.  Unfortunately both Luna and Fluttershy are out of stock, but Derpy, Doctor Whooves, and Lyra are available now.  

And in other news, a few new LED designs have been added, including a scarf (all in the image above).

All of this and more can be found over in their pony section, as well as the LED page. 

Rumor Mill: Fluttershy and Twilight Coming to Build-A-Bear

We're going to file this under the rumor tag until we know more, but we've heard multiple accounts from store employees that Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle are next in line to be featured in the Build-a-Bear workshop. This would, of course, be in addition to the two they already have: Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

We'll let you know more if we receive a more concrete confirmation.

Pony Fan Music "I Am Octavia" Invades Lebanon MTV

Over in Lebanon on their version of MTV, a bit of completely random pony music has popped up during a show called Talk of the Town, or more specifically the recent I Am Octavia song from Eile-Monty.  I haven't the slightest clue what the context is here.  If any of you speak the language, let us know so I can update this post!

Head on over here to check it out.  If the time code doesn't work for you, it's at 11:50.

thanks to Yoshimon and Adam for the heads up! 

(Update: Septavian int he comments pointed out that - That lady is Octavia Nasr, a journalist who covers Middle East affairs. She just cleared up how her name was pronounced, so there's that special keyboard key with a song they found, which happened to be EileMonty's.)

Story: II (Update Complete!

[Sad][Shipping][Dark]

Stay Brony My Friends: Episode 46 - Starring Steffan Andrews

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside! Come inside!

Stay Brony My Friends is back for another Monday evening of shenanigans. (Yes, I call shenanigans!)

This week we have the very talented musical composer Steffan Andrews. Steffan has orchestrated most if not all of the songs
in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic from "Winter Wrap Up" to the "Cutie Mark Crusaders Theme Song" and a lot more.

He has also worked on Pound Puppies and Littlest Pet Shop as well as many more.

His puntasicular verbiage has also left many on twitter groaning in pain.

Join us Monday evening, and YOU get to ask him your questions LIVE!

And don't forget our Manly Challenges for Charity on www.manliestbrony.com where you can win great prizes for just helping others!

More Micro-Series Comic s Confirmed after The Mane 6

IDW editor Bobby Curnow over on the official comic pony forums answers questions periodically as fans ask them, and one of the bigger responses was the confirmation that we will be seeing more micro-series comics past the mane 6. Have a quote:

Thanks for nice words! Yeah, July is sorta Big Mac month! (though his role in the micro is pretty minimal)

I think I can confirm that there WILL be more micros! You'll have to wait a month to see what the next one will be though!

The Digests are specifically meant for the book market, I believe. As such, I think the idea is to get them out to the masses in a timely manner. Not sure how often they'll be... I imagine it will depend on how the first one does. But it's not my department, I really don't know much about it.

The big question is, which pony will they pick? Are they going to branch off from the usual and start exploring background ponies?

Only time, and your money, will tell!  If there is anything to throw those dollar bills at, it's these comics.  They are all we have for another year! 

Thanks to Robert for the heads up!

Nightly Roundup #634

Some say my roundups are too late, I say one can never roundup too late. 

Lets head with some Samus this time, even if I never was much of a metroid fan.  I did play the crap out of Zero Suit in Smash Bros though.
