Official Comic #7 Previews Released

iTunes has released previews of the upcoming 7th issue of the MLP comic. You know the drill by now I think, head on over here to check them out, or hit them up below the break. Expect to see this one on the 16th of May.

Thanks to Eric for the heads up!

Poll Results: Opening Battle Theme #2

It looks like the English theme remains on top, with the Japanese taking a significant chunk out of both that and Italian.  There are still quite a few rumors floating around that we may see something different in season four for the English version, though that may just be a slight remix like the season two opener.

Anyway, onward to the next poll - Favorite Art Medium. We can't hit all of them, but we are aiming for some of the major ones.  Tick "other" if you can't resist food art.

The Hub Releases Pinkie Pie Cutout!

The second pony is now available in the paper cutout lineup that The Hub is releasing.  Head on over here to download some Pinkie Pie!

Spollight Music: Shadows

We don't post a whole lot of dark stuff, mainly because pony doesn't exactly have a whole lot of it to begin with.  I remember a time when Discord was expected to be a much more evil villian than he ended up as, and this one does a good job of exploring that side of the character.    That and it's Glaze and Aviators collaborating on something, which is a recipe for awesome no matter how you look at it.

Check it out below the break! Or click the image.

Random merch - Chewing Gum, Giant Bubble Wands, Tattoos, Socks, and More!

Nothing is safe from the pony swarm.  You can't create a product without acknowledging some form of pony licensing!   The picture above is supposedly chewing gum from Russia.  You guys sure do have an odd way of packing gum!  Thanks to Lambda for the heads up.

Head on down below the break for more Random merch!

All the "Yes" in Season 1-3!

We've had Maybe and No, now it's time for some yes.  Yes, you should watch it.  Yes, it will probably improve some aspect of your life.

Lets get the positivity flowing.  Find it after the break!

Japan Time! - Griffon the Brush Off

The Japanese version of Griffon the Brush Off airs at 7:30 AM Japan time, or 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST.   We finally get to hear Gilda's biker voice.  Can they pull it off?  Head on down below the break for the usual player.

And a note: If you want to turn off the scrolling text (recommended if you have kids watching, cause bronies), hit the switch on the bottom right.

Story: Good Thing I'm So Organized

[Slice of Life]

Author: TacticalRainboom

Description: Everypony knows Twilight Sparkle as the sweet, studious unicorn whose magic powers are matched only by her incredible focus and organizational skills. When Twilight's friends make fun of the way her checklists and schedules control her life, Twilight just laughs.

One day, for reasons known only to her, Twilight goes on an unstoppable organizing rampage. Soon, Rarity decides that she's had enough, and tries to stop Twilight before she organizes Carousel Boutique into oblivion.

Twilight Sparkle is very, very organized. Twilight Sparkle has never told anypony why she's so organized. Until now.
