It's all right Twilight, I honestly am glad you stayed roughly the same size as you're just cuter that way! Besides, you already have to get used to the wings do you really want to get used to the long legs too?
News time guys! Check it out after the break.

Some more interesting news from Nayuki, a layout artist from the show. Like some of you, I noticed a distinct lack of both Lyra and Bonbon in the movie and there is apparently a reason for that! According to Nayuki, the students you see running around the movie are not actually based on any background pony designs which means, as Nayuki points out, you all are free to design not only pony versions of background characters from the movie but EqG versions of background ponies from the show.
Things might contain slight spoilers for the movie after this point, so proceed at your own caution.
So what exactly is a background pony then? I mean, we saw Vinyl Scratch in the movie so what is she then? Well, according once again to Nayuki, characters like Vinyl Scratch, Cheerilee, the Cakes that showed up are actually secondary characters while background characters are ones that are used for crowd filler and are ponies they aren't afraid of cloning if they have to fill a large crowd. The more you know!

Ponies have moved on to the world of learning games, via Leapfrog. It looks like the goal of the game is to complete a series of challenges and recover the Elements of Harmony to defeat Discord. The Leapfrog Website has a trailer up that explains it all in detail, or pick it up on Amazon where it is in stock.
Thanks to Whatshisgame for the heads up!

Some sad news has popped up for those that ran in last minute to try to get their hands on a 3D printed Derpy, Vinyl, and Octavia. It looks like a mass email has been sent out to everyone saying that these orders will be cancelled and credited back to their owners store accounts. It was a longshot, but I think a lot of people were hoping for the best there. Have the email text:
"Hi [Name Hidden],
Now we get to see how much these suddenly rare items go for on ebay! Yay internet.
We are really sad to have to tell you this, but we can not print your pony order 261830. As you may or may not be aware, Shapeways recently received a DMCA Takedown Letter from Hasbro, who are the copyright holders of all things My Little Pony related. What this means is, once we get a letter like this, we ask the designer to take down their model and we usually give them 24 hours to do so. Because these ponies are so popular (and awesome) we got a lot of orders like yours in that 24 hours and we would love to print them all!
Unfortunately, the law says otherwise. Once we have a DMCA Takedown letter, Shapeways is informed that these ponies are copyright violations, so for us to print them knowing they are copyright violations would mean breaking the law. The maximum penalty for "willful infringement of copyright" is $150,000 per item. That's a lot of ponies!
While we do everything in our power to support our community, we hope you can understand that in this case we have to comply with existing laws. Shapeways simply can not afford to take this risk to print your order.
Obviously, we know this is very disappointing, so we have already issued a Store Credit that you can use to buy anything on the site. If you would like a full refund instead, please email us at service@shapeways.com"
Thanks to everyone for letting us know! -
Another pair of Equestria Girls dolls, or sets in this case, have popped up. Honestly I'd buy them just for the Celestia and Twilight figures if those two had molded tails. I'm way too lazy for that brushable thing though!
I'm sure we can expect to see pre-orders or even sales of these pop up soonish. Thanks to McKenzie for the heads up!
