With emails going out notifying people of shipments, and several reports to us directly of sightings within stores, I think we can officially say both Vinyl Scratch and Octavia are now available. If you didn't pre-order one online, a call over to your nearby store should give you a good idea on both current stock or when they plan to restock. Expect a review on the duo in the next few days here!
Thanks to everyone for sending images and notifications in. -
Pony card, dog tag, and game accessory maker Enterplay has opened up shipping for the following countries outside the USA on their website: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, UK. If there was a specific accessory or card set you couldn't find, this might be a good way to do it. Hopefully the shipping is reasonable! Check out their store here.
Thanks to Odyzak for the heads up. -
The mane six having pet companions was just a marketing thing, I suppose- another accessory for any pony figurines to have. The running joke upon seeing most of Twilight's friends with pets (sans Rainbow Dash, of course, but hers was to come in another season) was to ask where her pet was, and the answer was usually Spike. His fans got their due karma with this episode, which gave Twilight her very own superpowered owl capable of outsmarting a dragon. The big one at the end, not Spike. Pitchforks down.
For days following the episode no one was certain of how to pronounce the owl's name, which Twilight does say several times but never clearly enough to nail down a spelling (with apologies to Tara Strong- maybe the mixing was bad). The name had to be clarified by Lauren Faust as being spelled "Owlowiscious", but she would have preferred it being spelled "Owloysius", which is closer to the real name "Aloysius", which is Germanic in nature and means 'fame and war'. Suddenly this episode got a whole lot darker, but hey, we got a spiked punch joke out of it.
Be sure to catch Owlowiscious, Unpronounceable Owl Of War after the break.

Does M.A. Larson not have an OC Pony? I'm always looking for an excuse to post the Great and Powerful one, but I expected more of you, fandom. Pretty much the entire pony staff has ponies at this point.
Anyway, we have two interviews with both Amy Keating Rogers and M.A. Larson this time around, each covering everything from their careers in writing to pony in general. Head on over here for the ukelele player, and over here for the Great and Powerful creator. -
See? Even Nightmare Moon can pull off that cute thing Luna does all the time. I'm pretty convinced it's just the colors and flowy mane that draws you all in. Toss an xbox controller in there and you'd be all over her.
Onward to art!
