Nightly Roundup #847
by Calpain
So how about we get back to more obscure ponies (and griffons, and dragons, etc) for headers, eh? After seeing all these Wind Waker style ponies I really am interested in what a pony version would look like. Might be interesting!
News time folks, check it after the break.

A whole boatload of premiere events are happening this weekend with the official release of the MLP CCG. A few days ago, Chicagoland sent us an email with details for theirs, and enterplay eventually followed up with details for the masses.
From the sounds of it, a few hundred kits went out to stores around the USA (and possibly Canada, though that wasn't mentioned), each with a Twilight Sparkle #P4 participation card and an Eeyup #P8 prize card.
Your best bet is to call around at nearby stores you know of that usually run events like this and see what they have planned for the weekend. Chicagoland for example will be hosting it at Noon, with a 30$ entry fee that includes a starter pack and four booster packs. Obviously this will vary store by store.
And in other news, if you want to collect em' all, Enterplay released a MLP CCG checklist. Find that over here!
Hopefully this game rocks it. As someone who was around back during some of the early days of a few other card games, nothing is more fun than seeing them evolve over time. -
New Hub Ratings Are In: 2-8 Dec
by Calpain
The numbers for last week are in and pony continues holding strong as Daring Don't takes first place for the week. At this point it isn't really surprising to see ponies at number 1 this season, but it is interesting to see how the rest of the Hub lineup is fairing.
The top ten has a nice mix of classics and new stuff with Animaniacs and Tiny Toons taking some slots while Littlest Pet Shop continues to also break into the top ten. Great work! Check out the full list at the link below.

Hey again everyone! Hope you all are having a nice December so far and are ready for this coming weekend. To get things started, how about some more tumblrs from the tumblrverse? We've got an interesting array extending from robots to bat ponies with a diverse set of characters. Bat ponies sure are popular now aren't they?

Today our runner-up was from Nyrx with this colourful full-page entry called 'Bust-A-Pose'. I guess Sweetie Belle and Rarity are half bubble-dragon in this? They certainly do look extraordinary!
Join us after the break for the winners and entrants of the fifth day of the Hearth's Warming Microcomic Giveaway!

It looks like pony is once again being parodied, this time with a full series from Dynamite Comics. The description is as follows:
(W) Michael Moreci, Steve SeeleyWelcome to the world of the Horse-He, middle-aged men who share an unusual devotion to My Little Phoney. Though the line of sparkley and adorable horses was made for young girls, nothing stops the Horse-Hes from adopting this lifestyle. When a dispute ignites over which clan of Horse-Hes are truest to the Horsey creator’s original vision, the game of one-upmanship gets bizarre, and apocalyptic. Now, the Horse-Hes must travel the barren wasteland to discover who the truest Horse-He is.
Thanks to Andrew for the heads up!

I couldn't decide on cute vs obnoxious Trixie header so have both
A web store called "popcultcha" has two new entries up in their shop, though no images are available to go with them. Both Trixie and Twilight Sparkle have been listed for 20 bucks a pop. Funko has hinted at The Greatest and Most Powerful Pony in all of Equestria being an early 2014 release, and Twilight was inevitable, so I think it's safe to assume these two are on the way. There isn't any official confirmation at the moment though.
Regardless, Twixie is the best combo. Find Twilight here and Trixie here. Expect their release some time in February.
Thanks to Matt and AquaticNeon for the heads up.
(Update: Apparently Hot Topic has confirmed this via phone conversation too, though still nothing concrete we can point to) -

Didn't get your fill of Daring Don't dissection? Dive into some delicious deconstruction as our friend Gibbontake totally blows my mind with his explanation of Daring Do's reality. Then, be entertained by Drowning In Horseshoes' lengthy diatribe (viewer discretion advised on that one). Lastly, Tommy Oliver fields questions and concerns over his negative opinion of the ep. Vids are after the break!
