• BABSCon Gets Twilightlicious With Tara


    First de Lancie and now Tara Strong? The lineup for BABSCon is looking pretty impressive and we've still got almost half a year left till the event itself! Who knows what they will announce next!

    Check on after the break for the full press release!


    Fillies and Gentlecolts, BABSCon is pleased to announce that the talented voice actress behind the newest friendship princess on the block, Tara Strong, is coming to BABSCon in 2015! Dubbed by some as the “Queen of the Bronies” for her dedication to her fans, Her Twilightliciousness™ will bring a special kind of magic to our convention this spring in her first MLP fan con appearance since BABSCon 2014.

    During those first few episodes of MLP:FiM, we were enraptured by the charming, panicky, purple, smart little unicorn that started us on our journey through Equestria. The humble beginnings of our fandom stirred as we watched through Twilight’s eyes, and discovered the magic of friendship alongside her. Tara Strong was the voice that helped make this magic happen. But Tara has done more than lend her voice to Princess Celestia’s prized pupil. Impressed by bronies so much, she went on to be an executive producer for Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony.

    Most of us have grown up hearing Tara our whole lives since been the voice of Timmy Turner in The Fairly Oddparents, Raven on Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go!, Ben Tennyson on Ben 10,  Bubbles on The Powerpuff Girls, Dil Pickles on Rugrats, and even Hello Kitty herself when Tara herself was very young. In video games, she’s voiced Harley Quinn in Batman: Arkham Knight, Juliet Starling in Lollipop Chainsaw, and the one and only Squirrel Girl in Marvel Heroes. WHEW! And all that is just the tip of the iceberg…

    We can’t wait for what surprises Season 5 holds as Tara guides Twilight Sparkle to expand her kingdom of friendship to the borders of Equestria and beyond! Come join Tara for panels, fun, and maybe a competition or two at BABSCon 2015.

    Tara Strong joins John de Lancie, Cathy Weseluck, Brian Drummond, Brynna Drummond, Heather Breckel, and Tony Fleecs among our Guests of Honor. Register today at http://registration.babscon.com/ and use code EQD10 at checkout for 10% off!
