Nightly Discussion #53

For it being summer it has actually been pretty mild around here. The plants sure seem to like it though as the crops around here are growing like crazy! I do hope the States experiencing drought get some cooler weather and rain soon though.

Time to chat as we head into the weekend. Jump into the comments for the insanity!

Through the Mirror Celestia and Luna Fashion Style Pop Up in Canada

The Canadian Walmart chain is already popping out Fashion Style Celestia and Luna toys leaked on Taobao forever ago.  If you want either of them, it might be a good idea to start calling nearby stores regardless of what country you live in. These in particular were in Ontario.

Thanks to CottonTALE for the heads up!

Russian Plushie Set Pops Up on Begemott

Yet another plushie line has popped up, this time for all you Russian fans out there.  Begemott.ru has tossed all five up over here.  Their exact Google Translate title is as follows:

Pony GT8007 My Little Pony with a magic comb, with light in the range of 6 in box HASBRO

Which points out that they light up and include a comb for the hair.  Brushy brushy~

Get them over here.

Thanks to Micheal for sending them. 

NICI Rainbow Dash Collection

If you happen to live around Germany, or plan to visit some time in the future, NICI has a new line of Rainbow Dash gear that should be either releasing soon, or already out in the wild.  This is a page from a catalog they released detailing all of it.

Their sitting plushies aren't bad at all! I wonder if they will hit up other countries?

Thanks to Ayu for the heads up.

More 24 Hour Shirts - Maud Pie Sediments and Discord Game of Thrones

Both Tee Public and Unamee are running limited time pony shirts.  At this rate every pony/character in the show is going to have a shirt from these guys.

Get Maud Pie over here, and Discord's Game of Thrones over here.

Thanks to Angel B and Brendan for the heads up!

ChuckyBB Apologizes

There has been a lot of rumor and speculation floating around about ChuckyBB and his relation to DHX. To finally put everything to rest, Chucky has released an apology on his dA account detailing that he is not part of DHX and that he is truly sorry for it.

With all uncertainty completely erased we can move on from this incident and put this all behind us. Check out the apology after the break and visit here to leave your thoughts on his journal. Remember, if even Trixie can atone so can Chucky.

If you're going to make CMC plushies you've got to make them all together! Otherwise I imagine they'd get lonely.

Pony Polka 8

With Weird Al's new album releasing, it's only natural that we have a new POLKA series PMV! When was the last one released? It feels like forever.

For those that don't know/don't remember these, the Polka series was actually what got Weird Al to show up on the show in the first place.  Amazing right?

Get it down below!

Which ancient character would you read a life long biography on first?

Woah, Luna seems to be losing a lot lately. Is it possible that the princess of voting black holes is losing her edge? Did Discord surpass her with his performance in season 2?

Next poll:

We have had enough best pony polls to fill an encyclopedia with facts about why each pony is superior to the other, but not how well they perform in pony focused episodes.  Rainbow Dash might be awesome when paired up with Twilight, but how well does she work when the entire episode is focused on her? 

Head on over to the side bar and pick your pony!

Balloon Party 3: Academy of Power - Mindscapes Begins

It has been a while since we had a Balloon Party event. It looks like the newest one has started up! Balloon Party: Academy of Power - Mindscapes, a Twilight themed album dedicated to learning new things as a musician via experimentation, or SCIENCE in Twilight's case.  One can't evolve if one belts out the same dubstep track 30 times right? Time to expand your boundaries!

Musicians interested in joining in should head over here.  Happy music making! The deadline is the 17th of October.

Comic: Relish the Moment / Apple Pie / Student of the Night 44 / The Little Puffer That Could / Bubblemaster

Funky Music: Ride Pony Ride

GOOD NEWS.  We found a portal to the 60s. BETTER NEWS. We brought ponies to the 60s. EVEN BETTER NEWS. Your cell phone still works for some reason.  That would have sucked to not have a working cell phone.  How did people survive without Google at their fingertips?

Get some funky pony music from Replacer below, while I go plan my Microsoft->Google investment strategy for the future.

Derpy Now a Mailmare! Enterplay Reveals BronyCon Exclusive Cards

I think this is the first time Derpy has officially been a mailmare.  Not even the toylines that have been derpified like crazy these last few years went this far.  Good on yah Enterplay!

We have two cards popping up as exclusives for BronyCon.  If you are attending, be sure to pick them up at the Packbreakers booth from the first of August to the third.  Mane-iac will be completely free, with Derpy bundled with something else unannounced.  Considering how much past promos have gone for from conventions like these on Ebay, its worth stopping by for the free one at least!

Thanks to @nemariaCosplay for the heads up!
