"Go and fly, My Little Pony! If you want to meet new friends, take flight and listen to your heart, and you can face any adventure!"—My Little Pony Italian Theme Song English Translation
Looks like the Italian Translation of the IDW MLP comics by Edizioni BD is doing well, for they just published two new volumes in the series! That's right folks, Volume Three of the Friendship is Magic series, and Volume 2 of the Micro Series—collecting the issues featuring Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack—are now available in Italy!
For those of you living the United States (or anywhere else in the Europe/The World) you can order the italian trades from Amazon.it here:
Le microavventure. My little pony: 2 Cover by: Amy Mebberson
L'amicizia è magica. My little pony: 3 Cover by: Andy Price
Since Amazon's account system is global across all their various websites your login credentials, saved mailing address, and saved credit cards will all work when ordering and shipping these comics to anywhere in the world!
More below the break!
Now for the slight wrinkle to this exciting news. There are variant covers for these trades. If you thought Panini Comics had a ton of variant covers for their German translated trade releases, that's nothing compared to what Edizioni BD has put out.
Le microavventure. My little pony: 2 Cover Variant by: Sara Richard
L'amicizia è magica. My little pony: 3 Cover Variant A by: Ben Bates
L'amicizia è magica. My little pony: 3 Cover Variant B by: Brenda Hickey
These covers are exclusive to Edizioni BD's website, and they only ship to address in Italy. If you're looking to track down any of these variants covers, it would probably help to know someone who lives in Italy.
So does this mean that MLP Italian Translations of the Comics are here to stay? I hope so, if for no other reason than to see FIENDship is Magic published in another language than English.
And on another note, if anyone can help me track down the two pack for My Little Pony - L'amicizia è Magica 2, the six pack for My Little Pony - L'amicizia è Magica 1, and the Pinkie Pie Variant for My Little Pony - L'amicizia è Magica 1 I would be unbelievably grateful.
