Nici Applejack and Rarity Appear on Taobao

We haven't seen much from the German plushie manufacturer Nici in a while, but they are still producing the ponies over there, with two new ones joining the other four.  Applejack and Rarity are apparently on the way, though only Taobao currently has listings for them.

Equestria Daily Interview Series: Interview with IDW Editor Bobby Curnow Part 3 of 5

First, write every day. That's the most basic, and necessary, thing to being a writer. The idea of being a writer is appealing to many, but if you can't sit down and write every day, you're just not going to get good enough to go anywhere. At least, that's what I've observed, there are exceptions. The good news is that every day is a new opportunity to start. It's never too late.

And now the continuation (after the break).

Drawfriend Stuff #1424 - Calpain Does a Drawfriend Edition

Ever have one of those reflective days, those days when you look back at all that has come and gone? Those old friends, those happy occasions, the good and the bad? It's good to remember where you came from because each and every day it helps guide you to the person you will be.

Heya everyone! Seth is actually sleeping after being up all night so I'm taking over for tonight. Hope there aren't too many repeats!

My Little Toy Freddy - Pizza is Magic - Fortnights at Freddys, Plus a Bonus Luna and Celestia Short - The Balloon

If you are like me, you are probably a little bit burnt out on this Five Nights at Freddies stuff. It seems to have become the new Frozen! You can roll the dice and check out one more animation though I bet. It won't hurt.

And while you are at it, get some extra Celestia and Luna. It's short, and pretty slow, but it's cute anyway.

Canterlot Castle Playset and Glamour Glow Cadance Revealed

Hypothetical Discussion: The Season 5 Finale is Simple, Similiar to the Best Night Ever. Would You Be Cool With That?

I'm stealing this one from Reddit, cause It's a good one.

Over the years, Friendship is Magic has gone from a simple slice of life show with a rare major event here and there, to season long buildups and epic conclusions.  If our polls are any indication, you all loved how season 2 and season 4 played out, but ask any of the oldschool crowd, and nostalgia is all over the place for glorious season one.  It didn't end with a world changing explosion or villains taking over Canterlot, but it did give some excellent closure for the hiatus ahead.

And so, we have another one of these fun season 5 hypotheticals.  Lets assume for a moment that we are at whatever date they plan to end it on, and the finale has arrived.  Instead of a new villain wiping out towns and villages, we have something much more down to earth encompassing all of the mane six just being their happy go lucky pony selves.

Would you be alright with this? Or is your expectation so high that only the most EPIC of finales will satisfy you now?

Veggie Returns: Behind Every Beautiful Thing

I'll tell you what is happening little one, Veggie is back in business! For those of you who are new to the fandom, Veggie was a prominent comic artist in our fandom between 2011 and the end of 2012. He introduced a lot of us to adult Scootaloo and his wonderful series of Guy-Ra comics, but unfortunately had to give up pony in August 2012 due to entering into university and all that jazz.

But no one can shake the pony bug forever and so after over two years he has returned (at least for now) with some new pony content. Talking with him personally he seems excited to be back and ready to show off what he has learned in the meantime.

Give him a welcome back in the comments and pay his welcome back journal a visit on dA for the full story!

Click above for the full comic and welcome back my good friend!

I guess living with Luna for centuries has given Celestia enough time to counter her silliness. You'd better watch out Luna!

Early Morning Discussion #104

The show will have been out for five years this October and Nightmare Moon artwork is still going strong. She was our first big villain so I imagine she left an impression on a lot of us when we first sat down to watch ponies.
