Nightly Roundup #1143 - Fluttershy Finally Gets a Break!

Poor Fluttershy. Her Hearts and Hooves days are always spent dodging her army of hopelessly obsessed admirers.  Even before her launch to stardom in season one, colts and anons everywhere would line up and throw enough candy at her to feed her animals for an entire month.

Now that she can relax, we get the community news going. Get it all below!

Nightly Discussion #262

Almost forgot about this! Hopefully you had a good Hearts and Hooves day. And if you are here reading this, you probably need some Rainbow Dash, so have some Rainbow Dash.

Now go discuss things. Discuss Rainbow Dash. Is she actually good at that element of loyalty thing?

Story: Tea and Cakes

[Slice of Life]

Author: Gizogin

Description: Twilight Sparkle is a mare of legend. Time and again, she has faced impossible threats, and with the help of her friends, she has always triumphed. Nightmare Moon, Discord, Sombra, Sunset Shimmer, and now Tirek have tried and failed to best her, and each trial has only made her stronger still. But what of the oldest princesses? Luna and Celestia may be old beyond imagining, and they've seen things that would drive lesser beings mad. Before that, though, they are sisters. Sisters fight. Sisters get angry with each other. Sisters forgive.

Tea and Cakes

Drawriend Stuff #Cadance is Best Pony (Part 1)

Almost three years ago in a fandom far, far away, the Princess of Love was revealed, completely destroying any kind of canon foundation for the land of Equestria and it's dual Moon/Sun rulers. Quite a few fans weren't too pleased at the idea of a new alicorn butting in. "Down with Princess Product Placement!" they'd scream. Our newest cast member had an obvious reason for existing what with toys appearing long before the episodes aired. 

Fortunately for her, the big Cadance debut turned out awesome. Canterlot Wedding was one of the most well loved arcs of the series, with Disney level scores, filly Twilight being adorkable, a villain that still tops the charts these days, and a remarkable use of a princess that many weren't expecting much out of.

Fast forward to 2015, and Cadance has gained a massive following.  She may not win "best princess" polls, but the fandom has responded with more amazing lovebutt content than should be legal.  And so begins a swarm of it for all of you to peruse!

This is part one of two for the sake of people's computers. Expect around 80 Cadance images in each!

Now go get some Cadance!

The Super Happy Hearts and Hooves Lovefest Fanfic Event has cometo a close, and it's time to UNLEASH THE PONY LOVE!

Toy Fair 2015 Hasbro Floor - Upcoming Giant Apple Family Set, Friendship Games Motorcycles, POP Figures and More!

Hasbro's main show floor is now officially open, and all of it's pony goodness available for prying eyes. Hasbro's primary focus, as mentioned in the panel earlier, is to explore Equestria and provide playsets with the focus on world building.  The Friendship is Magic Apple Family sets were the first ones revealed a few days ago, and this is how Hasbro envisions their setup.

Along with that, we have the Equestria Girls: Friendship Games motorcycles and archery dolls.  It's going to be a busy and expensive year for those of you collecting them.

Head on down below the break for more images of the showroom! 

Update: More images added!

Toy Fair 2015 - High Fashion Clothing Lines Based on My Little Pony on the Way in 2015

While images are strictly prohibited, the Hasbro Toy Fair entertainment panel just revealed that we will be seeing "High fashion clothing lines" based on My Little Pony for 2015.

The exact specifics on that are a mystery, but expect us to snag any bit of info we can get as it arises!

And in other news, they are pushing "Cutie Mark Magic" like crazy, so expect more of that too!

Brony Music...ish?: Butterfly / Две Деньги (В. Д'ркин) / Just Three Days

So, brony music. We have another one of these posts for you all today, hitting that fringe "is this pony?" category along with some well known brony musicians branching out a bit.

The first song bounced around a bit from new group "Plum Creek Rhythm Section". We've been told it is based on Fluttershy, but it lacks the hooves. Brony Music seems like a good place for that!

And the second song comes from Lenich and Kirya, who you may know from the various sounds they have created over the years, along with their recent Love Me Cheerilee collab. This one isn't pony based, but it's really well done anyway.

And finally, Mando does a Majora's Mask song!

Now go get the music below!

1.) Plum Creek Rhythm Section - "Butterfly (Fly Away)" [Official Lyric Video]
2.) Lenich & Kirya — Две Деньги (В. Д'ркин)
3.) "Just 3 Days" - Majora's Mask song by MandoPony | The Legend of Zelda

Ponies are getting a bit chubby over here. New My Little Pony licensed Pillow Pets are apparently on the way if these images from Toy Fair 2015 are any indication. According to the box, they apparently light up.  Expect them later in the year!

Thanks to Renic for he heads up. 

Toy Fair 2015 - Funko Shining Armor and Spike Arriving Spring 2015

I actually know quite a few people that were put off about the lack of Spike from Funko, but he's on his way if this display at Toy Fair 2015 is any indication. That's actually some really impressive detail on the Shining.  Here's to hoping the pre-orders appear for them soon!

(Update Cadance joins Shining Armor and Spike!)

Thanks to Renic for he heads up and PopVinyls for the image! 

Toy Fair 2015 - Funko Hikari Rainbow Dash Vinyls

The Russian LUNA (Remix) is Awesome

This Sayonara Maxwell guy is a Russian badass. Usually his stuff is straight covers which we don't usually spotlight, but he went full rock remix for LUNA. Now go listen to it below the break! 

After the Fact: The Cakes

It's Hearts and Hooves day, and even if you don't celebrate it, everyone celebrates CAKES. Or in this case, the pony couple. I don't like their babies a whole lot (they still creep me out), but these two are a pretty awesome couple. Super down to earth, friendly, and a seemingly large impact even without a huge focus on the two.

Head on down below the break for After the Fact: The Cakes!

Flash Sentry Doll Revealed at Toy Fair 2015

Just in case you were curious on your chances with Twily here on Valentines Day, it looks like Flash Sentry and his Greek god anime muscles are going to have a thing or two to say about that.

I actually had to double check and make sure we didn't post this, considering we were all blabbering about it hours ago when Hasbro tweeted it.  Anyway, get the full size image here. Expect more Toy Fair stuff later today.
