It's been two years since the last update of this beautiful comic so let's hope that the artist keeps up the great work and produces some more updates soon.

Pinkie Pies, Pinkie Pies everywhere. How many sins did this many pinkies commit?

Head on down below for the usual everything wrong with!

Nightly Discussion #447

With August's end fast approaching that means that cooler weather is around the corner. Heck, it's going to be 66F for the high tomorrow, something I haven't seen since Spring. If anything at least the fall and winter provide some lovely changes all their own so that's a plus.

Evening my friends, half the week is now over! Ready to chat about it?

Artist Training Grounds V Coming This Friday!

Hello there gang! Phoe and I have gotten a lot of people wondering where the ATG has gone and we're proud to announce that we'll be starting up Round Five this Friday. For 15 days we'll be providing you each night with a theme to draw to, created by best blog pony Phoe!

Make sure to drop in Friday-Saturday night to catch the first theme and get those drawing muscles in shape! We had 8109 images over the last 15 day period, let's see if we can break that record!

Custom Compilation #137

Now this is pretty dang impressive. It's hard enough to customize a pony without clothes, but with clothes you're going the extra mile! Very nice work artist!

Customs are here again finally. Check them out after the break!

Ponymania Chrysalis Doll Now Appearing in Stores

The Ponymania line Chrystalis doll is now apparently making her way into stores. As for this leading to a movie appearance, that is still a complete mystery. Her actual box art model looks pretty cool though! I'm diggin the top left image.

Call nearby Toys R' Us stores if you want one, as she seems to be an exclusive there.

Thanks to Katherine for sending her.

Cheese Sandwich and Pinkie Pie's Apparent Daughter is Now a Bootleg Figure

Every once in a while, we get something weird enough in the knockoff side to post about it. As many of you have probably noticed over the years, quite a few random companies like to emulate ponies, usually pretty badly. This is more... confusing than anything.

We now have what appears to be either a weirdly fused Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich, or maybe a daughter appearing over at a Walmart in Mexico. The figure above is actually a night light, so maybe they just couldn't get her usual pink to work?

Regardless, I am confused. And a little scared.

Thanks to Valente for the heads up!

New Pony Plushie Backpacks Appear in Brazil from "Multikids", Minus Applejack

Poor Appleponi. I think it's probably the difficulty of molding her hat, but she always seems to come last in the pony merchandise lines.  A Brazilian company called Multikids is pumping out pony shaped backpacks over on a site called RIHAPPY. They have a few odd shapes here and there, but I don't think I've seen a perfect pony shaped backpack ever over the years.

Head on down below to check them all out!

Drawfriend Stuff #1625 - Cold Hooves

I wonder how cold snow is on hooves? Wouldn't that be uncomfortable at all? Or do hooves not having any feeling? Can you not give hoof massages? Are all the Spa Pony fanfics out there lies?

Get some art below.

More Wut: It's Muffin Time!

This fandom just keeps getting weirder and weirder. I can't really complain. At least it keeps me surprised in the morning.

We have some more "wut" for you all today, with a pretty good beat in the background. Get some Muffin time and... cows below?

EQLA Looking for Volunteers!

The revival of EQLA is only a couple weeks away, but to make sure the experience is perfect the staff is looking for volunteers! They are looking primarily for badge checkers, line managers, and gophers for con ops while they are also looking for some VIP handlers for the special guests. So if you're interested in helping one of the bigger convention on the west coast check on after the break for the full details.

Probably the Most Normal Day in Ponyville

I'll be honest, we have some pretty weird stuff today. Expect to be confused, dazed, but probably entertained. At least I think that's what this feeling I have is. I can't really tell anymore.

Anyway, get the daily lives of a Ponyvillian below the break.

Tons of New Brushables and Equestria Girls on the Way - Derpy and Nightmare Nights Themes!

Joining those princess ponies from earlier, we have even more new listings on Amazon. It looks like Hasbro might be pulling a Nightmare Night theme at some point with a few new playsets. They could be part of an upcoming Friendship is Magic collection line, or just the usual brushable things we have seen since the beginning. It's worth noting that next in the collectable line appears to be ponyville themed, so it's leaning toward just a set.

We have a few first time brushables joining those, with Mayor Mare joining Derpy in her new "muffins" official branding. to go along with those.

And Then All the Ponies Were Princesses - New Pony Merch Listings on Amazon

I never knew there was a trend out there to turn Cheerilee into an alicorn, but apparently there is. It looks like she is about to get some company if a new merchandise line over on Amazon is any indication. Hasbro has tossed up quite a few "princess" listings for a few of the mane 6, along with some minor characters:

My Little Pony Princess Apple Jack Doll
My Little Pony Princess Cheerliee Doll
My Little Pony Princess Flutterrshy Doll
My Little Pony Princess Luna Doll

(Note: these are the official listing names, with their misspellings.)

Here's to hoping it is either a joke episode, or doesn't actually happen in the show! I wouldn't mind a Princess Big Mac figure, but I don't know if I could handle a princess'd mane cast!

Thanks to Raibushin and James for sending it!

iTunes Preview for Friends Forever #20 - Luna and Discord - Released!

Is everyone ready for a big old storm of CHAOS?!

Well, even if you are you still have a few more weeks until the release. Oh, don't go losing sleep over it. For one thing, I have a feeling that Discord is going to make that far more amusing than anyone else possibly could.

For another, iTunes has been kind enough to toss up their usual three page preview.

You can be sure to check it out—and the nice double-page spread Brenda Hickey show her progress work on—after the break!

"Those vampire bats will give you a fright eating apples both day and night."—Stop the Bats, MLP: FiM S4E07 - Bats!

Oh Princess Luna! I see six mares who are ready to join the Lunar Guard! Just make sure to keep them in a constant supply of apple and I'm positive that they will be the best guards who have ever served you.

…

Yes, I suppose giving the pink one wings is a disaster waiting to happen. Yes, I suppose this would mean that you would have two alicorn princesses in the guard. No, I don't see how there could be any possible confusion with you as the princess of the night. No, I really don't see the problem.

*mutes microphone*

Guys, this recruitment conversation with Princess Luna is probably going to take a little while. I just wish I could show her how awesome the mane six are bat ponies.

Too bad I can't waylay all her concerns just by having her check out the links below.

You can check them out for the usual.

Well, excuse me princess! THAT certainly was rude! Did you kiss your dam with that mouth young princess! No, I don't particularly care if you're old enough to be my…

Aww, poor changeling. Science is great Twilight, but I think this little guy could really use a hug instead don't you think?
