NY Toy Fair: The "Fun" Not Doubled: Funrise Drops Plushes, Funko Has Nothing New

In the wake of us getting word from Aurora World and Diamond Select about losing their MLP licenses, we made sure to check in with other manufacturers, specifically Funko and Funrise. Our findings weren't nearly as depressing in that we didn't find much of anything.

I'll break it down below...

Electronic Music: DJT - Sweetness & Lightning [Chillout] / NeoN - A Lovable Heart [Progressive House]

Some electronic music here with a combination of chill and uptempo. First up DJT showcases his abilities to make the more relaxed side of electronic music work just as well as the energetic side. Sweetness and Lightning combines beautiful Fluttershy vocal chops with some pared back percussion, pretty piano and soft ambient sounds in a really lovely way. NeoN has put together a Hearts and Hooves album, and the second track here is a showcase of the kind of style to expect from it, with a wonderful melody throughout a strong arrangement of lighter and more energy-filled parts.

Nightly Discussion #994

A rural route for Derpy must be nice and relaxing, especially with the friendly folks of Ponyville to greet her everyday. I wonder if they slip baked goods in the mailbox for her?

Evening guys, ready to chat?

I see that number 1000 is coming up soon so here is where you guys can shine! Make something Nightly Discussion related, from art to videos to even a quote from yourself you want to share with everyone here, and send it to me at [email protected]! Just be sure to put in the subject header that it is for ND 1000!

Music: iblank2apples - I've Been Dreaming Of Sunshine And Celery Stalks (bank pain Remix) [Drum & Bass]

iblank2apples' original piece is one of my all time favourite pony music tracks, so whenever I see a remix of it, it always excites me. This is my personal favourite remix of it, as it takes and builds upon the emotions initially present with some beautiful sampling, not to mention awesome percussion and bass design that helps to augment the melodic nature of the original. Most of the neurofunk-style drum & bass in the fandom is pretty dark and edgy but this piece is decidedly upbeat, and pulls off the desired atmosphere wonderfully. Check it out below for a spellbinding experience!

Smash Mouth All Star Sung by PONIES!

Ignore that blurryness up there. Ponies were meant for Smash Mouth. I can only imagine how long it took to compile this one up. Pretty much every word is a completely different scene across the entire show.

Go get ponies singing All Star below!

Morning Discussion #773

Bunny Dash doesn't look all that pleased with this outfit. Pinkie might have wanted her to get in the mood for Easter but this might just a little too much.

Morning everyone! Ready to chat?
