Fluttershy, even when not mind-melted by Glimmy, has no fear of spiders. She is friend to all animals. Except fish. She doesn't care about fish.
You hear your door open and close and find this in your entryway. How do you react? What do you do to deal with a spider-covered Fluttershy?
This post brought to you by: nothing to post. May the hiatus guide us to g5's specials.
The soapboxes continue! As always, these are the opinions of fandom members, not us here at EQD. If you'd like to submit your own soapbox, hit up this post for infos.
Have some headlines
Pins, buttons, and keychains have always been a big part of our little fandom here. Pretty much every artist out there that sells at conventions has done one of the three. We;ve got another one up on Kickstarter from Squididdle, starring all four of the princesses in enamel form.
If you are interested in hopping on board, you can find them all over here, along with prices. It doesn't look like there are any stretch goals, so I'd expect a round 2 if these end up being successful!
As always with kickstarter projects, do your own due-diligence. Make sure you are comfortable with the creator.
It's not often we have a dragon header here. Ponies are just too perfect not to header with.

MightyJaxx has started a brand new licensed merch line following up on the success of their X-Ray dissectible ponies, with a much more adorable twist this time around. Gone are the exposed bones and organs, instead replacing the concept with ridiculously adorable chibi versions of the mane 6.They are about as polar opposite as you can get from their predecessors.
I grabbed a box of them for review! How do they hold up against the other collectible figures we've had over the years, or even the dissectible ponies from before? Find out below as I unbox and take a bunch of pictures of all of them, for science!
The humanized and anthro ponies return, with another one of these compilations! Check em all out below as always~
LittleshyFiM has gone all out and released a full, "Everything Wrong With" for the My Little Pony: A New Generation Movie! It's a full 15 minute long journey dissecting every little bit of our newest generation of colorful horses. Expect sins. So many sins. Also typos. Something I'm great at here on EQD!
Go check it out below.
Plushie time! We've got a great selection of them today, along with two spinny embeds that show off the pones from various angles. Check it all out below!
My Little Pony: Generations #5 released the usual information earlier this month via solicitations, but failed to include a cover shot! We now have it, starring the three ponies that have been seen throughout it's teasers and spoilers.
Up above is what you can expect if you pick up Cover A. We will see if they get around to releasing the rest some time soon.
Thanks to Edward for the heads up.
We've gone through a ton of phases over the years, with some major in-fandom trends popping up then eventually dying out over time. With a new generation now, some old faces have started popping up and producing stuff similiar to what they used to, but it will never be the same as it was way back when.
What is something the oldschool pony fan used to do that you miss now? Whether it be bombarding the world with Doctor Who crossovers or crafting mountains of custom ponies, it's up to you! What do you want to see us bring to G5?
Glimmy needs more plushie love. I want a lifesize of her some day.

We've got a gap until Luna day arrives, so lets celebrate it with some Izzy! The rest of the mew mane pones will get days later in the year, so expect them eventually. For now, it's Mooooonbow time.
Your mission is to create Izzy stuff and send it before her day on the 6th December!
To submit, send an email to [email protected] with IZZY DAY as the subject followed by what it is, so IZZY DAY - OPEN ART for open art. You would title the email that! The deadline is December 5th at 11:59 PM PST so get those Izzy submissions in!

Celia Kaspar is back with another concept piece, this time showing off various ideas they had for Pipp's little crown accessory. And a quite from her instagram:
Here are some variations I did for Pipp's "crown" 👑 The one we chose in the end is heavily inspired by 1920s flapper headpieces!
Thanks to Nectar Shine and Pipp Petals for the heads up!
One more pony-themed release from Sylvver! This one has got a cool concept revolving around Lightning Dust's arc in the show and her rivalry relationship with Dashie. The uplifting and energetic vibes from the Big Room House instrumental seem to reflect Lightning Dust's coolness and sass, and this could make a great villain/rival theme song of sorts! On to the race!
A full album worth of personal stories, expression of emotions, pony concepts, and all kinds of DarkWave greatness, Neverending Scars is Koron's heartfelt and meaningful masterpiece, featuring no less than 25 tracks! Some are vocal skits telling the story, some will bring you all the tasteful Carpenter Brut vibes, and the tracks you've already heard before were reworked and have even new melodic parts! Koron will be uploading the songs on his YouTube channel (one story skit + one music track every weekend), so check those uploads too for drawings made by the musician and further expressing the story and meanings!
Listen to the album on Bandcamp here! And find the first song from it embedded below the break!
This makes me want to go rewatch dragon maid or something.
Time for humans and anthros. Go get them below!

Every year I like to compile up Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals and pop a post up, but apparently this year the selection has either been extremely limited, or completely fake sale-wise. Amazon in particular has a nasty habit this time aaround of ramping the price of things up then "reducing" them back to their regular price to make it look like they are on sale. The website camelcamelcamel is what I use to filter this nonsense out, and it was basically all worthless on the pony side.
Cyber Monday at least has... something! If you were waiting on that G5 advent calendar, they have an actual real sale going on for it for 17.99. According to Camelx3, the normal price is 26.99, so it's a real sale this time. You can find it over here:
My Little Pony: A New Generation Movie Snow Party Countdown Advent Calendar
And joining that is a very small sale on the My Little Pony: The Manga - A Day in the Life of Equestria Omnibus which includes volume 1-3 of the manga. If you haven't read it yet, this one is definitely worth it. The art style alone is wonderful.
Outside of that, it's just fabric of all things. I have no idea if these are on "real" sale since they don't seem to have any price history. You can find them over at the pony section though.
And finally, Walmart has the Sing 'N Skate Sunny figure for $34.97, which is usually $50
Thanks to Abi for the heads up!
Poor Scootaloo. She does look pretty good in that costume though. Have some links!
The Washouts
A Rockhoof and a Hard Place

Spreading even more wise and inspiring messages, Thunder Dash took the chance of Thanksgiving to make a song meant to inspire people to relativize and be grateful for what they have. Read the wonderful description on YouTube to feel more of the musician's intents and feelings, and let this emotional and deep piano piece give you solace and make you realize how good it is to be thankful and to say "thank you"! For your important things, but just for being alive and being surrounded by people who care, too! And if you feel alone, always remember that you can come to me!
As for me, my biggest wish in life is actually to be able to say "Thank You" to whoever/whatever gave me my soul and the ability to feel otherworldly powerful emotions of Passion...
The explosion of pony in China is one of the best things to happen in a while. They have so many creative people over there! We've got a new Autumn Blaze for you all to check out today from TinyBenz over on Deviant Art. They also popped a timelapse up of her creation. Find that below!
Pone is music. Embrace pone.

A spanish speaking animation college recently grabbed a few of the big names from the My Little Pony: A New Generation movie to talk about the work they did on it, and part of the panel included some really neat early concepts of what all they were cooking up. This included a shot at Fluttershy as a unicorn, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle in 3D forms.
The full video can be found here. Unfortunately it's all Spanish, but hopefully we can get some translation going soon!
People are already uploading pictures of the panel everywhere, so I've grabbed a few someone submitted and popped them below showing off a few of the things I mentioned above.
Yesterday we had a discussion post about what you think G5 is doing right! The best thing it does to keep you happy. Today we flip the script and do some complaining!
Is there something about G5 that you dislike? Are there things it does that aren't quite up to that G4 standard we've lived with for the last decade?
Discuss below!
