@Neon. Sadly, from what I've heard is that even though Discord is A popular character Hasbro is still debating weather or not to give him a figure. I would expect at the very least A PVC eventually but other then that, not sure. Hopefully though we will see A nice deluxe Discord figure someday! Also u see the new ep yet? If so what did you think?
Which new episode? I saw the one with Spike babysitting the pets, it was okay, I mean, after the Discord one, it seemed, more like a filler to me. But that rabbit is a little jerk, but then again, so is Spike.
Yeah, a 12 inch Discord statue would be cool, did you see the one on the Documentary? If not, you should watch it and that interview with John De Lancie, he talks a little about it.
@Neon: New Episode "Season 3 Episode 12" was on yesterday, called "Games Ponies Play" its the story that runs parallel the Spike one, about the Ponies in the Crystal Empire trying to get them to host their worlds version of the Olympics, not anything special, but nice for a more SOL style ep.
Then next Saturday is the season 3 finale! Hope its good *Knock on wood*
Also should have some pics of the Other NON-MLP Hasbro Toy-Fair stuff up in the 2013 TF thread tomorrow! Waiting to find some good pics of any potential 2013-2014 Star Wars figs...so yeah.
Well I enjoyed the new ep, I'm really glad to have the Crystal Empire developed beyond just "oooh pretty crystal" especially after the season 3 premier. Ugh.
Also Chrysalis and Shadowbolt Dash toys, you're mine.
That last Crystal Empire episode was pretty good - I was actually hoping they would have an episode that showed what happened with Twilight and Co while Spike was doing his thing with the pets. Overall it was an entertaining episode, but it didn't really blow me away so to speak.
@FMP: Yeah hope we actually see the Games they tried so hard to get hosted there in season 4. And yeah lots of awesome Pony sway coming out this year! But yeah the Set with Derpy & Chrys as well as the Shadowbolt Dash all come out at Toys R Us In August.
@Neon: Yea, pretty casual episode, nothing mind blowing, but nice-relaxing fun.
Anywho one important thing I have to post, theres a "Leaked picture" of the "Equestria Girls" DTV Movie, floating around places like Tumbler & Twitter, again the image is most likely fake or from the early stages of the specials development, the source is unknown but the gal that spread it is an EX MLP:FIM Community member that has a grudge against some of the current Story-Board Artists and musicians. So yeah, if yo u see THIS image, don't let it freak you out because 1. there is NO context, and 2. It is most likely NOT the final product. and 3. As mentioned the Equestria Girls spin-off DOES NOT effect the main series and as of now is just a DTV/ Made For TV special that Hasbro is using to launch a line for "older girls" again I doubt it'll catch much wind past the initial 66 minute piolit. And again there is NO legit evidence this is from Hasbro or DHX Media. As of now this Image is to be considered FAKE or a Mock-Up *Place Holder* style image, the actual visual style & story for the special will NOT be revealed until Comicon this summer along with the series writers plans for Season 4 of Friendship Is Magic.
Edit: Found this funny meme from the latest ep on Toonzone... Those Ponies, they try to seduce us with their eyes, they are sirens hypnotizing us into watching their cute cartoon forever! XD
The article is pretty promising, concretes the fact EQG is indeed a spin-off that will not effect the mane series, it also mentions Hasbro is determined to keep Friendship Is Magic going for quite some time, now that it has broken the usual 65 episode mark and has a 4th season confirmed, they seem to indeed be wanting to make it the HUB's Spongebob *lets all pray it doesn't suffer a sever quality drop later on like the good ol Sponge has! Knock on wood!*
Also HUB posted Another Promo Image for the season 3 finale.
Anywho little pre-game Info dump with season 3 ending here's what we know about the future of the Franchise
MLP:FIM Season 4
- Will be 26 Episode
- One of the seasons Story Arcs involves Twilight's next level of training *since she's an Alicorn Princess now & all that*
- Appleblooms Cousin Babs Seed will continue to make Apperances *Hopefully we will see her Manehatten CMC Branch
- And on the technical side....Amy Keating Rodgers & Fullerton are returning to write episodes for season 4 (AKR did some of the more popular season 1 eps)
- There is 1 new writer on the show *she only has 1 episode though*
- Meghan McCarthy is still head Story Editor
- Cindy Morrow is still in charge of CMC Episodes
- Corey Ann Powell will have an episode in season 4 * I really hope its a follow-up to Sleepless In Ponyville"
- Season 4 will air late 2013
- HUB plans to keep MLP:FIM around as long as its profitable & gets good ratings *so if season 4 does well expect a season 5! Knock on wood*
Equestria Girls
- Series will start with a 66 minute movie
- First Season starts in slated for Spring 2013 *but could also be summer as HUB is prone to delays at times*
- Given how most first seasons work it will most likely be 26 episodes
- No writing team or voice cast has been revealed
- Hasbro is introducing the new I.P. in full at a "Pink-Carpet"Event this summer at Comi-con
- Toyline will feature humanized versions of mane six
- Future of show & toyline depends on initial success
- is experiment to brake out into Bratz/Monster High Market *so if it fails it won't get anything past the first season & first wave of toys*
So yeah HUB/Hasbro have BIG Plans for MLP. I'm glad they want to keep FIM around, still not sure about this new Spin-Off though, i'll give it a chance, but not expecting much out of it, still could at least be watchable, so who knows! Lets all hope for the best! *knocks on wood 9000 times!*
