Brony Census Reminder

Yeah, I know I used a voting picture for a survey, close enough! After all, you are being counted so it's pretty much the same thing, right? Anyhow the Brony Census is coming to a close in roughly a week and they'd like to remind you all to make your voice heard so we can get a better idea about the demographics of the fandom. Check after the break for the link and the brief official blurb from them!

Princess Twilight Toy In Action

It looks like most of this toy is going to follow the same trend as the other large talking pony toys, including the corny lines.  It's obviously not really a brony-centered toy, but I'm sure some of you will get a kick out of hearing Twilight be a pretty pinkish-purple princess. 

Head on down below to check it's motions and voice clips out!

Steven Magnet is Actually Steven Magnet, and more Toys!

This is another view of those toys announced earlier.  It looks like not only do we have a name for the Manticor now (Manny Roar), but Steven Magnet actually pulled off the name Steven Magnet.  I want this set sobad.

Oh, and Fluttershy finally has her own mold, which was in the earlier images.  It only took 2 years!

Toyark also has better views of all the toys, and a few more including:

Flim/Flam
Smatypants
Twist
Silver Spoon
Cheerilee
And one of those tattoo color-able ponies in the form of Luna.  Find those below and after the break!

Thanks to Pegasus Resue Brigade and Thomas for the heads up!

Regarding the Fighting is Magic Takedown: A Followup Editorial

Disclaimer: Equestria Daily does not employ any legal experts. The following editorial is highly speculative, and although it attempts to be informative, it represents only our best understanding of the situation and the underlying laws. Please consult with an actual lawyer when taking any actions based on the opinions expressed below, and help avoid the spread of legal misinformation. Thank you.

After two years of intensive labor, the highly polished fan project/tournament quality fighting game, Fighting is Magic, has been given a Cease and Desist order by Hasbro and officially shut down production. Top pony scientists are describing the event as "really really lame". But why did it happen, and why now? And what can we do about it?

Story: Certain Advantages

[Comedy] "A tale of royal elegance and conduct that threatens to ruin many a keyboard with a well-deserved spit-take or two." -Pre-reader who just doesn't know what went wrong

Author: The Descendant

Description: It's Sisterhooves Social time again. This year, Dash catches wind of two new competitors and gets Spike to bet on the race. When her team is revealed to be a rather famous set of siblings, it looks like poor Spike will be her slave for a week! However, due to a team of masseurs, a minor invasion, unfortunate addictions, and dubious barrel components, victory might not be as near as she thinks...

Plushie Compilation #103

If anyone decided to declare war on Equestria I think the sight of Luna in battle gear like this would make me turn tail in retreat. I certainly don't want to get cut up by the Princess of the Night.

Piles of pony plushies can be yours after the break!

Drawfriend Stuff #711

The "I'm glad I was sitting down or the cute would have given me a heart attack" edition.

Seth is usually the one in charge of these, so as a result he's the one with the duplicate entry database that the generator I wrote uses. What I'm saying is if there's any duplicates in here from like a week ago, I do apologize. Can't be helped.

Additional Toy Fair Pictures Surface

With the 2013 Toy Fair just around the corner, we're getting more and more pictures of the MLP toys to appear there. If my eyes are not mistaken- and I do believe they're not- I spy an Octavia and a Lyra in that bunch. Is that a Chrysalis? Be still, my cheesehole heart. Soon we shall be able to have our favorite attacked-by-a-hole-punch villain for our very own.

Check the break for more, of course. There's tons, courtesy of Stitch Kingdom.

Story Updates - Super Late Edition

I'm in California, so story updates might be a bit late due to Blogger being a pain when it comes to edit permissions.  Everything else on the site should be the usual though with all the other blogponies on the job!
