Possible Nurse Redheart on the Way?

Another random pony toy has popped up on Taobao, though there isn't any exact information on her as of yet other than a store page.  Judging by the details (and a 5.5cm mixed in near the middle of the page), it will most likely be a future blindbag or collectable toy from one of those three-pack sets.

Thanks to Chris for the heads up!

Nightly Roundup #648

Fluttershy sure has a wonderful voice, but then again all the ponies do really. They should just form a band and travel Equestria, learning friendship on the road as they belt out some awesome songs.

Time for the news guys! Check it out after the break.

BTVA General Category Announced

The second section of the BTVA Awards has been released, targeting specific VA's in the general category.  This time around, we had two victories in fan favorites:

• Tara Strong for Overall Best Female Voice
• Claire Corlett for Best Female Child Voice

Once again, pony didn't win anything from the staff.  Guess they aren't fans!

You can find the page for these here if you are curious who picked up all the other categories.

Comic: Punny Ponies / REmake-Over / The Tawdry Gift of Life

I absolutely love this artist's Discord! It's spot on and has quite a cool twist on the original design. I'm certainly looking forward to even more comics by him (even though this one is late and we somehow missed it).

Comic time! Click for full.

Drawfriend Stuff #792

Why isn't this a thing? Why can't I live in a world where Nightmare Moon and Darth Vader team up and terrorize the galaxy while Twilight Sparkle and Luke Skywalker both take up jedi training to stop them?

Have some art while I go look for a new dimensions.

 Story updates! Go read stuff!

Next Pony Comic Arc Title Announced

It's a bit of a smaller news item since we already know the synopsis for the first book, but Katie Cook has announced the title for the overall two-comic arc over on Twitter.   It's going to be interesting seeing Big Mac's character explored a bit more, though they could throw us a curveball and drop 70 pages of "Eeeeyup!"

Thanks to Masem for the heads up!

Discussion: Happy Birthday Pinkie Pie!

According to The Hub, today is Pinkie Pie's birthday party! Why today? Why not.

So lets turn it into a discussion post!  You have been teleported to Equestria for one day to make Pinkie Pie's birthday the best pony birthday ever.   What do you do?

Spotlight Instrumental Music: The Life of Pie / Back on the Road

We haven't had a purely instrumental music post in a while.  This one starts with some epic orchestral music dedicated to the life of Pinkie Pie, with a bit of darkness thrown in,  and finishes with a super upbeat track with a some Chim Cherry Chonga influence in the background.  Check them both out below the break, or click the images.  

Hot Minute With Pinkie Pie

I wonder what people think of the titles on these if they see it abbreviated on Twitter.  Hot Topic has released their 4th "Hot Minute" video, this time starring Pinkie Pie. Head on down below the break to check it out!
