Random Merch: Hats, Playsets, And More!

We Love Fine has a new Derpy hat for those that can't get enough of the mailmare. It looks like that one is clocking in at 22 dollars even.

The second item up there is called a "Tin-Tastic Activity Set", which includes stickers, the collector tin, two pencils, and those erasers you see in the image.  Found over here, as well as here.  Thanks to Ally for those, pre-orders are for September.

We have loads more stuff below the break as always! Go check it out!

PMV: Not Letting Go (Typography) / Rare Diamonds

Rarity is amazed you are all voting for her.  She also has another PMV.  I figured I'd get this one up to celebrate the occasion!

And in the other slot, we have a Not Letting Go typography video.  Hit them both up below the break!

Lets just call today "EQD is a few minutes late on everything" day.  I blame video games.

1.) Not Letting Go[Typography]
2.) Rare Diamonds - Sim Gretina PMV

Rarity Winning Hub Poll

Apparently you Rarity fans are pretty motivated about voting every single day, because shes winning over at The Hub's best pony poll.  My guess is the Fluttershy fans are too shy to vote, and the Twilight ones are off solving world hunger and curing parkinsons. 

Find the poll here!

Story: Playing With My Heart (Update Part 11!)

[Sad][Shipping]

Author: Scribbler

Description: Four years ago Vinyl and Octavia broke up. It was messy, painful and left scars on both of them. Four years on, now one of the most successful DJs in Equestria’s history, Vinyl receives news that Octavia has been in a terrible accident. The doctors say she may never recover from her coma, but Vinyl refuses to believe them. There are all sorts of stories about coma patients who are brought back by the voice of someone they care about, right? No matter what anypony else says, offers or threatens, and no matter what it costs her personally or professionally, she is determined to stay by Octavia’s side and do all she can to wake her.

But four years is a long time, and no matter how many fairytales end with the princess waking up, real life owes no-one a happy ending.

New Fall Release DVD - A Pony For Every Season

Shout Factory has another DVD way off in the horizon, releasing on the 19th, or right before season 4.  That technically locks it away from having any new episodes on it, but for those collecting the current set, this looks to be following the same trend as the last ones.  Unfortunately it doesn't have an episode list.  I'm sure that will pop up soon though.  Find the pre-orders for it over on DVD Empire. 

Thanks to Candygram for the heads up!

Drawfriend Stuff #883

All this TF2 stuff lately has me wanting to hop over there and give it a play.  I'm not guaranteeing anything yet, but we might be doing that tonight if you all are bored.  Gotta try out my new Fluffle Puff hat anyway!

Onward to art!

Discussion: Pony Genetic Engineering - Build a Pony!

SCIENCE!  New breakthroughs are happening all the time around the world!  Unfortunately that pesky ethics thing is getting in the way again, and Hasbro's super secret (hypothetical) underground science division has been stifled for the past two years.  Fear not though! A management change has unlocked countless new opportunities, and you have been hired on for the new "Create real life ponies" project!

Starting with human intelligence as a base (they collected a bunch of preserved brains, so don't worry about that aspect), you need to pick up to five other animals/forms of life here on earth to mash together to create the closest thing possible to a candy colored Equine from Equestria.  Be sure to be specific! If you want a pegasus, it better have something with feathers!

Now go! Science waits for no one, and already I have wasted too much precious time explaining the requirements! 

IDW Limited Return of Queen Chrysalis Set

As many of you have probably noticed by now, IDW Limited is a section of IDW that deals in the exclusive high quality collectable area.  You may have also noticed their recent releases of various comicfolios that include various special edition pieces for all you hardcore collectors.  This is probably the epitome of that, or at least I hope it is!  The Return of Queen Chrysalis Six Copy Set clocks in at a whopping $750, and includes six books, each with a hand-drawn signed sketch card, as well as the soon to be sold separately six part limited series folios.

If you want to take a gander at it, head on over here!

Update: They also have a huge tumblr post going into detail about each specific item included.  Find that here. 

Bronycon Panel Writeup: Voice Actors I

 

Welcome to the Nicole Oliver hour! Well, it certainly seemed that way from all the questions she fielded.

Equestria Daily's coverage of Bronycon 2013 begins with the first voice actor panel of a very long and fun-filled weekend. Taking the stage today were Lee Tockar, Nicole Oliver, Cathy Weseluck, Brenda Crichlow, Maddy Peters, and Michelle Creber. Y'all know the drill; hit the break for all the gab!

Jayson Thiessen Appreciation Event Finale

Calpain is off doing Bronycon stuff, so I'm here covering for the Jayson Thiessen appreciation post! On top of the art submissions from pretty much every single demographic in the fandom (we even got quite a few sub-12 year old kids who wanted to toss their thanks into the mix!), feel free to give him some love in the comments, or over at his Twitter Account.  The guy has been here truckin away at pony since the beginning.  That deserves a round of applause!

Now go hit those comments up, and you can find the art below as well.

Spotlight Vocal Music: Snowdrop (Cover by Forest Rain) / First Night Outside

It looks like we completely missed this first one.  You guys are slacking on the music submits lately!  I blame our lack of responses for the last year or so.   My bad~

We start off with an excellent Snowdrop soft rock track from Forest Rain, followed by a Nicholas Dominique/Giggly Maria collab running with the opposite side of the spectrum via a bit of Chillout.  Check both out below the break!

2.) Nicolas Dominique & Giggly Maria - First Night Outside

Bootleg Pony Set, with Beer

We see a lot of bootleg ponies out there.  Usually they aren't as bold as these guys though.  "My Sweet Pony" tries to hit all the demographics! Not only are you getting both a G4 Fluttershy and G3.5 something toy, but they even threw in a bottle of beer for the adults out there. 

This glorious piece of merchandise was found in Finland for €19!

Thanks to Imperial Pint for the heads up.

Nightly Roundup #728

I don't know how many of you are reading a nightly roundup from Baltimore right now, but South Park Taoist has created this really need ponified guidebook for the city.  Click the image above to go get it!

As for Bronycon itslf, expect some panel highlights similar to what we did for Comic Con this time around. Pony conventions are usually a lot more strict on what they can and cannot reveal, but we will see how it all pans out.

Galacon is also happening, though we don't have anyone attending it sadly.  If any major news pops up, I'm sure you guys will flood us with it!

Anyway, have some roundup stuff! Find it all below.
