It has been rumored for a while now that we would be seeing a second Equestria Girls movie coming out of the pipeline. With Trixie joining the crew as an official doll and all of the instruments added to the overall EG lineup, they had to push it with something.
A user going by the name of Idlemicheal recently returned from the London Toy Fair with some news in regards to said second movie. The title would be something along the lines of "Rainbow Rocks" (following the toyline) with a battle of the bands theme. The full quote is here:
The HUGE push though? The new Equestria Girls movie, Rainbow Rocks. The girls are back and performing in a battle of the bands - each come with their own instruments, and Pinkie has a drum kit! There's a big stage for them to perform on, and loads of other characters will be released for the movie too. Best one? DJ Pon-3, who has a car! With the windshield that looks like sunglasses! That can be removed so you can wear them!
As a few of you pointed out in the submit box, we will probably see a bit of Trixie in this one too considering her very own "Rainbow Rocks" toy is already a thing. Hopefully Hasbro gets some information out soon.
And in other news, he also mentioned a set of "POP" figures with replaceable parts. Apparently you can frankenstien your own Flutterarityalicorn via removable limbs.
One thing they're really pushing is their POP range - basically, build and customise your own ponies. You get these pony bodies that come on sprues that you POP out (get it?) and push together. They come with loads of accessories and have holes all over the body to push said bits and pieces into. You could have, for example, a Fluttershy body with Twilight wings and Pinkie hair, that kind of thing. There'll also be a play set for you to show them off in. Oh, and they're teeny - about 2" high.
Thanks to Rainbow Dash, Masem, and everyone else for the heads up!
Update: For those thinking he may have drawn that conclusion himself, idlemicheal has since replied saying two different Hasbro employees said that these were in fact based on an upcoming movie.
