As Hasbro heads off to the Las Vegas International Licensing Expo some news about their brands has been released, in particular MLP:FiM! According to the Wall Street Journal, which published a press release from Hasbro, we can expect Season 5 to return this fall. A lot better than the speculated date of 2015 at the latest, eh? Hopefully this date is the real deal and it doesn't get pushed back.
Other tidbits include that MLP represents a $650 million market in 2013 across all consumer products and that EqG was the top selling Fashion Themed Doll for Christmas according to retail tracker NPD.
