Why not some party pony on the last day of the year? Hope you're all having some fun tonight!
But while you're taking a break from all the partying, why not chat a little? Or heck, have your own little party in the comments!

I totally had a new years Trixie heading this to start, but then I realized it would probably get me in all sorts of trouble if it wasn't hidden by a tag, so have Applejack Samus instead, which is equally cool.
Now go get art!

Check out the full presser after the break!

Description: Long ago, before the ponies came to this land, the buffalo roamed free across the hills and plains, and the stampedes could run from mountain to sea without fear. In those days, a buffalo brave, Falling Rocks, became legend. Come, listen to the tale of how he saved his people. A story of buffalo mythology.

We do have a habit of getting underfoot...Hey guys! In just one short hour the staff of Equestria Daily (Blogponies and Pre-Readers or at least as many as we can track down) will be going live to chatter and answer questions! find it over here and feel free to throw questions at us down below.We'll update this post when it goes live. Hope to see you there. -
Celestia and Discord from the POP! lineup that Funko creates are now appearing in stores. Discord in particular is available over at the Hot Topic website if you don't feel like making the trip. Celestia was found at Hot Topic (and is labeled as an exclusive) while Discord was snagged at a comic store called Newbury Comics.
It might be best to call around before making the trips, as stock on Funko figures in general is always a little bit random. Hell, it took me 2 months to get Rarity and Daring Do.
Thanks to Swift Blaze and t.K for the heads up!

Comic: Twilight's Magical Solutions / A Deadly Feast / Diamond and Dazzle: Session / The Royal Flu 5
Maybe giving Twilight all that power wasn't such a good idea. Celestia should totally do psych profiles on any pony she wants to make into an alicorn.

New Years Eve is here everyone! Got any big plans to kick off 2015? I know I'll be dining with family as we wait for the ball to drop!
Ready for a chat my friends?

Arriving soon in many card shops, comic stores, and hobby locales across the US is the latest issue of Game Trade Magazine, commonly given out free to customers. And, included in Issue #179 of GTM is an exclusive alternate art promo version of this excellent blue Ultra Rare from Premiere Edition: Rainbow Dash, Winged Wonder!
Winged Wonder is a great addition to practically any blue deck. Don't play blue? This is excellent trade fodder. Either way, you can't lose. This issue of GTM is going to fly off the shelves, so be sure to check in with your friendly local game shop soon! -
The CMC are just adorable little fillies! We get such great artwork of them around this time of year. Sing your hearts out girls!
Evening everyone, ready to chat?

We have another thing to look forward to this Spring, with Fluttershy now available for pre-order at 4DE! The estimated release period is some time in March, and as is the norm for plushies from these guys, they can sometimes be pretty tricky to acquire. I'm not usually into the pre-order thing, but in this case it's a good idea if you want one. They are going to go fast, just like last time.
On top of that, the unicorn version of Twilight Sparkle is getting another run before they shift over to Alicorn. She joins Fluttershy for a March 2015 release period. It's about time she popped up again!

Dang, it's a good thing that Rainbow Dash stuck with Tank! If you let her have whatever she wanted it probably would be something that could endanger the town.

One thing is for certain, the pony community definitely takes the show's "friendship" morals to heart. From meetup groups to giant conventions, getting together and celebrating Friendship is Magic is just something the fandom does.
There are a lot of them, and not everyone is so social. I wonder how many people out there simply lurk the various pony based things o n the internet, but never get involved beyond that?
I guess it will be difficult to get them to come out of the woodwork and comment, but for the rest of you, have you ever been to a MLP meetup or convention? Was it your first time meeting people from online in person? How did your experience go? Hit the comments up with your story!

Apparently, Hasbro ran out of ideas and just sell the logo itself on things now. This case was found at a Toys R' Us in New York. Apparently it has a button to press on the "My" part, though no batteries are included.
I'm more confused at a toy that is literally just the log than anything else.
Thanks to Lauryn for sending it, and get more random merch below!

With the pony Armageddon joining the swarm of other Hasbro toy brands doing incredibly well right now, Hasbro's main franchises have jump a whopping 36%. This includes My Little Pony, Transformers, Play-Doh, and Magic: The Gathering. While it isn't split per brand like normal, quite a few toys have released in the last year that would probably point toward pony being a big chunk of that increase.
Here's to hoping it keeps going! More money in Hasbro's pocket means potentially better ways to not give us giant gaps of time with no pony! I need side a side series.
The full article with all the specific percentages can be found over here.

As one of the best Horoscope ponies from a few years ago, Capricorn clearly needed to be loved. A restaurant in Manila, Philippines is taking it to the next level though, with an entire restaurant branded with her glorious visage. Either this is a photoshop (and a good one at that with the reflections on the sign on the upper left), or we may have a new brony meetup location for all you Filipino people (I had no idea that was spelled with an F, why is that?) .
Lets hope someone from Hasbro sees it and opens some Horoscope pony restaurants over here in the states!
Thanks to Jason for the heads up.
(Update: Turns out it is completely legit, providing karaoke, Drinks, and... Prostitutes.)

Here's something I bet a lot of people would like in their houses. Someone painted a giant pony wall mural of Canterlot and Celestia over on imgur. I guess if you have the talent and wallspace, you might as well fill it with a painting! Now we need a Luna one, along with more information. I wonder how long it took them?
Would you paint an entire wall in your house with ponies?
Thanks to Khalua for the heads up.

For those outside of the UK looking to pick one of these Sunset Shimmer's up, she appears to be popping up in two more locations for the US/Canada residence. Amazon has her listed at 16.99
with 18 up as of the creation of this post.
Along with that, if you prefer the more physical retailers, people have mentioned that she has been spotted at both Target and Walmart. We don't have images of those though.
Thanks to Izerae, Meltonk, and everyone else for sending them!
