Pony Most Likely Getting a Renewal on Netfix

Following up on our report earlier about Friendship is Magic dropping off of Netflix on the 2nd of February, A second Customer Service representative has pointed out that these licenses expire and renew all the time, and there shouldn't be anything to worry about. 

Similar to the last one, the CSR will be forwarding over the "please keep pony!" response.  I wouldn't recommend spamming their poor overworked chat people, but this has apparently made them aware at least.

Chances are we will see it renew.  If it doesn't, we can complain afterward right?

Thanks to Colin for the image.

Friendship is Magic Apparently Dropping from Netflix on the 2nd of February

Image from Sonic Rainderp! 

While January 1st didn't mark the end of Friendship is Magic on Netflix, it appears that February 2nd may be the date when it officially does leave the streaming service.  The image above lists the "availability" date, and multiple calls and chats to Netflix has confirmed that it is legit.

There may be a way to save it though.  A few moments ago I spoke to one of their representatives on the live chat service to double confirm. They basically confirmed it, but also noted that my account would be marked letting the higher ups know that there is demand for it to remain. Here's to hoping we can get a renegotiation going on the contract with Hasbro

You can find the full transcript below the break!

Brenda Hickey MLP:FF #15 SPOC Sneak Peek 5

Well, that was a fun trip visiting the grand-folks this past week. Cal, much thanks for taking over the SPOC Sneak Peeks while I was gone.

Anyways, Brenda's thrown up another panel. Only this time she was being sneaky and posted it on her facebook fan page instead of her twitter account. 

For those of you who want to be spoiled, you can find the context for the commentary from Brenda below.

Sunset Shimmer Joins Doctor Whooves in Upcoming POP Pony Release

Good news for all of you looking to create the frankenstien offspring of your favorite ships via swappable manes and tails! We have more POP figures on the way from a new unreleased lineup.  As with the others, they appear to once again have a swarm of cutie marks and symbols, joining the seemingly major focus of 2015.  Did the Doctor ever wear multiple ties? Cause this one does.

Expect them some time this year as always. Packaging images below the break.

Now we just need a Funko Sunset Shimmer!

Thanks to Lyrahooves and Ah Smaug for the heads up!

The More Most Dangerous Game Writing Contest Prize Updates

Edit: Stories can be submitted from websites other than fimfic.
Hey, guys! Equestria Daily's running a writing contest again.

To celebrate the advent of Season 5 come spring, we're bringing you a blast from the past with the More Most Dangerous Game! Check down below the break to see what this entails.

Discussion: What Character Evolution Do You Want to See Your Favorite Pony Go Through in Season 5?

Every season, it seems like Twilight Sparkle here goes through some humongous change that SHAKES THE FOUNDATION OF EQUESTRIA.  The rest of the mane 6? Not so much.  Their changes tend to be incidental to their specific episodes, though we do get some continuity (Rainbow Dash and reading for example).

Good Citizens of Equestria Daily, you once again have one of those hypothetical blank checks to evolve any character you wish from the show with your very own episode.  It can be a tiny emotional change that improves Rainbow Dashes ability to not come off as a douchebag, or as major as turning Fluttershy into a dragon, the choice is entirely yours!

Who gets the evolution treatment? Which pony is season 5 going to revolve around? Get it done in the comments below! And no need to limit yourself to the Mane 6.  Luna can totally take Trixie on as an apprentice if you want... (please)

Applejack Ships with ALL the Ponies, the PMV - Miss Jackson

(It's hard to even get a clean screenshot with all these SHIPPING PMV EFFECTS)

(Rarijack is best Applejack ship)

These shipping PMV things fall into their own categories I think.  The amount of effects they usually have borderlines on obnoxious, and nopony is safe from the shipping tornado.

Head on down below the break for Applejack hooking up with ALL the cartoon mane 6 elemental harmonizing horses.

Metal MLP Decorations at Hobby Lobby

 While they seem to be using the usual pony vectors, this is the first time we've seen metal plated poster things in pony form.  Hobby Lobby has each of these for 18 bucks a pop, in their own display case at that. Heres to hoping we get some original art up in here! They did it for the poster book's internal stuff after all.

Thanks to Steven for the heads up!

Comic: Never Use Fireworks / Mud Bath / Sonatateeny / A Change of Heart 2 / The Best of Intentions 4 / Student of the Night 54 / Children of Everfree 8 / I Will Never Leave You 10

I guess Equestria needs to work out some rules on no fly zones if this sort of thing keeps happening. I'd expect there to a permanent one over Sugar Cube Corner as long as Pinkie is in residence.

This is What Happens to Neglected Walmart Twilight Sparkle Plushies

Poor Twilight Sparkle =[.  Sitting on the shelf over at a Walmart for years.  She tried to pull off a scrunchie face after hearing how much we love ponies with scrunchie faces, but it didn't quite work out. 

Maybe next time Twilight...

Thanks to Chelsea for the heads up!
