The Power Ponies Funko Mystery Mini figures are out there in the wild now, and specific retail locations have different exclusives as part of the set. Walgreens is one of those, with a Rainbow Dash, Spike with a cape, and... The head of Mane-iac. Yes, that is apparently what comes with it. Even the box art shows that this is not an error. In a set with a bunch of completed ponies, you get the seemingly decapitated (or constipated) head of the villain.
Regardless, the other two are normal! Go get them below.

Nightly Discussion #912
by Calpain
I wonder what sort of mom, Rainbow would be like or what any of the mane six would be like as mothers? Heck, maybe Rainbow and the others don't want to be mothers in the future. There are good sides to being without children.

And we have two pieces of news coming out about the IDW Comics in one single tweet! First of all, we now know that the story by new writer James Asmus is a three issue arc, and will run from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issues #51 – 53. I was seriously hoping that this arc would last more than one issue, and I am very happy to report that it infact will.
For those of you who need a refresher on the comic arc in question, please check out Equestria Daily's Exclusive Reveal of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #51's Solicitation.
However, the bigger piece of news is that this arc will be tying into My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Season 7. What does that mean? Tell us what you think in the comments below!

A new track from ertrii, this one is a wonderful little prog house tune that builds and rolls along in a really lovely way. With consistent percussion holding the mood of the piece and cute plucks playing along a nice melody throughout a majority of the track it's pretty easy to lose yourself in the feel of this piece. It doesn't ever get particularly hyped up sounding, but a piece like this doesn't really need to, so if that sounds like your thing make sure to give it a listen!

Instead of a comic review today, let's do an anticipatory thought. No, it is not about potential crossovers, though I find that top image a wonderful idea.
The Guardians of Harmony comic is set for digital release tomorrow. Obviously, a big part of this comic is promoting the toy line.
Which raises an interesting question. In a franchised built around a toy sales, is there such a thing as a bad pitch?
This editorial will not feature spoilers for the comic itself, but will instead look back at past cartoons and franchises. This is an old dance, and we have plenty of examples. Click below to have a read!

Friendship is Musical Season 4 Second Half
by Calpain
Friendship is Musical is back as it finishes up the 4th season of MLP by tackling the second half! Next up for them is season 5 I believe and pretty soon Tridashie will have completed the series (I think).
Get it after the break!

I have just been loving Frozen Night's releases recently. It feels like they've crossed that precipice into producing consistently high quality works. This one is no different, an 8 minute orchestral metal epic about Queen Chrysalis. It slides between heavy, powerful metal sections and more serene, light, almost ambient sections as well. The build in power around 4 minutes in is especially enjoyable to listen to. Definitely an awesome piece of work from Frozen, and well worth a listen.

Ah the Polar Express! Did you know that the train used in that movie was based on a local steam engine from my neck of the woods known as the 1225? Such a beautiful piece of machinery.

Nightly Roundup #1384
by Calpain
Our 14 year old artist Tillie has been really busy lately and has another piece of artwork to share with you all tonight. Nice work Tillie! Loving the fluffiness!
We've got something important to note in this particular Roundup! Due to the infrequency of our Roundup schedule due to lack of steady content we have recently collaborated with the MLP Amino where content on EqD will be shared over there while the members of that community are welcome to share material over here. Hopefully this will speed up the Roundup schedule and allow us to share more content than ever before!
Now, onto the news!

More drum & bass from Sky Runner! A remix of FitB's smooth neuro track Manehattan Nights, Sky Runner has dialled up the bpm and the energy of the track. The melodies from the original are just beautifully suited to playing over an absolutely fantastic rolling bass synth that reminds me of early-style Pendulum. A really strong remix that improves upon the original in all the right ways, this is definitely worth a listen!op 20:00

A Fan Artist That Would ROCK on the Official Comic Team - Artist Spotlight and Interview With Gray Day!
by Sethisto
You've probably seen this guy's comics displayed up front and center in our many posts over the years. Gray Day is one of the biggest in the fandom, with incredibly detailed projects in a style that looks even better than the official MLP comics. Whether its the epic that is Of Kings and Changelings, or just a silly joke based on an episode, there is always something to laugh at or enjoy in his Deviant Art Gallery.
Below the break, we bombard him with a bunch of questions then post a bunch of his awesome art, comic and otherwise. Just look at that adorable Marble Pie up there. How could you ever say no to Marble witch?

If you are like me, you probably spend a lot of time around cartoon horses. You wake up to wallpapers of them on your phone, come downstairs to a poster or two, and hop on the computer to browse recent pony things. The mind is constantly bombarded with them, and because of this dreams tend to involve them.
I'm curious on what you have all seen when dozing off into dreamland though. Have you ever had a pony dream? Or a dream about your real life pony involvement? What happened in it?

Music: Silva Hound - EGOMANIA (feat. Black Gryph0n) [Phoxi Remix] [Heavy Electro]
by ExplodingPonyToastPhoxi has done it again with an awesome new heavy track that hits you like a blizzard. As part of Silva Hound's new remix EP for his track with Black Gryph0n, this remix is definitely the craziest of the bunch. Starting out tamely enough with some strong bass sounds and clean percussion, it builds up pretty steadily before hitting with a crazy electro drop full of some pretty awesome and eclectic harsh sound design, that's still pretty accessible in my opinion. Definitely worth checking out if you like heavy stuff! -

Music: Daniel Ingram - BATS (Elias Frost Cover) [feat. KamMer JaEgEr & Ice Gaze] [Metal]
by ExplodingPonyToastElias Frost has teamed up with a couple of other artists to finish up his month of German-language show song covers in a big way! Probably one of the coolest interpretations of this track, the use of different language vocals help this one stick out a lot. The vocals from Ice Gaze are sung in English however, which means there's a bit of both in this track! The instrumental is pretty solid too, and a lot heavier than some of the other recent stuff Elias has done. Make sure to check it out below! -
An armada of voice actors, musicians, and artists have gotten togeather for one big epic radio play project called "No Place Like Home". I'll let you read the description for yourself:
Set during early Season 4, No Place Like Home is the story of love across worlds as Lyra finds herself lost in time and space, thrown into a world where the magic of friendship isn't enough to drive back the darkness and ponies are so splintered by their differences that they are prey for other creatures who stalk the land. Can she make it home? After learning some horrific truths about Equestria, would she even want to?

Electronic Music: DJT - Candy Bits [Future Bass] / DJT - It Isn't (Alikore Remix) [Dubstep]
by ExplodingPonyToastA couple of awesome new electronic tracks! First up is a pre-release track from DJT's upcoming January EP Candy Bits, with a really smooth future bass track. A combination of well placed percussion, awesome future-y chords and some signature DJT-style leads playing some great melodies help make this one of my favourite releases of DJT's so far! The other track is a remix of one of DJT's older tracks, It Isn't. Here Alikore has taken the original and turned it into a heavy dubstep track with a drop that comes in hard with some aggressive bass design carried by a sort of 'flutter-y' synth throughout the drop. Definitely taking the original in a new direction, it's great to hear some new music from Alikore again. Make sure to check both of them out below!op 17:00

Remember that one time Rainbow Dash went to a color run but everyone thought she was already colored so they didn't bother throwing rainbow powder at her, so she went to a nearby craft store and bought a bunch of powder and hit it in her wings to blast people after the run for revenge? Good times.

Orchestral Music: A Symphony Of Two - Pride / CainbowRrash - Requiem For Melodic / Cainbow Rrash - Mane 6 Symphony
by ExplodingPonyToastWe have a bunch of orchestral music here, three track in fact! First up A Symphony of Two return with what is probably one of my favourite releases of theirs yet. Their orchestral mixing definitely seems to be improving, and the transitions between the heavy drum-filled sections and softer string-dominated parts are superb. The next two tracks are from a relatively new orchestral producer called CainbowRrash, who has upped their quality impressively over a short period of time. The first is a bittersweet tribute to the beautiful music of the late Melodic Pony, whilst the second is a beautifully composed ode to the entirety of the mane 6, with all the segments wonderfully fitted to each character, and timestamps in the descriptions for each pony's part. Make sure to check out all three of them below!

A trio of giant 3D Wall decals has been listed over on Amazon by Hasbro. At the moment, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie are all available. Each one lights up from the center of the head, and apparently chills on a back-plated sticker for the 3D effect.

Well folks, the musical has come and gone in Singapore. And since I don't own my own time machine, or my own plane, and am not independantly wealthly (as figuring out the costs for hiring artists to do the art for my creator owned comic has made abuntedly clear) so no one from Equestria Daily was able to attend this event.
However, thanks to the MLP Phenomon being golbal, Bronies were able to attend the show! And most importantly, one of them jotted down a review of their experience.
Be sure to grab yourself a sandwich, this incredibly indepth review from @NormandyJayden is a long read. But for those us unable to attend, it gives us a little bit of a glimpse of what the show was like. Have a big Equestria Daily thanks from all of us for sharing man!
Below the break, you'll be able to find that, and a couple more images released by the MLPMusical_RR Twitter handle and instagram account. I swear, it's like the show is spamming us with these things.

Season 7 is still a complete mystery, meaning we have no idea what they are going to do for the 26 episodes they are about to drop on us in Spring. It could be season 1 or 6 style without any major story, or it could be a new thing with a heavily episodic journey leading up to the movie. Lots of possible with how much Hasbro is pushing next year!
So, lets brainstorm some interesting ideas on how the show might mold it's episodes next season. If you had control over season 7, what would you do? If it a full season arc based, what would you choose from the following:
- Character(s) to focus on
- Goal for the character(s) to attain
- Villain
- General idea

Music: 4everfreebrony - Hoping (feat. Giggly Maria & Relative1Pitch) [Acoustic Pop]
by ExplodingPonyToastA revamp of a song he wrote whilst in Argentina that some of you might remember, 'Hoping', this fully realised version is wonderfully produced and features some excellent vocals too. The emotion in the piano, the guitar and the vocals themselves help push the vision of the piece. This track is available as the title track on 4everfree's new album, Hoping, which I highly recommend checking out. It also features a bunch of his other recent hits such as 'Smell The Roses', 'Bound With Time', 'Carry On' and more! -
Can you take it? Can you handle this much pony? Every single episode of the show, all played at the exact same time. In a weird way, you can almost focus on a specific squeare and dig out the actual sound from the episode. That, or I've been involved in way too much pony and memorized them.
Get it below.
