With Toy Fair behind us and loads of stuff to look forward to the year in both season, specials, and merchandise, we are going to go ahead and recap it like we always do. That was a lot of posts all at once, so a good amount of it got buried.
Below the break, check out everything that happened, along with all the new major merchandise lines revealed at the show. Here's to another awesome year of pony!
45 Minute My Little Pony Holiday Special
We have a full holiday special episode this year! Not a whole lot is known about it, but we do know we will see some Discord and a rough synopsis based on the toys. More information can be found at Calpains post deciphering everything.
We do have a general synopsis:
My Little Pony: The Best Gift Ever! Holiday Special. The Mane 6 decided to do Hearthswarming Helper this year. Think secret santa. Pressure to get the perfect gift leads to chaos! And thus Discord will be in it in an outfit from Christmas Vacation.
Season 8 Information
Season 8 had a full teaser trailer released for the event which you can watch over here. Generally, they talked about the Cutie Mark School in season 8, and introduced Smolder and Yona Yak, two of the new girls from their side cast of friends.
Season 9 was also announced, though we all knew about that already obviously.
Cutie Mark Crew
The Cutie Mark Crew was one of the biggest pushes Hasbro had this year, with several displays showing off what they had available this year.
Illustrious Q took a ton of pictures of the place. Head on over here to check it out!
