The history continues! February 7th is around when Lauren Faust started talking to people on her Deviant Art page, revealing everything from the origins of our little horses to their reproductive ability for better or worse. It was the wild west!
We also had chinese companies picking up the slack where Hasbro wasn't delivering, via plushies of various background characters.
Anyway, go get everything that happened on February 7th from 2011-2018 below!
2011
Lauren Faust started talking to the fandom on Deviant Art, sparking all sorts of fanfics and discussion based on what she revealed involving ponies. She was also flooded by idiots, but that tends to happen on the internet.
2012
Facebook pony creator became a thing! It's long gone now, but we had some pretty crazy monstrosities for a while.
2013
The brony Documentary shut down its release of the bonus footage due to piracy of the original.
2014
A Special edition chrome derpy was released by Welovefine. I've sold a few of my old figures on ebay cause EQD 2023 isn't exactly lucrative. I can only imagine what that one goes for.
2015
The era of the knockoff pony plushies begins. A company called Onlyfactory in China started dropping relatively high quality plushies for 20 bucks. They were all over ebay for years, and can still be found there from resellers. If Hasbro doesn't deliver, I guess china does!
2016
Fan animation fools the fandom!
2017
We get the theme day calendar that has been used ever since then, and the announcement that season 7 would be returning in April!
2018
Nazegoreng releases this amazing Skystar plushie. They definitely were one of the best in the fandom at this stuff.
