Why would Luna want to live in the Everfree Forest....

Luna and Celestia did live there. "The last known location of the five Elements was in the Ancient Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. It is located in what is now the Everfree Forest." That was their home. Celestia willingly moved away and started a new life. Luna didn't. Luna got back from prison and found that her home was wrecked in her absence. Assuming that the forest itself was always there in some form and isn't entirely a symptom of Celestia's neglect, a forest is a natural deterrent against bothersome visitors (sort of like waves of military-trained Unicorns, but less hostile). Perfect for a pony like Luna who sleeps while the world is active.

If the forest is overgrown (ever-free) and not the true appearance of the Royal Garden, Luna can trim it to her liking (which might be different from it's original appearance, now that Luna has it all to herself, more ghosts and spiders).

And a cool ruined castle with some personality and character just seems to fit a pony like Luna better, who is herself somewhat damaged and has a cape made out of vampire bats.

Also, if Luna moves back in right next door to Ponyville instead of hiding in Celestia's shadow in Canterlot, the chances of her appearing in more episodes increases drastically.

That assumes that Canterlot hasn't been around since Luna's banishment. For all we know she's had a room there since her Banishment. And Celestia and Luna hace hot chocolate during the winter.

Canterlot (the city) may have existed before Celestia moved there, or it could easily have sprung up around her. We've seen cities rise and fall in the history of this show. But yes, it assumes that there was only one Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters (the one that was called that), and that when Celestia abandoned the home she shared with Luna after a deeply personal fight with her, she didn't simply move into the other home she shared with Luna. That would suck all the reason out of her moving.

My older brother got his own place, and I've hung out there with him plenty of times, and even house-sat for him when he went on vacation, but that's his house, not mine, and I'm not going to try and move in with him, no matter how nice his guest bedroom is, not if I can help it. I have to find my own way through life. I'm sure that's true of everyone, including ponies.

Agreed.

[Songbird]

The idea of tattooed Celestia is interesting.

Pretty cool...

I'd be a little behind her keeping an eye out and collecting the ponies that manage to fall of the shoes. mine!

Egophiliac bringing the daww for Luna fans.

But then they wouldn't have been talking about being in the Sisterhooves Social.

Technically....

A rather interesting story. Ashleigh Ball knows about the PONY.MOV series, and it seems that she actually likes it.

I just played the My little Investigations demo, a fan game that is quite inspired by the Phoenix Wright series. Well, it seems to play like Ace Attorney Investigations, but I personally never got around to playing it. Was released rather resent.

It's not bad, but it's missing some of the charm that the source of inspiration has. Phoenix Wright has such lively characters as apposed to the nearly static ponies seen here. And while I can't speak as comparison for the Investigations aspect of actually walking around, I found that part was rather dull as I found the rooms nearly blank. There was some gags there, but all the space there versus what can be accessed seemed bleak.

Voice acting is here too. While Rarity's wasn't too bad, Applebloom needs to get a new microphone, maybe a new voice actor as well... but I think it's all moot in the favor of playing without the voice acting. Phoenix Write games didn't have them besides the 'Objections!' (Of which there should be in the game) and the voices in my head do a great job on replicating.

Besides some oft mishaps on when the text doesn't match well with the flow of the voice, and maybe the dialog could be a little fine tuned (Really? You gonna measure a horse in feet and inches?) I think it's a solid demo and hope the final product holds up well.

[Hasardeur]

w-why would they have voice-acting in a Phoenix Wright-inspired game?

[Theonik]

Agreed.

Think of how many poor children were deprived of those pony Toys in Happy Meals!

Alright which one of you jokers hijacked University of Washington's Progress-UW ticket with a giant picture of Twilight Sparkle and blasted remixes of Pinky Pie's songs at their booth? Probably the same people who drew giant chalk ponies on the ground some time ago I bet.

Here's something interesting: New Hasbro blind bag figures?

So... I'm surfing eBay on the "newly listed" filter... and I am seeing pictures of all these blind bag characters, the seller (junjie1007) is describing them as a Hasbro product and they are shipping from China. Does anyone know about these, are they actually real?? I am curious if this has been mentioned before or if it is on Taobao at all. You can see them on eBay by typing: " Hasbro my little pony friendship is magic blind bag figure 81" (This is Granny Smith) EDIT: Here are the pictures the seller has posted ^-^

Here's something interesting: New Hasbro blind bag figures?

Those are most certainly fan made customs.

[judhudson]

That's my thought as well. I mean, each figure would have to be individually tooled...unlike the current Blind Bags where there are a few variations in designs and then they repaint them to get them to look like other ponies.

Wishful thinking though, I would love to see some new figures...especially in the states...we're still on..what, Wave 3? Where's Big Mac, Lyra, etc? :(

I wonder what SDCC will hold for announcements though (other than what we already know from the New York Toy Fair).

Hey guys, it's Topshot's birthday today!

He's always seemed like such a genuine guy, so if you have a Tumblr account go and like his birthday post and pardon the hero worship!

pretty great Gilda figurine though

Turns out the above pony minifigs are legit!

alright, totally getting that Gilda now

Some people have way too much free time.

Whoa. Those are legit. So much better than the normal merch. How much are they?

[brian577]

Whoa. Those are legit. So much better than the normal merch. How much are they?

Won't find out till this fall.

[LuffyZoro]

I really like that Gilda, I'll probably be getting it.

[Orcastar]

They should update the entire blindbag line while they're at it. That Wonderbolt seems more show accurate than Twilight, AJ and Dash. And what's the big idea with that white Wonderbolt pegasus (Surprise?) anyway when they could have gone for Spitfire?

[judhudson]

We're getting a Rule 63 Big Mac - looks kinda feminine and looks like he has eyelashes?

[Songbird]

Those are actually real?? Huh. In that case I'll have Gilda and all the Wonderbolts.

[blamite]

Woah, decent stuff that is also official? Neat. These are blind-bag size deals I guess, based on the Twilight/AJ/RD? How big are those?

And... Why do I kinda want to buy these? >.>

From Daniel Ingram's fb:

I just found out that "Find a Pet" and "Becoming Popular" were both nominated for Daytime Emmy Awards!!! Credit for their help producing the songs goes to Steffan Andrews and David Corman, and a huge thanks to Hasbro/Hub/DHX Media for their support in making it happen!

[McNum]

I kind of want the Big Macintosh.

Also, anyone else notice that they're themed horizontally in the picture?

Apple Family
Rainbow Dash and friends
Twilight, her bother, and sister-in-law

Wonder if that means anything, or if it's just going to be blind bags again? Could be interesting to see sets of three figures.

[CHEEZMO™]

Is it me, or does Daniel Ingram seem like a genuinely nice and pleasant fellow?

It's going to be 'Collection Sets'. More info:

The My Little Pony Miniature Collection proves that magic come sin all sizes! Featuring 3 favorite characters from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic in each pack, fans can collect the Apple Family, Pony Wedding and Coudsdale sets starting this fall.

My best guest is it'll be sold like this:

I assumed it was spitfire with very pale hair, but I could be wrong.

[McNum]

Aww, and here I was feeling all clever and stuff... It's interesting to see toys that are clearly based on show characters, though. These packs along with white Celestia, DJ PON-3, Nightmare Moon and Zecora show a promising direction.

And yes, white Celestia probably only exists because there's now pink Cadence to replace her. Still, it's pretty nice.

[Songbird]

The idea of Surprise as a Wonderbolt amuses me greatly.

Well, it would certainly be... surprising.
