Glad to be wrong on those figures. Probably wont get the Canterlot one, have the Twilight blind bag, and don't care about SA or Cadance. Might grab the Apple family one, but will certainly get that other one for that Gilda figure, it looks great.

I just found a blast from the past, my very first drawing of a pony, dating back to before I was even interested in ponies!

It's Bakpony! :D

I feel the Cloudsdale set is going to sell out fast thanks to Gilda. Moreso if they made that Thunderbolt Spitfire instead of... whomever that is.

It can't be because it's a 2012 song. Maybe next year.

Right... right, of course. Two S2 songs being nominated at the same time made me think, well... wait, then where the fuck is At The Gala? I STILL MAD.

I'm on a music trip. Goddamn the songs for this show are so absurdly good.

/edit I just realised that France exists in this universe because Fluttershy wants "French Haute Cauteur" or whatever

/Find a Pet is a realllllly good musical song. Like, really, really good. It might even be a little better than Flimflam Brothers. Though Smile, Smile, Smile is pretty high-tier.

So does The Netherlands, as Hoity Toity wants Dutch Apple Pie.

Hippogriffs seem to be based of european countries, Gilda seems from the UK (the st5yle but sadly not the voice) and theres the french one in Mmmistery in the Friendship Express. In any case france mannerisms and culture are used a lot in cartoons becuase they are awesome for comedy.

And May the best pet win is really underrated, is a great song, and one of my favs with Flim Flam Brothers, This Day Aria and Smile.

Season 2 is on Netflix now.

For those wondering, The Last Roundup is the iTunes edit.
Remember when Hasbro said that edit was only going to be on iTunes? But then it aired on TV. That's the thing about damage control, it only works if you actually do what you claim is true.

kunonabi · 05:45 PM

My Little Pony has invaded ESPN. I was watching PTI yesterday and they have two pony figures on set. They have a Pinkie Pie standing on Mickey Mouse's head and I believe there is a Celestia on the table too.

Becoming Popular got nominated for an Emmy? Hell yeah! Ingram really deserves the recognition. If it wins I want some fanart of Rarity accepting the award.

Awwww..... At least its one reason why everyone should own a copy of the Friendship Express DVD.

So we are forced to watch the version with the better voice?

If only they cut out the fandom. Then we would all glance over a small part of a rather great episode and not care of a background character suddenly tossed into the spotlight creating a calamity.

Slamtastic · (05-10-2012, 06:53 PM)

The fandom is the best part of MLPFiM, with the show being a tool to keep said fandom alive, that's also pretty decent and better than watching a blank screen for 30 minutes.

Now what a minute, your not insinuating that the entire episode is ruined because a fan character who doesn't really matter AT ALL was altered? It's not like Derpy is the only reason this show is good or the episode for that matter.

I was mostly talking about the episode. As you can see from the start of the show, they were just doing whatever they wanted to make it enjoyable for them as well as creating a kids show in the first place. The only reason Derpy was there in that episode stands as a nod to the vocal fans.

And I don't know about that bit that the fandom is the best part of all this. It's interesting, I think.

Prade · (05-10-2012, 07:16 PM)

I have no problem with the show, it's the fans that are terrible.

I'm officially part of GAF now having said that.

It's bullshit censorship regardless of it being a nod to the fanbase or not. I haven't watched Aladdin in years for the same nonsense and I will not watch the butchered version of last roundup either. Thankfully we have the dvd and youtube so we still have easy access to it.

Bullshit censorship or not (and it is), it doesn't the make the entire episode unwatchable.

It just makes watching the edited version pointless as an adult male fan when the unedited one is out there, legally even.

They can't undo history.

So actually we agree that bringing up "It's the edited version" everytime the episode airs somewhere is pointless because fans can get the real thing.

blamite · (05-10-2012, 07:42 PM)

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Derpy or no Derpy, Last Roundup is still the best episode of the show (best non-2-parter at least). Yeah, Derpy was great, and yeah, the new voice is awful, but the quality of the episode as a whole is more or less maintained regardless of that one short scene.

Slamtastic · (05-10-2012, 07:59 PM)

It's a great episode.

Slamtastic · 08:37 PM

CHEEZMO™ · (05-10-2012, 08:37 PM)

lol

At least she didn't lobby the government to do something about it and instead acted like a responsible parent.

DrForester · (05-10-2012, 08:43 PM)

Only thing I wish they had kept was the Derpy name (Though I would have preferred Ditzy). New voice sounds better, and isn't being done by someone working under the impression that Derpy is male.

"HALT! Criminal scum! ...you know, if it wouldn't be too much trouble... eep!"

Fluttershy looks pretty cool as a royal guard, although her mane reminds me of Rainbow Dash's mane. Then again, if she were to set her mane like a brave pony would, she's copy Rainbow, I suppose.

What are you talking about, Fluttershy's hair has always been like that!

I just wish they had introduced Cadence and Shining Armour earlier. (Shining Armour's name is stupid, but then it fits with Twilight's compound name)

No.

Its because of people arguing about it every time its brought up.

Bullshit like this.

That episode has been nothing but problems since it aired and every time its brought up the thread is derailed.

Should be bannable if you talk about it.

WulfMagnusson · (05-11-2012, 04:05 AM)

Said it once and will say it again, new voice better then old voice, no confusion about her gender, though I didn't like the eye change or the removal of her name from the scene.

Only horrid thing to come from The Last Roundup, is people saying that Rainbow Dash abandoned Rarity and Applejack, like it's RD's problem that Rarity and Pinkie can't get back to the town that they just ran out of 5 minutes ago.

So bury the episode and never speak of it again, even the other 90% that isn't controversial? To me that's A LOT worse that anything Hasbro did.

At the very least they should have something like Deviantart where you can "tag" it mature content yourself.

Nobodyspatzy · (05-11-2012, 04:52 AM)

Honestly, in regards to th episode "The Last Roundup", I quite frankly don't wish to dwell on it. I however have a revised view on the episode as, very recently I shall add, had a new friend get into the show, and ask what the voice difference and eye editing was all about.

What I said was simply, "I didn't like the change, but I know why it had to be done. No worries, the original is still up online and on my DVD, so ehh, if I see the 'censored' version, I'll smile, and replace the eyes mentally. Quite frankly, them taking down the episode initially made me mad, but ehh, it's done now"

Anyway...banning? a bit harsh...I like Applejack hiding her ribbons in the show, and Pinkie going insane. The episode is fine, let it be =p
