View Full Version : My Little Pony

In 2010, The Hub network debuted an animated series based on a Hasbro toyline that was intelligent, well-written and humorous - a visual feast with great characterisation. Obviously I'm not talking about Transformers: Prime - that's almost unwatchable. I mean My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

Friendship Is Magic is the story of Twilight Sparkle (familiarly voiced by Tara Strong [Sari Sumdac]), a bookworm completely devoted to her studies who's sent from Equestria to Ponyville by her mentor to take a break and make some friends. Reluctantly, she does as Princess Celestia tells her and meets some strange ponies - Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity (played by Tabitha St. Germain - Alexis from Armada and Energon). Meanwhile, Celestia's sister, Nightmare Moon, "The Mare In The Moon" has been imprisoned for a thousand years, but she has escaped and plans to bring about "nighttime eternal". Friendship Is Magic is the spiritual sister to Transformers: Animated - a Hasbro-based cartoon show created by someone who grew up on and still loves the toyline from the eighties. And it shows. See here for an example of Lauren Faust's G1 devotion in her creation of the main characters:

So this thread is for discussion of anything My Little Pony, why Friendship Is Magic is awesome and - if you like - why Hasbro should have come up with something equally awesome rather than the lacklustre Transformers: Prime.

Saw the new line of figures at David Jones on Sunday as well, which can be identified by the new whiter logo.

Yes, they have just seen a release here. Reason being that most of the 2008 "Ponyville" line has been filling shelves for the longest part now.

Is it definitely the G4 ponies they don't like and not the G3.5s? Because the G3.5 ponies are creepy looking (kind of like long-legged turtles without shells that sometimes stand on their hind legs.) But in my opinion, the G4s are cute (and even more so because of their characterisation. They're the ones in Griffin's pic in the post above this one.)

I found out that my wife is a MLP fan and she loves the new show, it's kind of worked out as now I can buy her toys at the same time I do, and they tend to be cheaper too ;)

my daughter loves the new mlp:fim
im actually partial to the show as well as it has decent writing for a children's show and the new designs are really nice and refreshing in a way.

Actually they dont like G3.5 or G4. They like the style from around 2005 ish? They had magnets in the feet for some reason and she kept them on the fridge :/

My Daughter has quite the collection. But says she wont play with them cause she wants to keep them nice :rolleyes: She is more interested in her Voyager Animated Bulkhead :D

You're right, VERT - they're all My Little Pony names except Megatron (and yes several are also Transformer or G.I. Joe names [and the ones that aren't should be :D.])

Oh gawd, I didn't watch this but I reckon I might be able to relate :o

Been downloading eps of season 7 for my daughter and you know - it aint a bad cartoon. Personally I love Rarity - I find her funny as hell darling :D

I looked up all the TF/MLP IDW comic covers and those comics go for $50 a piece now! :eek: So I'm downloading the comic cover pictures, going to print them out and frame them to decorate my daughters wall in her new room. Bet my wife wont be thrilled :p

I haven't decided yet to give it to my daughter or to keep it. On the one hand she would like it. But on the other she already has dozens of ponies and no real attachment to this character, whereas because he was played by Weird Al and comes with a rubber chicken cannon I think it's awesome! :D

For MLP fans, they have advent calanders and stockings of them in Big W.

Only thing is the stocking has the exact same picture of Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie that last years did, so my daughter might get a Disney Princesses one instead.

Guessing I'm still probably talking to myself but in case anyone else checks this thread there are going to be a few different MLP toys on sale at the Big W toy sale next week. The interactive Twilight Sparkle just looks creepy - like a Frankenstiens Monster as if she's been stitched together from parts of other Twilight Sparkles! :eek::p

YES

YES!

YES YES YES!

FRICK-IN YES!!!!

It's finally happening! In what is undoubtedly the best news for the My Little Pony franchise since somebody said 'hey, lets make a purple-haired white pony named Rarity who is sexy as hell!', Transformers and My Little Pony are finally getting their own comic crossover!



SAN DIEGO, CA (February 6, 2020) – When the Mane Six gallop alongside Autobots in battle, the forces of villainy stand no chance! IDW Publishing (OTCQX: IDWM), under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), welcomes comic fans of all ages to enjoy the wildest crossover of Hasbro creations ever: MY LITTLE PONY / TRANSFORMERS, a four-issue miniseries shipping weekly in May!

In MY LITTLE PONY / TRANSFORMERS, the scheming Queen Chrysalis casts a spell in search of changeling allies, but accidentally interferes with a distant Cybertronian Spacebridge… and brings the Autobots and Decepticons to Equestria! As the dust settles, it’s up to Twilight Sparkle, Optimus Prime, and others to overcome the menace of malevolent magic and machinery!

MY LITTLE PONY / TRANSFORMERS assembles an all-star team of comic creators for this mind-blowing series: writers James Asmus, Ian Flynn, and Sam Maggs, and artists Casey W. Coller, Jack Lawrence, Sara Pitre-Durocher, Priscilla Tramontano, and Tony Fleecs (who also provides cover artwork for the entirety of the series).

“The writing I've gotten to do individually for MY LITTLE PONY and TRANSFORMERS have already proven to be some of the most fun I've had in my career, so it's pure joy to play them off each other,” says Asmus. “We're making a wild mash-up unlike anything else in your comic collection. You basically owe it to yourself and your future happiness to get a copy!”

“It's been a delightful challenge finding common threads between the ponies and bots. It’s certainly a fun and unique opportunity,” says Flynn. “I hope fans of both franchises can come together and enjoy this.”

“MY LITTLE PONY and TRANSFORMERS are two of my all-time favorite universes. Having written for them both previously, the idea of bringing the citizens of Equestria and Cybertron together is incredibly exciting,” says Maggs.

“Teaming TRANSFORMERS and MY LITTLE PONY has been a dream we’ve had for a long time,” says IDW Editor-In-Chief John Barber. “We’re all really excited to see this mashup of characters by a mashup of creators who are honoring the legacy of both universes... and doing it in the most bonkers, fun way imaginable!”

Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go have my Rarity toy square off against my Slipstream :D

Excerpt from Blog: What a wonderful time to be a toy collector eh? Figures we only used to dream of in our geekiest fantasies are being trotted out right left and center! A lot of that can be put down to people who loved things in their youth during the 80’s now being (supposedly) grown-ups with disposable income on their hands.

Well My Little Pony is happy to jump on that cash-in bandwagon with a new line of Crossover collectible figures. These range from Dungeons and Dragons to even Power Rangers. But today we are going to look at by far the two best of the crossover figures, because they cross over with two of the best franchises in history – Ghostbusters and Transformers.

When I turned on the TV this morning (after a sleep in), I noticed that channel 9go had an 8 hour marathon of My Little Pony, with about 12 episodes and a movie at the end.
It seemed a bit weird, having a massive block on like that, unless today was some sort of anniversary... but even still, channel 9 isn't the sort of network that cares about things like that for kids cartoons. The ABC or SBS is where you'd normally find a big random block of the one tv show like that.
(even though I have just about every Hasbro cartoon on DVD or recorded, I'd still love to see a big marathon block of TFs episodes on TV)
