Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Niya, but Fluttershy plushie is a no-go:

NICI has released a bit more information over on Brandora about their upcoming Plushie lineup. Some of the more interesting bits of information include the promise of 20 pieces total, though this will only span three ponies (Twilight, Dash, and Pinkie). The extras will be varying sizes of the main models and accessories to go with them, including pillows, wallets, and backpacks.

Loved the Episode and I find it hilarious that Rarity is Generosity yet she gave spike the smallest gem. Generous my ass. And there was, what looked like a nod to that poptart cat in the CMC clubhouse.

DANG IT! <.< But oh well, once they see the plushies sell like crazy they will probably bring out the rest of them Mane6 ^^

**Corrderio** · 2013-01-28 09:15

Hopefully. At least Twilight made it, which is good enough for me.

**Niya** · 2013-01-28 12:49

Hasbro somehow made it: MLP is coming to japan!

**Corrderio** · 2013-01-28 14:23

And now for something completely random:

**Niya** · 2013-01-28 15:54

Awesome PMV is awesome...

**Corrderio** · 2013-01-29 13:52

And it's now confirmed:

Spoiler: show

I'll be in my bunker hiding from the inevitable sh*tstorm that's approaching.

Seen a lot of bitching about it on other sites, but I am fine with it though could lead to some interesting episodes for next season. On the EW article they said they weren't really changing her character or personality just her physical appearance, but I hope she doesn't full time that dress uh.

**Corrderio** · 2013-01-29 16:18

Same. Pink really isn't Twilight's color. Should have been that shade of blue from her gala dress if you ask me.

'My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic' exclusive: Twilight's becoming a princess!

It’s reigning Twilight Sparkle!
EW can exclusively reveal that the third season finale of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic will see everyone’s favorite unicorn being named a princess — and gaining a new pair of regal wings in the process. “She was set up from the very beginning to be on an important journey,” explains MLP head writer Meghan McCarthy. “It’s really about her earning this new status by combining all the things that we’ve seen her learn over the course of the series.”

But don’t worry, Pony fans — though Twilight will undergo a physical transformation, her personality will remain the same. “What we didn’t want to do was change who she is as a character, because she’s certainly someone that everyone’s proud to know and love,” McCarthy says. “I don’t think becoming a princess really changes her; I think it’s going to introduce some new challenges for her.”

Those challenges will include living up to that lofty new title. In MLP‘s Equestria, “princess” is a designation that’s earned, not freely given — and though princesses have specific leadership roles in pony society, being one really means “being a good pony who shares the gifts that they have been given with others,” according to McCarthy. “We’re building a very unique mythology around being a princess,” she continues. “Every little girl wants to be a princess, and not everybody can get to be a princess — but you can live up to the ideals that should come along with being a princess.”

**Corrderio** · 2013-01-29 18:32

That's making me wonder if Twilight will be an alicorn for good or not.

**Corrderio** · 2013-01-29 22:30

At last! Best pony gets her Fighting is Magic preview:

Remember Pony Rock Anthem? If not feel free to refresh your mind:

Spoiler: show

Anyway, ShadyVox posted a demo of the music video he's working on:

Animation is being done by JanAnimations (Person(s) that does Ask the CMC Tumblr and the Picture Perfect PMV)

**Silenka** · 2013-01-30 16:09

Looks like the real thing o_O

**Corrderio** · 2013-01-30 16:22

Well, time for some bad news...

A press release revealed some more information about the finale. And unfortunately, looks like Alicorn Twilight is here to stay:

Twilight Sparkle accidentally casts a spell that switches the Cutie Marks and destinies of all her friends, and the only way she can reverse the spell is by writing her own magic. Little does she know that by achieving this great accomplishment, she will fulfill her destiny and emerge a princess.

And assuming this bit of information is true, Derpy is dead:

Spoiler: show

The source is from a Reddit post dated back to November. There is no real way to prove it was made by someone from the studio, but at the same time they made mention of the Alicorn Twilight before sh*t hit the fan, and everything else said has been obvious or becoming true.

**Sol-Blackguy** · 2013-01-30 21:51

Yeah, this isn't going to end well if Hasbro is making decisions. It's like Transformers G1 all over again.

**Apelila** · 2013-01-31 00:00

*sighs*

I'll take 2 and a half seasons of good, with a possible season with good interwoven over never having good at all.

**Esby** · 2013-01-31 05:04

This is bad. Even if alicorn Twilight ends up being decent in the next season, it's hard to deny that most fans who arent kids will just see this as the point where the show jumped the shark, turning their brony adoration into massive internet bitching.
Hard to blame them, when you realized that Twilight is now an immortal demi-goddess while her friends are not.
Removal of Derpy doesnt help either.

Another disturbing thing is this episode estabilishing a clear racial superiority (only unicorns can become alicorns, who are immortal as Celestia and Luna clearly prove, by writing their own magic) in a show aimed to little girls.
All the attempts at making the 3 races look equal (earth ponies being physically the strongest plus the "connection to nature" thing, pegasi having wings and unicorns having magic) have been thrown out of the window.
This has far more unfortunate implications than Derpy's eyes.

I'm afraid the popularity of the show (not necessarily the quality) is going to decline from here.
Whether thats a good or bad thing is up to debate, I guess.

What worries me the most is that Lauren Faust herself has expressed her disappointment about alicorn Twilight in her Twitter (she had to delete the post for obvious reasons).

In other news, part 4 of Turnabout Storm has been released.
Definetely the weakest part so far, IMO.
