Rainbledon: My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Thread

[Diaboland]

The other day I bought a cheap Hitch toy to repaint and the head articulation is so good on G5 ponies! You can move their heads up and down now, it's really cool

I have a Hitch toy along with the other mane 5 characters, but they all have brushable manes and tails.

TBH I much prefer the male ponies to have molded hair instead of brushable. They always give the boys mohawks and it always looks like a knockoff of the cartoon version of the character

The Shining Armor doll I have is like that.

Sad how inactive this thread is now

Well the show ended almost 3 years ago now. So it's not a surprise.

Perhaps we could need a new thread for G5?

Then again pony isn’t nearly as big a thing as it once was…

Well, let's at least try to send this thread to the boardinghouse. It is nearly 500 pages.

I mean it definitely proves that the Brony fandom peaked around 2014-15, which is odd since that show was only half way done, and yet I somehow haven't seen the 2017 movie in full.

I did catch A New Generation on netflix though and they are making some new series on Youtube and TV (two different ones) although they didn't retain the original cast but still are good. I think they did good job with casting Zipp again, though Izzy had a high bar to clear with Kimiko Glenn voicing her.

[Onocarcass]

I fell off a while ago, but I still like to occasionally check in on everyone who's still around.

Welcome back old friend! I suppose you never left but same.

What are the official races of ponies? I do know that crystal ponies aren't a race of ponies as there isn't enough about them to make them different from the races that they are crystal versions of, otherwise, Pokémon fans would be forced to accept the crystal pokémon as the first new pokémon interduce after the first mystery egg hatched instead of as the first regional variants.

Earth Ponies, Pegasi, and Unicorns are the three "races" of ponies if you will. Though zebras and donkeys are a thing; closely related yet technically different equine species.

I suppose alicorns could be the fourth though usually most were born one of the three, except Flurry Heart, of course, the Eternal Empress of the Crystal Empire.

We never actually got the origins of Celestia and Luna; the wording was vague enough to imply they were born (As Alicorns) somewhere else. That was the intention of Lauren Faust and the Tie-In Novelist (albeit that was released before Season 6).

If we're counting show as the only canon though, its implied but not confirmed.

You know what would have made a good Tie-In board game? Ravensburger's Labyrinth.

The player pawns could be the four (adult) Alicorn princesses, and the objects to find could be the other main characters (the rest of the Mane 7, the CMC, Mane 7 Relatives, Student Six etc.)

I'm not sure how well known the Game is outside of the UK/Europe, and Hasbro has their own (more well-known) board games, so maybe that's why it never happened.

.... Is there a G5 thread on this site yet or not?

Thus far we’ve used this thread, and probably will continue to do so

Okay then.

New Topic: Will there ever be (official) LEGO My Little Pony Sets?

I know they've been proposed and rejected several times before, but nowadays it seems Hasbro and LEGO are more willing to work together (I think that's partially because Hasbro stopped making KRE-O several years ago). See the recent Optimus Prime Lego set or the Upcoming Dungeons and Dragons LEGO sets.

It seems plausible now, but I'm not certain. What LEGO MLP sets would like to see if they were made? Would they be based on G4 or G5?

[Frenequesta]

Perhaps we should rename this thread to reflect includion of G5?

That's a good idea, but should we just change the Friendship Is Magic part to G4 and G5 or change the Rainbledon part too?

Incidentally, Renegade Game studios are working on two all-new MLP (FIM/G4) games.

A new tabletop RPG, unrelated to Tails of Equestria. It's probably going to be aimed at older fans rather than kids (Tails' Demographic), but that's just my guess.

The other is a deckbuilding game, obviously separate from the old CCG.

I suppose either could have a G5-based expansion, or even multiple ones based on g5, allowing you to have crossovers between generations.

[Holy Marsh]

I have the deck building game. It is a fun co-op game.

[Eighth Eurasia]

I have the deck building game. It is a fun co-op game.

I might think about getting it. I already have Renegade's (Competitive) Power Rangers deckbuilding game (though I haven't tried it yet).

Then again, I usually play deckbuilders digitally (Star Realms, Hero Realms). Maybe if the MLP game gets a digital version and my electronic devices are compatible, I might try it.
But I'm not holding my breath.

Halloween Related MLP Post:
I see G5 decided to continue a tradition set by G3 and G4 by casting Athena Karkanis as Opaline.

Spoilers for Final Destination 2, Trick R Treat (2007), and the SAW series
Keegan Connor Tracy played played Kat Jennings in Final Destination 2 and later played Whimsey Weatherbe in the G3.5 movie Twinkle Wish Adventure.

Britt McKillip played Macy in Trick R Treat and later played Princess Cadence in Friendship is Magic (However, she was also Tra La La in G3 before she was in Trick R Treat).

Athena Karkanis portrayed FBI Agent Lindsey Perez and later portrayed Queen Opaline in G5.

Notably, all the horror movie characters they portrayed were killed (Kat Jennings got impaled by a Pipe when her airbag was activated, Macy was dismembered by Zombie kids she and her friends inadvertently summoned, Lindsey was stabbed by Hoffman in SAW VI).

Is it just me, or is it possible that casting directors for MLP are big Horror Movie Fans?
