Yep, though I'll still be around in the chat.
Too bad, as I've been going to the chat less and less. I think I'll have to slow down with the posting next thread too.

Damn it stay dead! STAY DEAD! (Orders a shit ton of those brushable... for customizations, and me) I also like the Ty Pony Beanie Babies, but will have to see them in person. Anything is better than some of the prices the plushie guys do (and I appreciate their efforts, but some of their prices? No way in hell!).From the toy fair:
Toys, my one weakness of this show... Also, make more Stallions! (Big Mac is an obvious choice people!!!)
Enjoy the show, ignore the fandom (the Gaf one is pretty good I must say). Regular Show is ok when paired with Adventure Time, but ONLY if you are a fan of things like that! I'm honest enough to say it isnt for anyone.

While we're talking about that article, has anyone heard the figure they list for the proportion of bronies/target audience before? According to the post:
Could that be right? I'd never have thought bronies would comprise anywhere near 40%.

I thought that was a little high too, though if true it would certainly explain all the merch coming out recently. It wouldn't explain the recent anti-fan practices though.
Or maybe the decisions on those anti-fan practices were actually made a while ago. You know how slow and inefficient the legal people can be.

I'm not really that mad about the new show. The chances of it being good are pretty slim, but there's still a possibility, and if it's not any good no one's going to strap us to a chair with our eyes peeled open and force us to watch it...

So apparently EQD is going out of their way to delete any comments about that possible Equestria Girls thing.
They keep talking about doing forums but who would want to be on a forum that censors comments all the time.

So quick to insult the best Princess ever.
I didn't see any insult leveled at Luna.
Oh, and:
Seeing all these plushes posts make me think about finally getting one (now that I have an apartment and all). Can anyone recommend any source? Official or non-official are okay, as long as they look decent and cost less than $60.

Adventure Time!
What kind of drama? Just curious. Oddly enough, I've avoided the series entirely, but just started getting into it recently.
As for artwork, I really like Fuutchamaru's as her's blend both shows' artstyles together incredibly well.
I don't think such plushies exist. You're better off waiting for some of those high quality plushies from Nici or the recently unveiled ones by Aurora and TY
Ugh, their follow up editorial after the fighting is magic fiasco was terrible. Seriously, the whole thing could be resumed as: "If your project is good enough, poor Hasbro will have to take it down, and there is nothing you can do about it. Deal with it".

ah yes, the lesbianism controversy, i remember that.
and i remember Tumblr going bat shit insane with nerd rage over that 'Little People' episode.
you should watch the show cuz its fucking amazing.
the whole point of the 'Little People' ep was that people get TOO wrapped up in shows, and that they act entitled and demand what should be done in a cartoon their just fans of. i felt like it was the crews way of telling people to back off and that they were gonna make the show how they wanted.
and the lesbian thing was just PC Murrica being retarded, they get offended over everything. what if PB and Marceline did love each other? the show would prolly get shut down.

but the problem is i disagree with all of that
a tv show i watch is my life, and it needs to be just right to my wants and how i imagine it in my head or it is shit and i will loudly tell people about how it is
see also, my little pony
Is that what passes for firing-offense lesbianism these days? A dark character upset with her goody-two-shoes counterpart and singing about her feelings, and then singing "so why do I want to..." before getting flustered and stopping the song?
Close up the wall with our writers fired.
Everyone go watch Adventure Time, it's amazing.
Wait, what? People actually got mad about that episode? I seriously cannot even fathom that, it was a great episode poking fun at shipping and stuff. I cannot understand anyone but the most ridiculously oversensitive people in the world geting angry about that. Episode was amazing.
Actually, it wasn't the episode, but this recap video that caused problems. Which is more than a little more understandable.
Oh yeah, that's way different. The song, I felt was totally appropriate. That vid is sort of a "maybe", depending on context.
I saw the first season on DVD and thought it was "good" at best. Does it get better?
YES thats what it was, i couldnt remember.
AT and Regular Show are both great.
Well, the first thing I thought when I read your post was: Aww, that's cute... but unrealistic. Unfortunetely, making a plush takes time and the materials aren't for free
The materials for the "Rarity V. 2.0" that I've made for my niece as gift, cost me about 30 dollars (it was a little more, but never mind). Let's imagine that it took me 8 hours to make it and I would charge 5$ (my actual job pays me much more than this) for each working hour. The pony cost would be 70$ by now. Luckly, she lives nearby so I didn't have to pay for shipping, but if she lived in the US, for instance, it would cost more 12$ or 15$. Let's say 12$, so a 12" plush would cost at least 82$. Now, go to ebay or etsy or any online seller and check how much do they charge for a 6" plush and if you find any for 60$ or 70$, let me know, please.
those new accurate hair ones in the purses are coming out, prolly wont be more than 20 dollars.
i got the ribbon hair Dashie for 10.

Expectations of cheap prices are the result of decades of exposure to mass-produced goods and cheap chinese labour. True custom-made goods are expensive, and there's no going around that.Well, the first thing I thought when I read your post was: Aww, that's cute... but unrealistic.

most of the custom pones i have seen are AMAZING and adorable. def worth the money.
but if you want cheap, the new ones coming out are decent looking.

These look okay.
These look okay.
Those have what I would call "g3 shaped" face though...

Welp, that explains the prices. I wanted to give one to my sister (a big fan of the show), but those prices were way above what I was expecting.

Here is a pretty decent Derpy plushie I found on eBay for $60:http://www.ebay.com/itm/My-Little-P...V_Movie_Character_Toys_US&hash=item2577ea3355 Doesn't look like she has her 'derp' eyes though. Still, kinda tempted to pick one up.
The first season is by far the weakest. Every season afterwards just gets better and better.
A lot of people (especially on Ponychan) like seaon 1 the most. For me it's 2 >> 1 > 3. I like the episodes in 3 more than 1 but 13 episodes is just too short.
I think they're talking Adventure Time there, not Friendship is Magic. I've only watched a couple of AT episodes, found it a little too weird for me.

Concerning the recent "confirmation" of a certain rumor. I have to admit that /mlp/ is quite something, not only it is the first place to receive the leaks but some interesting stuff get posted from time to time. Naturally, to get the best of it you have to deal with the trolls, radioactive levels of cynicism, tons of r34 and the usual stuff that makes you lose hope for humanity... such a great place.
