Well that's.... unprofessional.

She has every right to be upset, just like the fans.
I only hope that she channels her anger into motivated drawing for the new fighting game, so once it's reannounced we can make a fandom for it and leave MLP behind us.

Woona is best alicorn!
Also, those figures were just prototypes, so I'd hold off raging for now.
What about this alicorn?
You really think changelings have a true form? If anything their true form is probably so hideous it would drive sane ponies mad.

Perhaps, but it's justified anger, these dolls feel vapid and uncharacterized, and the whole flipping point of the mane 6 was strong characterization.
However, I think the fact that these are just the prototype designs means someone's at least paying attention. Either that or furries don't market well.

So Faust is on 4chan's /mlp/ board and confirmed some Mane6 news will be coming soon. Also that no pony is her favorite since it'd be like a mom choosing her favorite child.

But every parent has a favorite.
I'd honestly think it was Rainbow Dash since she's based on her favorite pony from the old show.

True, but she won't admit it.
The cartoon has strong characterization. The official toys don't. The official toys are full of sameface and brushable hair.
Not unless we start bitching about the character designs themselves, and then we have to ask things like... does it really matter that Lauren Faust's favorite pink-and-blue tomboy got swapped into the body of a blue-and-rainbow fashionista (Rainbow Dash always dresses in style), and if that was accidental greatness, how is EG's blu-and-rainbow tomboy supposed to be an abomination?
Woah, looks like she actually did it. I'm a little bit surprised, some people have been suspecting that she has been lurking the place, but actually posting there...

Currently, the thread is a sticky for those interested. Just keep in mind that it is 4chan after all. (It could be a professional troll after all)

She should have gone to The Round Stable, instead.
Probably, but she is damn right about something, the best (and worst) discussions I have seen belong to that site.
The shit she must see on the regular.

Lauren Faust needs to lurk PonyGAF. It is a good idea. I've since been spoiled on Twilight becoming an alicorn, and I'm dreading the execution of the idea (and the idea itself =P), but I see Faust had always planned for it. Oh well, I'll see how I respond later.
What does sound appealing to me is an irresponsible Rainbow Dash. Sounds like a little extra spice I can appreciate.

Also, I stopped by the local Hot Topic today. No swim trunks, but a surprising amount of Pony merch. Quite a few shirts including:
-Dr.Whooves / Derpy
-Season 2 cast
-Lyra "Believe" shirt
-Spike "mustache"
-Pinkie Pie "Come at me Brony"
All of the medium sized shirts were taken, leaving...every other size. Life is cruel. They also had keychains, a small Rainbow Dash backpack, small plushes of the Mane6 (of varying quality, I thought the Applejack one had a bad mane), socks, a lot of things, there was a moderately sized rack dedicated to pony merch, and an in-store promotion that offered...something once you bought $25 of pony. Generous offering on the whole.

IIRC, she lurked on 4chan's /co before most bronies were bronies.
Bronyism got it's start on /co, and then she heard about it, so she checked it out there. When people asked her what she thought of the rest of 4chan, her response was basically "I'm a grown woman. I'm aware of what goes on there."
Honestly though, I'm surprised she stuck with 4chan, since 4chan banned ponies, triggering the creation of ponychan. I don't get why anyone had any desire to return to 4chan after the ban was lifted, and by "the ban was lifted" I mean "/mlp was created", because ponies are still banned in /co.
Turns out EQG is Ponygaf's fault

It's a nice thought (or a horrifying one, depending on your perspective), but I find it pretty difficult to believe that the suits at Hasbro okayed the Equestria Girls film on the basis of some pretty fan-art (as opposed to lots of money-centric business-ey stuff).
Not surprised at all. That was the first thing I assumed as soon as I heard about the show.
That Equestria Girls was based on the creative team's desire to make their own "human ponies" after seeing the various human ponies created by the fandom, rather than a Hasbro directive. Not that Ponygaf (especially Eatchildren) specifically was to blame. That would be surprising.
There are two ways to work with a property that comes from the top, like Hasbro. One is to take Hasbro's crap and spin it into gold. The other is to convince Hasbro that your own ideas are gold.
You and I still wonder why people returned to 4chan with so many communities around. My only theory is that the other communities didn't offer the freedom, size and exposure that usually comes with everything 4chan.
And of course:
Oh well, at the end of the day I think she was just venting her frustrations. And who can blame her after seeing such vapid representation of her characters.
Fixed.
Oh so if that is the case
Is that how they work.
Quick every draw bunches of pictures of a transformers movie not directed by Michael bay.
We've got no shortage of that. We've even already got an entire movie created in that mold. Hasbro isn't interested. We've even got a CG cartoon made by renowned hacks Orci and Kurtzman, and licensed videogames, but those are somehow all turning out great, and not terrible enough for Hasbro.
Hasbro wants Michael Bay-style money generators, like Battleship the Movie.
Edit:

Kurtzman - I got it! Megatron barfs.
Orci - Megatron barfs?
Kurtzman - Yeah, it'd be awesome.
Orci - Save that for the movies, okay? This actually has to be good.

Holy crap guys, the Hub really is trying to turn people gay.

I'm tempted to make a thread in OT about it.
I'm thinking "From the Creators of My Little Pony, comes a crossdressing superhero"
