CAH likes to do something neat for every PAX.
This particular time, they brought a printer to make any custom card on the spot.

Huh, the Rainbow Rocks soundtrack is being released on the 9th, a full three weeks before the movie comes out. I guess we'll know what happens in the movie from the last song.
Also, apparently a recent Teen Titans comic had an alicorn poster in the background, though ED didn't give an issue number or context. And I'm pretty sure that's an oddly colored Elsa pony at that.

Issue #2 of the new Teen Titans reshuffle. Its on the wall that Bunker and Garth share.

I'm sure that is supposed to be an Elsa pony, but in professional comics, the penciller, inker, and colorist are all different people, who might not even work in the same building.
The penciller (usually credited as the main artist) quickly sketched the pony, the inker revised the sketch and cleaned it up, and then the colorist realized that they had drawn an MLP pony (as opposed to general fantasy art), but didn't catch that it was also supposed to be Elsa.

That was a good read.
Agreed, nice article. Interesting to hear such a different perspective.

Comic issue #23 was very cute and a lot of fun. I thought it did a good job distinguishing the levels of intelligence of the pets and the ponies, with only Angel and Owloysius looking particularly smart, the former more so. I did think the use of
. It was a bit surprising that
. Still, it did a pretty good job, especially as a mostly dialogue-free comic. I don't know what the trophies in dialogue boxes were supposed to represent, though.
Zecora's potions in the end was cheating a bit on the premise, but whatever
we got another creature that sings to take control of ponies, though with a greater degree of control and a different motive than the Rainbow Rocks villains. It's a bit disappointing that we didn't get a creepy, sticky to touch kelpie, and this design is a bit too similar to that of the merponies shown previously, but whatever.
Japanese artists draw some of the cutest ponies too. Especially Pinkies.

That's some really good drawings...

On the subject of cute things, from ED another cute comic. First panel:
So I decided that after so many weeks without a new episode there, I would check to see what was going on with My Little Pony in Japan. It turns out it took less effort than I thought it would, after just Google searching "TV Tokyo schedule" and finding this on their listings. Turns out they're rerunning "Hurricane Fluttershy" now, so they should be approaching the end of their reruns; maybe season 3 will be starting in a few weeks.
The English translation that the site was put through by Google is interesting.
BTW, while I wasn't sure if she'd do a good job at the start, The Sasaki future does a great job as rariti. You'd think Hidemi Kato village would be amazing as Flutter is shy, and she's good, but she's surprisingly underwhelming in the role when you'd expect Japan to excel at it. Except in "Best Night Ever", where she's amazing. I covered the Japanese dub over at Toon Zone, if you guys want to know more.
In other news, World of Warcraft pony item, and the description makes it clear that it's a reference.
This custom pony set is really good.
And ED has also informed me that this is a tumblr.

Season 4 DVD set on December 2!
Surprisingly decent cover, even showing the key granters... which could be a pretty big spoiler for those watching the first time who start to see a pattern. I was going to say that Twilight's vector looked nice, but then I noticed the wonky face.
I wouldn't expect there to be any, honestly.
But, in the very, very, very low chances of us getting Blu-rays, I'd double dip. Well, triple dip, as I buy those DVDs with 5 episodes on them too.
I'm with you, with the exception of the NA part. This is 2014, and I'll be damned if I'll buy a brand new, digitally produced, fully HD television programme on a decades-old format in 720 x 576 anamorphic MPEG2.

I'm surprised. A bump in the afternoon, and it wasn't about the new Rainbow Rocks clip. I thought it was pretty boring, especially with all of the dead air.

I finished up another drawing. This time, it's Princess Cadance!
Considering she's the only pony with a confirmed kill on another pony in the show, I figured drawing her as a Paladin wouldn't be completely out of character. She's sweet and kind and friendly... if you respond in kind. Are you a foe, she will show you what the Power of Love can do when used in anger. She's nice, because she can afford to be.

Got some new monitors and entered the Master Master PC race.
Problem with Rainbow Falls is it tries to set up a situation where Rainbow Dash is faced with choosing between being loyal to her friends to winning, and to set this conflict up, they establish in the first scene that she chose to be loyal to her friends rather than win.

Cool wallpapers!
As for Rainbow Falls, I'd have said the biggest problem is that Dash still hasn't accepted that Spitfire (and her two friends, Crony and Clueless) are no good for her.
It isn't going to work, Dash. Move on.
These are always fun.

Also, ugh, it looks like we may be getting more Equestria Girls comics. Definitely not going to buy those. It's not from the annual, because the Dougworld part of that is not drawn by Tony Fleecs.

It is something I am not interested in reading and I do not believe it is capable of supporting interesting plots without either making lesser versions of stories that could be done in the pony world or Littlest Pet Shop (BTW, anyone know if that comic is any good? All I know is that it had a Linkara cameo). Plus, it is hard to shake the feeling that Equestria Girls takes resources away from the main series; in fact, we actually do have evidence of that with season 5, since Larson had to step in for a bit as editor while McCarthy was busy working on Rainbow Rocks (details starting from here). I feel no hatred toward Equestria Girls, but I am allowed to be annoyed that it exists, just like how one can be annoyed at Die Hard 5.
right. vote with your wallets. Do not support EG. (um, if you don't want to)
(unless it's a call to arms.)
we know the way the wind blows, but it doesn't have to blow in here.

Oh, we got news about it already. There's going to be a 48-page Equestria Girls holiday special in December. I suppose a snow day is something that couldn't really be done with the same meaning in pony land. Still, doesn't this mean that we're essentially getting two annual specials a year now? Kind of impressive, though if this was going to be a full on Equestria Girls story, it's kind of lame that there also had to be an Equestria Girls story in the Power Ponies issue.

Yikes.

ED reviews those Super Fan Art figurines. As expected, they are super brittle, but are otherwise quite nice. It's still really neat that Hasbro teamed up with fan artists like this.
Man at Arms made a Rainbow Dash themed weapon, a horse face plate with a unicorn horn. Note that it's not actually Rainbow Dash themed, but they tried, I guess.

I really dig the Zecora, and there's another artist on Super Fan Art whose designs look spectacular (she's the one cosplaying as Derpy in her picture).
As much as I love the way they look, they're still a bit pricey for my tastes. Maybe down the line when the whole 3D printing thing has improved a bit we'll see some cheaper, more solid versions made available.
Yeah, this is pretty weird. I really enjoyed the previous series of Man At Arms, but now that they're going with weird crossovers... I'm not really feeling it. Usually the end result is some bizarre abomination like this was.

Looks like they're releasing random comic stories together as collections. Apparently a similar thing is done with the Sonic comics, and of course similar things have been done with Archie. This first collection has the Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy micro series issues, and the Rainbow/Trixie Friends Forever issue. I'm guessing this is basically for super completionists and parents who don't know better, but it has new cover art.

Hmm, on one hand, I'm not sure if this is referencing Angel or Supernatural or Twilight or what. But on the other hand, that's an adorable Flutterbat.

I suspected so, but there are so many things with vampires and guys in trenchcoats that I haven't seen that it can be hard to say.
Also, pony figurine shaped erasers seem like the worst possible use of decent looking models.
