Here is the 2010 Comic Con exclusive pony that only attendees of the San Diego Comic Convention will be able to buy (at least, until they start showing up on eBay):

My first reaction? I totally dig her.

My second reaction? I’m kinda bummed them moved away from the superhero theme but it’s OK, she’s still hella cool. I know white and purple has been done before but I love the overall effect.

But what you do think? Will you be trying to grab one on eBay after the fact?

Better yet, let’s write My Little Pony into it. http://mylittleponycollecting.com/lets-discuss-this-hasbro-factory-toy-movie-better-yet-lets-write-my-little-pony-into-it/ http://mylittleponycollecting.com/lets-discuss-this-hasbro-factory-toy-movie-better-yet-lets-write-my-little-pony-into-it/#comments Thu, 27 May 2010 19:24:27 +0000 Hillary http://mylittleponycollecting.com/lets-discuss-this-hasbro-factory-toy-movie-better-yet-lets-write-my-little-pony-into-it/ So let’s take a second to talk about this article. Hasbro sent out a press release to this effect so this news was all over the place a few days ago.

Now the original press release was talking about combining all their properties into a movie called Hasbro Factory. The movie is real and is set to be released by Paramount in the near future.

Hasbro already sold the movie rights to many of their board game properties so this could be the glorious Monopoly/Connect Four big screen cross-over we’ve all longed for. (Note: I own a knock-off version of Connect Four called Four-in-a-Row which I find refreshingly direct. I also own a knock-off of Battleship called Sea Battle. You know that you are jealous.)

But there is a lot of speculation that this could be a movie involving their toy properties. My Little Pony, Littlest Pet Shop, G. I. Joe, Transformers, Mr. Potato Head, Baby Alive, Gloworm, Easy-Bake Ovens, Tonka trucks, FurReal Friends and more could all be together in one glorious movie.

Let’s put our heads together and think about what that movie could conceivably be like. Which characters would they be most likely to use? Is Mr. Potato head locked into something with Pixar so he’s unavailable? Does Micheal Bay have a total lock on Transformers?

Who knows? Instead, let’s wildly speculate on what this movie could be about. You don’t have to use every property, but try to use as many as you can as you share your “In world…” style movie tagline below.

And you know what site you are on so, please, shoehorn the ladies of MLP in there somewhere, hmm?

Here are a list of Hasbro’s most popular properties to give you inspiration (links lead to Wikipedia to jog your memory):

(Good news for her as she is local!) You can read her post about this here. Now, I’m sure they have covered this somewhere on some forum but I don’t know where and the website is a bit busted right now so this is, quite literally, all the info I have for you.

I have nothing against Kentucky but I for one am really confused. At the 2008 convention, the fair staff said they had a contract to hold the convention in Las Vegas for the next 5 years. Unless I am having a math fail moment, they only held it there once so far.

I didn’t go to the convention in LV last year because I figured I had 4 more years to catch it there. Now, I don’t particularly care about going to Vegas and I think it’s more interesting to have it somewhere different each year than the same place for 5 years straight. My husband is kinda bummed, though, since I told him he could play Blackjack as long as I could buy ponies with all his winnings which was a plan he was oddly psyched about.

So I have to ask you, what do you think? Are you bummed that they changed the location? Were you psyched about a return to Vegas?

Do you know why the heck they changed their minds?

In the other corner, we have pastel My Little Pony toys.

Not related at all, right? Until this week, I would have agreed.

Submitted for your approval:

Exhibit A:

Paparazzi photos on Just Jared of Hugh Jackman pumpkin picking with his kids show him carrying around a handful of So-Soft My Little Pony toys

Exhibit B:


After I sent out the first picture above on Twitter, @Steves_Minty pointed out that this custom pony, The Pony from Oz (inspired by Hugh Jackman in the Boy from Oz, ‘natch) autographed by the man himself. (You can see more great photos of the autograph, the awesome pony and the Hugh Jackman here.)

Exibit C:

After I posted the two links above, another MLP fan reminded me of this picture that made the rounds of the internet a few weeks ago (one place that has it is GeekyTattoos but it is everywhere). It is a tattoo of Wolverine riding a My Little Pony. An isolated incident, I thought at the time. But as a part of the larger picture? Hmmm…

What is it about Hugh Jackman that draws him again and again to the mythical world of My Little Pony? Is it because awesome things in the universe naturally gravitate towards each other?

Share your theories and other Hugh Jackman/MLP crossovers below.

(You’ll be happy to know that Hugh is thinking in a font called “Broadway” above. I find that appropriate.)

I posed the question on Facebook and Twitter and got a few answers to get us started. (If you tweeted an answer but didn’t send it as an @ reply I may have missed it so please feel free to add it below).

From Twitter:
Def Captain America Pony, says @RobotsPJs
SPIDERMANN! =]] shouts @OhWowitssloane

From our Facebook Page:
Sarah Carter wants Batman Villain, Poison Ivy and Heather Fredrickson votes for Captain Underpants

I also voted for Swift Wind which I understand could never ever happen as they are rival toy companies but a girl can dream!

So what official MLP superhero would you most like to see? You can weigh in below.

Recently the media has discovered that the My Little Pony community has been making custom pony creations.

I am all for the media discovering this. Heck, it only took them 25 years to notice that we were doing stuff like this so I guess I should just be happy for the exposure.

But must they overlay their own words over something there was already a perfect good name for.

They aren’t My Little Pony mash-ups.

They aren’t modded My Little Ponies.

They aren’t My Little Pony mods either.

They are customs. Custom My Little Ponies. Is this so hard, people?

Is this driving anyone else as nuts as it is driving me?

While those of you only got to see that comment, I had the pleasure of getting the following in my email:

You know, I CAN sort of see the resemblance. ;-)

The only article covering this event is this Examiner post which was written before the event began.

So those of us that could not attend in person will have to rely on those of you that did attend to clue us in on all the good stuff we missed. If you are going to post a recap in your blog, please share the link with us below or just give us your thoughts or pictures in the comments section.

This is one case where what happens in Vegas really shouldn’t stay in Vegas so share, people!

(Answer below) http://mylittleponycollecting.com/what-was-the-most-annoying-my-little-pony-plot-twist-or-character-answer-below/ http://mylittleponycollecting.com/what-was-the-most-annoying-my-little-pony-plot-twist-or-character-answer-below/#comments Thu, 14 May 2009 16:31:58 +0000 Hillary http://mylittleponycollecting.com/what-was-the-most-annoying-my-little-pony-plot-twist-or-character-answer-below/ All credit goes to @shpan for the idea for this post. We were discussing on Twitter how mad we were at the ponies in My Little Pony The Movie for giving the Grundles Dream Castle. I was so bitter about that, let me tell you, I refused to buy Paradise Estate for years even as an adult collector.

I think my most annoying character would have to be Molly. Sorry, kid, but I always wanted to punch you. Your voice made me want to resort to violence. 

So, let me ask this of the pony collecting community. What plot point or character in any of the MLP movies, TV specials or cartoons annoyed you the most?

Please post your answer below as a comment so non-Twitter users can join in the conversation. Feel free to list more than one if you have a few pony pet peeves.
