Fast forward to 1:20 for a quick and funny My Little Pony cameo.

My Little Pony Cocktail? I’ll drink to that!

Check out 7×7 for a recipe for what sounds like a really yummy cocktail inspired by My Little Pony. But this certainly isn’t the first MLP inspired adult beverage and it certainly won’t be the last.

My Little Pony Marketplaces: Selling ponies beyond eBay and message boards

Hillary — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:39:29 +0000

Whether you’re just looking to unload the occasional double or you regularly have ponies, customs or other MLP items to sell, there’s a wide world out there for selling pony collectibles beyond eBay and message boards. I did a presentation at the 2011 MLP Fair Convention that was an overview of the different pony friendly marketplaces available today and the advantages and disadvantages of each. For the more frequent sellers, this presentation will also explored a variety of free and inexpensive options for selling ponies from your own blog or website even if you aren’t an experienced designer or coder.

If you weren’t at the convention, I compiled all the info from that presentation (plus some more) into an eBook called Beyond Amazon, eBay, and Etsy: free and low cost alternative marketplaces, shopping cart solutions and e-commerce storefronts. It is only 99 cents so if you missed the talk or just didn’t feel like taking notes while you were there, it’s an inexpensive way to catch up.

Happy pony selling!

The Pwnie Awards adopts My Little Pony as their mascot

Hillary — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 17:00:05 +0000

My Little Pony has acquired another unlikely fandom: computer hackers! We’re already familiar with the gaming term Pwned and how it applies to MLP from this shirt but this annual award show takes it one step farther.

Their awards are actual early G3 ponies spray painted gold! (Are they only picking ponies with pink hair to spray paint or are they re-rooting the manes and tails? These are the things I wonder when I see something like this.)

See?

Their logo, as you can see, is even old G3 artwork. You can learn more about the awards by checking out Pwnies.com/. CNN also has an overview here.

My Little Pony: Danny, the original brony

Hillary — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 13:39:00 +0000

I made this for your amusement. I have long wondered what the B on his hat was supposed to stand for and now we know… it stands for brony!!!

Updated: Just for fun, I threw it up on My Little Brony. If you want to comment/vote on it, that’d be cool.

What’s the deal with the Super Secret My Little Pony Guide Sale?

Hillary — Mon, 30 May 2011 16:00:57 +0000

With the My Little Pony Convention coming up, Priced Nostalgia Press’s popular My Little Pony price guides for collectors from Summer Hayes are in high demand. Between Facebook, Twitter and the site proper, we’ve got such a great community here that I wanted to be able to do something to give MLP Collecting readers a little something extra. I pulled a few strings and was able to get Priced Nostalgia to agree to a VERY special discount just for readers of this site.

But here’s the catch: the discount is so good that we have to limit it only to readers so I’ve had to literally lock it down in a password protected post so the publisher doesn’t get in trouble with bookstores.

So here’s how you take advantage of this special sale:

DM us on Twitter (@mlpcollecting) to ask for the password or grab it from Facebook here.
Log into the password protected post here.
Purchase as many books as you want and take advantage of the combined shipping deals in addition to the discounts. But we can only offer it through July 1st so please get your orders in soon to avoid disappointment.

Even if you already have the books, you may want to check out these prices anyway. It might be worth it to grab a copy to use for trade later.

Sorry for the subterfuge but I think you’ll find that it’s worth the extra work.

Lady Gaga wears a necklace made of My Little Pony figures

Hillary — Tue, 17 May 2011 01:11:22 +0000

The world’s most visible MLP fan, Lady Gaga, stepped out this weekend with ponies tied around her neck like a necklace.

At least now we know who the target demographic for this is.

What do you think?

Update 5/20: I found a better picture where you can actually see the ponies.

What do you think of the new My Little Pony style and poses?

Hillary — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:39:07 +0000

Hasbro decided to take My Little Pony in something of a different direction this year with bigger heads and smaller bodies. While this new style makes My Little Pony look more like the Littlest Pet Shop line of toys, they don’t have much in common with the ponies of last year.

Toys R Us just announced via Twitter that they are starting to stock these new MLP items so I wanted to take a look at the first ones to hit stores and find out what you think of them.

Let’s take a look at four of these new ponies in this new pose and style:

My Little Pony Rainbow Dash

My Little Pony Cheerilee

My Little Pony Styling Pony Pinkie Pie

My Little Pony Winter Sweetie Belle

As a fan of the vintage MLP, I prefer that when the new ponies look as much like the old ponies as possible so I cannot get 100% behind this new look. That said, I have to admit that some of the pigtail ponies are a little bit cute.

So while I don’t love this change, I could get behind it, I suppose assuming they still make ponies in the traditional style.

One thing I can’t get behind?

My Little Pony So Soft Starsong

But I’m just one opinion. What do you think?
