The award is a pretty big deal with the furry community, but beyond that? :pinkieshrug:

So uh, there's no way season 7 will finish airing before the movie comes out, is there?

We're only halfway through it and the movie is just 3 months away :bwuh:

Speculating that once Pharnyx learns his lesson, he'll make an attempt to convince the rogue Changelings and Chrissy herself the same thing, leading to her redemption and finale team-up with the Mane 6. Again, speculating. Image

Unless they tie the Changelings to the Pony of Shadows (there is some similarity based on that picture from the comics), I'm not expecting Chrysalis to return.

Edit: Actually if the Pony of Shadows is something that's summoned, I can see Chrysalis trying that.

Hmm. If they're showing both episodes on August 5, that means there's going to be a whole new episode on August 11. That's the Saturday of BronyCon. :ponder:

I don't think Pony would let Chrysalis' parting threat to Starlight go without following up somehow. I guess we'll see.

It's funny how you mention that now, because just earlier today I was thinking about how Bats! ended with a shot of Fluttershy still having a slightly pointy tooth in her mouth. It would've been cool if the show had stuck with that as a character detail for her, minor as it is.

Equestria Girls YouTube series in the works. Also a possible season 8 image.

Didn't a different studio (i.e. not DHX) animate those most recent EqG shorts? Maybe those were a test run and that studio will be making more shorts straight to YouTube.

Honestly I'd rather have Boulder Media handle Equestria Girls TBH, the short where Dash and AJ have a dance battle was really nice, and I'd like to see the series take that route. Also so far the outfits are looking a lot better.

So, they are making a Equestria Girls series and dumping it directly into the trash.
:toxx:

Jokes aside, this could be them testing the waters to see if a web series is a viable option to run a show on. Like if they wanted to start their own streaming site with all their franchises like a Netflix kind of deal. Clearly the show doesn't need the commercial revenue to stay afloat given that it itself is a commercial.

Not really testing the waters when Hanzuki is already a thing, and going by that investor meeting, a popular thing.

Since the entire point of the show (and the movie, and EqG's various shorts and specials) is to sell toys, anything that lets Hasbro cut out a middleman and have more direct access (or more access at all) to customers is a good thing. Digital services such as YouTube and Netflix are thriving and cable TV, especially premium cable like DF, is dying pretty quickly. Knowing that, Hasbro would be foolish to cling to cable TV any more than they have to.

The weird thing is, I haven't seen anything for Equestria Girls toys beyond that of the minis.

Not to say the minis aren't flipping AMAZING - I got Trixie to keep me company as mascot while I'm away from home on this training stint - but are they moving the EqG focus from the Monster High competition to essentially human versions of the brushie hair ponies (sans brushie hair and more playsets)?

My admittedly limited impression is that the main buyers of EqG toys are the same people buying FiM toys, i.e. kids who were excited to have doll versions of FiM characters and also Sunset Shimmer. Instead of making something to compete with Monster High, it worked better for Hasbro to mainly leverage FiM's strength so as to sell more toys. Toss in just enough YouTube shorts and specials to keep the EqG versions of them relevant and you have something successful.

Certainly no argument from me on that front - I thought the dress up dolls were rather ugly since they looked NOTHING like their on-screen counterparts as opposed to the highly accurate minis.

The minis just have heads a bit too big. Also no Sonata. Is Derpy out yet btw?

Hasbro has bad distribution close to their main offices to the point being a Tansformers fan is becoming miserable for me in spite of the kickass figures.

Derpy is out - do agree on distribution sucking though. Wave 1 of the minis is clogged so bad (mostly Rarity and Twilights in the School Horse ears) that Wave 2 just isn't being ordered. I ended up ordering a Trixie at four times the price she's worth merely to avoid any issues with trying to track one down.

But distribution for pony toys AND Transformers is just garbage right now. Not just for locally around Hasbro, since I've been in three states in the past month and everywhere I went it's the same.

Also, no Sonata OR Aria - Adagio was bad enough trying to track down, but it wouldn't make sense to only do two of the three dazzlings.

Well, now we've met everybody's parents except for Spike, Scootaloo, Starlight Glimmer and the princesses.

I guess Spike and Scootaloo are questions that don't especially need answering, since Spike is a walking lesson of "it's not who birthed you, it's who loves you" and Scootaloo stands for those whose parent-figures are just absent (emotionally or literally).

But I would like to meet Starlight's folks. I bet they were a piece of work. :-/
