Not only that, but the box art shows her with yellow wings. Though the pink ones clash so horribly I almost wonder if the factory ran out of yellow ones and said "ah, screw it."

I feel like whatever the reason for that is, is probably the same reason that Celestia switches occasionally from being pink to white in the toyline. It's not because Hasbro doesn't know what their characters look like, it's because of how they want to sell them.

A Big Mac brushie in general would be nice. Sucks shining is the only guy with one. At this rate we'll probably get A Flash Sentry Brushie before A Big Mac one. :applejargh:

Nope. But I would not be surprised if one, either pony or human popped up somewhere eventually. :gotcha:

Which makes me curious as to why he was in Equestria Girls at all. Was he really put in by Hasbro, or did the writers see fit to cram in a forced crush character? I have not seen a single piece of merch with him, yet other male characters like Big Mac get something.

I'd be fine with a lil Pony Flash Sentry in a future Blind-Bag PVC set as he has done nothing wrong & does not deserve hate. *He's just trying to do his job as the new captain of the royal guard people!!!*

But yes Human Flash was a pointless forced crush that didn't amount to anything and got his innocent pony counter part pointless hate! So poo on Brad!! :rainbert: :applejargh:

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Flash, if only because he's responsible for two of my favorite fan creations ever. Also certain elements of the fandom's overblown reactions can be fun to watch.

It is kind of hilarious that two out of three of those characters don't actually boost their own kids.

Then again, Rarity's dad would probably get better on with Pinkie and Pinkie's mom would get on well with Applejack.

Random post...anyone else tired of buying MLP CCG cards and having half the pack be the same cards as the last one you bought... I really hope they improve on Variety in the second set.

That's the entire gimmick of trading cards. You buy them and then either spend a ton of money filling out the last bits of your collection or you trade them with others who have extras you need and want extras you have.

I'm just glad we're getting an expansion soon, I stopped buying things just because I was happy with what I had in my deck, and no other cards really interested me.

Yes. The very earliest cards were just plain trading cards, with pictures and blurbs about various characters, but then their publisher began making a CCG and its own series of cards. That game gets discussed over here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3939

Yeah, except the object is to solve more problems than your opponent, rather than attacking them with ponies. :-I

Yeah it's a pretty fun game and not like any CCG I've played before, so having ponies with it is just icing on the cake.

But yeah similar packs is nothing new either, even MTG seems to have a limited number of combinations of cards to go into packs.

Well, a lot of these work by printing sheets, cutting them, and so on - so there is an actual issue of packs having literal identical runs if there's no effort made to prevent just that.

Finally watching the finale, and I won't post this in the episode thread 'cause it's got nothing to do with the episode, but in this first song there are a couple of shots where you can see both of Celestia's eyes and it's making me think about how I never really like it when that happens. This is probably kinda weird but I feel like the way Celestia's mane normally covers her face really adds to her presence; it gives her a look of aloofness and power that's very fitting for a literal deity and when that other eye comes into frame something about it just feels off.

I think Celestia's mane covering one of her eyes looks kind of cool myself. Having said that, I do like her appearance in scenes such as in ACW when she's staring at Twilight along with the others as Twi accuses "Cadence".

Minor nitpick: The Flintstones had 166 episodes, not 167

I'm surprised SpongeBob (188+ episodes) and Rugrats (177 episodes) aren't included. Oh, and "Doraemon" with 1,787 episodes. :-I

I love how after South Park, the shows go into Super Mega Ultra Huge Number Of Episodes Territory! :gotcha:

And some of those shows are 11-minute ones, with two crammed into each broadcasting block.

Also, I'd like to point out how grateful I am that FiM gets 22 minutes per episode as opposed to 11. Can you imagine how drastically different things would be if the team only had half as much time to tell a story? :-/

Ah yes and to think in some alternate universe there exists FIM just as Faust had originally considered doing it. Taking place in the quaint hamlet of Fillydelphia where the Mane 6 go on DnD Quests every episode.....and they're only 11 minutes long.

Some shows do really well in 11 minutes, though. I guess it depends on how much materials they have. There has been few FiM episodes that I felt would have been better if they were shorter.

The benefit of 11 minute shorts is they just cut to the chase, period.

I was thinking of that the other day and I think FiM would lose an awful lot of heart in that format. It works well enough in the comics (the general feeling I've gotten is that it takes about two standard 22-page issues to tell one whole episode's worth of story), but in the show it would feel a little bit bland.

Eh Pony feels too much like a sitcom to me for it to ever do well in the 11 minute format. I mean sure a couple of the Rainbow Rocks shorts are great, but I really don't think the format goes well with FIM.
