Courtesy of Bigbadtoystore.com, The pony banks have been officially revealed, with the first one shown off being Applejack. The pre-order is going for about $19.99, with a release month of October.

I'll just have to wait for that fabulous Dress Horse one. :vogue: And on top of that, I'm surprised, because they're a lot cheaper than I expected, I was thinking these would be around $60.

This's been posted in the S5 Rumours thread but FYI:

MLP FiM Season 5 may NOT be airing in Fall 2014 but in 2015 after all.

Apparently Hasbro edited their investor's press release and changed it from Fall 2014 to just 2015

Soooo I guess S5 airs in 2015 then?

I definitely didn't expect Applejack to be the first. With that in mind, Rarity is either going to be released second or last.

Better be second... :ohrarity:

I'm sure it won't be last, because they already have a final version of her it seems, from the leaked images. While Twilight still hasn't been seen, for example. (Though I'm not sure if Applejack was in the photos or not, I know Fluttershy was too, in addition to Rarity.)

I can't quite figure it out, do they ship international?

Even though I have a wallet and a bank account for my monetary needs, I really love those banks. Are they going to be made in every member of the Main Six?

I would guess so, since the leaked photos showed Rarity and Fluttershy. I don't see why they would just stop there. Though I wonder if after the Mane 6, they'll do more, like the CMC perhaps?

Also, I can vouch for the website in that it is a reliable one, I've used it before for pre-orders, and they're good with that.

If they make more banks then they'll likely be of other big characters, like Celestia, Luna, and Discord.

Well, I was thinking if they were to do CMC banks, it would be one bank, with the 3 of them together. But only if they'd do that, because otherwise, I'd think individually they'd be too small.

I'd also like to think they'd do all of the other major characters as banks when they're done with the Main Six. The Celestia one will probably look beautiful.

It would be cool if the banks could play a soundbite when you put coins in, like the AJ one could say "Yee-haw! Now that's more like it!" :twasnothin:

Hmm...that is a good idea. Would it only play one soundbite though? That could get old very quickly.

If possible, they could play a different one depending on the value of the coin. Like a nickel would be (for AJ), "For corn sakes!" and for a quarter do the "That's more like it!".

I don't see how you can trademark a word referring to a group of people. I mean, could Trekkies be trademarked?

To my knowledge, Paramount never made a Trademark grab for "Trekkies" or "Trekkers", even though Paramount did produce two documentary films about the fandom called "Trekkies" and "Trekkies 2". Paramount has also been very hand off with fan film projects, even some projects which include members of old Trek shows.

eg.

Star Trek: Renegades



edit: Never mind then. CBS does in fact have the Trademark.

Here's the segment of that show. According to Colbert, when we left Iraq in 2009 it was just as unified and harmonious as Ponyville.

I wonder if he did that joke because he thought it was genuinely funny, or just because he thinks My Little Pony is still something popular.

It works for both. For the older audience who might not be familiar with FiM but would still recognize MLP, it's a funny juxtaposition of cuteness vs. the actual condition of Iraq. For people who do know FiM, it's both that and a shoutout as well.

Colbert has done shout outs to FIM before, so it'd make sense that he'd throw another one in sooner or later.
