Nah, the toys are just reprints and people want new molds and better stuff, not rehashes of the post-g3.5 lineup. I bet the minifigs are selling like hotcakes and it's the brushables that are suffering.

Are they making toys that actually look like the shape of the characters in the show now?

Oh right.

There's a big new line coming up right?

And the shows ratings continue to be strong right?

#335654 Ace Of Scarabs Tue, 5th Feb '13 2:06:54 AM from Singapore

@Kyler: Yup :D Got Applebloom, Diamond Tiara, Lotus, Zecora, and Hoity Toity recently :D

@Apple: Yeah, the show's ratings are strong as ever.

As long as Season 4 maintains the goodness I shall be very happy.

edit: Derpi will be having 5-hour downtime for maintenance and upgrades. Switching temporarily to 20% Cooler.

To be honest, I'd rather they end on a high note with Season 4 instead of trying to drag it out. There's no indication of declining quality, but I'd still rather the ending be 'let's away, the fun is at its peak' and not 'things have been declining for a while now; guess they might as well put it out of its misery'.

Won't be online for a while due to the holidays. Stay safe, happy and warm!

#335656 Ace Of Scarabs Tue, 5th Feb '13 2:41:42 AM from Singapore

A Glorious Ending would certainly be prefered over finishing with a whimper.

Life without ponies...could be sooner than we think.

Even if the show ends, we'd still have the comics and fan content.

How brilliant would it be if after the show we got Big Finish style audio adventures? Hey, I can dream.

I'm so hip, I have trouble seeing over my own pelvis. I'm so cool, you could keep a side of meat in me for a month.

They gave us these little ponies and can't take them back :V

I just hope the show gets a few more years at least.

And is this the known world

That map is really cool but it seems to be missing Saddle Arabia.

Yeah I think that it would be better suited as a guide rather than a definitive example.

Then again, the map could have been made before Magic Duel aired. (shrug)

The world-building is one of my favourite things in this show.

I still say they should move on to either a spinoff or a G5.

#335665 Ace Of Scarabs Tue, 5th Feb '13 3:33:23 AM from Singapore

That's a fanon map :V

The official map marks Gryphon territory eastwards across the oceans, and the IDW comic explores south of the Badlands.

Agreed on the spinoff.

#335666 Purple Dalek Tue, 5th Feb '13 3:34:42 AM from Betelgeuse

Cutie Mark Crusaders spinoff yay!

Alternatively: The Marvelous Misadventures of Diamond Tiara the Wonder Bully.

#335667 Ace Of Scarabs Tue, 5th Feb '13 3:44:13 AM from Singapore

Maybe we could get a Daring Do or DJ Pon-3 or Octavia spinoff :3

No, no. "Daring Do's Adventures", guys.

How would you all feel if the show took a leaf out of Pony Tales, and introduced three boys as recurring characters, at the same level as the CMC? Maybe one...could be a brother of one of the Pegasi?

EDIT:

I did this this morning

◊. It's just a rough idea of how this future comic might look. I'm still working on sharping up the art style and all that. But I think at this stage, the story is more important.

Why does that make me think of Tiny Toon Adventures?

I'd rather see the CMC get their own spinoff.

@ Kyler

I don't know. Is it because of the equal focus on male and characters?

Also made an important comic related edit.

#335673 Ace Of Scarabs Tue, 5th Feb '13 4:03:06 AM from Singapore

@Apple: It's got a certain roughness to it right now, but otherwise it's a good and clear style. Looks like you're using uniform line thickness, rather than varying line thickness (Harder to pull off, but helps emphasis on objects and segments of objects).

#335674 Applelight Limited Tue, 5th Feb '13 4:06:14 AM from Manehattan to Canterlot

@ Ace

I guess I should give both styles a try.

And I wonder if I should try shading. It's not my strong point, but...it could be worth it.

What gets me down though is...the quality of art out there is so high...mine looks 'shoddy' and plain in comparison.
