About this blog

Just me talking about some random stuff when it comes to My Little Pony, or anything else that comes to mind.

Would you ever want Star Wars-themed My Little Pony toys?

As you all know, next year is Star Wars's 40th Anniversary, and I expect this to be as big as possible. And as you all know, Hasbro is the primary toy maker of Star Wars figures, especially the higher-quality Black Series figures.   But I always wonder: What would happen if Hasbro worked out a deal with the Walt Disney Company(Their partner) and Lucasarts on giving their My Little Pony franchise a Star Wars promotion? And if it does become reality, how would it be done?   There are three i

Why do musicians die so young?

This is something I consider disturbing when it comes to musicians.    They always seem to die so young.  Why is that?  Is it some kind of curse?  This comes off the death of Tom Petty, who only lived to be 66 years old.  But he wasn't the only musician to die at 66 years old in the past few months.  Hawaiian Music fans lost a living legend: One half of the Brothers Cazimero Roland Cazimero.  He and his brother were well-known for some of the most beautiful Hawaiian Songs.  Here's an exampl

Who was the better villain in 2017?

Now folks, I'm doing a poll based on villains.  Mainly My Little Pony.  But you'll find that I put in a 3rd villain from the Star Wars franchise just for fun.  Anyway, here are our entries. 1) The Pony of Shadows: While his form was indeed scary, he was rarely used and didn't do a whole lot to the Mane 6 or the Pillar 6 in Present time.  Some say he had as much screen time as Nightmare Moon during the Series Premier: Friendship is Magic Part 1 and 2.  In the end, he was banished back to the

Which villain(Both MLP and NOn-MLP) would come out on top

This is just a "Just for the heck of it" post.  I'm pitting 5 MLP villains and 5 non-MLP villains against each other. Queen Chrysalis: Leader of the changelings.  Antagonist of A Canterlot Wedding AND To Where and Back Again.  Shapeshifter.  Possess powerful magic Lord Tirek: Villain of Twilight's Kingdom based on his Rescue at Midnight Castle form.  Also possess powerful magic, but can also drain anyone of their magic The Dazzlings: Adaigo Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze.  The

What is the San Diego Comic Fest?

Tomorrow, I will go to my second Convention of the year: The San Diego Comic Fest. It's a smaller convention compared to Comic-Con and Wondercon, more like the early days of Comic-Con. A few of the guests there originated from Comic-Con(For example: Mark Evanier has previously been a guest at Comic-Con since Day 1 and is recently coming down to celebrate the late Jack Kirby).   If you live in the San Diego area, here's the link. It will go from tomorrow to Monday.   www.sdcomicfest.org

Today's Padres game at Petco Park: How to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat

So instead of attending the last day of Anime Conji, I wound up going to a Baseball game at Petco Park.  The match was the San Diego Padres(Our home team) vs the Cincinnati Reds.   The game started out with nether team making any runs, until the Reds got a Home Run in the 2nd Inning, making us a bit nervous.  Halfway through the game, the Reds were 2-0 after they got another score.  We were in trouble. And then the Padres finally decided to take it seriously.  Sooner or later, the base

Time to head to Comic-Con

In at least an hour, I will be heading up to the San Diego Convention Center for the 49th Annual San Diego Comic-Con.  As such, I will be posting a journal of my events there.  I will also post these events on my Deviantart Page.   Note: My plans for tonight include Jay Fosgitt, finding a gift for a relative, and playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

The Pony Multiverse....or PonyVerse

Since acknowledging My Little Pony: Pony Life as the next chapter in the legacy of My Little Pony, I thought to myself "What if Pony Life crossed over with Friendship is Magic?"   But then, I thought bigger and wondered if there will ever be the idea of a Pony Multiverse? With the recent successes of Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, and Teen Titans Go vs Teen Titans, there is always a thought in me about a Ponyverse that exists within Hasbro's own ideas.  Many universes with different

The MLP Movie would have flopped regardless of reception.

THis is something that's been going on in my head recently with the My Little Pony movie.  And this is gonna be harsh, but I feel like I have to say this. This movie wouldn't have done well regardless of reception. Even if this movie got a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, it still wouldn't do well in Box Office.  Sadly, I can bring up one prime example and it's a recent one: "Teen Titans Go to the Movies."  Despite its positive reception at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie only made back $11.5

Starscream as an Equestria Girls Villain

For those of you who don't follow Hasbro's other well-known IP the Transformers, it's a show about heroic Autobots battling against the evil Decepticons.  They possess the ability to transform into vehicles, weapons and beasts.  In this series, Starscream usually serve as Megatron's second-in-command, only to plot to overthrow his master and become the Leader of the Decepticons(This usually results in him getting the tables turned on by Megatron). However, during my day, I though "What if S

Star Wars-Themed My Little Pony Toys?

As you all know, Hasbro is NOT only the main provider of Star Wars toys(Especially the Black Series), but also Marvel and Disney Princess toys as well(And there are still rumors that Disney could buy out Hasbro, making them owners of not just My Little Pony, but also Transformers and GI-Joe). Also, Star Wars is about to celebrate its 40th Anniversary.   But how would you all react if Disney and Hasbro reached a deal where the My Little Pony toy series got a Star Wars-themed Spin-off?

Sometimes, it feels depressing with My Little Pony's presence on the air.

What I'm talking about isn't the fact that the series will end soon.  What I'm talking more of is the fact that this series has lasted a long time, yet a number of long time favorite cartoons are ether ending, or will be ending soon.  And not just the ones that showed up on the Hub  or Discovery Family like Transformers Prime, Transformers: Rescue Bots, Pound Puppies, Littlest Pet Shop or Dan Vs. But also cartoons from other channels like... Adventure Time(Will conclude this year) Regu

So, my thoughts on "The Best Night Ever," plus Star Wars: The Clone Wars part 1

The first Season finale. Long before Season Finales were two-parters and had villains for the Mane 6 to take on.   It was originally hyped up for the first Season: Wanting to explore what may be the best night ever for our heroines. Hoping for their dreams to come true   Applejack: Business for Sweet Apple Acres Rainbow Dash: Hanging with the Wonderbolts Pinkie Pie: Partying out Fluttershy: Befriend the animals Rarity: Meeting the love of her dreams Twilight sparkle: Hanging out with the p

So who here has tried out the Playstation Now on PC?

So recently, I decided to give the Playstation Now a try through the 7 day free period. I had a great online provider(Cox), and I had a Logitech F310 controller.   They both worked well and I was able to enjoy playing one game: Katamari Forever. Damn, that game is addictive.   But I dunno if I want to put down the $20 a month for the service, mainly because I'll end up forgetting about it. What PS3 exclusive on the PSNow would you recommend that I try out?

So what is Comic-Con?

In the next few days, I will be going downtown to attend the San Diego Comic-Con.  I've been doing this since 1999, and yes, I know ticket prices have gone up compared to years past.  In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it got up to $300 next year. However, before I talk about Comic-Con, lemme talk to you about my experience at this year's Wondercon. Unlike Comic-Con, Wondercon is a much smaller venue.  Furthermore, it's located up in Anaheim, right next to Disneyland.  I went up there

SMASH WATCH

For those of you who don't visit my Youtube Channel, I'm going to be doing these videos that talk about Smash Bros Ultimate.  What I will talk about the most are the newcomers to the series.     I did this video last week that talks about the initial characters that have been announced.  Which includes every character from the first four Smash Bros, plus newcomers Inkling, Daisy and Ridley. When a newcomer is announced, I will put up the words "UH-OH(Warning: New Challen

SD Comic Fest Day 1: I only have the best people

Today marks the first of three days at the small and simple San Diego Comic Fest, having returned back to its old home at the Town and Country Hotel and Convention center.  Most of the morning was spent doing some random drawing, but I was able to attend a few panels.  Examples include 1) Two Back-to-back panels involving Frankenstein(Including Previews and One Shot Specials) 2) A Spotlight on Lalo Alcaraz: A CArtoonist who's known for his political artwork, as well as his contribution

Pacific Ponycon Final Day: The Sun Sets once more

I left much later than usual due to relatives showing up for breakfast. Thankfully, my first panel didn't start till at least 11:30AM. It was the IDW Comic Artists panel. They talk about their experience on My Little Pony the Comic series, and any advice they gave is all about how to be a better artist. Interestingly, they all have used a Wacom Cintiq(Which I own)   Also, during that panel, a mother and her son talked to the panelists. Her son, who has autism, had problems connecting with

Pacific PonyCon Day 2: Just a day in the Looney Bin

Day two started earlier than usual. After I ate Pancakes at the Claim Jumper, I went over to Mummified's Your OC Sucks panel, where he talks about many elements on how to make a good Original Character for My Little Pony. I did a sketch of a character that was apart of my OC idea. When I showed him, he actually did liked it, but he gave me a suggestion when it came to looks(Which I took to heart and applied it. Now I think it looks perfect)   Next came the Tabitha St. Germain panel, where

Pacific PonyCon Day 1: The Sun has touched down.

So Day One of Pacific Ponycon just came and went. Here's how it went for me.   First panel I went to was the "Bronies React" panel. It's where Bronies take alook at videos on Youtube, mostly My Little Pony related, and they react to it(Like Kids React to or Teens React to). Surprisingly, they know about Ghost of True Capitalist Radio and the little remix that Alex S did(Melting Pot of Alcohol)   I had lunch at the Claim Jumper later on, and I had a bowl of Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup.

Now that I think about it, the MLP Movie sequel needs to be more tragic.

A while ago this month, I posted my idea of an MLP Movie about Celestia and Luna going to war against the Timeless Empire with a number of allies(Some from the first movie).  But I have changed things for my idea. First off, Starlight does not get hit by a poison orb of some sort.  Instead, she serves two things 1) As Twilight is still not with Celestia, Starlight serves to help comfort her mentor's mentor through these hard times, even going as far as to heal Celestia when she suffers

No Hasbro Comic-Con Exclusives?

Every year, by this time, Hasbro has announced most of its Comic-Con exclusive line up. Last year, Bronies were disappointed in a lack of Comic-Con exclusives.  But this year, something seems odd.  Hasbro has yet to announce a single Comic-Con Exclusive.  There are only two logical conclusions I can come up with. 1) Hasbro is biding its time to announce a single Comic-Con exclusive.  This is the scenario I'm hoping for: Hasbro is simply waiting till next month to talk about its 2018 Comic-C
