Ponies in New HASBRO TRADE CATALOGUE!

[Ice Crystal]

I know EQD marked it as a rumour but I'm pretty sure it's legit at this point since that was taken from a magazine handed out at the Toy Fair.

The concept art (Trixie and that one of the mane six going around) is still unconfirmed, as is the movie synopsis.

Trixie's presence makes me think it's more likely to be a hoax.   Very "fannish".   To Hasbro, she is just another background pony.

I am also HUGELY skeptical of that "industry magazine".   I really cannot imagine Hasbro greenlighting a second MLP cartoon (or spin-off) while "MLP FIM" is still airing.   Webisodes maybe, or--more likely--a toyline without any media associated with it.  But a second full-blown series?   To air THIS SPRING???    It would already have to be SO far along in production, I can't believe that we wouldn't have heard ANYTHING about it before this point.

I'm not so certain that the presence of Trixie would necessarily mean that it isn't real.  I mean if you are going to have a high school drama you have to have a "mean girl".  Trixie fits the bill more than any other character.

On the other hand, the way they are almost all standing in the exact same position is irritating and to me is the biggest point for it being fake.  Who stands like that anyway?

YUK  do not want   please do not turn mlp into a high school drama  with humanoid characters

Oh the leaked info just keeps getting juicier. There is even a video of someone skimming through the Toy Fair magazine and showing that the article really exists in it.

Last time we saw leaked art of Trixie, people were very skeptical, but it ended up being true. Hasbro has made at least 5 toy versions of Trixie now? I am not so quick to discount these pics as being fake.

A spin-off series sounds great. Anyone who doesn't like the premise could just possibly avoid watching the spinoff.

I am skeptical of the Trixie image too. It may be a really well done fan vector based on the mane six art. But I also wouldn't discredit it. Trixie is a fan favourite and as BrightIdea said, Hasbro has noticed enough to make brushables and blind bags (in different moulds, no less!) of her. They even went so far as to change her name from Lulamoon to Trixie Lulamoon based on fan's reactions. That's not to mention all the licensed merch (trading cards, t-shirts, the Funrise plush prototype, etc.) of her. She's not an unknown pony by any means, and she's a cash cow to boot. It wouldn't surprise me if they included her in the show.

I'll only two things about this image
1. I hope it's only a side series I think it might do well as a web based series but I don't see it having the same market and appeal as FIM

2. If they make dolls like this I'll most likely get the AJ for my apple army I must admit I do like her outfit I might make one for one of my MH dolls just for kicks

Wait, didn't they try this for batman too? Like Harley, Ivy, and batgirl were all cheerleaders, Joker and Two Face were running for class president, and cat woman was the school's goth? They made art for it but it never got anywhere..... maybe this will be similar?

[TrixieStix]

and look Trixie!

Did... did they seriously try this for Batman? Oh my gosh. It sounds ridiculous and I would watch the heck out of it.

I really hate the whole "they all look basically identical except for the hair" thing. Some of those outfits... come on. AJ in a skirt? Please. She'd totally be wearing jeans. And the shoes up to the knee... why?

Trixie's dress is pretty fab, though.

I'm still extremely skeptical that this is real; HOWEVER, the fact that it misses the point and appeal of FiM so badly (and puts AJ in a dress!) makes me think it does reek of executive decision...

I think it's totally real. It may just be in a prototype phase and it reeks big time of E.D.
