Just finished watching it, it was pretty good. A little odd how the first nearly half was without songs, then suddenly the 2nd half was MUSICAL NUMBERS. Not bad, not overly catchy, but okay I guess. Animation was good, I noticed it was trying to look a bit classic with pencil like line work. Voice acting was pretty cute, love how they got James Earl Jones to reprise his role as Mufasa.  Only thing that bugs me a bit is that it's a "in between" series, since it's placed between LK1 and LK2... so it's gonna make LK2 well... not so canon.. unless Kion just winds up with a totally unhappy ending and vanishes at the end? Seems a bit of an odd choice, but overall, a good start to the series, I look forward to more.

Also, I was surprised they openly addressed death, admitting to the hyenas killing the gazelles. Good on them for that instead of trying to do the "everyone is friends" route.

But TLK2 was just... awful! It's one of only a few Disney movies that I can't watch. I don't mind them erasing TLK2 from the storyline. I was surprised (and happy) that Kiara is in the new show. I was sure that they were going to swap Kiara out for Kion.

Funny, I didn't mind it too much. I just think it's odd to do mid movie series, that's all.  It's like, we know the ending so whats the point? Unless Disney is trying to make TLK2 non canon...

It won't be rushed, cause it's not a cancelling, it's an ending of choice. The last ep is a full hour finale, so I think it's going to be awesome.

Haha, I know. That's why I said I'm glad that it won't have a rushed ending. I'm sure the finale will be great!

Ah, forgive me, I missed that word. ^^;  But yah, it's looking to be good. I just have to wait to find it online.

Off Topic / Gravity Falls is ending

So it was announced that Gravity Falls will end for good at the end of Season 2.  There's only 2 episodes remaining.

I was a late fan, only getting into the show partway through season 2 (so I had to go back and re-watch everything), but I really enjoyed the series. For the long time fans of the show, what are your thoughts? Personally, I'm very grateful they're ending it where they are. As it was said, it was meant to be one summer, and it can't go on forever. Let it conclude on a high note, instead of going on forever and losing it's appeal, like so many other shows. It's so rare we see cartoon series complete their storylines. Far too many derail, or are cancelled before the arc is finished (Young Justice for example...) I think it's a good place to stop, as the story is finished.  What do you think? Happy or sad we're saying goodbye to the Pines?

Pony Brag Arena / Cutie Mark Crusader full size Funkos!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


So, yeah, I told myself no more ponies a long time ago. Then I bought a few mystery mini blind boxes and decided I just had to have the full size ponies instead. Then I saw the CMC were released on Hottopic and... well now I've spent entirely too much money getting more regular funkos (yikes some are pricey). While I wait for the others to arrive in the mail, my CMC arrived! They're so cute at this size! I really love the Funko line, and I wish I started collecting them sooner. These are totally what I want, show accurate!

...though I think I may need to paint their cutie marks on them now...

Your plush are awesome, but I was trying to make it so the swap is a little more equal across the board, to make it easier to partner people up so there's no one saying "I wish I received ___ style".  I linked to plenty of patterns you can buy, you could always try one of those, it's a great opportunity to try something new. :)

According to one online inflation calculator, $5.00 in 1985 would be valued at $11.00 today. Anyone wanna pay $11 for a G4 Pinkie Pie?

That's actually pretty much what I pay for a basic G4 in stores up here. Gotta love the north. ^^;

Prices vary across the board dependent on location, availability and most of all, inflation, that's just how things work I'm afraid.  We used to be able to buy chocolate bars for $0.50 too, but those days are long gone.

Etsy is probably your best bet, but word your products carefully. I know there's countless MLP stuff on etsy, but Hasbro's legal eagles do routine swoops and shut down products all the time for copyright. With these you could easily get away with simple keywords like "angel wings" or "bird wings" and be just fine, as you mentioned, many still thought they were cute and didn't realize they were pony. You don't wanna get a warning from etsy (once is warning, twice is banning). Otherwise, it is the best place to sell crafts. Just do your research, make sure you figure out shipping before you list, cause shipping is the #1 thing to mess you up.

Added those who have submitted so far! I love Trello, it makes organizing something like this a cakewalk.

I've not made a G4 styled pony but I can follow and adjust patterns so I may try to do this one.  ^.^

You can do a plush of any generation shape, just as long as it's a pony type body (so, like, no making the pony a dragon LOL). :) Last time some people made amazing G1 style plushies! I just listed G4 patterns cause that's all I could find, if you know of others, please feel free to share. :)

Woo! I got approval so here we go! :D

CUSTOM PONY PLUSH SWAP!

Sign Ups: Now until December 12th, 2015
Partner assignments completed by: December 19th, 2015
Check In: February 1st, 2016
Shipping Date: March 1st, 2016

This gives just over 2 months to make your plush, so I hope that's lots of time! If for some reason you think you won't be able to finish, please let me know IMMEDIATELY so I can rearrange things. When I do checks ins I will be asking for photos of your progress. Don't need to be done, just an update is awesome. :)

When you are finished, please PM me pictures, and I will mark you finished and send you your partners address.
Please do not ship until I tell you do, so I can try to ensure no one bails at the last minute and no one gets skipped.

------------------------
Rules & Requirements:
1. Please be able to respond to PM's for checkups, and let me know if problems arise ASAP
2. No negative swap feedback
3. You are welcome to add extras/goodies, but they are NOT a requirement.
4. I reserve the right to turn anyone down who does not meet the requirements.
5. I still start checks as soon as I receive you're application, and will PM you if/when you are approved. Once sign ups close, I will get the assignments done, and as soon as I finish, the swap will start!


The Plushie:
1. This swap is for sewn pony plushies only, no crochet.
2. You can make it any generation you want, you can use any pattern you'd like, just as long as it's a pony of  some form. Please no pony balls/loaves or "non traditional" for this one. There's tons of patterns out there for super cheap and I will link to a few for purchase from artists below if you might happen to need one. :)
3. This swap is NOT paired by skill level. Please do not get upset if the plush you receive is not your standards of ULTIMATEQUALITY. I expect everyone to do their best, so please love what you make, and love what you receive!


Shipping:
1. Specify where you can ship so I can match accordingly!
2. Must package your plush in a box so it will arrive safely!
3. Tracking numbers are a must (EVEN FOR INTERNATIONAL), and you must PM me the tracking number when you ship.
4. You are responsible for your own countries import/custom/duty fees if they arise when receiving a plush.

I understand that these requirements may make shipping expensive, but this is to ensure ponies arrive quickly, safely, and in one piece. If you cannot afford to pay shipping/customs please do not sign up, or please say you will do your country only.
Sorry, but if you agree to international and you get somewhere that costs a small fortune to mail to, you're stuck with it (I'm from the Yukon, EVERYWHERE is expensive for me so I sincerely understand the suckage of shipping! LOL).

I think that's fine, since you'll still have all of Jan and Feb to work on the plush. :)
