Camp Cutie Mark is exactly it. It's legit. It looks awful and disastrous for the brand. I'm hoping they saw the backlash and changes it, but it might be too late for that.

The reboot for 2026 leaked a bit ago. It's lame. I don't know if it's currently hosted anywhere on the internet since Hasbro gently asked people to take it down, but it's really disappointing.

The final animated episode for G5 has been uploaded today. The series was cut short. The only remaining G5 media that we're waiting on is the comics. China is doing some figures that look much better than anything we got released domestically.

As far as the animated series goes, I'd suggest watching Cxcd's video here. As someone who's been following G5 closely at the start and had contact with a few insiders, this seems to be pretty correct and a good summary of what happened corporate-wise to cause such a disaster.

I'm glad to hear things are okay! Hopefully the power is restored soon.

Per a source (that I have talked to personally for previous g5 affairs), the ponyverse concept is cancelled and we won't see much in 2025 at all. This is also mentioned in the EQD blog.

I tried to do this on the Wiki years ago but it's definitely a very difficult task, it was hard to tell if a certain color was batch-different or indeed actually very different. I think it'd be appreciated!

I finished the maze! I upgraded Mane-iac and Gold Cap. :) It forced me to upgrade a Minotaurocellus during the tutorial.

Here's the link to the 3-pack on Target's site.

Ooh, I actually found Tilly and Finley today! I didn't see Bailey, though. I bought both Finley and Tilly.

I intend to take better photos for an in-depth overview for Tumblr later, they're getting their hair dried right now. I would say they're definitely bigger than the photo makes them, as you can see compared to the G3!

The hair seems to be nylon, I think? I'm questioning myself because it's kind of oily, but I shampooed & conditioned it and it seemed porous. The ends on mine were stringy right out of the box and had some waves from the way they're packaged, so I imagine I'll do that with all of them. I'm just letting their hair dry mostly straight. I'll be able to give more accurate information tomorrow.

I also hope to pick up an extra Finley to take apart (I would be the one to do that, wouldn't I?) for custom research. Their heads seem to be a ball joint (and probably yoink-able). One front leg has multiple points of articulation whereas the others just bend at the body. They can be a little tricky to stand up and their pose has one of the legs pushed inwards a bit, so you can't splay their legs out completely. Hard to explain. When I take photos in the next few days I'll try to illustrate that.

The base models themselves are the same on both of these, just the coloration differs. The rooting is four or five rows (I forget) with a circular row of rooting for the bangs. Tilly's bangs are NOT glued down!

What's your name in-game, Ponyfan? I already have you added!

The recent update changed mine from "Ruby Cookie" to "Chaos Brooms", which I think fits better anyway. :)

I'm just hoping the Clear The Skies pony this week is a new one for me. It's been a few weeks of event repeats.
Another week of repeats... :( Maybe next week?

I did get Daybreaker in the last sale. I think the Nightmare Rarity Retold event will rerun soon, but we're also expecting a Bump, Set, Spike rerun based on edits to the code. Either or...

 I play every day still! The seasonal shop just started up again, too.

I got Party Time on her first appearance so I'm just hoping the Clear The Skies pony this week is a new one for me. It's been a few weeks of event repeats.

I'm kind of like... yeah? We knew they had resin... I was kind of surprised they'd even gotten on the shelves at all. I'm curious what will be released in the future, because I feel like the entire brand is based on this.

Toy-wise, there just straight up aren't new products to order. There's a Rainbow Maned Izzy that I just saw listed on Amazon today, but before that... what, the five-pack with Haven? The dragon set? They just aren't releasing anything.

Even if these sets are more interesting than what was released the year before, as said, there are minimum order quantities and a cost to having these items on the shelf. If Sunny didn't sell well in 2022, they're not going to order her new set in 2023 because a shelf-warmer loses money. That's space that they could fill with something that moves, like Mini Brands or Monster High or something else. Walmart only has four different products near me, maybe five? And they've been pushed to the Preschool section away from the fashion doll section.

...But even if they did sell well, there's nothing to stock. Hasbro has said themselves (I can never find a source but I absolutely remember hearing this, if anyone knows where, I'd love to find that link!) that they're more interested in farming out their IPs rather than producing first-party toys.

Merchandise wise, there really isn't anything. I think I end up seeing more G4 stuff in stores between smatterings of Five Below products and Hot Topic stuff. I've seen coloring books... that's kind of it.
