The power of the bronies is strong.


This is from the Las Vegas Licensing Expo. Image from the Angry Otaku, and were posted on EqD ([size=78%]http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/2012/06/mlp-licensing-expo-2012-images-from.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EquestriaDaily+%28Equestria+Daily%29&utm_content=Google+Reader[/size]). I posted them all and discussed them on my blog, too ([size=78%]http://mlpg4merch.tumblr.com/post/25000416754/las-vegas-licensing-expo-pony[/size])


So now she has a canon street name and stage name. I do hope she gets a ton of merch, she's great.

I still think she looks like a guy pony.    I like the name Vinyl Scratch, myself.

[Phekzhen]

She's quite androgynous, and I do like that about her.

I like the name Vinyl Scratch compared to DJ PON3. Vinyl Scratch just seems easier to say.

That's a nice looking poster.

Ooo, that's a nice poster.

I like the name Vinyl Scratch as her real name... Still think DJ P0N-3 should be her stage name, though (reminds me of deadmau5, who I adore. )
Anywhoo, she is definitely my favourite reoccurring background pony. Such a cool design.

So...they're continuing to use the names bronies have come up with as the ponies' official names?

I really do like the names, regardless if bronies came up with it or not. :3 It's rather creative, fitting, and nice sounding.

Agreed. As soon as that Nightmare Moon set's available (which IIRC contains Vinyl Scratch), I'm gonna grab it (even if I'm broke by then and have to wait 'til Christmas for it. ); Vinyl's a fairly unique background pony and I'm glad she and others like her are getting some attention.

Yeeeeeah, cuz that worked out so well last time! I'm wondering why a big ol' company is suddenly bucking policy and is using names that they didn't come up with themselves - what happens if someone trademarks a "fandom" name before they do?

Too much fanon becoming canon these days for my tastes.

Well I guess she was always likely to get a name as she has a confirmed TRU release in the big collectors set and I much prefer Vinyl Scratch over the silly DJ pony thingie name ! And it does seem a nice fitting name for her "career" not something completely Hasbro random.

They are picking up on the ponies adult fans like - Lyra, Trixie, Sunny Rays [if Bon Bon doesnt make an appearance in the next couple of waves I will be stunned!] etc - so perhaps it was inevitable that along with manufacturing the ponies that are popular they would simply run with the names fans are calling the self same ponies [especially on adult merch which is what this event was all about after all - no point manufacturing product for adult fans who call the pony Vinyl Scratch and then renaming her Musical Sparkle on the merch] . Lyra and Sunny Rays are fan sourced names as well arent they? I could be wrong on that though. Or maybe after 30 years and thousands of different ponies, Hasbro have simply run out of name ideas...

This. She was fine being DJ-P0N3 in canon. Though this is one of the few I don't mind that badly, since she was already made canon with a fanon name but it didn't really fit with Hasbro names.

I'm just sick of bronies and their fanon taking over MLP entirely. But if Hasbro wants to ignore all non-brony fans, fine with me. I'll ignore Hasbro's products. If my business doesn't matter to them, their products don't matter to me.
