So... after months of gathering data. Collecting images and even taken pictures of my ponies. After weeks of getting up earlier to work (6AM yeah!) on the site and sacrifising school-time. I can finally present to you guys:

MLPMerch.com has now databases of all the generations!
https://data.mlpmerch.com/

Since our book will be released in about 2 weeks, and since the book is about the older gens as well. We made the decission so start fully developing the older generations databases to that all would be finished when the book will be released.

Especially the G1 US/Regular section should be quite complete now. We've created a search by characteristics page to ID your G1 (non-Nirvana) Ponies quickly. (I hope :p)
https://data.mlpmerch.com/g1/characteristics/
We've also added a highly-requested feature: You can now add notes to ponies. So if you want to write down where you got it, the condition it's in or which accesories you have/want. You can now do so by clicking on the speech-bubble icon under the pony.


But sadly we're not yet completely finished. You have the abbility to add all the ponies to your list. But some features and collections are yet missing. Below is a small list of things we hope to fix within 2 weeks:

- Adding a search for characteristics page for G2, G3 and G3.5 (and adding ID options)
- Fixing some of the icons who are still from the G4 section
- Release the Ponyville Database
- Adding more images of missing ponies.
- Fixing errors/bug if found

Things that will be also added asap but not within 2 weeks:

- G1 Petites
- Dream Beauties
- G1 Other Figures

---------------------------------------------------
Sadly we're also still missing a lot of images... especially of G1 Nirvana's and the European G2's. You're free to send missing images to us and you'll get credit on page of the specific pony: https://data.mlpmerch.com/g1/details/g1tep2lo/ And at the bottom of the Database page with a link if desired.

So yeah... feel free to report any errors and mistakes and tips are welcome as well. I'm so happy we could finally release these as they have been requested for quite some years. :D

For my Minor me and two other people are developing a mobile game (Android) called Yadu's Defender. It's a fast-paced arcade game where you have to defend the planets of Yadu by controlling the Legendary Dragons. We're still in development and we're looking for testers and feedback about our game.

Pony Corral / Coming next month: My Little Collectibles! (Our book)
« on: September 15, 2018, 01:29:03 PM »
About a year ago we (My BF and I) got contacted by a publisher to write a book about My Little Pony. Now, a month before the official release I proudly present:
My Little Pony Collectibles.

So, what can you expect of this book? Well it's a great book for those who want a nice introduction/ overview of the whole My Little Pony Line from 1982 till present day. You won't find every pony in this book (far from it) but it does give info on a lot of different ponies released like different kinds of older generation ponies, convention exclusive ponies, ponies from other countries and more! We also included a small guide on how to start and maintain your collection and some info when it comes to pricing ponies. Whether you are totally new to the world of My Little Pony, or want to know more about past generations.

So it isn't a collectors guide with all the ponies listed. It's more of a overview of the whole MLP Line and some basic collector information. Great for those who just want general information and are for example new to the world of MLP. But some rare ponies are also included like Nirvana's and more.

(Too be honest we did write more but we sadly had a page/image limit haha. :P The publisher was also in charge of the cover but I think they did a great job! )

I also would like to thank several users here on the Arena for donating some images for our book. I'll contact you as soon as I have information regarding the shipment. :)

Pre-orders for the book can be found in our blogpost:

Pony Corral / Cutie Mark Crew Code Research
« on: August 11, 2018, 10:57:46 PM »
My BF and I did a big research with the Cutie Mark Crew Blind Bags to see if there's any code scheme. You can read our finds here: https://www.mlpmerch.com/2018/08/are-there-codes-to-identify-cutie-mark.html :)

So for quite some time I've got some comments on LPS Merch that my site has some errors, missing pets, wrong info like numbers and so on.

First of all about the generations: Yes I know my way of counting is different but it seems like there's no official way as some people call the kenner ones G1. That your method was first isnt a good argument imo. For those interested here's my opninion:

Spoiler
Ah found my mail. Please keep in mind that this is my opinion and my arguments. You're ofc allowed to disagree :)

"As the generations go, I believe there is no clear idea at which generation we are right now. As far as we know Hasbro doesn’t categorize their toys in generations.
The other thing that doesn’t help is that not everyone has the same idea about the generation order as well. Some of them for example claim that the Vintage Kenner ones from the 90s are actually generation 1 and that the 2005 ones from Hasbro are already Generation 2. Some also claim that generation 2 and 3 are the same but that means that G2 contains over 2300 pets. Also the G2 and G3 ones are quite different with the use of Eye-Symbols as well as the brand-design. A thing we also keep in mind is that everyone is able to edit Wikipedia. So for me it’s more a personal thing, that everyone has their own idea of which pets belong in which generation. I’ve written down my theories below:

G1 – The Start of Hasbro’s LPS line, pets are natural looking in terms of colors.
G2 – Introduction of the eye-symbols
G3 – Pets become more cartoon-like in terms of colors and expressions
G4 – Complete reboot in terms of pet-design and packaging, also ties in with the show
G5 – New pet-design as well as well as the packaging
Pet In the City – A smaller line that falls under G5, Counting restarts at #1
G5,5 – Counting starts again but thing in terms of packaging and logo are quite similar to G5
G6 – Pets are the same as G5,5. But there’s a total new way of counting pets (Series 1… *number) etc. Packaging and Logo have also drastically changed."

Alright so I also have people who tell me some pet info is wrong or missing but when I ask What exactly is wrong I never get a reply back. So I'm kinda lost atm.


So this is a topic where you can report the errors of my sites. Not Just LPS Merch but also MH and EAH Merch. I will fix it all as soon as possible. :)

Sigs & Site Support / Sales/Trade Forum Idea
« on: July 22, 2018, 12:49:30 PM »
I hope this is the right place but I have perhaps a small suggestion.
Is is possible in the Sales/Trade topics that everyone who opens a topic adds their continent in front of the topic title? Like:

[EU] Ponies for sale!
[US] Ponies for Trade!

With UK, AUS, etc. Something I would like to buy some ponies but then I figure out the person is from the US which cranks up the shipping cost a lot (and don't question the import fees *shudders*. With this it's easier to see from where someone is shipping from. The downside could be that people can ignore your topic beforehand... I would like to hear everyone's opinion about this. :)

Customs / A Pony for my Internship
« on: June 26, 2018, 02:05:38 PM »
So I'm finished with my internship, just have to write my essay and then it's summer time. :D
He knew he was into My Little Pony and we had some fun talks about it. Just like my last intership I deciced to make a custom representing the company as a sort of farewell/thank you gift. Just spreading the love for ponies I guess. Here's she is:

She's made from an All About Rarity Brushable. Her eye-colors and body colors really matched those of the company. The Cutie Mark is the new logo (which I designed btw)  I just printed it and sealed it with a very thin layer of glue. The collar was added because the head plug is terrible to remove with these new molds.

Anyway he loved it and I hope you people like her as well. :)

First look at that school and I already said to myself: "Yup, that's gonna be the new large playset for this year."
The diverse cast really looks interesting though, all those species! :D
