For G3, would the little ponies that came in tins be smaller than the Ponyville ones?
Last night I dreamed about finding one of those tins, and also inside the tin was the pony that came with it and a couple of tiny ponies that were like miniatures of the G1 petites that had brushable tails - so tiny!
Aren’t the world’s smallest ponies from g4 the smallest?
I think they are counting those as being G1 since they are in the style of G1, even though they were released during the time of G4.
that makes sense. Never mind, then

Maybe in Equestria and its surrounding lands anyone of high/royal rank becomes an honorary relative of the Royal Sisters. Perhaps to show their allegiance to Equestria, which seems to be the dominant political power. (I'm still not sure how all the kingdoms work in G4. The Crystal Empire seems to be actually rather small as empires go, and I think also it's actually a part of Equestria?)
Like Taffeta being reminded of Japanese history, I've been deep into medieval Romania (and surrounding countries) recently, so that's why the name Vladimir delights me so much  A good strong Slavic name! The name of the prince/saint who Christianised eleventh century Kiev! Maybe pony Vladimir going to friendshipise (?) some distant kingdom!
Celestia is a sort of pony god, isn't she? (It's so long since I watched G4!) Maybe 'cousin', 'nephew' or 'niece' is a honorary title given to important ponies to imply that they have a divine right to rule. Maybe Prince Léon is the infant ruler of some little Equestrian principality! His immediate family perished in some battle and he was left the only heir to the throne, and ascended to alicorn status at an alarmingly young age....my imagination is running away with me 
Also, this is slightly off topic but relates to the above scan...Celestia suggested that Rarity was dying to meet Vladimir...Malicieusement?... O.o.
Mischievously? Maliciously? Which one? O.o.
Mischievously. Although I quite like the idea of a malicious Celestia . I seem to remember that she has a reputation for amusing herself with tricks at her subjects' expense. I suppose after living for a millennium you have to do something to pass the time....
their making any neighboring royal a relative would make a lot of sense, and certainly serve to explain why Celestia nuzzled Queen Novo during the credits of the MLP movie. I think the fans gave the royal sisters roles as gods, as it was never implied in the show. (I guess because they move the sun and moon, but the plain old unicorns did that before they did)

I know it’s a long shot, but bear with me. Since Hasbro wants to have the 2021 movie be the introduction to g5, as well as having the G4 mane 6 sprinkled in as a bridge), and of course Hasbro is a toy company.... I’m thinking that they could kill 4 birds with one stone with this idea. Ok, so just imagine: the screen starts off pitch black, and the scraping of flint is heard to start a fire- the sparks starting off purple (subtle g4 callback), and then as the fire is lit, turns traditional red/yellow. Dimly lit silhouettes of a band of ponies come into view, and one of them begins to narrate a campfire tale involving an adventure of the g4 mane 6 we never got to see in the show.
As the tale progresses, G3 to g5 Storybelle interrupts and makes claims that the tale is highly altered and she has the book to prove it. The ponies she argues with turn out to be the D&D ponies (because merchandising!). The argument dies shortly after and the group settle in around the camp and the Bard begins to sing a story, which transitions into the new opening song for the new series. As the group falls asleep and wake up later, Storybelle thanks them for letting her stay in their party for the night before she leaves. As the group bids her farewell, the sudden attack from a dragon overhead readies them for another fight, and as the dragon’s claws close in, the screen fades to black, and red claw marks come into view, with the title of the movie overlayed.
So there you guys have it- it’s a short and sweet intro idea to set the tone and characters- both past and present- to the g5 movie. I know it wouldn’t be very likely to turn out like this, but let me know if such a scene would invest you into the g5 movie and the series that would follow. Or share your own ideas on how the movie could start out!

The TV show is obviously in denial about how many alicorns there are . The toy-line has Skyla, Sterling and Gold Lily as well.
I like that Blueblood's name in French is....Vladimir. A wonderfully random choice of name. Then again, it does mean 'powerful ruler'. Is he more than just an indolent aristocrat? Does he have his own country somewhere? Does he hail from the pony equivalent of Russia? Or perhaps from a pony country known as Ro-mane-ia ?
Also, if Vladimir (that's now his name as far as I'm concerned. Much better than Blueblood) is a nephew and Léon is a cousin, just how closely are the two actually related? Vladimir must be the son of a sibling of Celestia, which is interesting since she apparently only has one sister and Luna has been on the moon for a thousand years and hardly had time for procreating. Unless of course she had a foal before her exile? And is Vladimir that actual foal, or do unicorns not live that long? Is he actually a great-great-great-great-etc nephew? And a cousin must be a child of one of Celestia's parents' siblings. Unless of course he's actually something like a second cousin or a cousin once removed in which case he could theoretically be Vladimir's son or nephew (but not his brother, otherwise he would be Celestia's nephew too).
So much to speculate on! G4 canon is more interesting than I thought. Although probably the reality is 'the writers of the French magazine wanted to introduce characters that are randomly related to the royals, so they did' .
Edit to add:
Ooh wait, I see Vladimir is a nephew by adoption! I didn't know about that. Is adopting family members something Celestia and Luna do?
Cadance is also niece by adoption, which would make her also related to Blueblood and Léon, legally, anyway. And since Cadance is married to Shining Armor, the entire Sparkle family (and Spike) are also related to Celestia and Luna. And so is Star Tracker (who was appointed as honorary family in “Once Upon a Zeppelin”) and the rest of the mane 6 (also appointed honorary fam in “Super Cider Squeezy 6000””) Oh, and did I mention the royal sisters also have another cousin? According to the book, "My Little Pony: Under the Sparkling Sea", Princess Celestia's cousin is shown to be a sea lion named King Leo of the underwater city of Aquastria, and ruler of the mermares and seaponies. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginWhat a confusing family, indeed.

visitors can't see pics , please register or loginIt's canon. The show staff and IDW staff have confirmed that what happens in the comics and pony books are canon until the show itself contradicts it, so I'm taking their word that its canon. Anyway, I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone ( to my knowledge) talking about the adorable addition to the alicorn family- that being, Celestia (and Luna's, I'm assuming) cousin, Leon. Granted, he's only shown up in the French magazine, but hey- canon, still, says show staff. He looks exactly like Prince Blueblood, Luna and Celestia's nephew, by adoption, but he's an alicorn. The similarities in appearance to Blue make me want to think that Leon is either Blueblood's younger brother (or clone?) and just an ascended alicorn, at such a young age, or a born alicorn, and whatever bloodline he came from has someone in there with some crazy strong genes, to get their stallions coming out looking that identical to one another, in ages so far apart.

Sooooo, apparently, Zoom meetups can only be 40 minutes (with 3 or more people) on the free plan. If you have premium, it’s unlimited, I think.
That being said- would anyone be interested in having an online pony tea party (whether on Zoom or Discord)?

I finally decided to start allocating a fund toward the Lolita fashion that I have long been getting into, and I even announced over on some Amino blogs that I wouldn’t be collecting pony much anymore (aside from what o already had saved for two future Kotobukiya ponies)
And not even a week after that announcement- guess what i fracking find? A g3 Rainbow Dash plush at the thrift store! And then the new wave of Basic Fun ponies that I thought I’d never see!!! Sonofafish!!!and of course, I couldn’t get any of them!

*u* To my knowledge, I don’t know of anyone who have made Takara customs. (I make them, but out of clay) Are you talking about using a fakie to mass produce customs, like HQG1C’s? Or personal customs? There seems to be an eBay listing for a fakie that is relatively decently priced for a Takara fakie, if you wanna start there. https://www.ebay.com/i/202634305516?chn=ps

Does anyone know if there are any zoom meetups for the older gen communities? I have wanderlust and am itching to get out, but it’s not safe, and I don’t think I want to hang around a bunch of men I’ve never met, from the g4 community, anyway.

Inner smiles all the way. I went thrifting today and found a baby Starburst, which was totally unexpected. Finding enough change on me to buy her, when I wasn’t sure I had enough. Funnily enough, I was small talking with the cashier and told her that hopefully, after this pony purchase, things start looking up today. Then, not even 10 minutes later, while playing Pokémon Go, I found a shiny Vulpix, which was doubly unexpected! All this after having a piss poor morning.

I remembered I had a couple pic's of my Luna (and Nightmare Moon) collection I took a couple years ago (the aircraft and trucks are a long story ):
This photo shows my latest items added after I took the pic'. The anodized aluminum coffee mug is by MyLittleTies. The little keychain is the poster image (Sibsy didn't make it, I just had her autograph it).

I was wondering earlier today if these ponies might be the cast of g5. Just hear me out. These ponies are tied loosely, in the box blurb, to Equestria. They are someone reminiscent of the mane 6’s characters. I am already somewhat invested in the idea of falling back toward a more gritty D&D type setting and feel that RaMC had that this set seems to pay tribute to. I don’t think I would mind too much if these were the ponies we would follow in g5 in a more adventure based world. I could picture Tale Spinner pony retelling the now olden legends of the mane 6 as g5 begins, to get the cameo out the way (maybe with Storybelle getting her own cameo to serve as inserting more accuracies to the tale), but yeah... I wouldn’t mind following these guys for a gen.
