They keep talking about "supercharging the blueprint" as if it was some sort of supervillain plan

When will the brand toolkits update?

They said presentations would be available later today, so I’m guessing a similar timeline for the toolkits.

My attention span is not good so have they mentioned Littlest Pet Shop at all?

Same setting as G4 but magic is gone and everyone is paranoid and distrustful at first. Ponies in the middle are new characters. The main character is named Sunny Starscout.

Not a fan of the jointed non-brushables, I want my ponies with hair. but I'll wait with judging until we have better pics of the toys, honestly.

:lol:  I hate when big companies do that. :lol: 

But in all seriousness, do you suppose that they read fanfics looking for ideas? :wonder:

Officially, they're not supposed to read fanfics *in case* they accidentally copy a fan's idea, the fan gets angry and demands compensation/sues them/etc.

Though it wouldn't surprise me at all if they did have someone keep an eye on fandom trends at least, to "see what the fans want" or what-have-you.

My G3 fic was about an evil force conspiring to keep the earth ponies, pegasus ponies, and unicorns from uniting, and working to separate them when they did. Maybe for G5 the twist is they just...fell apart on their own or something.

Well it's after 5pm so everyone in the offices have probably gone home and yet they still have the 2020 brand kits up. I guess they aren't bothering to update them anymore.

It was live at 1pm EST today. There will be a video replay at a later time. For now, there is only an audio version.

In the meantime, here's my audio-less version of the relevant news. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj8owtobVHI&feature=youtu.be) I'll cut together what I can.
Edit: NEvermind! The audio is for the QnA.

Welp, I'm not happy, for two reasons. One is I hate the heads (still too FiM-like and the toys are worse), the other is it sounds like this is still in the FiM universe instead of being a badly-needed real fresh start.
