Title: Pony Life Season 2 / Magical Bats, Peacocks, and Tigers!
Post by: tailrustedtealeaf on March 12, 2021, 03:24:51 PM
Wasn't gonna start a thread on just PL season 2, but these animals are...interesting.
First things first:
We have six episode titles so far. Episode Guide (https://ponylife.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_Guide) is and will be up to date.
Quote
Cute Impact
The Crystal Capturing Contraption
Close Encounters of the Balloon Kind
The Tiara of Truth
Time After Time Capsule
The Great Cowgirl Hat Robbery
Season 2 will begin airing on April 2nd on TinyPop for UK folk (https://www.atvtoday.co.uk/169231-pop/). No other airdates for English airings have been found.
Tiny Pop's (https://www.tinypop.com/sites/uk.tinypop/files/pl_mlp_colouring_sheets_s2_v2print-min.pdf) site has a printout page with various coloring pages. Aside from standard Mane 6 pages, we have some interesting characters!

Other coloring pages show us that the bat is named Echo, the peacock is Sugar Snap, and the tiger is Lightning Chill.
No colors for these characters as far as I can see, just the same picture of them pasted in a few different pages.
When I posted about the original article to my PL friends, no one noticed the summary either...
Quote
The Mane 6 – Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie – will experience exciting and otherworldly events such as the opening of a magical portal, travelling through time, and even visiting another dimension where they will meet some truly wild new friends.
I know the general consensus on PL is negative, but I think the new animal characters are very cute! I love that the tiger has hair, I'm curious if these will get toy releases. We had blind bag figures that were animals with horns, but none of them were either of these three. Unfortunately, we didn't have any G4.5 toys shown off that weren't those EQG dress up sets or the Smashin's.
I'll have to dig around and keep my eye open for other official art of these three. Maybe we'll see early April if nothing else! We don't have any synopsi for when these might appear, just the titles of the episodes to go off.

animals with unicorn horns? No thank you. I'm already not watching Pony Life, this is not helping. But if there's EQG and a certain boy appears then I will specifically watch those episodes for him.

I've always hated the recent trend of sticking unicorn horns on just any animal. Also never liked how the pony friends (except for ones who actually do have manes, like Kingsley, Zigzag, Creamsicle) had long hair, and the same feeling continues here.
I'm also getting STRONG LPS vibes from them, if not for the cutie marks, I would have never guessed they were from MLP.

That bat is just the cutest!!! Also love the peacock. Tiger is ok, but at least I know why that one isn't as cute as the rest: the mane...

I miss LPS.

I'm not a fan of the random horns either but the bat is super cute!!

They are cute! But I'm frustrated knowing there's no way we'll see them get toys, especially with G5 starting this year in time for the fall toy reset. Just some more G4 characters who won't ever get toys. Bunch of missed opportunities like this in the G4 toyline. I hope that changes with G5 and they end up making toys of nearly all the G5 characters during its toyline run.

I think they look weird.

A lot of people seem to dislike the random, unicorn-ized creatures, but I’ve always liked them. X3 I have a handful of Beanie Boos, Poopsie creatures, etc. with similar designs.

I agree that it’s frustrating knowing these guys will likely never receive merch. :( That bat is adorbs.

I think they're pretty cute, apart from the stupid horns (soooo sick of the "stick a horn on anything" trend). About damn time we got more pony friends! Too bad they likely won't get toys - unless they come back for G5?

Bleh, let's get on to G5 - these designs feel very lazy (to me they feel like they could come from just about any super generic 'UNICORN ANIMALS ZOMG!' toy line which are a dime a dozen now - not specifically MLP or anything.)

I do appreciate the choice of a bat though - sort of unusual for this sort of thing!  I'm surprised it's not a (yet another) Llama.  Bats are good.

I really like PL's muted color schemes, very easy on the eyes. Agree with everyone else who said the horns are a weird choice. I get unicorn horns on equines like zebras or donkeys but it's kinda jarring to see them on a bat or a bird. It's not cute to me, it looks like they are some mad scientist's experiments.
