Hey guys! I know some of you have risers for your pony displays that way you can make multiple rows visible.

Is there a place I can buy these? And recommendations? Or will I have to make my own?

I currently have hand built ones but when I move out my girls are going into a new display case and I'd like to get some for them.

I wanted to make a thread to keep anyone interested in the FIM comic up to date and also to help anyone interested in reading them figure out where to start!

What is in each of these comics?

The main series recounts the adventures of the mane six happening off screen. The "arcs" can span from two to four issues and there are some oneshots. Lots of fun stories!

Friends Forever takes two ponies, ponies who are friends or ponies you'd never expect to see together, and tells a story about them. Each issue has two different ponies.

Fiendship is Magic is comics about the villains Tirek, The Sirens, Chrysalis, Sombra, and Nightmare Moon. Each issue focuses on one character.

Legends of Magic tells tales of the history of Equestria and the ponies who shaped it and explores the past.

The Micro Series was a series of one-shots where each issue focused on one character.

Deviations is an one shot exploring a "what if?" scenario.

I want to read the comics, how should I start?

If you are not looking for single issue comics there are many trade paperback, omnibus, and hardcover variations.

For those looking to buy in bulk I recommend purchasing the omnibus volumes. There are currently three omnibus volumes of the main series and two omnibus volumes of the Friends Forever series. The main series omnibus volumes have collected issues #1 - #37 as of now while the Friends Forever omnibus has covered issues #1 - #22

The other option is trade paperback, trade paperbacks cover four issues each. This goes for both the main series and friends forever. The main series has 12 so far, friends forever is up to 9.

Adventures in Friendship is a series of hardcover comics that contain one comic from the micro series and two comics from the friends forever series in each volume.

The Micro Series is collected in two trade paperback's called Pony Tales.

The Fiendship is Magic series is collected in a single trade paperback.

Annual comics are released in trade paperback, as is the EQG holiday special.

I'm not interested in the stories but I love the art, are there art books?

Sure is! There art art galleries, cover galleries, an art book and a treasury edition to showcase all the awesome covers and art from the comics!

Now here's something weird!

A burger joint called 25 Degrees (located in Bangkok, Thailand) is now serving a one of a kind Rainbow Dash burger! The burger itself is made with wagyu beef, roasted pepper, avocado, thousand island dressing, and cheddar cheese between two rainbow covered buns.

And - get this - it's served with onion rings, pink milk, and two cupcakes!!

It's only available as a Valentine's special from February 9th - 16th for a total price of TBH 450++ (or ~ $12.84 USD).

What do you think? Would you eat it?

We could always use a Care Bears topic. Especially after seeing one WYP thread in particular, I though a discussion would be good.

I'll start off by talking a bit about my collection and my favorites.

Though everything is stored away in the attic for now, I own almost one of each bear from the 2002 relaunch excluding anything that was non-US. One Christmas my parents got me every bean bag 6"(?) bear, including true heart and noble heart. The only plush I no longer have was my big 3' Grumpy Bear! I believe he was donated. I currently don't own anything from before or after this line toy wise. I still have all my VHS tapes and DVDs in my room. This is the majority of the Nelvana series and the DiC series plus three movies and the original special.

My favorite bears are Wish Bear and Work of Heart Bear. My favorite cousins are Brave Heart and Noble Heart!

As for the lines, I love the original 80's bears, the 2002 bears, and I have mixed feelings about the current generation. Though I like how they look, I find the smaller selection to be boring (and goodness do I hate that cozy heart can't talk). The show is cute but not a favorite.

I'm very fond of the original 80's art work and toys as well as how they appeared in the DiC series. 

Merry Christmas everyone! It was hard to get though this morning, as this is the the first Christmas since my grandmother's death this summer. I was thankful to have my boyfriend with me today.

I wanted to share my pony gifts!

The most important gift to me here is The Art of Equestria. In talks about the creative process behind Friendship is Magic and shares a lot of unseen background information and concept art!
With The My Little Pony movie, I now own all G1 media!
I'm very excited to get my first Guardians of Harmony figures too, the shadowbolts parts keep detaching though.
The other book is the third My Little Pony omnibus, it's the G4 comic series.

I also received some wonderful unicorn gifts!

May your holidays be filled with pony joy!!

Now let me answer the question I'm sure you have, "What the heck is a drabbit?"

Drabbits are "Dragon Rabbits". They are puppets created by Albert Alfaro Jr. who runs Imaginarium Galleries. Though centered in Pennsylvania, they travel all over the US to Renaissance Festival's and conventions. The company has been around for 40 years and specializes in these drabbit puppets among other creatures. Drabbits don't always look like dragons, some have attributes of wolves, unicorns, birds, monkeys, cats, giraffes, elephants, and more! http://www.imaginariumgalleries.com/

I first set eyes on them about six years ago one one of my first trips to the Texas Renaissance Festival and I was in love. Unfortunately I was still in high school and without a job so I couldn't afford one of my very own, but that's not so true anymore! In fact, I came home with two. All six of us who went came home with one, either purchased or won in the nightly raffles. I hope one day to afford one of the bigger more posable ones, but I'm very excited about my two girls.

Without further ado, I introduce you to my wonderful new girls, Squibbles and Alexandra!

Squibbles is the little one. She is a Newborn Drabbit! These are the smallest and cheapest drabbits you can get. They can still be puppeted and have side to side and up and down head movements.

Alexandra is the big girl there. She is a Stuplet Drabbit. You can see she is quite bigger and has wings. The wings cannot be puppeted but they are fully posable, she also has a good range of head movement. This is two sizes up from the newborns and cost quite a bit more as well.

If you're curious about the puppeteering, their movements come from a long cable that can be discreetly slipped into a sleeve or the back of your shirt. You twist the end of the cable to have the heads move from side to side, and you press in to have the head move up and down. When you get to the much larger sizes they can have two cables, which will control wing movements, breathing, and wiggle abilities! They are made to perch on your shoulder and it's quite fun to startle curious folks who want to pet them.

I'd be happy to share my friends Drabbits as well. Four of them purchased newborns like Squibbles (all of which were quite adorable), and one got a smaller Stuplet like Alexandra.

One of my favorite animating pairs, DuoCartoonist, has finally released their much awaited animation "The Moon Rises"! If you feel you may recognize the name, their previous hit was "Children of the Night".

The animation is about Princess Luna and her decent into madness as her jealousy transforms her into Nightmare Moon. I've been following the process of it for months and I've been very anxious to see it completed. I know the Luna / NMM is a subject often explored, but I can't get enough of it. Especially when people can make things like this out of it!

It's not disney level of course, but the animation is very well done. The backgrounds are all digitally painted and they are just stunning. There are some hiccups, and it doesn't have all the same fierceness as the animatic did (especially with Luna ascending the stairs to the throne). Also, the ponies have their own style rather than just being G4 models, which is really nice. I know working on animating that hair must have driven them mad.

Just wanted to share because I haven't seen it posted here yet. It's quite a sight!
