US toy manufacturer Hasbro is to integrate all of its content all of its content businesses under one division to be run by Hasbro Studios
I feel the merch is already pretty diverse. Hot Topic is putting mlp on pretty much everything they got, from underwear to headphones. What i really hope for is a toyline that isn't mostly just re-releases.Honestly, i hope the show is not becoming more important than the toys. I already miss the more interesting ponies we got at the start of G4. I want my toys to be designed by toy designers. Not someone who was copy pasting some stuff in flash to fill out a scene.
*snippy*I dearly hope that quality control picks up as a result of this. That is one of my main concerns with the line (the other is the endless amount of main 6 releases).
Sorry if this post comes off as rambling, but I've got a bone to pick.First, let's start this off with a bit of positive news. The good: There is a 4th season of MLP in the works. I know because I've been brought in to work on it. I'd prefer to keep specifics out of it, as I'm fairly certain some of what I'm about to say could get me fired. Daniel Ingram is back, all the VAs are back, most of the writers/animators and such are back.However, Hasbro has started to take more control in the development of My Little Pony, and have made some, frankly, terrible decisions. We're all still optimistic about the show and are working to bring you a great show, but it's hard to work with some of the stuff they're forcing on us.This brings me to the bad: Twilight Sparkle becomes an alicorn princess in the S3 finale. This was not something we had any control over. This was purely a move by Hasbro to sell more toys. Some of you may have seen images from Hasbro's overseas offices with alicorn Twilight, these are in fact accurate. We have tried to do our best to weave this into the plot of S3, but this is still something that probably should never have happened. However, this pales into something that came down from above regarding S4.The ugly: "Drama Pony Hooves" has been canned totally. As of Season 4, we are expressly forbidden to put her anywhere in a shot. After controversy last season, they attempted to pull her entirely, but due to fan backlash, decided "phasing the character out" would be a more effective way to get rid of her. You may have noticed her greatly reduced appearances in S3. This is in part because of that decision.The one thing I ask is that you don't blame us for what we have to do. The animators, composers, and script writers had nothing to do with this decision. there is nothing we can do. Short of an overwhelming response from the fanbase, I fear nothing can be done. At least I can say I tried to fix this.
Wow- did anyone read this rumor? (linked on EQD as http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/141z35/season_4_the_good_the_bad_and_the_ugly/) Who knows if it is legit or complete crap- Could be either... but I suspect that it is true just based on the content. Plus it also makes sense that the info was leaked this way with no source so the person wouldn't get in trouble with Hasbro...
