MidnightRoses at the MLPTP made a quiz: What My Little Pony Race Are You?
Filming at the US MLP Fair
From SweetTune at the MLP Arena:
"As some of you may already be aware, MustBeJewel will be filming portions of her documentary entitled, My Little Obsession, at this year's Fair. She will be doing live interviews at the event as well as getting footage of the convention itself for her documentary.
In addition to Jewel's filming, I have been informed by Hasbro's PR group that Samantha Rose from online sketch series screwattack.com/shows/Underbelly will be attending the MLP Collector’s Convention and filming a post-convention wrap up for the site. She’s doing a feature that shows the evolution of beloved 1980s toys, including My Little Pony."

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic TV Series new gossip
Someone has put up a (I'm guessing unofficial) facebook page for the new tv series, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". And, as yaizel at the MLP Arena reports, there are some new pictures there.
So the first 4 images I have are comparisons of ponies and pony art.
Now, it seems pretty clear that Applejack and Pinkie Pie are gonna be in the series. Glory and Posey though are a bit of a mystery. If you dig through the arena thread ImmortalPanda says the Posey image was up on Lauren Faust's deviantart page, but got pulled off when the TV show went into production. Also, Lauren Faust did mention on her page that "Except for Applejack and Spike, Hasbro lost all the copyright and trademark rights to all the names from characters in the 80's, so I couldn't bring back anyone but those two."
But then we have another image on the facebook page:
There's Posey again. This image was apparently originally from Brittany Harriman's portfolio at AIGA. It says these images are for a "Licensing Style Guide for the new 2010 My Little Pony brand", and that "most illustrations, except badges were provided by Hasbro".
Now, not sure when those style guide sets were put together, so it doesn't mean for sure that Posey's in the series, or that Pinkie Pie is a pegasus for that matter. (And who's that white pony?) But it's a possibility, maybe.
Here are the rest of the style guide images, including another image of the maybe Rainbow Dash.
Colors of the Rainbow Swap
There's a new swap over at the MLPTP: Colors of the Rainbow Swap.

MY LITTLE PONY Shortbread Biscuit Heart Cookies
Hasbro has posted a MY LITTLE PONY Shortbread Biscuit Heart Cookie Recipe.
(As a kid I loved The Care Bears Party Cookbook so this little recipe hit the nostalgia sweet spot. Nice job Hasbro.)
Update on the Toyfair Unipeg
Remember these?
Hasbro released this image in a business magazine:
Hasbro released this image in a business magazine:
Looks like the brushable hair Lauren Faust said was coming. Also, is her symbol a button? Maybe her wings move? Still haven't figured out the identity of the mystery unipeg either.
Also, new MLP logo?
Also, is this Rainbow Dash for the TV series?

Walmart Sale on MLP Sheets and Comforters

Hasbro Licensing Press Release
Hasbro released the following in a press release:
So, we learn 1) the TV series is gonna have at least 26 episodes, 2) that Hasbro is pushing licensing of MLP, including home decor, books, beauty products, food tie-ins, cards, and fabric (yay!) in the US, and 3) I'm not totally certain I read it right but I take it to mean that the new licensed products will be in the new look. Which maybe implies that they're dropping the G3.5 look entirely? So what do we call the new look, G3.6 (they're keeping Pinkie Pie, so it's not an entirely new generation yet, right?)?
"LAS VEGAS, Jun 07, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --The Entertainment &
Licensing (E&L) division of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS) will arrive at the
International Licensing Expo in Las Vegas on June 8, 2010, with new and
