Firstly, a huge thank you to all 1,800 folks who've decided I'm worth paying attention to over the years. I know they aren't all still active, but it's still gratifying. Now, read on for some creepy-cool pony news. (And I think I beat Equestria Daily to the scoop!)
Jason Freeny has made a career of dissecting that which was not meant to be dissected, from balloon animals to gummy bears.
And the madmen at Hasbro turned him lose on the Mane Six.
Fair warning: Freeny's signature style is reminscent of the Norse goddess Hel: Half intact, half with bones and organs in full view. If that isn't your thing, you'll want to click off now, and I'll provide a buffer so I don't accidentally blast your screen with it.
This concludes the buffer. Now entering the bone zone.
The coward refuses to speculate on the contents of unicorn horns.
Have you ever been so angry that your skeleton glared?
Bold of him to assume Pinkie isn't bigger on the inside. And that she contains recognizable organs. (Though that may be a pancreas rather than a lung.)
I admit, this is the first official pony merch since the Best Pony Funko figurine that I ever legitimately wanted. Thoughts?
- MLP: FiM
- Romance
- Comedy
- Random
Twilight Sparkle's spleen falls in love with her gallbladder, and is willing to do whatever it takes to be with his forbidden soulmate. Yes, really.Automatically thought of this particular story that I've never actually read.
Edit: Okay now I’ve read it. Awesome story.
What do you want to bet he asked as a joke?
"Hey can I candy gore your ponies?"
"Yeah sure YOLO."

Anonpencil. Not even surprised.

HASBRO: What on Earth is this? We can't market this to our target demographic! What are you playing at?
FREENY: I'm sorry, I thought you wanted -
HASBRO: It needs sparkles!
Wait, what about the Fan Series Guardians of Harmony wherever else they were called statuettes? Those things are pretty damn good, I own a couple. And there's also the MtG crossover depending on your definition of merch. And also the anime EQG thingies, I wish I had the money to get those.
Either way, yeah, these look nice. I need to check if they'll make it on this side of the ocean and how much they'll cost, I might consider getting one.
They know who among their fans have spending money, I guess
("TETSUOOOO!" "KANEDAAA!" "RARITYYY!" "PINKIE PIEEEE!")
Also, congrats on the big round number \o/
5337281
Yes, round number, very pleasing, good job. :)
I refuse to believe that Pinkie has a skeleton and organs. I always assumed that if you cut her down the middle she'd just be solid Pink. Well, solid-ish. Probably non-Newtonian, non euclidean, and nonsensical, but you know what I mean.
5337286
Clearly she was cake all along.
5337288
Now I want to see a "Cake Knife in Equestria" story.
My first two thoughts...
He didn’t include a cut-a-way of Twilight’s horn? Bummer.
Considering she uses it to spin a lasso, Applejack’s tail must have some pretty wild anatomy.
That is simultaneously morbid, fascinating, a little grotesque with a smidgen of horrifying all rolled into one. The collector in me wants at least one each even though I don't really want any and I don't think I would have a place to put them even if I owned them. *Sigh* thank you for sharing.
For extra morbid, the display box these come in says - for real - "Reveal the magic".

...Huh. Thanks for reporting on this. :D
Oh, and as some other people in the comments have said, congratulations on the follower count. :)

I forgot to mention the sparkly ones! (And yes, there are sparkly ones, though only Fluttershy and Twilight. There's also an ultra-rare Rainbow Dash in a Wonderbolts uniform. Thankfully, that one doesn't also have a glaring eye socket.)
5337275
Valid point. I didn't think of the Ponies: the Galloping cards as pony merch, but they do count. Okay, second bit of personally preferred post-Funko pony paraphernalia.
The Guardians toys were cool, especially Dragonbroforce, but I didn't actually want any.
5337276
Careful. That road leads to Thingpone.
And thanks for the congrats.

This is clearly a case of Pinkie cheating on her medical tests. It's for the doctors' own good.
5337292
Given that the winged figures don't include the feather bones, I imagine the "official" data shows that it's mostly hair. I like the theory that magic allows any fibers to behave as muscle fibers.
5337293
I'll be honest, this is perhaps the only piece of pony merch I would shamelessly display on my desk at work... if I still had a desk at an office rather than working remotely for the last several months.
With three and a half months, maybe you'll hit two-thousand before the end of the year.

"stares at story in utter shock and disbelief"
...........Buh???
That being said, I'm not all that freaked out about these figurines. To be bluntly honest, they're nowhere near as scary as they had the potential of being. Imagine if this guy added blood vessels, exposed eyeballs, and brains to the mix
5337324
Absolutely, but I believe if Hasbro actually wants to sell them and make some decent money, they'll have to tone it down a bit like this. They go all out and common customers will be driven away while the hardcore fans of this genre aren't going to pay more. Not to mention that MLP is a kid's show after all.

True, true "nodnod"
Well, at least he had the good sense not to show the inside of Pinkie's mane. Only incomprehensibility and madness lie within.
Official-official, I like the one rocket toy with Trixie and Starlight. Semi-official, I like the Trixie figurine I think from WeLoveFine
5337318
I always found the toys of that line to be a bit too... Well, toyish, I guess. I was specifically talking about the Fan Series statuettes (1 2 3 for example), all of which look varying degrees of great. Except for the Vinyl one. Still, it's fair if you were never interested in those. Even if I am a bit surprised you wouldn't be interested in the upcoming Sunset figure (and the likely eventual EQG skin-tone variant). Now, if only 4DE had made a Ditzy plush.

Bold of you to assume that the seemingly intact mane you're seeing there isn't an illusion your brain generates to shield you as it fails to process what your human eyes are gazing upon.

The "sparkly" Twilight -- whose official name is "Enchanted" Twilight -- means my headcanon is that the artist is a Monochromatic fan.
Love RD's frowny skull.
Looks like they're cheap enough that I could probably get one, if I can figure out the shipping or see if they'll get imported. Meanwhile, there's also some clothing tied to the merch that you might be interested in: https://mightyjaxx.rocks/blogs/news/my-little-pony-lifestyle-collection-lookbook
All available here, just scroll deep enough: https://mightyjaxx.rocks/collections/lifestyle
Unfortunately I can't say the same about those prices. I'd love the Rarity one, but I doubt I'll spend that much money on it.
I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.
Thanks!

And of course nonstop parties

If Osmosis Jones were set inside Pinkie, it would just be an episode of Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Or possibly Pony Life.

I think he’d get lost in the non-Euclidean geometry
