  1. # # Toola Roola will be minor character, playing the role of a passionate, but slightly agoraphobic artist who simply can't figure out how to make friends instead of acquaintances.

    1. @adrianbrony will Firefly in G4 season2?

      Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:07:19 UTC from web
      1. @sparkyvelt You know, that's likely, especially as Rainbow Dash's mother, considering that G1 Twilight showed up as Twilight Sparkle's mother...

        1. @starshine hmm, I didn't know that. Gotta search more about pony relationships and trivias

      2. @sparkyvelt hasbro doesn't have the rights to her anymore. the only G1 character they own is applejack... and spike.

        1. @adrianbrony They used Moondancer's name, and Twilight's likeness.

        2. @adrianbrony I've heard that from time to time. I've always wondered in Hasbro doesn't own the rights then who does?

          Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:11:03 UTC from web
          1. @celestiaforequestria probably the individual who designed them.

        3. @adrianbrony orly?

          Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:12:07 UTC from web
        4. @adrianbrony if they don't own the rights, then who does? I'm not sure I understand how all this works. does it go to the actual creators? or does it just become public domain?

          Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:12:16 UTC from web
          1. @nightwillow all I know is along they way they somehow lost all the rights to the G1 characters except for applejack. Faust said that's why FiM didn't use the G1 cast.

            1. @adrianbrony which is probably a good thing

              Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:14:44 UTC from web
            2. @adrianbrony What I heard was something along the lines of Hasbro didn't renew the rights because some of the names were fairly generic.

              Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:14:48 UTC from web
              1. @shelltoon yeah that sounds about right. so the rights probably defaulted to the creator or something.

                1. @adrianbrony at least we can still buy those ponies...

                  Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:18:27 UTC from web
                  1. @sparkyvelt the G1 characters? yeah, vintage you can.

                    Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:21:55 UTC from web
                    1. @adrianbrony awsome

                      Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:23:27 UTC from web
                      1. @sparkyvelt but not from hasbro. you have to buy them from collectors or re sellers.

                        1. http://mlpland.com/?l=2&p=bekijk_pony&id=812 SHOO BE DOO! SHOO-SHOO BE DOO!

                          1. @shelltoon Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

                            Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:27:47 UTC from web
          2. @nightwillow the question is how do they make pony toys without rights...

            Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:13:43 UTC from web
            1. @sparkyvelt they don't make any G1 character toys anymore... the current toys are characters they own the rights to.

              1. @adrianbrony mlp business is kinda messy...

                Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:25:23 UTC from web
                1. @sparkyvelt that's intellectual property for you. you can own the franchise but not the characters.

                  Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:27:41 UTC from web
                  1. @adrianbrony then that means lauren faust has the right of mlp?

                    Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:28:41 UTC from web
                    1. @sparkyvelt no, Faust does not. Hasbro bought the rights of anything she made for the purposes of the franchise. that's generally how it goes.

                      1. @adrianbrony what an unfair world we living now!

                        Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:32:26 UTC from web
                        1. @sparkyvelt it's far from unfair... they BOUGHT the rights to the characters.

                          Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:33:46 UTC from web
                          1. @adrianbrony that makes sence

                            Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:35:19 UTC from web
                        2. @sparkyvelt *activates Steven Magnet mode* What a world, what a world!

                          Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:34:25 UTC from web
                          1. @starshine Steve Magnet mode - my mustach!

                            1. @sparkyvelt oohoohoo!~

                              Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:37:40 UTC from web
                  2. @adrianbrony I mean, you can own both but it's possible to lose the rights to individual characters or aspects.

                    Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:28:58 UTC from web
    2. @adrianbrony I wonder if the name Toola Roola had anything to do with the song Come On Eileen?

      Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:19:32 UTC from web
      1. http://mlpland.com/?l=2&p=bekijk_pony&id=577 << Aside from a difference in species and cutie mark, this bears a striking resemblance to Rainbow Dash!

        Sunday, 17-Jul-11 07:21:38 UTC from web
        1. @shelltoon is that supposed to be toola roola or...? I was under the impression she was G3
