History Trivia / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW

* Defictionalization: Pinkie's micro includes a full-blown song sung by Pinkie (of course). Ted Anderson, the issue's writer, actually sought out fan musician David Larsen to compose [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX2yFKElXoA the actual melody]], with Eilamonty providing Pinkie's voice.

** Writer Katie Cook has a Website/{{Twitter}} [[https://twitter.com/katiecandraw account]] and a Website/DeviantArt [[http://katiecandraw.deviantart.com/ page]].

** Thom Zahler (creator of Webcomic/LoveAndCapes and also doing the Twilight Sparkle spotlight issue) seriously pitched ''My Little Pony'' for IDW's Film/MarsAttacks CrossThrough event. The plot would involve Princess Celestia casting a spell to disable the Martian's weapons, causing them to find hilarious new ways to attack ponies only to fail and eventually [[DefeatMeansFriendship learn the magic of friendship]]. The Martians would return to their own dimenision to spread love & tolerance, only to confuse their fellow Martians that didn't visit Equestria. Alas, the CrossThrough came and went, and no ponies...

** [[http://www.ebay.com/itm/321026511386 Unfinished]] [[http://fav.me/d5hrj7k versions]] of page 3 of Issue #1 had the pony [[AnvilOnHead partly under a 100 weight]] use SymbolSwearing instead of saying "OUCH!"

** Same issue, if you think "She'll get rid of them right quick!" is an odd thing for Rainbow Dash to say, this is because Heather Breckel accidentally gave Applejack RD's color scheme (the panel only shows a little bit of her face so it was probably an easy mistake).

* {{Blooper}}: It would seem Andy Price forgot to draw Rainbow Dash's wings a few times in the first issue; on pages 7, 10, and 14 to be precise.

** Editor Bobby Curnow has an IDW Publishing Forum [[http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=12770 thread]] specifically for asking him questions.

* [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Bronies]]: Both Andy Price and Katie Cook had plenty of G4 fanart on their Website/DeviantArt pages before the series was announced, and Katie has said she was a fan of the original G1 series.

** On the first issue's third page, there was [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/332168960/2781664661 originally]] going to be a pony version of SergioAragones among the NoCelebritiesWereHarmed ponies at the mustache kiosk, but Andy Price ran out of room.

* ShoutOut:
** The first issue has a pony [[Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers resembling Matthew Benell.]] [[spoiler:[[FridgeBrilliance Or rather,]] [[TomatoInTheMirror his replicant.]]]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Andy Price originally wanted everything to be hand-done, including the interior colors, similar to how his covers are done. That would have taken far too much time, however, so the interiors are digitally colored.
