It's one thing when an adult faces the fact that it's time to put those childhood toys in indefinite storage. It's quite another when the adult crafted an immensely popular television reboot of those toys. Lauren Faust, creator of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, tweeted her preparation of the toys for storage, including pictures of the classic MLP characters who inspired the modern ones.

If you love the Lauren Faust created DC Nation short, Super Best Friends Forever, you're in luck. Although we won't be seeing any more animated shorts (at least anytime soon), DC has made the wise decision to create a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive statue set. USA Today has the rest of the DC con exclusives but we have tunnel vision right now. Take our money. Take it now. The three together will run $49.95 and of course, you'll have to physically be at SDCC or know someone going to get one. Or risk scary Ebay prices after the fact.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic airs a very special episode tomorrow on The Hub in which the lovable and charismatic Twilight Sparkle is changing. To find out how much, we spoke with the talented woman who provides her voice on the series, Tara Strong. Hear what she had to say about Pony fandom, the upcoming Teen Titans Go!, and the one animated venue she'd still love to visit.

Cartoon Network is busy presenting their upcoming roster of shows for advertisers and we've seen some interesting developments. For one, there's an all-new Powerpuff Girls special making its way to the network but Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Green Lantern: The Animated Series, and Young Justice are notably absent. Could this mean what we think it means? It sure can considering two new DC shows are premiering soon.

We've seen John de Lancie do a lot of ridiculous things thanks to his time as Q on Star Trek: The Next Generation but this...this is something to behold. "Let's Go and Meet the Bronies" was written by Lauren Faust, Amy Keating Rogers, and Zachary Lobertini and is part of a larger My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic documentary about the fandom. De Lancie voices Discord on the animated series and star Tara Strong adds her vocal stylings to the mix near the end. My life is better for watching this.

Lauren Faust tweeted this picture last night along with the text "Been missing these ladies lately..." This prompted our fellow ladies in comics blogger Sue from DC Women Kicking Ass to press for more information, and Faust, the showrunner behind My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and The Super Best Friends Forever shorts for the DC Nation hour on Cartoon Network, confirmed the sad news that when DC Nation finally returns from an unexpected hiatus in January, we won't be seeing any more of the SBFF's brand of equal opportunity crime fighting any time soon.

Okay, so I might have given away the ending gag in the title, but the best gag in the short also features someone's end, and I haven't given it away yet, so you should probably just watch the short before I loose my composure. (via Cute Overload.) Previously in Super Best Friends Forever

We've seen Lauren Faust's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic mashed-up with a few of our fandoms previously. For instance, Scott Pilgrim, The Dark Knight, and Game of Thrones. We've also seen a few fan-made clips of the Doctor from Doctor Who as a pony and the David Tennant look-a-like has even made a few cameo appearances on the actual show (his cutie mark is an hour glass). But now...oh, now we have a whole episode featuring Doctor Whooves and his trusty companion. Hungry for more? Check out these My Little Pony figures done up like the cast of the famous sci-fi show while you're waiting for episode 2 to premiere in a few months. Or, as YouTuber ocarinaplaya suggests, make a usable intro for the Doctor Whooves show (there were some rights issues)!

We've seen our fair share of women donning TARDIS dresses but I think this is the first time I've seen a man dressed up as a fancy dress TARDIS. Well, it happened this weekend at C2E2 in Chicago. (via Kate Kotler)

Another month, another of Lauren Faust's Super Best Friends Forever shorts, this one featuring a lot of gifts for the obsessive Batman fan, most of them in Barbara Gordon's bedroom, which features two pieces of Batman wall art, three villain action figures (one of which is, I believe the Scarecrow in the style of The Batman Adventures) a Bat-mite plush and a Batman-head-shaped head board. And also Commissioner Gordon and Poison Ivy!

The first installment of Lauren Faust's Super Best Friends Forever short from Cartoon Network's DC Nation block was universally adored by us here at The Mary Sue. That's why we're SUPER excited to show you a sneak peak at the next installment hitting televisions this weekend. I'm personally bouncing off the walls because this one features Batgirl! Hit the jump to check out the clip plus one from this week's other short, Animal Man!

Lauren Faust's first installment of her short, animated miniseries Super Best Friends Forever premiered on Cartoon Network yesterday during its DC Nation block, and while we've been happy to bring you little bits and pieces of it, we can finally bring you the whole thing! Here it is, and it has that story about sillier versions of the DC comics ladies hijacking Wonder Woman's invisible plane and flying to Mexico that you've always imagined.

We knew Lauren Faust, creator of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, would bring us something wonderful when we first heard she was creating an animated short for the DC Nation programming block of Cartoon Network. Especially considering it features Supergirl, Batgirl, and Wonder Girl. Now we have solid proof. The Super Best Friends Forever short debuts this Saturday morning, sometime during Green Lantern: The Animated Series or Young Justice but you can watch 15 delightful seconds of it here.

The DC Nation programming block that premiered on Cartoon Network last week entertained fans with not only episodes of Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice, but with two entertaining shorts in differing styles. And while we're particularly antsy waiting for Lauren Faust's Super Best Friends Forever short, this weekend we'll see two others. Warner Bros. has given us a sneak-peak at one of them - Baby Superman. It's particularly cute but I have to say, DC Comics should be looking to these shorts on how to widen their audience. Entertaining stories about your characters without relying on continuity or any specific demographic. You can watch the DC Nation block Saturdays at 10AM ET/PT on Cartoon Network. (via Nerdvana)

We here at The Mary Sue are super excited for Lauren Faust's Super Best Friends Forever short in DC Nations' Cartoon Network block. It should be premiering sometime this month and we have a feeling we're going to want to see a lot more than just a short of it. In the meantime, how about checking out this brief video interview with Faust as well as creator Lynell Forestall talking about his Black Lightning short.
