GalaCon

You thought we were done with big news? Think again! Welcome with us the one and only IDW legend @andypriceart.bsky.social to GalaCon 2025!

More details here: galacon.eu/andy-price/

Want to earn something special? Have a look at a fresh batch of our Steaming Hot buttons! Bring anything Steampunk-inspired and get your very own button when you pick up your badge at GalaCon!

We look forward to seeing all your bronze items and fanciest cosplays!

With all that said, we are super proud to show you a new WIP picture of our enamel pin, as well as the finished 3D printed Canni, which are both part of the Bizaam ticket!

Unfortunately, due to logistical issues, we cannot get the acrylic standees in time, and we apologise for that.
HOWEVER, we have something even better as a replacement goodie for you: an exclusive poster made by one of our Guests! Details will be announced soon!

Today we have a few announcements regarding our higher tier tickets, starting with the fact that Bizaam is 75% sold out!

If you still want Bizaam or Plus tickets, please get them before August 14th, so we can order your goodies in time.

More announcements in the thread below:

Are you not just interested in the show, but also the IDW comics? Then we have a treat for you! Welcome Thom Zahler, a writer and illustrator for the IDW My Little Pony comic series to GalaCon 2025!

Button Your Pony

Buttons are there to express yourself - so why not make your own? @nixenwolf.bsky.social will bring the supplies and knowledge, while all you need is yourself! There will be designs for you to colour in or you can make your own! Be sure to sign up and pay at their booth beforehand.

Stitch by Stitch

Grab a needle and get to stitching! HipsterHoof’s workshop is all about the art of hand embroidery. All you need to bring is creativity, no prior experience is needed! At the end you’ll leave with a handy tote bag - embroidered by you!

Friendship bracelets are magic✨

Izzy’s friendship bracelets look so good on her! And if you want them too you can join @muffinkarton.bsky.social and Wolke! They’ll teach and help you create your very own friendship bracelets. The perfect accessory to make new friends!

How to plush

Have you ever wanted your own little plush pony friend? Then you’re in luck! @melodisde.bsky.social and @straycatcrafts.bsky.social will teach you how to make one in their workshop! For a fee you can choose to sew Rarity or Derpy. But be fast - this workshop is limited to 30 people!

Following in our ongoing series we present you workshops! Everything where you craft, tinker and be creative! You can find those in the thread below:

Plush Making - Behind the Needle

Cars, Bikes and Ponies – Driving is Magic

It is widely accepted that the car has replaced the horse, but that doesn’t mean the two of them cannot be combined. This panel, hosted by Shift, BlueMoon, and Skittles, is about those who love cars, motorbikes, and My Little Pony!

The Online Creator Survival Guide

Are you a creative content creator overwhelmed by the current state of the web? Join artist, streamer, and marketing associate @ninnydraws.com for a “chaotic good” guide on how to both survive and thrive on the difficult-to-navigate modern web!

Aimed at all skill levels, this panel aims to inspire you to dive into your own creative passion project. Join @helmie.bsky.social, @flitterkriz.bsky.social, and @rutkotka.bsky.social as they share their insights, struggles, and experiences with you, with Gaitland Tales as their main example.

Next up on the list are panels from YOU! That’s right, once again we have our very own visitors sharing what they’re passionate about! You can find these panels in the thread below:

Q&A Equestria Girls

The end of Equestria Girls left a lot of questions unanswered, but there is a way to get some closure! Join Katrina Hadley’s panel to ask her about everything EQG without any NDA’s looming overhead! She’d be happy to tell you more about animating in general as well!

Q&A with BigJim:

Do you have any questions about Friendship is Magic that you’re just dying to get an answer to? Well, first off, you will have to stay alive, because only then can you visit Big Jim Miller’s panel about all things MLP, without anyone having to worry about any pesky NDA’s!

Voice Actor Panel:

Do you want to know more about voice acting, or actors' experiences and careers in bringing life to countless characters over the years? Be sure to join us at our voice actor panel, w/ Julia Meynen, Elley-Ray, Rubina Nath and Tabitha St. Germain glad to answer your questions!

YouTube Troubles
