MLP Friendship is Magic - Fan Design Voting....The Results!
We are really pleased to be able to announce the winners of our first ever My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan design competition!
We had a massive response, so thanks very much to everyone who visited the blog and voted for their favourites. The entries were all really strong and every single design got a lot of love from fellow Bronies, but there can only be just three winners and I'm here to reveal the favourites! We are hoping to be able to get these three amazing My Little Pony T-Shirts on the site as soon as possible so keep your eyes peeled for them by the end of the month. Exciting!
First Place - DeathPwny
Massive congratulations to Nikita, also known as DeathPwny, for coming in first place! This simple and classic design featuring the ever bubbly Pinkie Pie really caught your attention and will give you the opportunity to carry her in your pocket where ever you go.
Nikita is a proficient artist with a Deviantart full to bursting with unique Friendship is Magic illustrations, check out some more of his work here http://deathpwny.deviantart.com/
Second Place - Anna KotrasiÅska
The TruffleShuffle 'Book'et List
We recently ran a literature themed Friday Competition on our Facebookpage to celebrate the arrival of our new Out Of Print T-Shirtsand the response we got was amazing. The question was....
âIf you could create a film from any book that hasn't already had one made, what would it be and WHY?'
We had hundreds of suggestions: some old, some new and some a little strange â The Dictionary and The Phone Book?!! Us bookworms couldn't let this fantastic opportunity go to waste and so we decided to create our very own TruffleShuffle Reading List and thought we would share it with you.
We have something for everyone â funny, sad, horror, thriller, fairy-tale; sadly, we couldn't list them all but there were some firm favourites suggested numerous times and some great write ups, see if any take your fancy!
See if yours made the must read list and see what others have to suggest, our Kindles are now fully loaded with literary delights! :-)
With 9 mentions the book that came out top (and we can't believe we haven't read!) is:
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 55!
Hot diggidy! Itâs only the weekend!
So on a desert island in the middle of nowhere under one lonely palm tree let us be your storm beaten stranded survivor as we try and build for you a raft of retro movie magic, forage for cinematic awesomeness and crack coconuts for celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend :-)
SATURDAY 1st June
Junior (1994) Sky Movies Comedy 12:50pm-2:45pm (1 hour 55 minutes)
A fertility expert pioneers a treatment enabling men to become pregnant and carry babies to full term. When the authorities cancel funding for the research, he decides to test it on himself, but gives little thought to how difficult it will be to keep it a secret. The situation is further complicated when he starts to fall for the woman whose child he is carrying. Comedy, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, Emma Thompson and Frank Langella
Autobots Get a Makeover for Transformers 4!
Great news for all you Transformer fans!
The epic Michael Bay movie series is set to hit our screens once again with number 4 next year (June 29, 2014), but this time the bots have been give more than a lick of paint!
Each character as been given an amazing 'transformation' - see what we did, and are looking as ready for business as ever with some million dollar exotics taking the stage and some classic American muscle to back them up.
True hero of the Primes, Optimus will be taking on a slightly more modern look with this custom-built Western Star truck that still adorns the classic flame decals for his iconic look. It was thought that his older look was slightly dated for the new flick but what do you think?
As for the rest of the crew, Bumblebee has taken a look from the past and will now be rocking a classic 1967 Camaro in his signature black and yellow uniform. A slighly older cool look, we love this as it reminds us of some amazing car scenes in classic 70s films. Take a peep!

Let your dad know he's your.... Superhero!
Superheroes, believe it or not don't get their special powers from wearing TruffleShuffle Superhero T-Shirts. Most get their powers in some unlikely ways. Peter Parker, was changed into Spider Man by the bite of a radioactive spider. Bruce Banner became the hulk after standing too close to a nuclear explosion. Some, get their powers via technology: Iron Man has powered armor & Batman has a host of cool gadgets. Dads have had to learn, improve and hone their very own super powers to deal with all that fatherhood has to throw at them. So, why not treat your very own superhero to one of our specially-picked fathers day gifts?
Is your dad agile, fearless but a bit rash at times? Does he sometimes come across as immature? If you can put this down to a youthful outlook on life he sounds like he may well be your very own personal Peter Parker. We definitely have some fab Spiderman T-Shirts to satisfy your webtastic wannabe!
