Yes, after monthly roundups, it's time to move on to seasonal roundups. Such is the pre-hiatus. Let's get up to speed with all that's happened since our last post.
Do you remember this character from the last trailer who didn't match any of the Filly kinds which had toy sites?

| "Al the Angelcorn", as popularly dubbed. |

Looks like the mystery might be solved! The enterprising folks at
Fillychan have dug up some information about the Filly Angels.

It's a taobao prototype, and it appears to be pretty similar to Al! They've both got feathery wings, and star crowns. But it's not the first time we've seen these "angel fillies" with angel-like wings and star crowns, they've appeared a few times in the world of Filly before.
So far, we haven't seen Al himself in one of the toys though.
And it looks like they were called angels, too! Maybe we'll see more of them in the show? Lastly, there seems to have been one more example of "alicorn-like" Fillies with feathery wings from Filly Beach Party. (That's the line which has the toy site that went defunct last year.)

And now, for some news.
There's an article by
Rapid TV News. It's not very long, but it does seem to imply that Filly Funtasia will air on TVE's children's channel in Spain. If so, it would be the first confirmed channel for Filly Funtasia.
There's another one by
Toy News. Nothing new in it, but it does confirm that they still have a very positive outlook on Filly Funtasia's future.
Lastly, there's one by
ttv news which confirms that there was no new Filly Funtasia preview for NATPE Europe. A few previews for other BRB shows did appear on WorldScreen, though.
But there was a new
BRB compilation video which included an updated version of a shot from the first trailer!

Looks like they're still updating the textures and whatnot! It shows that we can't assume that anything we've seen in the trailers so far is the final version.
