Equestria Girls proved to be successful to push an impressive amount of merchandise. The film produced three toylines, Equestria Girls, Through the Mirror, and Pinkie Pie's Boutique, though the latter only provided one figure.
Publications
The film also produced a number of publications; on October 1, 2013, a novelization of the film entitled Equestria Girls: Through the Mirror, written by G.M. Berrow, notably featuring a notably different plotline with additional scenes and characters. The first annual by IDW Publishing featured two stories based off the film; both prequels. The first, "The Fall of Sunset Shimmer" starred Sunset Shimmer who was still in Canterlot, while the second story, "Equestria Girls" was about the girls in their first days in high school.
Home media
On August 6, 2013, the film was released on DVD and Blu-Ray by Shout! Factory and has later appeared in the Equestria Girls: Three Movie Gift Set. In 2014, Clear Vision released a DVD in France and Italy[1][2].

Quotes
Notes
- Yet unnamed and alternate identifications:
- Micro Chips: Named in "Best in Show: The Victory Lap"
- Sandalwood: Currently unknown
- Sweet Shoppe: Named in the films' novelization
- Indigo Wreath was identified as the two-legged creature in the novelization, he has yet to receive any other proper identifier
- Teddy was possibly identified as Sir Chance-a-Lot in the novelization.
- While the original students of CHS were said to be original designs, a number of them resemble Friendship is Magic characters to a varying degree. These include Cherry Crash resembling Gilda, Wiz Kid resembling Featherweight and Cloudy Kicks resembling Cloudkicker.
- The backstory with the Equestria Girls being friends as young girls would arguably be contradicted by the comic story "Equestria Girls", published in My Little Pony Annual 2013 in which the art (done by Tony Fleecs) depicted them noticeably older looking in their first meet ups.
- While this could simply be an art error, the other Equestria Girls comic story included in the 2013 annual, "The Fall of Sunset Shimmer" contained its own continuity errors regarding the chronological placement of the films' backstory. Most notably, seemingly portraying Moon Dancer, Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon as adults, and most perplexing of all, Twilight Sparkle as a filly, during Sunset Shimmer's first voyage into the human world, in which she was already a teenager.
- ...This has lead many to view Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry's relationship as, umm, extremely creepy as it would imply she would be at least 30 while he was around 15 to 17 at his oldest.
- ......Likewise, the closest thing to a canon age Twilight Sparkle has ever been given was promotional material for My Little Pony: 20/20 stating that the Sonic Rainboom incident happened 20 years in the past, c. early post-Storm War Equestria. Even at low-end estimations of the passage of time between season 4 and 8, this could put Twilight in her early 20s while she was romantically involved with a high schooler.

- Up until the 2017 film, Equestria Girls was informally known as the My Little Pony movie, given how it was promoted in its early days, before being considered a backdoor pilot for the Equestria Girls branding.
