Well it seems like there will be more MLP Kinder Surprise Egg Figures coming soon! After the regular figures it seems like Kinder will also release MLP Figures with the giant Maxi Eggs. These are much larger versions of the normal ones and because of that they contain larger toys as well. These will be released around Christmas. The Ponies included (so far) Will be Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity. From the pamphlet it seems like Twilight will be released as well. Instead of a brushable tail like the normal ones they will have a molded tail. Kinda nice actually since Ossie and I will probably visit Germany around Christmas.

Enterplay has announced their second wave of My Little Pony Dog Tags on Facebook. The new series will mainly focus on new characters from the latest seasons and episodes, but also contain the regular popular characters like the mane 6 and princesses. Along with new characters you now have a change to get a shaped keychain, molded to the shape of the character's head. Each pack now contains 1 dog tag, 1 foil trading card and 1 foil sticker.
The new dog tag packs will be released on November 20 in the US and Canada. Releases for other countries have not yet been announced.

Instead of our regular weekly poll, we have a special survey in honor of our 50th MLP Merch Poll! In this survey we ask you to let us know what you truly think of our website: What's great and what's not, whether you like the blog, databases or forums, what you think of the layout and everything in between. In total the survey contains 27 questions and will take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

So it's been three days since the Friendship Games Movie premiere. Have you seen it already? We did and I personally thought the movie was great! Perhaps even the best one of the three. I just really enjoy Sunset Shimmer.

And it's already time for a brand new giveaway! We know a lot of people in the US have/had a lot of trouble getting the ponies from the "Lost" Rainbow Power Wave since these were very hard to find and in a lot of cases, not even released. But since not long ago these started to be available in the Netherlands. We decided to buy some of these and give they away. So one lucky winner gets to win these three rare ponies: A Neon Single Holly Dash and Rarity Brushable, and a Applejack Rainbow Power Fashion Style.

It's been a while since we heard anything about all the Funko Rainbow Dash Hikari's. But it seems like a new one has been revealed. We already saw her during the NY Toy Fair this year but now one of the Gradient Rainbow Dash' has been revealed to be a NYCC 2015 (New York Comic Con) Exclusive. Only 600 pieces are made.

The New York Comic Con will be held on the 8th of October until the 11th.

Today Ilona reviews the Funko Pocket POP 3-pack with Discord, Rainbow Dash and Derpy/Muffins. The figures are tiny and very adorable and come in a nicely designed tin case. We got the 3-pack on Amazon for a reasonable $10. You can watch the video on YouTube or embedded below:

Only a few days ago people reported that Sky High released a new blind bag-shaped eraser in stores, and today Toys"R"Us listed this: The MLP Collectable Eraser Play Set. Who knew erasers could form the base of a play set? In this case the set comes with both Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy erasers, a colored fold-out playmat, 16 black & white scenes (for you to color in), 4 markers and 64 stickers.
The set costs $5.99, and that's pretty decent for a set. But if you're looking for the loose erasers you can also try Target or the stationery aisle.
And one free tip from us: Don't use the figures as erasers if you want to keep them as collectables ;)

Last week we asked you whether you were using our MLP Checklist & Wishlist yet, and a lot of you already are! Over 32% replied that they were already using it, and another 18% is either only using a checklist or wishlist. Another close 32% is planning to create a list and only 17% is not interested.
This shows that you were really looking forward to this feature, and we're glad you all like it! For the future we've already planned some improvements, but we'll share more info once it's coming.

Integrity Toys has published a press release announcing their new line of figures called <3 My Little Pony. The dolls are inspired by My Little Pony fans and are designed as humans, in contrast to Equestria Girls, which are a form humanized ponies. The figures are 1/6th scale, which will result in 12" figures and come in a variety of designs, of which a Rainbow Dash male and Twilight Sparkle female have been released as preview images.
The dolls will be released towards the winter of 2015, and towards that release date more information about the figures, retail locations and price will be announced. At this moment you can subscribe to the mailing list of <3 My Little Pony for more information, but rest assured that we will also be sharing news on our blog. You can read the full press release below.
Thanks to Integrity Toys and Jason for sending this in!

2 Days ago WeLoveFine reported that they would reveal the Applejack Chibi Vinyl Figure this Monday. And today is Monday and since today she has been listed for pre-order on the WLF website. She's listed in a separate listing then the other ones and you can order her for $15.00. She will be available on February 9, 2016 which is two months later then the other ones.

Listing: Applejack Chibi Vinyl Figure - $15.00

A little while ago we already spotted a MLP tablet cover for the iPad mini, but now there also is a case for the same device, in the form of a heavy pink Pinkie Pie grip case. The case is made of sturdy rubber and seems to be pretty thick, especially the Pinkie Pie figure. The packaging says its kids-safe, so that will probably mean it can endure a little fall, but you'd have to read the small print to be sure. It fits the first and second generation iPad mini and can be found at Toys"R"Us for $24.99.
Thanks to EclipsedFlame for the info!

For those who haven't joined yet: Our Shadowbolt Giveaway, in which you can win a Twilight Sparkle and Sour Sweet doll is ending in 7 days! Hurry if you want to claim your chance at winning these two amazing dolls! This is what you have to do:

Remember those Gumball Machines we found in May this year? Well it turns out there are a LOT of those. Somebody named Daniel Recently found other ones as Ross as well. We became quite curious because we didn't hear much about these and what brand they are. By doing a lot of research we managed to find a lot of information about them. They are from a brand called: Sweet N Fun who produce a lot of Gumball related goods. Not only MLP but other shows as well. They don't actually only produce Gumball machines it seems. They have a LOT of MLP Merchandise and we decided to bundle it all into one special.

As stated earlier some of these can be found at Ross. We also managed to find some Amazon listings for you as well:

• Sweet N Fun 9 Inch Spiral Gumball Machine - $16.99
• Sweet N Fun Pony Spiral Fun Gumball Bank - $12.52
• Sweet N Fun Pony Gumball Bank - $13.10

Wow that's fast! Yesterday we posted the finding of a Pinkie Pie Blind Bag that came with balloons and today we already found her in her packaging on Ebay! As expected she will be part of the Friendship is Magic Collection. It's unsure what kind of set (Single, Small or Large Story pack) but her product code matches this one on Amazon. She comes with some detachable balloons which you can attach on her tail. A nice "present" outfit and lots of other fun stuff. Gotta love the vector on the packaging.

Let's hope we know more about these soon like official Stock Images on Amazon etc.

It's been a while since we last heard anything from these adorable little Chibi Figures. But it seems like the wait is over as WeLoveFine has posted this small teaser on their Facebook page. I bet we all know who it's going to be judging from the post they also made earlier. Still it will be finally time to see Applejack as a compete figure. I´m really curious how she turns out. Her renders and artwork were already adorable.

So be sure to check back Monday!

Bootleg Brushables and Blind Bags are no surprise to us anymore. We even saw a Bootleg Playset once. But this time we were a bit surprised that this actually exist: A fake Play-Doh Rainbow Dash Style Salon on Taobao. At the first glance you might think it's real but then you look closer:

• The packaging says My Little Horse (Fake, always)
• Play-Doh is now "Play-Toy"
• Apparently Rainbow Dash also decided to coat her body a different color: Pink. 
• The quality is less then the original one.

Still it seems like the quality looks actually good even when it's lesser then the original one. Still it's very weird to see this. I'm curious what the next "fake" merchandise will be. Talking Ponies?

And more exclusive merch has been listed on websites. Even though the Kmart exclusive Flash Sentry Doll has already been spotted in stores. It seems like it has been listed on the Kmart website as well including official Stock Images which is always nice in my opinion.

You can order him here.

And at last we finally hear something again about the Walgreens exclusive Nurse Redheart Ribbon Hair Brushable. It seems like she's finally been listed on the Walgreens website and you can order her now for $4.59. They are also having a current sale that when you buy one you'll get another one fro 50% off. According to the listing she should be available in stores as well. Please let us know if you spotted her. If you take a pic we might make a post about it in the future.

• Nurse Redheart Ribbon Hair Brushable - $4.59

She's already available on Amazon but you can now also order her on the Hot Topic Website. I'm talking about the brand new MLP Yahtzee game. You can order it now for $29.50.

MLP Rainbow Dash Yahtzee Game - $29.50

Take flight with the adventurous Rainbow Dash and America's #1 dice game, Yahtzee! Roll the custom dice (featuring your favorite cutie marks) to land classic combinations like full house, straight, or five of a kind for the high-scoring Yahtzee!

This morning we reported that a Maud Pie blind bag has been spotted on Ebay. There's a high change she's part of the Friendship is Magic Collection. Seems like that's almost a 100% confirmed as she was also listed on Amazon a while ago. She does have the word "doll" behind her name but this was also the case with the first Friendship is Magic Collection Singles.

In addition to Maud Pie it seems like even more FiM collection Blind Bags are starting to appear on both Ebay and Taobao. This time it's especially Taobao as 2 new Pinkie Pie's have been spotted and a Mrs. Cake. It's unsure how they will be packaged but they both look adorable in my opinion. Let's hope more of them will appear soon as well. We will keep you updated.

Thanks to Vinícius for the heads up!

It seems like Maud is very popular. First she had a brushable, then a Funko figure but she now has a blind bag as well as this one has been spotted on Ebay. Its unsure if she's part of a wave or from the Friendship is Magic collection. I bet the last one since she doesn't have her dress. Usually accessories and clothes are molded on when its about Blind Bags from several waves. The FiM collection has removable clothes.

We will keep you updated. Thanks to Violet CLM for the heads up!

Earlier today we posted about the just announced Applejack and Flower Wishes Water Cuties, and the new toyline that this will be released under. The images were too small to read it exactly, but thanks to Entertainment Earth we now know the answer: Explore Equestria!
At the moment it's still a bit vague what the unique feature of this line will be, because the Water Cuties have their regular Cutie Mark Magic styled box and usual Water Cuties bodies.
The Explore Equestria theme has the potential to introduce loads of new toys to My Little Pony, with more vehicles or non-pony characters from around Equestria for example! But for now we'll have to wait for more releases and images before we know the direction of this toyline for sure.
And we can guarantee you one thing: We'll keep you posted!

This information appeared first on MLPMerch.com with image credit to Entertainment Earth.

A few days after the initial release of the Series 3 Funko Mystery Minis in stores, they've now been released online too! Hot Topic listed the exclusive Funko figures online for $8.50 each, without pre-order, so they'll ship directly.
Just to recap, here's a list of figures that are only included in the Hopt Topic exclusive boxes:
- Glow in the Dark Princess Celestia
- Black Maud Pie
- Regular Spike
- Regular Princess Cadance
- Regular Cheese Sandwich
- Black Princess Luna*
- Black Shining Armor*
* Not listed as exclusive on the box, but differs from the regular release

The regular releases do have these figures, but black instead of regular colors or vice versa. Nor is Princess Celestia Glow in the Dark in the regular release.

Today the listing for the Wave 3 Water Cuties Brushables has been updated with images of the two. As you can see Flower Wishes has turned back into an Earth Pony and Applejack is well... Applejack. I think she really looks cool with that translucent orange. The listing states they will be available this October. This also means we're heading into a new main series. As you can see the logo has changed into something saying "... Equestria"

You can find the listing here.

The Build-a-Bear website is having an awesome special again. You can now order two plushies for a total of only $35! This also includes the brand new released Dj Pon-3 and Muffins/Derpy Plush. However not all the plushies are available as Princess Cadance, Zecora and Shining Armor Aren't included. The same goes for the smaller BAB Plushies.

You can see the all the available plush for this special here.

The ponies you can order as part of this special are:

• Applejack
• DJ Pon-3
• Fluttershy
• Muffins
• Pinkie Pie
• Princess Celestia
• Princess Luna
• Rarity
• Trixie Lulamoon
• Twilight Sparkle

 Yesterday we reported that a wingless Princess Celestia Brushable has been spotted. After some closer look several people reported that she actually might be a charm wings pony since you can see the seams and a bit of the hole on her back, if you look good enough. Now at first I thought that the Twilight that was listed as well was just a regular one. But after this I decided to take a good look again. She does have the same seams and hole as the Celestia and the Charm Wings ones.

Does this mean that there will be more Charm Wings Ponies? And could we also expect other characters? This also happened with the Water Cuties Brushables as suddenly a third wave got announced...

We have more comic news for you. Issue #34 of the Friendship is Magic Series has been released. This is also the first of the four issues for the "Siege of the Crystal Empire" Story Arc. There are a total of 5 covers for this issue:

• Cover A by Andy Price
• Subscription Cover by Sara Richard
• RI Cover by Stewart McKenny

Release date will be just in time for Christmas: December 16.

It's holiday time in Equestria and the ponies are ready to celebrate! Join the celebration in this special one shot that shows how different ponies enjoy the festivities!

IDW has released previews of December's solicitations and announced the Friends Forever #23 comic focusing on Applejack and Fluttershy. In this comic the two ponies are camping and will be on the lookout for a rumoured species: the Pigasus!

• She's real and will be released in the future

The Series 3 Funko Mystery Mini figures seem to have been released in the US. Various people have sent in videos and findings, and thanks to Aquatic Neon & brand42 we now also have info about the Hot Topic exclusive figures that will be included in the Series 3 boxes:
- Glow in the Dark Princess Celestia
- Black Maud Pie
- Regular Spike
- Regular Princess Cadance
- Regular Cheese Sandwich
- Black Princess Luna*
- Black Shining Armor*
* Not listed as exclusive on the box, but differs from the regular release

The regular releases do have these figures, but black instead of regular colors or vice versa. Nor is Princess Celestia Glow in the Dark in the regular release.

Last week we asked you which character or figure type Funko should make for their next MLP line. Once again one of the answers took a head start and won with a flawless victory: Sunset Shimmer! She seems to be pretty popular, perhaps due to her recurring appearance in the Equestria Girls movies and merchandise, and won this poll with 41% of the votes. Second place was for an idea that has been going around the MLP community for a while: Equestria Girls POP figures! Matching the usual human-mold of Funko POP figures, the Equestria Girls would fit in perfectly.
Third place was for a Starlight Glimmer figure and the other options ended very low on the list with 6% or less.

A new book has been listed on Amazon and since today it also received a cover. This is the "Make Your Own Pop-Up Book". If you ever wanted to make your own MLP Pop-Up book. Well here's your change! It comes with instructions, stickers, press-out pop-up pieces and many more! You can pre-order it for $14.99 and it will be released on February 2, 2016
