The celebration of My Little Pony's 40th anniversary is starting to take shape: Hasbro is promoting the celebration actively on social media, and licensees are releasing their retro toys and merch. Today we'll look at what Basic Fun (known from earlier retro G1 ponies) and Loungefly have available.

This morning I stumbled upon quite an interesting piece of upcoming Merchandise, especially those who are fan of the first generation of MLP: New Zealand Mint who is known to release silver coins themed after famous IP's such as Lord of the Rings, Disney etc. has now listed a My Little Pony one!

The coin is made of 1oz of pure silver and features the original six ponies (Blossom, Blue belle, Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, Minty and Snuzzle) in full-color together with the logo and sun. The other side of the coin features a Niue two dollar design together with a portrait of the recently passed Elizabeth II as well as the year 2022. The coin comes protected in a transparant case and is boxed in a high quality packaging featuring Starshine. 

Regardless of the new generation with plenty of toys, merch and content, G4 is still actively promoted in China. Another proof of this is a brand new set of collectible cards that was just released in China by a company called Tala.

We're still not certain on how to continue with the store finds, so we're back with a classic one! This time we have a small selection of very diverse merch, so check them out below.

Thank you for reading our latest MLP store finds post. We want to start with a different note than usual, mainly because we're struggling with the current format of the store finds. These post take up quite some time to prepare and because of that the frequency has decreased from once every two weeks to once a month or less.
We also have quite a busy schedule ahead in our lives which will cause us to have even less time for intensive posts like this. We don't want to move away from sharing the latest store finds, as everytime we asked in the past, you were all positive about the content.
Because of that we're thinking about new ways to share store finds, without the need to invest complete evenings in compiling a post for them. We have some ideas, but would love to hear your thoughts and ideas in the comments. It's much appreciated!

But, for now we'll share the submitted store finds in this post. Enjoy!

Licensed merchandise manufacturer Pyramid America recently announced a new set of framed My Little Pony posters to be released in March, featuring G1 and G4 artwork not frequently used in merch.

The Virtual Running Club, an organization that promotes excercise through virtual runs/races, has announced a special My Little Pony themed challenge event: the My Little Pony Rainbow Retro Challenge, which includes exclusive rewards.

So much to do and so little time! We're back in the new year with more store finds, but we'll keep the writing in this edition a bit short. We still want to get this post out to not let the backlog grow too big and keep you updated on all recent finds!
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

We're back with a filled store finds post! It'll probably be the last one for this year, so we made sure to include ornaments and wrapping paper in this episode. Other finds include Hitch Trailblazer figures, Twinkle-Eyed retro ponies and several older announcements that have been spotted in the wild.

If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Those that are subscribed to our database newsletter might have been surprised by a brand new alicorn figure of Sunny Starscout! And we added her in the other figures database instead of the main figures database, so where is she coming from?
