Big Surprise: Hasbro Releases New Wave of Blind Bags
A big surprise this week from Hasbro with the release of a new wave of blind bags! Last year we thought it was game over for the classic blind bag waves with the continuous release of Cutie Mark Crew figures, but this turns out the be just a pause.
This week an images was shared on Instagram showing two well-known blind bag ponies with new cards attached. As far as we can tell the ponies in this wave are all re-releases from earlier transparent lines, like Wave 14, 16 and 17, with one exception: Rainbow Smile. A trademarked name we couldn't find a reference to anywhere else, and judging by the name, color and pose it could be a new name for Rainbowshine.
All figures come with a fully transparent body, no painted mane/tail and no added glitter. Though, there seems to be some color variations from the earlier releases, and we spot usage of the new eye designs from later waves.
The figures were found in Mexico, and we didn't see them at the NY Toy Fair this year or last year. This raises the question whether the new wave (technically #25 if we exclude Best Gift Ever) is a worldwide release, or of this wave will only see specific countries. Still, if that latter is the case, they could still end up in discount stores like the budget EqG dolls.

MLP New Blind Bags
And again a lot of new Blind Bags have appeared on Taobao. (older post here and here) And quite some nice and interesting ones. As always I tried to match them up with their show-counterparts since I love to do so. One thing I figured is that these are almost all from the "Green Isn't Your Color" Episode" and or from Manehattan episodes which brings us closer to the conclusion that we might expect the Rarity FiM Collection soon. I'm also beginning to wonder if these are chase figures for the next waves or that a whole wave will consist of these...

Have them all below!
