A lot of news has come from China in the past days, and to prevent our blog flooding with smaller posts we're combining them here in this collected blog. We'll take a close look at the new trading cards from Kayou, loads of plush by ReeSee and a collection of blind bag figures from Dinosaw.

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.

A couple of weeks ago we got messages about an eBay listing for a box of Chinese My Little Pony trading cards (thanks Jade!). We've seen them before, but only briefly based on promotional images. It seems that they became available for purchase recently, and the eBay listing was the first (and only?) one online. While the eBay listing was still online (and ended quite high), but we decided to buy them directly from China on AliExpress, which turned out to be much cheaper anyway.
Update: At the bottom of this review we've added images of exclusive cards that are not available in the retail packs we bought.

We've got a US-only post today! As with the past few weeks there's nothing new in the Hasbro-department, so we're looking at various merch items from 3rd parties. As we're heading towards December there's more news from Hallmark, but we talk about a toothbrush and a "cloud" plush.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Most of you will be familiar with the My Little Pony trading cards. They're released internationally by Enterplay, we've seen 4 large series and 2 side series and you may even know that our admin Ilona designed one of the cards.
But what if we told you that not all cards are written in English? And that a special release of the 4th series is available in Poland?

Enterplay teamed up with Media Service Zawada, a Polish distributor, to release a subset of the Series 4 trading cards within Poland. This set does not feature all cards that you might be familiar with, but contains Polish versions of the character, song and location cards. Aside from regular foil cards all other card types and chase version are excluded, which means no FanArts, logic cards or shaped foil cards. In total this leaves 99 cards to collect: 81 regular cards and 18 foils. As with the regular series buying a booster box should guarantee you a complete set of regular cards, but the foils are random.

Booster packs contain 5 cards each: 4 regular cards and 1 guaranteed foil card. FunTat tattoos and stickers are absent in this set too. This does make the card packs relatively cheap with a price tag of only 3.99PLN, which is just over $1. Aside from the loose boosters there's also an album to keep track of your card collection for 29.99PLN (which includes 4 packs) and a complete booster box (24 packs) is available for 94.99PLN. Images of what this all looks like can be found below!

Many thanks to Piro for the information and photos! He also made unpacking videos of the album and booster box (in Polish).

Last week we asked you whether you're excited for the latest addition to the ever expanding MLP blind bags collection: Wave 24. On the top of the list is a huge group (40%) that is very excited for the new set, and other large portions like either most characters (19%) or some of them (18%). Of the more negative votes the biggest group consists of people simply not collection blind bags (16%), leaving only a handful of people who have specific reasons not to like the blind bags.

As soon as Enterplay announced the My Little Pony the Movie trading cards set we ordered a booster box from their store to take a look at all the cards and add them to our database. Luckily enough we got the full base set and quite some neat foil cards!
We've unpacked the booster box in a two-part review (including an overview of all cards) and right after we scanned the cards in and they're now live in the MLP Trading Cards Database.
Below we have a our review, both in text and video formats. Enjoy!
