Subscribers of our MLP Database newsletter might have seen this surprising release already, but what you might not know yet is that these Tsunameez keychains were found at Hot Topic!

Today we got several reports of a Grubber Plush being spotted on Ebay. Not else was known at the moment like a manufacturer. I decided to do some research and found out there's a very high change he was made by Bandai Namco.
What's very interesting is that besides Grubber, there's apparently a Capper Plush as well and he looks adorable! But of course some of the main cast can't be left behind as well as there's also a Seapony Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. We also see Tempest Shadow who we first thought was actually made by Play-by-Play. However there's still a change that perhaps Bandai Licensed these plush from Play by Play as the regular Mane-Six Plush (which can been seen on their website) shares some similarities with their plush from several years ago.

On their website they sell a lot of arcade-like items like arcade games but also prize items like these plush. So it's very likely you can find these in several claw-machines. Some people already reported finding them inside claw-machines. Perhaps it's time to check out some of your local arcades or fun fairs as well? Let us know if you find any of them!

Around the middle of December we made a massive post on new items that were listed on Amazon, but were not in stock yet. Right at the start of 2018 loads of these items were delivered to Amazon's warehouses and are now available! Not everything is available right away (for example the Applejack keychain), most most of them are.
In addition to these status changes, we also saw two new keychain plush: Cheerilee and Starlight Glimmer! All listings and images can be found below.

Notice we didn't put '& more' in the title? Yes, while everyone is shopping for holiday gifts, the amount of new releases in stores is at an all time low. In the past 2 weeks the below 3 finds have reached us, but hopefully we'll quickly see news on the 2018 merch line!
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Amazon has gone crazy again and listed all kinds of new merchandise. Some of them we've already seen but some of them are brand new as well! Have all the listings and information below. We'll update the post later with more details as we're quite in a hurry this morning. ;)

During the December sale on TeePublic all shirts are once again down to $14 each, which includes all shirts in our MLP Merch Tee Store! Newly added are synthwave/neon version of the four princesses, Tempest Shadow and Rarity! Also available are prints, mugs, sweaters and much more, most of which is on sale too.

Last week we asked you whether you scored any good deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Starting off this poll is a large group of people who didn't look for any during the last days of November. Then, quite disappointing to hear, the second largest group (19%) didn't find anything good. Of those that did get some deals 12% for some items, 9% got loads of stuff and 6% got a single item.

The fourth wave of the All About Brushables has been revealed! First we see that both Fluttershy and Rarity will appear again in this set as well but with alternate designs on the side. We also see that Tempest Shadow will get a single release instead of being part of a larger set. So for those who only want Tempest this is a pretty good thing. And last we see that Photo Finish will be included in this set and I bet that she will be a favorite as this might be perhaps one of the most accurate versions of her being released.

Great news for Tempest Shadow fans out there! This week detailed images of new figures of her have been released: The light-up solo version of her, and an awesome Guardians of Harmony statue together with Twilight Sparkle! At this time we're not aware of any prices or release dates for the figures, but seeing stock photos is usually a sign that a release is not too far away.
