One of the more popular figures to be released last year was Pop Mart's Natural Series. We even reviewed some of them ourselves and really enjoyed them! Turns out that a new series will be released very, very soon!

According to Pop Mart's official WeChat, the 28th of January will be the release date of the brand new Leisure Afternoon Series. This time the members of the Mane Six are displayed enjoying relaxing drinks and treats. This time all of the Mane Six will receive two figures and the chase figure for this series is Princess Cadance. 

Starting January 28 they will be available at Popmart local stores and Tmall shops in China, or the official store on AliExpress which also means they should be able to order internationally. One box will cost about 12 USD with the full set being 130 USD.

Have all the images from the WeChat below. Many thanks to RDB for the heads up!

A couple of days ago we posted about Chinese company Bloks that released a line of licensed My Little Pony building block sets. We saw a lot of positive response, and are happy to let you know that we received photos from the actual Castle of Friendship set that we can share with you! Now we also get a better look at what this set contains, together with a good look at the included figures.

Every since the start of G4 people have been wondering if we were every going to see My Little Pony building brick sets. Aside from some bootleg products the (failed) K'NEX/Tinkertoy sets were the closest we got to that wish.

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.

Toy Wholesaler ABGee has listed a brand new Sunny Starscout plush made by Flair. But she isn't your ordinary plush. She has the ability to glow in the dark when she's in the light for long enough, and also plays sounds from the movie. She will retail for £19.99 pounds. The listing can be found here.

However, something else has also caught my attention and that's the description they included with this listing: 

Slowly but steady new merch for the upcoming spring line-up for 2022 is being spotted online. This morning we can add some new toys to that list as an  Indonesian website named Ruparupa has listed new Crystal-themed singles.

This release includes 2-inch singles of the five main ponies for G5, that being Hitch, Izzy, Pipp, Sunny and Zipp. From the look of it they seem to be made of one solid piece of translucent plastic with no signs of articulation. (If I'm right) The packaging is also quite interesting to see as you can't see the figure itself but they actually included a render on the front which also serves to show the actual size of the figure. The packaging also states the packaging is completely plastic-free (aside from tape and glue) which, in my opinion, is a huge plus in my book. However it's a bit dull to display them in packaging like this am I right?

According to the listing they are Rp 39.900 each which is about $3 USD so it's likely these are just some kind of budget release. No word yet when they will appear in other countries but let us know if you spot them! 

Thanks to June | red01 for the heads up!

We've seen combinations of G4 and G5 ponies with the Secret Rings, Favorites Together and Friendship Shine Collection and we're not done with the generation crossover releases! Over on Instagram horizonstudioproductions shared a sneak peak of an upcoming set called "Sparking Generations" that features brushables of both Sunny Starscout and Twilight Sparkle.

Over on the social media channels of KFC Indonesia three images have been shared to tease an upcoming range of My Little Pony: A New Generation toys to be released in their kids meals.

It's that time of the year again where we slowly by steady see new toys appearing. Amazon.com has now listed two new sets: The Royal Room Reveal set with Pipp, which we already spotted a few weeks ago. And a new version of Sunny with her being an Alicorn for this release.

The Royal Room Reveal set features Pipp Petals in her room. Included is a small brush which you can use to paint with water on several surfaces of the playset, doing so will reveal a nice looking design. Included are also several cute accessories like a Pipp Plush(?), several streamer/gamer related items and stickers. This set is listed for $15.99 and will be available January 1st, 2022.

The second set is a new Crystal Adventure release and this time as stated on the box as well, she's an Alicorn. She comes with several accessories and stickers including some to decorate an included bracelet with. This set is listed for $8.49 USD and will also be available. January 1st.
