Hasbro has just released their brand toolkits for 2020 including the one for My Little Pony. Not much new items are actually shown but we do get a look at two new items. The Kiss my Unicorn Princess Celestia and the Unicorn Sparkle collection set featuring Dj Pon-3, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie and Twilight Sparkle. What's interesting is how both of these don't feature brushable hair anymore but more show-accurate molded manes. Have all the official info below.

During this years Hasbro Investor presentation Hasbro has revealed the upcoming: "Magical Unicorn" Princess Celestia. It's most likely that this Celestia will be the "big electronic" pony release for this year. According to the presentation you can blow kisses and talk to Celestia, and in return she will talk and her horn will also light up. The name is also used in a listing on a wholesaler website. It's quite strange seeing as Princess Celestia as actually an Alicorn.

More info will probably be revealed later this weekend during the New York Toy Fair, so stay tuned for the latest news!

It's been a while since our latest store finds post! Big reason behind this is the lower amount of merch in stores than ever (at least, based on what we see), but we managed to save up enough recent stuff that it's worthy of a new post.
We've got more Reveal the Magic figures, lots of stuff at Dollar Tree, redesigned Radz figures and more!
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Several days ago pre-orders for the Kotobukiya Bishoujo Rainbow Dash Statue started but we have some more Kotobikuya news for you! On their twitter page they've revealed the colored version for the Applejack Statue which looks really good, but they have also announced a new character to join the line-up: Sunset Shimmer. This is quite interesting as her announcement came quite as a surprise, of course you can't have Equestria Girls/Anthro MLP Character without including Sunset Shimmer in my opnion. This also makes me wonder if they will eventually release other characters as well overtime such as the Princesses, Starlight etc.

More info regarding Sunset Shimmer is coming soon. A painted Rainbow Dash and Applejack will be shown during this years Wonder Festival on the 9th of February.

Plans can change over the time, and we've seen plenty of collectibles and ideas that never made the final cut. On the other end of the spectrum we have Kotobukiya who, after the initial announcement 2 years ago, is still following their steady pace of designing and releasing bishoujo statues based on the Mane 6.
Today they shared tons of photos of the finalized Rainbow Dash statue design, and it's stunning! She's still true to the initial mane 6 concept art and features a tad darker skin color than the other girls and has a very playful and dynamic pose. As with the others there is plenty of detailed designing that got into the statue, and even the pattern on the bottom of the shoes has been thought of. Especially impressive is the hair style and "floating" jacket that Rainbow Dash combines with a white tank top and hot pants.
The pony Rainbow Dash next to the statue is also striking a pose and is ready to fly at any moment. With 3D eye lashes and styled hair the pony got the same level of treatment as her human counterpart. Both are placed on a circular base with a light blue and white cutie mark pattern.
More images of her can be found below.

A new Magazine has been released in Eastern Europe and this time with a new figure. For this issue Rarity will be included wearing her Bridesmaid outfit worn in the Canterlot Wedding Episodes. The figure itself is the same as the first version of her released in 2014, but she now comes with a removable dress and headpiece.

A brand new series of Mash'ems (formerly Fash'ems) has popped-up at Walmart this week, featuring the Student 6. The retail box features a Smolder Mash'em in the display window and contains 12 capsules, which should be enough to get a full set of 6 figures.
Included are at least Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona and Silverstream, together with a mystery figure. By the outline it looks to be Cozy Glow instead of Sandbar. He seems to have been traded with Ocellus compared with the latest Stack'ems set.
Whether this is an early release at Walmart or not is unknown, so far we only heard of this particular find and Walmart as not yet listed them on their website. If anyone else has found these at their local Walmart, please let us know.

Amazon has listed a new interesting item: The Friendship Castle Playset with Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle. People who have been following the G4 line for some time might recognise the castle as the Wedding Castle Playset which was released in 2012. (8 years ago already! Time flies...) with some new stickers.

Now the interesting thing about this release is that it features Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle with their Reboot molds. But as you can see the eye-design for G4.5 is used. This makes us wonder if these molds will still be used overtime or that they are perhaps "leftovers" to be released in a last set before we truly get to the G4.5 design. With the New York Toy Fair around the corner I guess only time will tell.

What started in 2018 as the 35th Anniversary series of retro G1 ponies continues for a 3rd year here in 2020! Over in London at the annual Toy Fair, Basic Fun has shown what new ponies we can expect soon. Shown are Cherries Jubilee, Gusty, Heart Throb, Lickety-Split, Posey, Sparkle and Tootsie.
All originate from the year 3 Earth, Pegasus and Unicorn sets, and features almost the complete line. When comparing those sets and what has been on display the Toy Fair, we're only missing Surprise, Powder and Skyflier. Whether any of these will be included in the wave is yet to be confirmed.
All earth ponies come with a brush, ribbon and mini-post and the ponies in the unicorn & pegasus set receive a comb, ribbon and puffy sticker.
A release date is not yet given, but we expect these to pop up at Target around the end of Q1.
