Hallmark is keeping up a tradition to release a new keepsake ornament of a G1 pony every year since 2017. This year is no exception, and they announced the new pony this week: Powder!

People who've been chasing the Natural Series by Pop Mart can soon find them at a western retailer: Entertainment Earth has announced to ship the figures and accepts pre-orders now.

After releasing limited editions of Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle in 2020 it's now time for a limited-run version of the Fluttershy bishoujo statue, which was announced earlier today on Kotobukiya's own Twitter.

And we have some My Little Pony news from Australia. This might be already a bit old perhaps, but we still wanted to report about it since we think it's very interesting nonetheless: A total of three new Retro G1 plushies have been spotted by two different companies. Have all information below.

While we were still posting about the latest G4 items hitting stores in the US and Europe, over in China the first G5 plush are already being posted online. The photos from this post originate from Taobao and their IdleFish "second-hand market" app. A user there apparently got hold of four G5 plush by Just Play, who released plenty of G4 plush in the past.

Time for another store finds post! We're still waiting for detail information on the first batch of G5 figures and merch, but we have plenty of news on G4 releases. This includes updates on both waves of Pony Friends figures, a new line-up of My Little Pony clothes at H&M and a Twilight Sparkle kite!?

If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Aside from all the G5 news, one of our most popular posts from the past months has to be the Pop Mart MLP Natural Series reveal. Personally we were really curious to take a closer look at these new blind boxes from China, from a brand we weren't familiar with. That's why we decided to order some and create a review!

Starting today the Princess Luna bishoujo statue by Kotobukiya can be pre-ordered. She's the first of the two princess to be available, whereas Princess Celestia will follow later. Pre-orders are open in Japan right now, and US-based retailers will follow in the next hours. The release is planned for September 2021.

We have a brand new feature in our database that makes it much easier to send in your photos! The good-old 'Image Missing' placeholder has now been replaced with a button and clicking it opens a short form where you can directly upload photos of your pony. Better yet, if you're on a mobile device you can directly take a photo from there. Aside from picking a photo, you can include your name so that we directly know who to credit for the donated picture.

This is what the button looks like in the database
