Good morning everyone! Both of us are kinda busy these days with work and making video games, so that´s why our responses and postings are a bit late than usual. Anyway not long ago we reported that new Cutie Mark Crew Figures had been listed on Taobao. But now Amazon has already listed the 5-packs for the fourth Series!

Some very big news for the fans of the 35th Anniversary Collector Ponies: Target has listed the Year 2 Earth Ponies and the Year 3 Rainbow Ponies! Although being not available yet it's great to still them still being made after the 35th Anniversary last year. They did change the packaging though as the 35th Anniversary emblem is now gone and replaced with the word "Classic" on the front of the box.

A few days ago we reported about new upcoming Cutie Mark Crew figures appearing on Taobao including Smolder, Lotus Blossum and more. The seller has now listed a new character to join the line: Apple Bloom! And just look at her, doesn't she looks absolutely adorable? That big head and small eyes and her cute little bow!

Nowadays it's getting more and more common to see children walk around with a smartphone. But there's still an age range that's usually not so easily trusted with the latest $999 model. There are still feature phones that are cheaper and have less functions, but there's a tiny niche for children-targeted phones too. In that last category we can now welcome official My Little Pony phones, released in China by The Ore Mouse.

We've reached 2019, and officially the year of 35th Anniversary celebration is over, but apparently Target and Basic Fun have one more ace up their sleeves! In a US Target store a re-release of the second 35th Anniversary wave was spotted, but with a little change: they're non-scented! The original series came with parfumed plastic, though people have complained about the effect this has on the plastic itself. For this release it has been confirmed that it's not just updated packaging: the ponies do not have the same smell as the original figures release in 2018.
This second wave also had a shorter shelve live, as they originally only released in Europe and Australia, so this is an extra chance for people in the US to get their collection of retro ponies complete.
Thanks to pink sprinkle for the info & photos!

We got a lot of reports tonight of a Taobao listings with a lot of new interesting figures.
First of all we get some Cutie Mark Crew figures with real brushable hair. They remind me of the G1 Petite Ponies

After a little break during the holidays we're back with the first Store Finds post of the year! We've got a lot to write about, including the first 2019 sets that are appearing in US stores, but there's plenty more to share with you. We have Silverstream, gift carts, a skating helmet and so much more!
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Let's start the year with some big news: Cheerilee is the next pony at Build-a-Bear. It was a bit quiet around BAB with Sunset Shimmer being released last year. Just like the other ponies she will be released with a cape as well. Although she's listed as non available on the website right now. With the exception of the UK plush + clothes set. But the loose pony is listed as n/a as well... She should be available very soon as we have the listings. But we'll let you know when she is.
Have the listings and other info below!

First of: happy new year everyone! Hope you all had some good holidays and we wish you all a great and healthy 2019.
Over on Taobao it has been a bit quiet with regards to new My Little Pony releases. Though, last week a new set of figures was first found on the Chinese online marketplace, as well as images of the set we were still waiting for: the Pinkie Pie Equestria Girls Doll & Pony set.

Many people around the world are awaiting the release of new characters in the 3rd Cutie Mark Crew blind boxes series, and few have been lucky. Out of the blue we found them laying around at Intertoys, here in The Netherlands! We didn't get to see the series 2 blind figures, and directly jumped to the 3rd series, which is available around the country.
We visited 3 shops in the past week, and in each store we were able to find 5 loose packs (outside of the display box) and bought them all. This way we could get a start on our collection and get a closer look at the packaging they come in.
