Rarity and Daring Do Funko Prototypes

My Little Pony Monopoly Junior Edition

Winningmoves.de just has tweeted this picture on Twitter. It shows a MLP Monopoly Junior version! We don't have a release date yet, but we hope it will be in 2014!

Thanks to Equestria Daily for the heads up!

Our second video is a unboxing video of 6 new MLP Micro Legends. We personally couldn't wait to unbox these after we've got some amazing pulls from our first 6 'blind balls'! Check it out on YouTube or below!

It's seems that FrontWinner isn't the only company who is taking advantage of the big demand on MLP plushies. A website called OnlyFactory has posted progress pictures of their upcoming unlicensed plushies. The pictures shows the progress of Chinese plush artists on the CMC, DJ-PON3 and Daring Do plushies.
Update: Sweetie Belle picture added

You can see all the pictures below the cut!

Micro Legends Blind Bag MLP Figures

While visiting the Toys XL (Dutch Toys'R'Us) here in the Netherlands. We stumbled upon these thing near the check-out section. These are very small balls from a line called: Micro Legends. They are made by a company called Enertec and also have sell other Micro Legends series like Transformers. You can use the capsule/ball as a display/stand for the pony! These were first shown during the Spielemesse 2014 in Germany but not much was known about these figures.

We have more information and pictures below the cut!

8 Inch Applejack and Rainbow Dash Brushable

Some weeks ago an 8 inch variant of Applejack and Rainbow Dash was found on Taobao. Now we have pictures of them in packaging so they will be available in stores soon! They will probably released this 2014.

Thanks to Hathorcat from the MLP Arena for the heads up!

Yesterday we wrote about 2 new licensed keychains we found on Taobao. A few hours later we saw that a lot more keychains had been listed on Taobao and we put them all together in this post.You can find all the different keychains below the cut!

Lyra Fake Frontwinner Plush

Frontwinner has just added a new Pony Plush to their website. And this time it's Lyra! She looks cute in my opinion and well made, even when these ones are fake. Expect her to be available on Taobao and Ebay soon!

Twilight Sparkle and CMC Keychains

These 2 keychains just appeared on Taobao. They are officially licenced by Hasbro as you can see on the keychain itself. There are 2 designs right now, one with Twilight Sparkle as an Unicorn, and one with the CMC. We don't have more information right now except that they might be from Japan, but we will keep you guys up to date!

Fan Favourite Chrysalis Brushable and Fake Queen Chrysalis Brushable

Some weeks ago we wrote about a strange new Queen Chrysalis Brushable that had appeared on Ebay. There were quite a lot of them listed, and I decided to bid on one, and I managed to get it. So, she came here today and I thought it was fun to write a comparison post about the 2 different queens. Even when I already knew she was a fake. She quite managed to make me laugh...

Our first video is online on YouTube! From now on we'll do a weekly recap of all big MLP merch news of the past week. In our first video we take a look back at the FrontWinner plushies, Daring Do book set, Snowglobe Princesses and more!

Wild Rainbow Scootaloo Brushable

I'm sure you all remember this strange Scootaloo. Now 3377345 from the MLP Arena has found a connection between some of the newly found merchandise. On one of the diaries it says: "Wild Rainbow" there are 2 different versions: One with Rainbow Dash with Tiger Stripes in her hair. And one with Twilight with Leopard/Cheetah Stripes in her hair. By looking at the newly found toys, we see Scootaloo with a tiger striped leg and with Sweetie Belle we have the Leopard one. Also, remember that Design-a-Pony Scootaloo? While it's just speculation. It looks almost clear that Wild Rainbow is gonna be a new theme featuring the Ponies with colorful Wild-Animal patterns!

Thanks again to 3377345 from the MLP Arena for letting us know! Below the cut we have pictures of all the possible Wild Rainbow Toys that have been found!

UPDATE: We've also found a Wild Rainbow Apple Bloom brushable!

Rainbow Rocks doesn't seem to be just a movie with dolls as it's only merchandise. Today this Rainbow Rocks Headphones Set has appeared on Amazon! The headset has the usual bright Rainbow Rocks colors and has a stylized Fluttershy on the sides. It's in stock now and goes for only $20.

Additional product information after the cut!

A new MLP book has popped up on sites like Amazon and MightyApe, sadly without an official cover yet. By it's description it seems like a book version of the episode Winter Wrap Up:

"Join Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and the rest of the ponies as they celebrate the beginning of spring! It's time to clear away the clouds, plant flower seeds, and wake up hibernating critters. Illustrated with charming stills from the hit TV show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"

The book will be release on January 27, 2015 and is now available for pre-order.

Build-a-Bear Trixie, Applejack and Apple Bloom Information

Seems like the Build a Bear Applejack, Apple Bloom and Trixie will arrive in stores 11 July! Jamie Lee has stumbled upon this picture with the release date near her shop and the store manager also confirmed that these 3 will be the ones to be available next!

Thank you very much for letting us know!

A big relief for all Fashion Style collectors: Hasbro made a new Applejack Fashion Style! No longer do we need to hunt down those afwul high priced Applejacks, because for only $16 we can soon get this Applejack Fashion Style, with a brown hat!
We'll also get a Daisy Dreams fashion style with a skirt. As usually the fashion style ponies come loaded with accessories! Applejack and Daisy Dreams are currently listed as 'not available' on the Kmart website.

Photos of the packaging after the cut!

Fake My Little Pony Fashion Style Brushables

And here we have again some weird fakies!This time we have some new Fashion style fakies and fake Fakies with a large Princess mold. The reason that they are fake is because the bodies and wings are much different and their eyes aren't right. For example, if you look at the eyes of Rainbow Dash you can see there's a blue piece in her eye that doesn't seem right. The same happens to other Ponies. Still, it's very interesting to see these new fakies popping up!

Below the cut we have some more fakies and indivual Ponies. Thanks to VioletCLM from the MLP Arena for finding some of them!

Snowglobe Princess Luna in packaging

So this was basically the first thing I saw on Taobao when I woke up. Seems like the Snowglobe Princess Ponies we saw earlier now appeared in their packaging on Taobao! I like the design of the packaging itself, looks very unique!

We have more pictures below the cut!

It couldn't take long until we saw another plush on FrontWinner. Currently they release a new pony plush about each week. This time it's a somewhat less important character in the show, and I didn't expect her showing up. As usual these plushies will fidn their way to eBay, Taobao and Alibaba within a few days. Do keep in mind that these plushies are fake.

Thanks to nogames from the MLParena for the images!

Ponymania Brushables in Box

Fake Blind Bag and Equestria Girls Figure

Something new in the land of fakies! This time we have a 2-pack containing a small Equestria Girls figure and a Blind Bag. Funny note: Seems like the outfit of the EQG figure is based on the one the Super Long Hair Rainbow Dash one has. No brand is known because it only says "My Little Pony Equestria Girls" but they look funny but also hideous.

Thanks to Kamisha from the MLP Arena for the heads up!

Below the cut we have some more versions.

Hasbro POP Ponies

More Hasbro POP Ponies have appeared on Taobao! This time we also see Rarity, Zecora, Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadance and Afro Luna I guess? Some of them look really cute. I like the Rarity!
It seems that this is about it for the first wave of Hasbro POP, if all figures were shown at the New York Toy Fair that is. I wonder how the reception is for these figures, but we'll have to wait a little longer for the official release (no exact date yet, though).

Thanks to Navi from the MLP Arena for the heads up!

The Vinyl Scratch doll wasn't the only new Rainbow Rocks doll, we're also getting a headset Fluttershy doll! For now we have Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity on our blog, and Twilight and Pinkie Pie have been announced back in 2013 already. So we have the complete mane 6 of headset dolls now!
All images after the cut!

DJ-Pon3 Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks Doll

This DJ-Pony doll appeared on Taobao. We don't know when she will be available and in which set she comes. She was shown next to her car during the Toy Fair. But we already had the packaging for this car and that one doesn't come with a doll.

UPDATE: Apparently she was already found 2 days ago, whoops! We've updated this post with all images after the cut. Though, the picture we posted originally is the only one without glasses. :)

Hasbro POP Rainbow Dash Figure

A picture of the Hasbro POP Rainbow Dash has appeared on Taobao. The mane and tail makes it look like she's flying and kind of look like her Rainbow Power design. On the picture from Taobao she has purple wings, but these are probably from the Twilight Sparkle figure.
The Rainbow Dash figure was already presented at the 2013 New York Toy Fair, but at the fair she wasn't posed with her molded mane and tail (but they are visible, as seen in the picture after the cut).

Seems like the snowglobe Ponies are starting to appear on Taobao! Here we have Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. They are gorgeous in my opinion! We still haven't seen Twilight or Cadance it's likely they will appear sooner or later!

Thanks to Navi from the MLP Arena for finding them! Below the cut we have some larger and better pictures!

Twilight Sparkle from the Rainbow Kingdom Castle Playset

A few days ago an image appeared showing a transculent Twilight Sparkle with the playset. Now, TV Toys has uploaded a video describing the whole playset and showing the Twilight that comes will it. And as speculated a few weeks before. It will be indeed the Twilight with the Pink Stars on her leg. Below the cut we have the video explaining the playset and some actual pics of Twilight herself!
UPDATE: Added a picture of the final packaging

IDW has announced the summary and covers of the Friendship is Magic #22 and Friends Forever #8 comics. They will both be released in August.  Friends Forever #8 will also receive a subscription variant, but no cover has been released yet.
All info after the cut!

My Happy Horse So Soft Pony

Well this is something you don't see everyday. Apparently someone thought to make a rip-off So Soft pony and then put her on Taobao. While I do have to admit she looks a lot like the official ones. And she looks cute. They didn't do a bad job with this one. Did I already mention she's an alicorn?

Below the cut we have some more pictures!

A few days ago some detailed pictures were spread of the Photo Finish brushable that comes with the Rainbow Rocks Ponymania doll. Today these pictures were found on Taobao showing the dress that Photo Finish wears! I personally think that the dress makes this brushable complete, and I really like her (especially the cut hair)!
UPDATE: This Photo Finish brushable and doll will most probably be part of the Ponymania series instead of the Rainbow Rocks series!

Sunset Breeze (Left) and Sea Breeze (Right)

Earlier today we posted a post about on the Sunset Breezie that was found, but only hours later Sea Breeze was spotted as well! Sunet Breezie will be packed with a rainbowfied Twilight Sparkle, and the just discovered Sea Breezie will be accompanied by a rainbowfied Fluttershy.
The first time these figures were revealed was at the New York Toy Fair back in February.

After our in-depth article on FrontWinner mass-producing plushies, some artists took note of the practices and got into contact with FrontWinner about their copyright claims.

After the cut we've got the full story with replies from FrontWinner:

Twilight Sparkle Rainbow Kingdom Playset

This picture appeared on the mylittlepony-blog. And as we can see we can see a Transculent Twilight Sparkle Brushable that was found a few months ago on Taobao. So the question is: Is this the Twilight we will get? We have some small speculation under the cut!
UPDATE: There is a video showing the actual Twilight Sparkle figure that comes with the set!

Rainbow Dash Rainbow Rocks Doll

And here's another Equestria Girls Rainbow Dash Rainbow Rocks Doll! Man how many variants are there out there yet? Seems like her outfit is part plastic and part textile. She looks interesting. She's probably connected to the same line as the Applejack and Rarity we found not long ago.

Thanks to the Equestria-Girlss Blogspot for the heads up!

MLP Breezie Figure

We found this one on Taobao yesterday and we found it worth posting. Here's a close-up of one of the Breezie Toys that will come out later. Looks like they have Pinkie Pie's hair mold. I hope they will also release other versions with different manes. She will come together with a rainbowfied Twilight Sparkle brushable.

As seen during the NY Toy Fair

Queen Chrysalis Frontwinner plush

Frontwinner did it again. And this time they released one of my favourite characters. The mighty Queen Chrysalis. Keep an eye out on Ebay and Taobao, because she will appear over there sooner or later!

Thanks to nogames from the MLP Arena for the heads up!

Daring Do Books

A few months ago we posted about the upcoming Daring Do Books. At that time we didn't had a picture yet and a release date. Until now! Above you can see the final product. The product will come with a treasure chest, 3 books, a bookcase (brown book with golden horseshoe) and a golden Daring Do Blind Bag. Not bad!

The price will be $75 for everything you see here, and it will be released on 7 October 2014. You can find the Amazon listing here.

Thanks to Equestria Daily for the heads up!

The last weeks we got a lot of new Chinese 12 inch plushies, recognizable by the green "12 inch" logo they all have on the product image. They're all of amazing quality, but because they are only available on Ebay, Taobao and Alibaba, a lot of people are thinking they are fake.
Well... are they? The answer is pretty clear to us now. We found out the origin of these plushies, and want to share our research with you!

Read our complete research after the cut!

Possible Wave 11 Blind Bags?

Fake Chinese Spike Plush

And here's yet another plush that has been found on Taobao. And this time it's Spike! By the looks of it his looks really good. I'm almost beginning to wonder if these plushies aren't fake at all. But for know he is added to our Chinese Fake Plushy database.

Thanks to Niksilp from the MLP Arena for finding him!

Friends Forever #5 Hastings Variant Cover

We found this cover in an PDF File on google from Hastings. Seems like this will be the Hastings exclusive cover for the Friends Forever #5 comic. This comic is based around Fluttershy and Zecora. We only have the artwork right now. But we will update it when we find the actual cover.
