We have a very clear winner this week! We asked you which pony you'd like to see in Cutie Mark Magic style, and over 42% of the votes went do Derpy! Princess Luna outshines her sister Celestia with 23.8% vs 5.1%, Trixie got 12.3% of the votes and Lyra got 7%.

A very beautiful and unusual find in Taobao today: Not only did we finally find images of the Fashion Style Cutie Mark Magic Twilight Sparkle pony, but also from Princess Celestia! In our recent post on upcoming Cutie Mark Magic Fashion Style brushables we did not even expect to see one!
However, these two seem to be a bit out of style as they are not like the other Cutie Mark Magic brushables out there, and neither do they have the same style as the Sunset Shimmer and Princess Cadance fashion styles. Instead of multiple cutie marks Celestia and Twilight seem to be decorated with light floral patterns on their hoofs and eyes and glittered wings. The hair of these fashion styles contains tinsel.
Therefor it's not 100% sure whether these will be release under the Cutie Mark Magic series or another side-series, such as another store-exclusive line.
We expect to see their matching outfit/packaging as soon as other sites (like Amazon) list the final images.

G.M. Berrow, writer of the Daring Do Adventure Collection has shared some exclusive artwork from the upcoming collection on her Twitter. On the images we can see Daring Do in the middle of 3 adventures she will be on in the 624-pages thick bookset.
The book itself will be out in just over a week, on the 7th of October. This time Amazon actually does not have pre-orders available yet, but Walmart has, and even at a huge 37% discount for $47.44 ($75 after the release).

The book 'Fluttershy's Big Show' that has been on Amazon for a long time finally recieved a cover on the website of Australian Toystore MightyApe. In addition to the earlier "Dress-Up" note on Amazon, the cover reveals that the book comes with 3 hair extensions that you can wear yourself. Both sites release the book on March 24, 2015, but MightyApe charges about twice as much as Amazon, so be aware of that when placing your pre-orders!

It seems that Toys"R"Us UK listed the new Rainbow Power Fashion Style Applejack and Daisy Dreams brushables as available on their website. And after using their availability checker it seems that some stores also have stock on these right now. We advice you to use the checker before running to your local stores, as most stores have no stock at all right now. They're being sold for £11.24 ($18), which seems pretty average.

The next series of Styling Size (a.k.a. Zillas) brushables have been spotted at an Australian Kmart.
Styling Size ponies are 8 inches (20 cm) tall, which make it easier to style their hair. They come in a simple, open packaging and their only accessory used to be a comb. This series also comes with stickers and pencils, whereas the older series did not. This is also the first Styling Size release of Rainbow Dash and Applejack. And soon we'll also be able to welcome Princess Celestia and a few more ponies to the list of Styling Size characters.
Kmart Australia sells these for $A25 ($22), which is pretty steep compared to the price of $10.99 that the old series goes for in the US (pretty expensive stickers, eh?).
Thanks to prancingstag for the images!

It's about two months until the advent starts, so perfect timing for new calendars! This calendar was spotted on Amazon UK and contains small chocolates and comes with an unknown exclusive keyring and is being produced by Bonbon Buddies. The cover features Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie in winter clothing and there is some weird button on the top of the photo, which looks like some OC pony. Right now Amazon only has 2 in stock, but it's to be expected that these pop up in stores fairly soon. The Amazon price of £6.99 equals to about $11.40 or €9.
UPDATE: Apparently the Amazon overcharges, as these can be found for £1 in pound stores. (Thanks to the anonymous commenter)

We stumbled upon these when we were shopping in our local mall. We found these at a toy store called Bart Smit. The official name of this set is called the "Pony Scooter Friends Set" and it features Rarity and Daisy Dreams together with scooters. Something interesting is that this set was released as a Toys'R'Us exclusive in 2012 so it's quite strange to see it appear here now. It was spotted here before but it was some months ago for a very short time at Kruidvat. We also checked out the Production code and it says it's produced in 2014 so do we all get a re-release here in the Netherlands? (and possibly Europe as well?)

So right now the Blokker and Bart Smit sell this set for 20 euros here right now in the Netherlands.

The Gulf version of the Build-a-Bear Facebook has posted images of the upcoming Princess Celestia Build-a-Bear Plush. As you can see she will come with a crown, necklace and dress and some shoes.

We don't know much yet about the release date. The description on their Facebook says: "Princess Celestia is all set to enjoy this weekend :D " Does that mean she will be already out this weekend? Some people say that they already got her but we're not sure ab out that either.  Somebody Else's says that he heard it will be November/December for the US, anyway it's all confusing at the moment. But we hope we can give you the exact same as soon as possible. )

The second half of Wave 10 blind bags have been spotted in the UK. This is the part of the set that contains Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Lotus Blossom, Snips & Snails and a few more ponies, that were available in Wave 10 but not in Wave 10A.
Note: The front of both Wave 10A and 10B are exactly the same. Pay attention to the back where the 12 ponies are listed, since this is the easiest to spot difference between the two sets.
We've also added Wave 10B to our Blind Bag Database with all the codes of the set. If you want to learn more about how you can use the blind bag codes, please read our guide: How To Use MLP Blind Bag Codes (Blind Bag Cheats).
Thanks to Alistair ("Luna's Accountant") for the info!

After Asia and the United States the Rainbow Shimmer princesses are now out in the UK as well. These have been spotted at The Entertainer in Manchester and were available for £8. However, just like the first find in the US, The Entertainer also reported that they weren't officially in their system yet.
Thanks to Matt for the image and info!

Today these new fake plushies have been spotted on Taobao, closely resembling the designs of Ty Beanie plushies. The plushies come in 4 colors, but all of them are alicorns with Pinkie Pie's cutie mark. The quality seems a bit low, especially when we look at the orange one. All of them have short curly hair (which doesn't really fit) in either brown or pink. According to their listing they are 7 inches tall and they come with a tag that I'm not familiar with (possibly a fake Chinese brand tag).
Which color is your favourite? Let us know in the comments :)

The new Cutie Mark Magic line hasn't even been released yet, but the first fakie already surfaced on eBay this week! The fake pony is a light blue unicorn with red and green hair with tinsel. The body has been decorated with what looks like the Cutie Mark Magic Applejack design, however, this pony also has her front leg covered in cutie marks, while the official Cutie Mark Magic brushables don't.

It's been a while since we last reported on the Hooray for Spring book, but as of today the official cover art has been released! Over on Amazon the listing now shows the cover with the mane 6 in their Winter Wrap Up clothing in a beautiful spring scene. The release date is still set for January 27, 2015 and the pre-order price is $3.74 ($4.99 after pre-order).

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!

After the short Rainbow Rocks commercial from earlier this month, Hasbro has now released a 30 second commercial as well. This commercial features a lot of scenes from the Rainbow Rocks part 2 video combined with images of the dolls. In contrast to the earlier, shorter commercial this video does not only promote the singing Twilight Sparkle and Adagio Dazzle, but also the stage and neon singles. You can either watch the video below or in our updated MLP Commercial Database.

And something new popped up on Taobao! This time it is a Styling Size Princess Celestia. They are also called Zilla's sometimes and they are 8 inches high. She already had a listing on Amazon so we hope to get pictures of her in the packaging soon!

Amazon Item description

- My Little Pony figure looks like Princess Celestia
- Figure is 8 inches tall
- Includes comb and tiara
- Includes pony figure, tiara and comb

 Your Princess Celestia pony is a magical and beautiful pony, and this 8-inch figure looks just like her! She's got beautiful hair that only you can style with the included comb, and a tiara to crown her with like the princess she is. Friendship and magic meet when you and your Princess Celestia figure go on adventures together! My Little Pony and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

The wait is finally over. For those who are looking for the Wave 11 Blind Bags, they have been found at Walmart! It's not sure if  every Walmart has them already so the best is too perhaps inform first. But they will finally start to appear in stores!

Thanks to Niksilp for the heads up and the pictures!

Want the codes? We have them all here!

At the moment Woot! Is selling 4 different Pony watches right now. Some of you may have seen them before, others don't. (Honestly I don't remember these, or do I?) Right now they have 4 designs available for sale right now. The normal Rainbow Dash one is listed for $17.99 and the 3 with the lightning bolt design currently have a 68% off List Price sale and are $12.99 each right now.

We have the listings below together with some product information.

According to Licensemag, Shwings and Things has signed a deal with Hasbro to produce MLP Themed Shoe Accessories. These are parts you can attach to your shoe and decorate them. Right now they only have the three most "popular" ponies from the series but there are plans to include more characters in the future.

As an expansion to our Blind Bag Database we are currently still looking for a few blind bag card scans. Do you have one or multiple blind bag cards listed below, and can you scan them for us (front and back)? Then don't hesitate to send them to us, thank you!

This is the first poll that actually has a very close winner and 2nd place! In MLP Merch Poll #3 we asked you which plush manufacturer your favourite is, and the winner with 34.9% is Build-a-Bear! The second place with 31.6% of the votes goes to 4th Dimension Entertainment (4DE) and then there's a big gap until we find 3rd place: TY with 11.4%. Below that are Funrise (10%), Aurora (9.7%), Nici (1.7%) and Famosa is last with 0.7% of the votes.

Only 2 weeks after the cover release of Adventures in Friendship Volume 1, Volume 2 has already been announced, including its cover! The compilation comic book will once again focus on 2 ponies, this time being Pinkie Pie and Applejack with both their Micro Series comics (#5 and #6) and their joint adventure in Friends Forever #1. People interested in buying this comic will have to wait until March 3, 2015. And just like volume 1, this volume will also be available for $8.99.

This week Kmart (and also Sears) released a new line of My Little Pony Costumes for kids: The Equestria Girls outfits from the show (they call it Equestrian Classic). So far Fluttershy, Twilight and Pinkie Pie have been found, but it's unknown right now whether Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack have been released as well. On the Kmart site only Pinkie Pie is listed for $21.59 ($29.99 outside the sale). The set includes a dress and headband, while Fluttershy and Twilight also have their wings.
Thanks to EclipsedFlame for the info!

A few weeks ago we wrote a special about all of the current and upcoming merchandise from Tech 4 Kids. It seems like the Rainbow Dash Spot lite Soft Lite has now been found at TRU for $10.99. This lamp is made from some soft plastic and when you press her hoof she will start to light up, it will automatically turn off after 10 minutes.

Can you handle EVEN more merch? We already reported on 6 new Cutie Mark Magic POP ponies, but we found 2 more! Princess Twilight Sparkle will come as a Wings Kit featuring 3 sets of wings, and Princess Celestia will be a POP Design-a-Pony with a marker, crown, felt hair and brushable hair. Just like Fluttershy and other Design-a-Pony figures, some of the markings are permanent, in contrast to the stickers of other POP ponies.
As with the other merch, we only have the images available now, no prices or release dates yet. As soon as we know more we'll post about it!

 That was fast! After we found images of the Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy Charm Wings Brushables, we now have found images of Honey Rays as well! Yay, a new character! She also appeared as a Blind Bag in Wave 9. Like the other 2, you can swap the charms she has on her wings.

If all the awesome finds of today are not enough for you yet, we'll also got images of new Hasbro POP Ponies for you! We've heard of these Cutie Mark Magic POP ponies a little ago, but this is the first time we see actual images of them, with some interesting ponies! One of the biggest changes is the first release of POP ponies with brushable hair. A few of these will only have a brushable tail, others will have a brushable mane as well. We also got special Wings Kits of Spitfire and Princess Cadance (it totally doesn't suit Spitfire!) and POP Design-a-Pony Fluttershy. Fluttershy also seems to be larger than the other ponies, but is not listed as one of the 5" Fashion POP ponies. You can find all info and images below, and let us know in the comments what you think of these designs!

Again we got some images of newly announced merch! This time we have found the images of the upcoming Sunset Shimmer and Princess Cadance Fashion Style Ponies. Each comes with some accessories, friendship charms and more! We have found no image of the Coco Pommel and Pinkie Pie one but expect them all soon!

Not long ago it was revealed that their would be 2 Equestria Girls Set featuring Twilight and her dog Spike and Pinkie Pie with Gummy. We got some images now! It seems like this set is themed after sleepwear because of the outfits. The figures of Spike and Gummy look really adorable. Also a funny note, it seems like Gummy is called "Gummy Snap"

No release date yet. But we will let you know when we find more.

Remember our Toys"R"Us order from yesterday? Well here is a review about the Zecora POP Pony that came with the order in both text and video, which you can view either on YouTube, or the embedded video below. Enjoy!

And as an extra treat next to the Friendship is Magic #26 and Friends Forever #12 comics, IDW also announced an Equestria Girls Holiday Special comic for December! Especially interesting is the fact that this comic will focus on Sunset Shimmer and that Twilight Sparkle is not on the cover (she might be in Ponyville at the time of this story). Instead of the regular $3.99 per comic this special is $7.99, so expect more pages than usual!

 Next to the Friendship is Magic #26 comic, PreviewsWorld has also listed the Friends Forever #12 comic from IDW. The story will be centered around Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle, and of course contains covers to showcase the two ponies. So far the regular and subscription cover are available, and we'll post it as soon as we find more covers!

As every month, PreviewsWorld has listed the upcoming comics from IDW, including the Friendship is Magic #26 comic. The cover features the mane 6 in western style and Applejack centered who, according to the description, will be a sheriff in this comic! The comic will be available on December 10, 2014 and we'll make sure to post new covers once they are released!

It's been a while since we've seen these 4DE plushies, but they're now available for pre-order at Midtown Comics! Since we already found them via Previews World, it's to be expected that many other comic and import toy stores will also put these up for pre-order soon. The new 4DE plushies will be Applejack, Derpy (named Best Pony), Dr. Hooves, Fluttershy, Princess Luna, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Trixie. Currently missing from the pre-orders are Princess Celestia and future Twilight Sparkle, but they might appear soon. Regular prices for these plushies are $24.95 and $60 for Luna, but for pre-order they are currently 20% off ($19.96 and $48) and their expected release date is November 26, 2014.
Thanks to MoonbeamStar for the info!

We've just received our Toys"R"Us order! Because we in The Netherlands don't have any Toys"R"Us stores we decided to do an order at the USA website. Want to see what we ordered? Check out the video on YouTube or watch it below!

The results of the second MLP Merch Poll are impressive! A stunning 81% of our visitors is excited about Cutie Mark Magic, and the majority of you will definitely get some of the new ponies, awesome! 12% of the voters are not interested in Cutie Mark Magic and another 5% had no idea these toys were found!

In addition to the MLP Puzzle Eraseez, there has also been a huge amount of new pony costumes and accessories over at Party City, just in time for Halloween! Most of the new items are based on Rainbow Dash, but there are also a few Pinkie Pie accessories, Twilight Sparkle costumes and general mane 6 stuff.
Because of the huge amount of items we won't link directly to each item, but you can find them by searching on the Party City website.
