One of our readers has stumbled upon this website claiming that these are official Venezuelan Pony Plushies from a brand called "Dulces Detallitos Adi" Since October 2014 they release will release Pony Plushies. They plushies itself look really... odd and some of them have wrong colours going on. Like I said we don't know much if these are indeed Official and licensed because the site is in Spanish.

Here's the link to the plushies for those who are interested: Dulces Detallitos Adi Pony Plushies
Perhaps you can tell us if these are licensed or not. :)

Thanks to Ayu for the heads up!

If you've seen Rainbow Rocks you know there is a sleepover in the movie, and Hasbro is even going to release two Equestria Girls dolls based on that scene! And we've just spotted something to ponify your sleepover: a 3-piece Sleepover Set! The set comes with a bag, sleeping bag and eye mask. All items have bright colors and vectors of Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy combined with "Sparkle and Shine" on the sleeping bag and eye mask.
Sadly Amazon hasn't listed a price yet, nor is there and info on the size of the sleeping bag, as I expect that these are targeted at children. We'll let you know when this set has been spotted in stores!

Want to take a bath but feel sad because you don't have any Ponies to accompany you? Don't feel sad anymore because Walmart has now started to sell these cute Pony themed bath accessories.

First up we have some Bathtub Finger Puppets which also squirt water. It also comes with a stand to display your little puppets on and it also included one bottle of Galloping Grape-scented Bubble Bath Soap. I really like these, I think they are cute!

Next up we also have a 4-pack of Pony Body Wash containers. Each bottle has it's own scent

Fluttershy - Mango
Pinkie Pie - Berry
Rarity - Apple
Twilight Sparkle - Grapes

Which scent is your favourite? I like Mango the most of these but I also like Orange and Peach.

You can get both of these for $10 each at Walmart.

Thanks to Heidi for the heads up!

A little while ago we reported on a Princess Celestia plush by Famosa that lights up and plays sounds. Not little after that did we already find a second version of her, with different wings. Now it seems that also a third version of that plush has been listed on Amazon. When comparing the three versions the new one looks much more finalized with a smoother tail and added shoes. We've also found an image of the box she comes in, confirming that she's being produced by Famosa, since this Princess Celestia has some design elements from TY and Aurora plushies.
She is currently only listed on the French Amazon website, but we expect to see a wider availability soon!

Around 3 weeks after the first announcment on Twitter, Hot Topic has listed the Blue Flu Discord vinyl figure up for pre-order. During the pre-order the price has been lowered to $19.60 and the release is currently set for November 25, which is the same day as the just announced Funko Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!
So, are you excited for this release or do you prefer to buy a new character like Celestia or Luna? Let us know in the comments!

SHOUT!Factory, producer of the My Little Pony DVDs, has released a product notice for the Rainbow Rocks DVD that was just released.
When the DVD is played from the start the 5th and 6th scene will be played in reverse. The error does not occur when these scenes are started from the 'scene select' menu. They state that the error is only limited to the first DVD run and that digital copies and Blu-Ray discs do not have the error. DVDs that came with the Blu-Ray do have the errors, though.
SHOUT!Factory offers replacement DVDs for owners of error discs and stores should receive replacements soon as well.

If you want to prepare yourself for the winter pony-style then we've found the thing for you! These sets of knitted hat, scarf and gloves are listed at Claire's for $30 per set. The sets are currently available in Fluttershy, Princess Celestia, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle style all in their matching color with cutie marks, faces, hair, horns and the Celestia hat and scarf even got crowns!
So, what do you think? Aren't these cute?

Last week's poll results are in, and it seems that most of you are quite modest when it comes to collecting. Over 50% of you have 50 or less items, with 25-50 being the common amount.
Then for the next groups the vote amount decreases slightly and then comes the 500+ group, which surprisingly, has 10% of the votes! I'm amazed at those amounts!

I returned home this morning and I was greeted by two packages. In one of them was a Sunset Breezie and I was supposed to get a Derpy Blind Bag as well. Turned out I got something completely different and something really interesting...
UPDATE: The Fluttershy blind bag is included in the Ponyville Party Game and is not fake!

As you can see in the top picture I received this interesting Fluttershy Blind Bag figure. She was anything like any blind bag I had ever seen yet. I started to compare her with my Wave 10 Fluttershy and I noticed the following things:

- Her tail is completely unpainted
- Her eyes are placed a bit higher but that can be coincidence
- Her hair color is much lighter and less vibrant then the wave 10 one
- Her glitter is INSIDE the body and not glued one like the regular ones.

Actually the only Blind Bags I remember to have glitter inside of them are the ones that came with those Russian Suprise Eggs. But still it's really strange. She also does have a production code under her hoof. Even though some numbers are worn off the code says 41321 which means she was made on the 12th of May 2014 (guide here)

We regularly find the craziest things over at Taobao, and this is one of them! Normally the Ponymania Photo Finish has her short, rounded forelock suiting her style in the show, but this brushable is far from that! I suspect that at one point she was rejected from the factory, before her hair would have been cut. The colors of her hair, cutie mark and glasses seem to be in perfect order.

A little while ago we already spotted the backcards of Rainbow Rocks Sunset Shimmer and Sapphire Shores dolls. Today we also found the backcards of the upcoming Sunset Shimmer and Princess Cadance Fashion Style brushables. The photos on the back show how the Friendship Charms can be applied to the dress and how they wear there earrings. The pictures are not of a very high quality, but I believe the packaging says "She wears and hangs her friendship charms!", because the Cutie Mark Magic line will be all about those charms. Most of the singles and other figures will also be getting the charms. For more Cutie Mark Magic releases you can visit our Brushable Database.
Below we also have images of the actual ponies and packaging:

In addition to Midtown Comics, more stores have started to officially accept pre-orders for the upcoming 4th Dimension Entertainment (4DE) plushies. These are the long awaited show accurate and officially licensed plushies that have been announced for quite a long time. Entertainment Earth currently accepts pre-orders for a January release. Prices remain $24.99 for the regular ponies and $59.99 for Princess Luna.
Below we've listed the pre-order pages for easy access:

Just something fun. Blip Toys has listed this new magnetic drawing board on Amazon. Blip Toys is also known for toys like the Pony Cameos. (Pencil Toppers) This time they have made a new Magnetic Drawing board. Right now it's listed on Amazon but no other information is known.

For those interested in the listing: Blip Toys Magnetic Drawing Board

Some of you might remember this plush as it was one of the first G4 pony Plushies to be released. It seems like it's got an re-release because of the Rainbow Power Packaging. This plush comes with 4 books and each book is one episode. The episodes included are 'Dragonshy', 'Griffon the Brush-off', Swarm of the Century and Fall Weather Friends. She also sings 3 songs. She has a price tag of $34.99.

Listing here: Pinkie Pie Rainbow Power Animated Storyteller Plush

- Pinkie Pie animated storyteller
- 4 fun books. Pony's mouth moves in sync with stories and songs!
- Sing 3 songs with Pinkie Pie!
- Original Product
- Excellent gift

This one came unexpected! Apparently the Glamour Glow Rarity from the brand new Cutie Mark Magic line has been already found in stores! This one was found at one of the Toys'R'Us stores in Singapore. We have no idea when she will arrive in the US but we let you guys know when we find out more!

Thanks to cosmicpony for the heads up and image!

A few weeks ago stock images of 2 Sleepover Equestria girls packs appeared on Amazon. A Pinkie Pie one that came with Gummy Snap, and a Twilight Sparkle doll that came with Spike the Puppy.  This set resembles the scene in Rainbow Rocks when they had a sleepover.

Anyway this image of Spike the Puppy has appeared on Taobao. And now we can get a closer look at it as well. Doesn't he look cute?

Some new fakies have been found. This time we have fakies based off the Trough the Mirror line, that's because of the decals on their legs that resemble the one the Through the Mirror Fashion Style Twilight Sparkle had. I assume that these are a bit the same size as the Fashion styles but I'm not sure.

Thanks to asktualaesparquel for the heads up!

And like every month IDW does not only announced the next Friendship is Magic comic, but also Friends Forever, this month it's #13 all about the friendship between Rarity and Babs Seed. As usual IDW shows us 2 covers: the regular cover and the subscription cover. This will be the first comic to release in 2015 with a release date of January 7.

IDW has announced the 27th Friendship is Magic comic through PreviewsWorld. We've got an image of cover B plus a small description. And this comic is all about Timberwolves! I personally liked that episode and am curious about how these will return in the comic. The comic will be out on January 21, 2015 so you'll need to have a little patience! As soon as more covers are known we'll share it here on MLPmerch.com.

In addition to the Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle plush bags, Target now has a Fluttershy listed as well. Just like the others she is priced at $12.99, but availability is unknown. She could pop up in stores soon! It's currently unknown whether Applejack and Rarity will come available.

Our weekly poll is a day too late due to problems at our poll provider, but we didn't forget about the poll and last weeks results, so here we go!
Last week we asked you what you voted for in Build-a-Bear Workshop's survey for new MLP plushies. We divided the poll into 3 segments, just like the survey, and asked per page what your votes were. and this are the results:
Page 1: Luna won this one easily with 62.7% of this pages votes. Princess Cadance got 23% and most of you knew that Celestia was already being produced and therefor she got only 79 votes.
Page 2: Another clear victory, this time for Derpy with 54% of the individual votes, and a little behind that is Discord. At the bottom are Spitfire and Dr. Whooves, who got only 66 votes.
Page 3: DJ PON-3 barely won this one with 32% while Octavia and Lyra are just behind that. Spitfire seems to be the lease favourite one of the 4 and got just over 100 votes.

Yesterday these fake MLP plushies were spotted. They are clearly inspired by the G4 style of ponies, but are not based on common ponies. The pegasus looks a bit like Rainbow Flash and the earth pony looks somewhat familiar but I have no idea which pony she looks like.
Both ponies don't seem to have a cutie mark and the eyes of the earth pony have no color at all. They stand about 8 inches tall and seem to be of average quality, not as good as some other unlicensed plushies. I personally doubt whether these will every be available outside of Taobao, since they are not based on popular ponies.
If you know on which ponies these two are based, please let us know in the comments!
(Thanks to Ayu for the info!)

It seems like a new Funko Prototype has poppep up. But this time it is one of a Fluttershy Mystery Mini figure, we actually don't see much of those. As you can see the whole body is white. I wonder which color it's suposed to be painted in, because I don't know if the black on the Mini's is painted on or part of the plastic itself. If you know more information let us know!

A few days ago we posted about the Target Exclusive Black Rainbow Dash Funko Vinyl being found in stores. But now it has been listed on the Target website as well for $14.00.

Thanks to Aquatic Neon for the heads up!

A few weeks ago Amazon listed some new Cutie Mark Magic Fashion Styles: Sunset Shimmer and Princess Cadance. We of course know they are real and will be released. But now these 2 have appeared on Taobao as well. The reason why I'm posting this is because the listing on Amazon only shows them with their clothes on, so we don't get a good look at the body. Sunset Shimmer's eyes weren't even visible because of the glasses she wears.

A while ago we posted about some MLP Play-doh listings that had been found on Amazon. Not long go after that, images of the Rainbow Dash Salon Set have been found. Now, after some weeks, images of the Cutie Mark Creators set have also been found on Amazon as well.

This set features 2 molds of Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie, you can fill them up with different colors of play-doh and you can also make your own Cutie Mark with the use of some kind of wheel with different designs. Why is it Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie? Wasn't it a better idea to make the CMC?

No release date is known right now. But we will keep you guys up to date when we find out more!

A few days ago it was announced that there would be an Exclusive Black Rainbow Dash Funko Vinyl figure. There were some rumours it was going to be a Target exclusive. And it has been confirmed now as it has been found at Target. Just like the SDCC 2014 Spitfire and Dj-Pon-3, she will also have glitter in her mane.

Thanks to Ryan for the heads up and for providing the picture!

What to do if you're an MLP fan that wants to listen to music on the go AND have no idea where to store a portable speaker? Well have we found the solution for you! This is a tiny portable speaker in the shape of Pinkie Pie that you can use as a keychain. It plugs in to any 3.5mm jack, which every modern smartphone or MP3 player uses and has rechargeable batteries for easy recharging. The listing at ShopYourWay also mentions that it has high quality stereo sound, but I highly doubt good sound from something this small. It's available for $14.99 and the listing also states that Kmart sell them too.

Some of you might remember this Night Light. A while ago we posted about some merch made by the Gift Wholesale Store Paladone. They announced 5 new pony items. One of them has now been listed on the Whoolworths website: The Twilight Sparkle Night Light. This Night Light features a nicely molded Twilight Sparkle which light up if you press the button under her base.

She's currently listed for £16.0. No size is given right now but she requires 3 AAA Batteries.

Listing: Paladone Twilight Sparkle Night Light

Visit the land of nod every night with the Princess Twilight Sparkle night light to guide your way. On/off switch located under the base. Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).

About a week ago we posted about two Funko POP! Prototype images of Princess Celestia and Discord, and Spitfire. It seems now that some pictures of the finished product have appeared as well. Another thing is that there will be also a Trixie Funko POP! I wonder if they will still make Rarity and Applejack though.

Thanks to MoonbeamStar for the heads up!

Remember the music note Fashion Style Princess Celestia and Luna from the Through the Mirror series? Well today we spotted a factory error on taobao of the Princess Luna brushable. Instead of the dark pink/purple music notes and lines she has no lines at all, white music notes and they are also mirrored! All other parts of her look the same and the glitter is there as well, so the chance of it being a fakie is really slim. I wonder if we will see more if this error in the future on eBay?

Today we review one of the newest pieces of merch we can get here in The Netherlands: The Equestria Girls Collection Rarity doll! As usual, you can choose to read our review or watch the special video we made for the review, which you can both find below:

The results of MLP Merch Poll #6 are in, and my OCD is pleased! The number one received exactly 1/3rd of the votes: regular brushables! Number 2 and 3 are very close: Blind Bags with 25% and Equestria Girls Dolls with 24.7% (1 vote behind) and then comes a huge gap before we see number 4, Fashion Styles with 7.2% and Hasbro POP a 6.8%. And finally, the least favourite merch type, Styling Size brushables with only 3.1% of the votes.

Toys"R"Us has added a lot lof listings to their website, including the second wave of Hasbro POP ponies. Sadly, they forgot to include Lyra Heartstrings in the listings, but the mane 6 and Cheerilee are present. For more information on all the ponies included, check out our special on the second and third wave of Hasbro POP ponies. The ponies are being sold for $3.99 each and included body, mane, tail, optional wings and a sticker sheet. You can also check out our review of some of the first POP ponies or shop for the second wave at Toys"R"Us via the listings below:

Whoops! Seems that I forgot to post on this one, sorry for the delay, but here is finally our post on the release of the Friendship is Magic #24 comic by IDW. This comics features 6 covers, one of which is an Hal-Con exclusive. The comic is about Discord and Fluttershy and is, just like comic #23 another one-comic story arc. This comic has also been added to our MLP Comic Database.

Build-a-Bear is planning a new line of pony plushies, and to get an idea of which characters are popular they launched a survey where you can leave your preferences.
Your first choice is between Princess Luna, Celestia and Cadance, which is odd since Princess Celestia has already been announced!
On the next question you can choose another pony, this time either Discord, Derpy (Bubbles) or Dr. Whooves.
Then the final pony selection screen comes up and you can select either Spitfire, DJ PON-3, Octavia or Lyra. At the bottom you can also name another pony which you would like to see.
And after that there are some questions about YouTube video and the survey is complete.
So don't forget to vote now for your favourite ponies, and perhaps Build-a-Bear will create a plush out of it!

These SMS Text Messengers have been out for a little while at Walmart, but this is the first time I see them listed, and Twilight got her wings on the new version, so let's dive a little bit into it.
First of, the name 'SMS Text Messenger' is a bit misleading. As these do not actually send SMS messages (at least not over regular networks) and don't require SIM-cards to work. These actually send little text messages to each other wirelessly with some kind of technology (probably infrared) over a short distance. From the Walmart comments we can read that this short distance is around 10 feet (30 meters). The new Toys"R"Us listing also mentions that it can hold phone numbers, addresses, emails and memos. But don't expect to be able to have phone calls and send emails, as these can only text each other and hold a few notes. Looking at the keyboard it also seems to have calculator features and sound.
The only real purpose behind these is probably to secretly send text messages to each other in class or at parties. But besides that, it looks kinda cool to have an MLP 'phone' that can actually send messages.
