There have already been some rumors that MLP Themed Toys would be included in the Kinder Surprise Eggs. It seems like that will be indeed true as this image has popped up on the Ferrero Kinder website. Just some little information, Ferrero is an Italian manufacturer of branded chocolate and confectionery products and it is the biggest chocolate producer in the world. They own brands such as Kinder, Nutella and Tic Tac etc.

So these have appeared on their website and if the translation from another website is correct, it will be this September. We are of course waiting for confirmation. As you can see both Ponies and Equestria Girls are available with the exception of Applejack and Rarity in both forms. It's unclear which countries exactly will get these but we hope to give your more information soon. If we know more will will let you know.

Thanks to Anonymous for the heads up.

We already expected them to appear on the Pillow Pets website soon but since today they have been listed! Well at least for the Pillow Pets ones. According to a post we made earlier there are also other Pillow Pets MLP Related Products coming soon such as Dream Lites, backpacks and more. But so far only these 2 have been found.

They will have a price tag of $29.99 each. They are currently out of stock but they will be available this June. We will notify you when they are available together with the other products.

Listings:

• Pillow Pets Folding Plush Rainbow Dash 
• Pillow Pets Folding Plush Twilight Sparkle

Enterplay has shared some information about their plans to release a Deluxe Dice Collection later this year on Facebook. The set with contain 6 dice and on the render we can see that this will be a set of 4x D6, a D10 and a D20. Also included are a gaming pad (FB post says mouse pad), a Twilight Sparkle promo foil and a velvet dice pouch.
I like the idea of some official dice for the CCG, because to be honest, everyone I see is using D20's for scoring anyway (except for me, as I don't have a single D20). The reason: they're much more stable than the card slider, easier to read and look cooler (especially these exclusive designs).
The post also learns us that these are pre-production renders and that the final design can look a little different. There will also be a few different designs, but it's not yet known whether this will include a unique set for each of the mane 6.
Below you can also see a render of what the Twilight D6 might look like. Weirdly enough Twilight's face seem to be placed over the 5 or 2, rather than the 1 or 6.

About 2 weeks ago, 4 of the 12 school spirit dolls have been found on the Canadian Amazon. We found the images of Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare. It seems like four new ones have been listed as well. This time we have Applejack and Fluttershy. And from the Shadowbolts team we now have Twilight Sparkle and Sour Sweet.
This means we are only missing four by now: Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, Indigo Zap and Sugarcoat. No other information as given such as an release date or price.

Take a look at them below! Who's your favorite?

We're happy to announce that directly at the release of the MLP Friendship Celebration app, we've released our MLP Zapcodes Database!
In this brand new database you can find all currently known Zapcodes to unlock ponies in the Friendship Celebration app. Just select the pony you want and scan the Zapcode with the app!
Right at the launch we've already prepared 18 Zapcodes. These Zapcodes are custom rendered so that the codes are clearly readable, much better than loose images.


So far we've not been able to test the Zapcodes ourselves as the app is for North America only. If you're able to download the app, feel free to let us know whether the codes work or not!

Just before and on the New York Toy Fair of 2015 we came to know more about the heart symbols that were placed on the hooves of new Cutie Mark Magic ponies. And today, the app that can read the heart symbols (Zapcodes) and turn your physical ponies into virtual friends has been released: My Little Pony Friendship Celebration!
In this app you can host parties, play with your ponies and add your Cutie Mark Magic ponies into the game, a bit like Skylanders and Amiibos! The app also mentions multiplayer options and loads of games that are included. Below we have a list of some official screenshots.

We first spotted them at the NY Toy Fair 2015 but after that it became quite quiet around them... until now as 2 versions have been listed on Entertainment Earth. First up we have the original Hikari figure and the metallic version which will be an Entertainment Earth Exclusive.  To ask you question what a Hikari means:

What is Funko Hikari ?
Hikari, meaning ‘light’, is a highly collectible line of clear Sofubi Vinyl Figures.
These will be ultra-limited and piece runs will range from 500pcs-5000pcs depending on the treatment. Each Hikari piece will include a hand numbered card to prove authenticity and rarity.

You can pre-order them for $79.99 each. The original version will be available this June, the metallic version will come in September. We will keep you updated when the other ones are being listed. Be fast because there will be only 700 of the original one and 250 of the metallic one!

Listings:

• My Little Pony Original Rainbow Dash Hikari Sofubi Vinyl Figure 
• My Little Pony Metallic Rainbow Dash Hikari Sofubi Vinyl Figure

She was shown somewhere during the New York Toy Fair 2015 but we never took a good look at her because there weren't any good pictures. Several of them have already been found on Amazon and Starlight and Fluttershy have already been spotted online as well.
Today the Twilight Sparkle Ribbon Hair Single was spotted on Taobao so we now can take a good look at her. So far there will be a total of 8 singles so far in this series. This included the mane six, Starlight Glimmer and Nurse Redheart, she will probably be a Walgreens exclusive again.

Last year Toy Factory announced they would make My Little Pony Plush as well. We never heard anything of it until now! While browsing trough Ebay I stumbled upon these new plush. According to the listing they are indeed by Toy Factory!

These plush are 6 inches tall and features a Cutie Mark Magic themed tag. Just like many other plush they have brushable hair. Right now we have images of Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. It's unknown if there are also images of the others ones and if they will/have been made. As so far, this is the only info we have at the moment. If you know more or perhaps spotted them somewhere else, feel free to let us know!

Wat do you think of them? I like that Pinkie Pie looks backwards. Gives her an unique look!

Yesterday we posted about some new listings of the Friendship Games Dolls that have been found on the Smyths website. It seems like they also shown some Ponies we haven't had images of yet. These are the Sporty Style Deluxe Sugarcoat and Indigo Zap dolls.
We also got images now of the Canterlot High Playset!

What do you think of them? I love how Indigo Zap looks.

Smyths Toys UK has started to list various Friendship Games and Cutie Mark Magic listings. Earlier we've spotted listings on Amazon US, but this is the first time a UK retailer lists something from the Friendship Games or upcoming Cutie Mark Magic releases.
So far, the listings include:

• Equestria Girls Canterlot High School Playset
• Equestria Girls Sporty Style Dolls
• Cutie Mark Magic Glowing Hearts Princess Cadance
• Cutie Mark Magic Rarity Booktique Playset

The listings don't have any images, but the Canterlot High School playset is the only set we still need official images of anyway. Smyths did however price all the listings: £19.99 for the Sporty Style Dolls, £24.99 for Princess Cadance, £29.99 for the Booktique and £69.99 for the High School Playset. We also have an expected release date: between the 10th and 17th of June!

For more information, please refer to our earlier posts about the listed sets, including images:

• Equestria Girls Canterlot High School Playset
• Equestria Girls Sporty Style Dolls
• Cutie Mark Magic Glowing Hearts Princess Cadance
• Cutie Mark Magic Rarity Booktique Playset

Sorry for the delay, totally forgot we didn't post a poll this week!
Last week we asked you what your opinion is about the WeLoveFine vinyl series that was teased (and announced) last week. And the results are very clear this week! Just over 50% of you absolutely love these figures and 11% like at least one of them. another 8.3% of you are somewhat happy with them, while 20.8% voted early last month and wanted to wait for the fronts (which were revealed only a bit later). Just under 10% of you don't like them, either because of the character, mold or another reason.

In a recent interview with Brian Mariotti, CEO of Funko, a new line of exclusive Funko POP! t-shirts were announced. The t-shirts will be available in limited numbers at Hot Topic, and yes, My Little Pony will be part of this years line! As you can see above at least Rainbow Dash is confirmed, but it's possible that we'll see more MLP shirts soon too. The Rainbow Dash shirt looks adorable with the pose and her flowing hair.
Once we have more info on the available shirts and release date at Hot Topic we'll be sure to write another post about it.
Thanks to Ayu for the info!

Yesterday, when I initially wrote this post I was confused and assumed this was a new book. But that doesn't seem to be true! Various readers and even G.M. Berrow herself confirmed that this book is a re-release of the "Princess Celestia and the Summer of Royal Waves" book, but for the UK. This means that the UK will get another title and cover than the US, but the story will stay the same.
Princess Celestia and the Royal Summer is the first part of the Princess Collection series, and is written by G.M. Berrow (known from the Daring Do Adventure Collection). Pre-orders are not yet available, but we do have a release date: January 7, 2016. (Weirdly enough the book is only listed on Amazon US and not UK).
This is the information that Amazon provides for the UK release:

Seems like we will get more candy related merchandise coming soon! This time a company called Radz has announced they will make My Little Pony Related Candy dispensers. These are fun candy dispensers and when you press the button some candy for you will get out her mouth. You can also swap the hair. You also need to do that if you want to refill her. They look sort of... troll like to me but I really like the concept.
As for now it seems like they will come in two kind of packaged. One is the single packaged one like shown above. You know which one to get. Then there's also the blind boxed ones like shown in this pic by Ben Spark. You have a change to get the mane six but I heard Spike will also be included as a chase figure. We have images of the concept art as well below (excluding Applejack). They will retail for $3.99 - $4.99

Right now we have no other information. If you know more or perhaps spotted them already. Please let us know!
Thanks to Anonymous for the heads up.

We already reported on the fact that Coco Pommel has been found loose on Ebay 2 days ago. But now she's listed on Amazon together with the Pinkie Pie Fashion Style from the same series. No word yet on the Rarity and Rainbow Dash one so perhaps they will be listed later.

As always we will keep you guys updated.

I almost forgot about these figures after their original announcement 3 months ago at the NY Toy Fair, but we've finally manged to get some detailed images of them: The metallic Hasbro POP Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash!
These new POPs are from the Wing Kit series, which means that they come with 3 pair of wings. Two of the wing pairs have a metallic finish and one is a regular set of wings. The full body has a metallic finish too and as usual a sheet of stickers is included too.
No exact release date is known, but it won't be long now we know that the stock images are out there!

A little while ago we spotted the packaging of some Cutie Mark Magic Ribbon Hair brushables on Amazon, and now we've also managed to get images of the Starlight Glimmer and Fluttershy packaging, which were missing from the set.
It's nice to see Starlight's vector on the front and the first good shot of her leg accessory.
So far we're only missing Twilight and the stock images of Starlight Glimmer and Fluttershy, but I expect those all to pop up as wave 2 soon.

We first saw her during the NY Toy Fair but now she has appeared on Taobao as well. We can now take a better look at her. As you can see she has a ribbon in her hair with her cutie mark on it, she also comes with a Zapcode. She's part of the Ribbon Hair Singles, several of them have been found in packaging as well on Amazon. Lets hope she appears on Amazon too as well soon.

Are you going to get her?

Yesterday WeLoveFine officially revealed their new Chibi Vinyl Line. They announced them as Blind Boxes and selling them for $15 each. You were also able to buy two hole boxes (over $300) to guarantee a complete set. Since then WeLoveFine received a lot of complaints about the absurd High Price for a Blind Box. The main reason was that they didn't want to pay that much when you can't select the figure you want.

Only one day after WeLoveFine has decided to no longer make them Blind Boxes. You can now select the figure you want for $15 each. Including Chrysalis, who also has been revealed now. There's also the option to buy the whole set for $120 this is also the only way to get the Discord one as he's a set exclusive.  As a reason they say that they didn't make a lot of him.

Check out the updated listing here!

We first saw the Coco Pommel Fashion Style at the NY Toy Fair 2015 but since then it has been a bit quiet around her. Turns out she has appeared loose on Ebay right now! Now we can all take a good look at what she looks like without her clothes. I really like the color choice.
Lets hope we can spot her in packaging soon as well! I believe it isn't gonna take long before some of them are going to hit the stores. But let just all wait for now.

Thanks to jskr76 for the heads up!

So right now there are a total of 5 Diamond Select MLP Banks. (see them here) While we were missing only Twilight it seems like she was going to be the next one in this line. Turns out it's going to be Dr Whooves! Right now you can pre-order him on the BigBadToyStore website for $19.99 during the current sale. The regular price will be $22.99. He will be available October 2015.

A Diamond Select Toys release! The mysterious pony with the hourglass cutie mark is now the mysterious sixth vinyl bank in the My Little Pony series by DST! Based on his appearance in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, this pony (sometimes known as "Time Turner") sets all the clocks in Ponyville, and is sure to delight any fan of the popular animated series. Not just a pretty sculpt, this 7" vinyl bank has a coin slot in the base for storing your spare change, and an access door for getting it out again. Packaged in a clear polybag.

• Product Number: DMC12344 

• Shipping Weight: 1.05 pounds

When we initially found the Ribbon Hair Nurse Redheart brushable we were confused about the missing Zapcode. The other Ribbon Hair brushables did in fact already have the Zapcodes printed on them. Turns out that just like the first Equestria Girls Archery Dolls we found, the code simply hasn't been printed yet. A new Taobao find, shown in the images, confirms that.
And now we mention the Zapcodes again: We're making some great progress on our Zapcode simulator and making all Zapcodes available in high quality. We'll soon release the update in our MLP Brushables Database and hopefully soon test it out with the Friendship Celebration app!

Well this set came as a huge surprise. This one was found on Taobao and it features Pinkie Pie and Scootaloo with a stove for some reason. None of the two have extra decals on their body. Also no set name is known as the packaging only says "Pinkie Pie & Scootaloo" but I guess it's a fun set if you're looking for a Scootaloo figure (or Pinkie).

We will inform you all when we know more.

And a new Friends Forever comic has been announced as well! This time we the comic will focus on Rarity and the Cake Family. Sounds fun to me! The writer for this issue is Christina Rice and the artist wil be Brenda Hickey. The cover is designed by Amy Mebberson.

Synopsis:  Rarity has a genius idea to expand the Cake's business! However, Rarity's big dreams may overtake the Cake's sanity before the new venture can even get off the ground! 

 And a new comic from the Friendship is Magic line has been announced. This time we have issue #33 and it will continue the same story-line from the #32 one which is: Night of the living apples. It seems like this story-arc will have lots of bats!

The subscription comic features the mane six as famous vampires. The sad thing is that have no idea which one is which. Can you help me figure it out? Speaking of the covers. Cover A is made by Tony Fleecs and the subscription variant is made by Andy Price.

Writer: Thom Zahler
Artist: Tony Fleecs

Synopsis: "Night of the Living Apples" Part 2! The Bad Apples' rule is now law in Ponyville! The only hope lies with FLUTTERBAT! 

After about a week the Vinyl Line by WeLoveFine has finally been revealed! Turns out they are going to be Chibi Blind Bag Boxes just like the Funko Mystery mini's. They are designed by Sajira.
You can pre-order them on WeLoveFine for $15 each. You can also decide to buy a whole case for $156. According to the WLF website, buying 2 cases will guarantee a complete set. Ordering 2 cases will guarantee a complete set of all 8 characters & each case set contains 12 figures total: 2 of Flutterbat, Rarity, DJ Pon3, Pinkie Pie, & Princess Twilight Sparkle
1 semi-rare Best Pony or Derpy,1 ultra rare of 2 secret super villains . They will ship December 16, 2015

Get them here!

There will be also 2 Ultra Rares in this set. They only have a preview yet so far but I bet we all know who they are: Discord and Queen Chrysalis.

What do you think of this line? Are you going to get one or more? Please let us know! Below we have some more individual shots of them, a size chart and a list with the ratios.

A company called Super Impulse Toys announced and released a new line of figures: My Little Pony cJax. These are little figures with a plug that fits any 3.5 mm audio jack, which can be found in your phone and tablet. And these figures also have a clever solution for when you want to listen to some music: You can plug the figure in a little clip and attach it to your earphones so you have the audio jack free again! At the moment Pinkie Pie (spelled Pinky), Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Derpy (named Muffins) and DJ Pon-3 are included in the first wave.
The cJax figures are available in single and triple packs, and the latter is already available on Amazon!
Thanks to Ayu for the info!

About 2 months ago we reported that Hasbro was expanding their basic/budget doll line with the addition of Rarity. Since then we wondered if Applejack and Twilight would also be made. Seems like the answer is yes! This image was found on the website of Biedronka. It is the biggest chain of no frills supermarkets in Poland. They actually look kinda nice! (Even when they added Pinkie Pie 2 times instead of Fluttershy...)

So with that said it seems like the whole mane six is now part of the new budget line. We have no idea when these will hit the stores in the US but we keep you guys up to date. If they arrive in the US you will find them most likely in several budget stores like Dollar General

Thanks to Izabela for the heads up and image!

And that's number six! Only 2 more to go. This time we have gotten a preview of the Twilight Sparkle Vinyl figure by WeLoveFine. But who are going to be the other two? It seems like Applejack and Rainbow Dash are the most logical... I guess only time can tell!

Last week we asked you which figure you would like to see in blind bag form. And it was pretty exciting to follow the voting with a close winner: Discord! he got just over 20% of the votes, while the number two, Starlight Glimmer, got 19%. They're followed closely by Maud Pie (16.6%) and King Sombra (15.7%). Other characters like Coco Pommel and Spike got 8% or less, while Aloe was the least favourite choice with only 0.9% of the votes.

These gumball machines of an unknown brand have been spotted at FairPlay stores in Chicago. They're called 7" Gumball Banks and are available with Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. The figures that are on top of the machines look adorable!
It's currently unknown whether these are being sold in other stores too, but I expect these to pop up in more places soon.
Thanks to Victor for the image!

Sorry for the delay on reporting this one. We had some problems posting at our holiday home. Ah well, WeLoveFine has teased a new figure for their new vinyl line. As we can all see it's Pinkie Pie! So so far we have Derpy, Rarity, DJ Pon-3, Flutterbat and well Pinkie Pie. So 3 more to go! Who could it be?

We already spotted them at the New York Toy Fair 2015 but since today they have been spotted on Amazon as well together with their stock images.  We are of course talking about the second wave of the Cutie Mark Magic Water Cuties line.  While the first wave featured ponies with translucent bodies,  this time only the wings are filled with water.  The ponies included are Blossomforth,  Lily Blossom and Rainbow Dash.

WeLoveFine teased their 4th (officially 3rd) figure of their upcoming vinyl figure line: DJ Pon-3 (a.k.a. Vinyl Scratch). So far we've seen Derpy, Rarity and Flutterbat and there are 4 figures still to be released. So far we have no idea what the exact size will be, but they'll probably be smaller that the usual vinyl figures WeLoveFine/MightyFine releases.

Another images has popped up briefly on the social media of WeLoveFine, this time teasing a new Flutterbat vinyl figure. We however have no idea what's going on as the counting and sequence is all messed up at the moment: Yesterday Rarity (4/8) was teased, and later removed. Today the Flutterbat (2/8) was teased, and later removed and replaced by Rarity (2/8).
For now I guess that Rarity is officially 2/8 and that we'll see Flutterbat this week, but it's pretty messy at the moment.
Stay tuned for more info on these figures as we'll probably see another teaser tomorrow!

Why did I already have the feeling this would happen... just after I posted about 3 of the new Friendship Games School Spirit Dolls the stock images for the Pinkie Pie one appeared on the Canadian Amazon as well. In addition to her it seems like they also listed the Fluttershy Archery Doll. Take a good look at them. Aren't they nice?

A few months ago we reported about some of the School Spirit Dolls being spotted on Taobao. Then about a week ago, stock images of some of the Archery Dolls and the Flash Sentry and Twilight 2-pack appeared on the Canadian Amazon. Well it seems like some of the School Spirit Dolls were next as we now have stock images of the School Spirit Rarity, Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest dolls.

No other information was given and these 3 were the only ones we found so far. We will give you more info if we know more. Which one of these is your favorite?

 It's been a while since we heard anything about the Glamour Glow Princess Cadance Brushable. But it seems like she has been listed now on the UK Amazon website, and for some reason she's already available to order! According to Amazon she will be usually dispatched within 2 to 4 weeks. Notice that she also has gotten a different name then Rarity. Instead of "Glamour Glow" she's now called Glowing Hearts Princess Cadance even when the gimmicks are the same as Rarity.

You can order her on Amazon UK for £24.99.

• Glowing Hearts Princess Cadance pony figure has beautiful glowing hearts on her shoulder and leg
• Includes horn decoration
• Figure has rainbow hair and tail
• Includes tiara and comb to style her hair
• My Little Pony Friendship Celebration app works with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and select Android devices.

Princess Cadance has always been a caring pony princess, but now her heart truly shines with kindness! This amazing Glowing Hearts Princess Cadance figure has beautiful rainbow hair and tail you can style with the included comb, and decorations for her horn. Even more amazing are the beautiful hearts on her shoulder and leg, because they really glow! You can unlock her character in the My Little Pony Friendship Celebration app when you scan her badge (device not included) and play as her character in the app. Virtual or not, you'll have the kindest pony pal in the paddock with this beautiful Glowing Hearts Princess Cadance figure! My Little Pony and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

Out of nowhere this playset appeared in a toystore in Thailand. The toystore called PonyTH Shop shared the image 3 days ago is selling the playset for 2990 baht, which is around $90. The set is being released under the current Cutie Mark Magic series, but none of the 3 ponies included (Rainbow Dash, Cheerilee and Fluttershy) have any markings, nor are there any Zapcodes.
There seems to be a lot of recycling in this set: The included playset is the same as that of Cheerilee's Ponyville Schoolhouse and Cheerilee's hat is from the Afternoon Picknick set, as well as the table and some accessories. If this set will see an international release and the price will drop lower, then this might be a nice playset to have if you want some non-decorated ponies and a few playset props, but for now $90 is too steep for 3 ponies and a little set.
We'll be following the release of this playset and post about when it pops up anywhere else. It's common for Hasbro to release new products in Thailand and other Asian countries like The Philippines before they hit the US or Europe.

A little while back TY released their new line of tinsel-hair plushies. This line does not only consist of the 8 and 16 inch plushies, but also in keychain size. Those keychain plushies are now available at Five Below for only $3.99 each. In the UK and Europe these have also been spotted at Claire's, but they're a bit more pricey there. Below we also have some comparison picture (right), showing that Ty changed their production process to include embroidered eyes and cutie marks, instead of painted/printed ones. This looks so much better for pony plushies and is probably more resistant to scratches as well.
Thanks to Steven for the info and images!
