Last week we asked you whether the latest MLP Happy Meal figures were already available at your McDonalds restaurants. Apparently, most of you are still waiting for them, mainly because there is still no word from the US restaurants for a release of them. Actually only 14% of the people who voted are living in a country where they are available and there's a large group (35%) in between who is going to check again soon.

We're back with another weekly store finds post! This time we've got a few random items from the US, but we've also included an Equestria Girls update from the UK and something you might not see often in the US!
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

While we've seen plenty of MLP The Movie Guardians of Harmony figures at the New York Toy Fair, Brazil appears to have a few exclusive peek at upcoming merch themselves on the Abrin toy fair, which just started.
The first set (seen above) features a new pirate Bird-character from the MLP Movie, which we've not seen before. Sadly a (also new) Applejack pirate figure is standing in front of it, blocking the name. The only thing we know for certain now is that it's name starts with a "B". On the box it mentions an action that is triggered by squeezing it's legs. Judging by the projectiles that are included, I suppose these will be fired when you squeeze.
The final set shown is a Walmart Exclusive Rainbow Dash figure that comes as part of a big flying ship. You can clearly see the well-decorated ship below, but sadly there's no clear picture of the included Rainbow Dash figure.
Credits to Peter Toys for the images! We hope to get more detailed photos of these sets soon, and will of course share them with you.

Over at the New York Toy Fair last month we saw a new concept for Equestria Girls Minis where a full figure is combined with interchangeable cloths, hair and accessories. And while we've seen a Pinkie Pie set with different hair pieces, this is the first time you can actually change the full body.
Rarity's set will feature a short & skirt set, glasses and strawberry (?) skirt set and a formal dress with gold accents. The "Switch 'n Mix Fashions" set of Twilight is bundled with a lab coat outfit, a purple dress and a sweater & skirt set. Aside of these clothing sets you can freely mix up the hairstyles and accessories, although some might fit better than others. As of course you're free to mix up pieces of Rarity and Twilight Sparkle to create a unique character.
We have no further details on the release of these sets aside from Hasbro's initial information: a Fall 2017 release for about $15 per set.

Every single release type of MLP is getting a restyle one way or another, and Playskool is no exception. While no new sets were shown at the 2017 New York Toy Fair as far as we knew, at least two new sets will be released soon.
The first set is the Cupcake Truck who fits two ponies and comes combined with Pinkie Pie and Spike. The other set, a Ferris Wheel, is bundled with Applejack and Pinkie Pie. The wheel, however, does fit 5 ponies in total and will spin around with the click of a button.
While the outer box of these sets received a big restyle for the reboot Hasbro has started at the end of 2016, the included figures look exactly the same. The only unique pony is the Pinkie Pie figure that comes with the Cupcake Truck as she's wearing a hat.

Last week we asked you what your ideal MLP magazine would look like. As you might have guessed the big winner is freebies. If we look past this clear winner it's posters that people are looking for, as well as stories and concept art. Submitted art and stories are the least popular on this list.

The first batch of the new Equestria Girls Minis we saw during the NY Yoy Fair this year has appeared on Amazon and several other websites. The theme for this line will be the mall with some of the characters having shops. Amazon has listed the Mall Collection Singles which includes a lot of new characters as well like Derpy/Muffins, Trixie and Roseluck and more.

The My Little Pony Happy Meal toys released in New Zealand at the end of last year are finally getting a broader release, starting with Europe. From all over the continent we've gotten reports, and we've seen them in ourselves in The Netherlands too. Other reports came from Poland, Finland and Sweden. This wave has only 4 ponies: Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle. While New Zealand also saw a Fluttershy release she has been left out in the European line. The figures themselves are still the same and each "Reboot Style" figure comes with their own accessory. Rainbow Dash has a comb, Rarity a mirror, Twilight Sparkle comes with a notepad and Pinkie Pie has some kind of paper cutter/stamp. You can now get them in your Happy Meal or buy them loose, which usually costs between €1.50 and €2.
Thanks to Ozzie and Martyna for the info and Jonna for the images!

Build-a-Bear US has sent an e-mail to their subscribers about a big restock in their online store: Trixie, Fluttershy and Rarity are once again available, including their accessories. On the My Little Pony brand page of the online BaB store you can find all available ponies and accessories. The e-mail states that this is "Online Only", so don't expect these to appear in stores.
Thanks to Mindy & PixelTrix TV for the info!

This week we have a rather small store finds update for you, but an update nonetheless. One of finds was a new release of the Photo Finish fashion style, but we also have an art set and blind bags for you this week.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Last week we asked you how many toy collections you own in total. And judging by the comments we should have made an extra option! While most of you have 3 to 5 collections, an overwhelming big group of 26% has over 10 separate toy collections! Only 19% sticks to just MLP and only a small group of 3% does not collect anything.

Last week someone on Facebook asked whether the US has any MLP Magazine. At that time I was not sure, but incidentally, as of this week a new My Little Pony magazine called "Magical Magazine" was lunched in the US. The overall MLP rebranding and upcoming movie seems to be the reason for this sudden magazine launch, so this line might only see a few releases.
The magazine is released by Topix Media and can at least be found at Walmart. It contains everything you might expect from an MLP magazine: puzzles, trivia, games and quizzes. Though, reading the index is does not look like this magazine contains any stories or comics, something other magazines commonly do contain. The "freebies" are two posters included with the magazine, so sadly no Magazine Figures for the US.
Below you can find some more photos from the magazine and the included My Little Pony The Movie announcement.
Thanks to Victor for the photos!

Not only Amazon, but Zulily too has started a new sale on My Little Pony items. As you might already know, Zulily has a broader range of items and you'll often find items you've not seen before on their sale list, so it's always worth a look. Keep in mind that their sales only last a few days, and this one is going to end on the 14th of March. You'll find all items on the My Little Pony Zulily page, but we've highlighted a few special deals below.

Amazon once again started a big sale on the 2016 My Little Pony sets, including many of the Guardians of Harmony and Equestria Girls Minis figures. If you didn't get some of these figures yet it might be the ideal moment to get them, as some of the discounted prices are even better than the last sale in January!
Below we have a selection of the more popular sets, but you can also check out the complete Amazon page for My Little Pony items on sale. Enjoy!

Many people already visited their local Build-a-Bear store to get the latest My Little Pony character plush: Starlight Glimmer. One of our followers, CottonTALE, was kind enough to send us some photos of what she's actually look like, especially for those who are still in doubt on whether to get her or not.
In the photos you can see that they took some special arrangements to keep her hair in place by stitching various parts of it. If you're looking to give her a custom hairdo, you might need to keep that in mind. Also, I'm not sure if it's the lighting in the picture, but the color of her coat looks more towards salmon than her regular, brighter pink.

We already knew that Australia was getting the Starlight Glimmer Build-a-Bear Plush on the 9th of March but it was yet unsure if the other countries would get her as well on that day. It was expected and it's true, Starlight Glimmer is now available. Along with her a special dress for her has also been released which would also look amazing with Rarity. Still not every country will get her as the German Build-a-Bear doesn't offer her. (Minty also never got released) Have all the listings for each country below.

For this year's Easter, Kinder has re-released the My Little Pony Surprise Eggs figure, originally from 2015, in a special Easter Maxi egg (Riesen-Ei in Germany). One little change, though: They've replaced the Twilight Sparkle pony and EqG figure with Rarity figures. This leave only Applejack behind as the only figure not released in Kinder eggs (which isn't the first time).
You should be able to get them right now in Germany and/or surrounding countries, especially as your country got the original eggs too.
Thanks to Ayu for the info!

This week we've got a very international store finds post with photos from the US, UK, Ireland, Singapore and Poland! We see a few first-time release merch as well as some merch that has now been confirmed to be available in other countries, so head on down and read all about it!
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Last week we asked you what the best announcement from this year's New York Toy Fair was. As it turns out many people are very enthusiastic about the upcoming EqG Minis characters and set as that line has received almost 34% of the votes! In a solid second place are the Seaquestria ponies and sets with 24%, followed by MLP The Movie GoH figures at 14%. The absolute bottom is for the new Fash'ems and Stack'ems figures who didn't get a single vote.

As soon as the My Little Pony Itty Bitty plush were released we got a horde of people asking why Rarity and Applejack weren't included. With thanks to Steven we now know that Hallmark is going to exclusively release them bundled with an upcoming Storybook, sometime in 2017, according to their 2017 wishlist.
We hope to learn more about the exact release date and pricing soon. We'll be sure to post any news around upcoming Itty Bitty plush on our blog.

Over at Target in the US you can now get the latest waves of the My Little Pony Squish Pops and Fash'ems figures by Tech4Kids. While we already had some info on the 6th wave of Fash'ems (which has the same figures as wave 5, but with a clear finish), the Series 4 release of the Squish Pops is completely new.
The latest wave of the small squishy figures introduces the first flocked figures and some new characters as well. Below we have more details on the included figures for each wave.
Thanks to Anto for the images!

Last week we asked you which figure of a MLP The Movie character you're going to get as soon as they hit the shelves. With a great leap Princess Skystar won this poll with over 31% of the votes, leaving the second place to Tempest Shadow with a small 20% of the votes. She's followed closely by Songbird Serenade with 16% and that leaves a big gap with the others. The least amount of people are looking forward to Stratus Skyranger, leaving him at the bottom of the polls with 6%.
