Last week we asked you about your plans for collection My Little Pony merch after G4 ends and G4 would start. Overall the collectors are relatively positive, with 34% going to continue and 54% will await whether they like the new generation or not. 9% would put their MLP collecting days to an end and 4% is keeping G5 as an option to actually start their collection.

No longer are the CMC, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity the only ponies that we are certain of to appear in a School of Friendship outfit: Over on eBay a listing appeared (two, actually) for a new Starlight Glimmer brushable that features a green school outfit.
The outfit consists of a top with the School of Friendship badge and what appears to be shoes with Starlight's Cutie Mark on it. Aside from the outfit she is pretty similar to her Runway Fashions release from last year.
We're still awaiting official information on the set in which the ponies will be released, but seeing so many becoming available on both Taobao and eBay we think it's not too long of a wait for packaging shots.

Last week we asked you which characters you would pick from the upcoming McDonald's line if you were only able to pick three. Starlight Glimmer got the most hearts on her side and is definitely the most popular character that will be asked for at the McDonald's counters the coming weeks. Aside from her Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and Applejack are pretty popular too. They're followed by Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Pinkie. Spike ended up with the lowest amount of votes, but that might not really come as a surprise after we saw the responses on social media regarding is peculiar design!

Today we got several reports of a Grubber Plush being spotted on Ebay. Not else was known at the moment like a manufacturer. I decided to do some research and found out there's a very high change he was made by Bandai Namco.
What's very interesting is that besides Grubber, there's apparently a Capper Plush as well and he looks adorable! But of course some of the main cast can't be left behind as well as there's also a Seapony Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. We also see Tempest Shadow who we first thought was actually made by Play-by-Play. However there's still a change that perhaps Bandai Licensed these plush from Play by Play as the regular Mane-Six Plush (which can been seen on their website) shares some similarities with their plush from several years ago.

On their website they sell a lot of arcade-like items like arcade games but also prize items like these plush. So it's very likely you can find these in several claw-machines. Some people already reported finding them inside claw-machines. Perhaps it's time to check out some of your local arcades or fun fairs as well? Let us know if you find any of them!

Two weeks ago (yes we skipped a week due to our holiday) we asked you which Cutie Mark Crusaders member was your favorite from the newly found School of Friendship set. The results are pretty close, but the winner was Sweetie Belle! She is closely followed by Apple Bloom and Scootaloo ended up in last place, but it's all very close.

It's been a while, but the My Little Pony sale at Zulily is back! For the coming 3 days you'll be able to get up to 45% off official MLP figures, books, clothing and other merch that's available at Zulily.
During this sale some more books and accessories have been added in comparison to the previous stock, so be sure to check out the complete list of items on sale. Below we have some highlights of what we think are interesting additions this time!
Note: If you're from outside the US, make sure you switch the country and currency (in the top-right menu) to US and dollars in order to see all items.

Just this week we got the official confirmation of all characters that will be featured in the 2018 MLP Happy Meal line at McDonalds and today we're able to share much better images of all figures with you!
Aside from more detail, we can now confirm what each ponies' gimmick will be: Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity have brushable hair and will come with a comb, Twilight Sparkle has a light-up horn, Starlight Glimmer can move her front legs, Rainbow Dash has moving wings and Spike (while looking a bit creepy) has moving eyes.
Right now South Korea, Italy, Austria and Russia have been confirmed to receive this line from the 25th of May. Some other countries, including the United States, are seeing games of Hasbro Gaming as the next Happy Meal line, meaning that the My Little Pony line will not be released there in May. This does not mean that the line will skip these countries, they can still be released at a later moment.
Thanks to Tomo for the images!

A week ago a Korean McDonalds teased upcoming My Little Pony Toys. Alongside was the image of a Cutie Mark Crew-styled Rainbow Dash. After that we had more reports of people spotting the advertisement such as Italy. Now a Russian add was spotted showing the upcoming figures and like expected: They are all Cutie Mark Crew themed!
Available will be the mane-six, plus Starlight Glimmer and Spike (who looks... odd) It's unsure which countries will receive this Happy Meal next month. I hope the Netherlands will be as well. I've compiled a list of confirmed countries below and I will edit it each time a new country is confirmed.
Thanks a lot to Tomo and Anon for the heads up!

List of confirmed countries:
- South Korea
- Italy
- Russia
- Austria

Amazon UK has listed quite an unexpected and exciting new set! The Cruising Cutie Mark Crusaders set to be exact and it contains the Cutie Mark Crusaders with molded manes and articulation. Scootaloo comes with her own scooter as well! But there are also some other accessories like a cart which can be attached to the scooter, and some in-line skates. Also, notice that Apple Bloom got the wrong eye-color on the loose product image photo's. However it's fixed with the in-packaging image so it's most likely a Prototype that was photographed.

It's finally confirmed: the long awaited Captain Celaeno figure from the Walmart-exclusive MLP The Movie line is available in stores! Also included in this post is the Meet the Mane 6 set, new releases from Mexico and some more photos of the Finders Keepers surprise eggs.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

At Korean restaurants of McDonald's an ad is out to promote a new upcoming range of Happy Meal toys, featuring My Little Pony and Transformers. Much information is not included, but a release in June is mentioned,which isn't too far away. The ad shows a chibi version of Rainbow Dash, something that might indicate that the toy line will be based on the Cutie Mark Crew series, but this has not yet been confirmed.
Commonly we'll hear more about the upcoming line before the initial release, which might come from Korea, but we certainly expect more countries to join in on this new Happy Meal range.
More information hopefully following soon!
(Thanks to Stinken and Reno Kim for the info)

Last week we asked you who your currently favorite pony from the mane 6 is, and compare the results to the last time we asked this, which was about 3.5 years ago. The first thing that we can see is that Twilight Sparkle jumped from place #4 to #1 in this year's results, and Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are more or less still as popular as before. Like Twilight, Applejack too got more popular, but Rarity saw the biggest decrease, and effectively switch placed with Twilight: from spot
1 to 4.
