It's been a bit quiet on MLP Merch lately, and that's not all down to the fact that there isn't much to report on: We're working very hard to get the biggest update of MLP Merch ever ready for release next week!
Followers of our Twitter might have spotted some teasers hinting on the release, and we're now so close to a release that we'd very much like to share with you what's going on. To get the biggest change out in the open: we're adding the classic G1, G2 and G3 ponies to the database! This allows everyone to finally get a complete checklist and wishlist of ponies outside of just G4 ponies and merch.
Aside from this we're also adding a long awaited feature to the database, namely that of adding personal notes to ponies. Through this way you can keep note of how many ponies you own, if there's anything missing from a set or to keep track of where you bought a pony from.
And there's more that will we added next week, so keep an eye out for the release next week!

We hope that you understand our current lack of posts in favor of this update and are looking forward to the release next week. We'll keep you posted!

Entertainment Earth has listed a new set on their website: The "Royal Ponies of Equestria" Set to be exact. This set contains the three Princesses Cadance, Celestia and Luna. None of them have any gimmicks but each comes with a crown/tiara. Also, this is one of the first releases for Celestia in her reboot-mold with fully solid-colored wings. According to the description they are a great set for those new to collecting (G4) My Little Pony.

It's not just San Diego that has its own comic convention! From 4 till 7 October the New York Comic Con will be back for the 2018 edition, and this year we get to see an awesome convention exclusive! No, it's not a figure, but we get a 35th Anniversary enamel pin set featuring the My Little Pony '83 logo and the retro designs Twilight Sparkle and Applejack. These are an addition to the pins released at the SDCC this year (seen below).

Remember the Stack'ems? These were Tech4Kids' (now Basic Fun) take to rival Disney's Tsum Tsum stackable figures. Back in 2016 they were announced at the Toy Fair, only to be released a whole year later. This year they announced their second series of Stack'em figures, but got overshadowed by Hasbro's own stackable figures: the Cutie Mark Crew blind packs.
Despite that, Basic Fun has continued their promised line-up of Series 2 Stack'em figures, which can now be found at Walmart. There's a total of 12 figures to collect: Cheerilee, DJ Pon-3, Muffins/Derpy, Octavia, Princess Luna and Spike. All in both regular and clear versions.
Thanks to @mlp.collection for the photo!

First of all we'd like to give a very big and kind thanks to Amberley Publishing for giving us the opportunity to make our book reality!

Remember our post on the first of April this year? We kept everyone in doubt on whether the announcement was a joke or reality, but today we can finally reveal the answer to you: it's real, and it's coming next month!

(First I would like to point out that all of the information is translated as the original text in Taiwanese. I don't know how accurate Google Translate is at the moment. But if you spot any incorrect info let me know!)

It's been a little while since our last Store Finds post, mainly due to the large project that we're working on for MLP Merch (be sure to mark October 1st on your calendar!), but that doesn't mean there's nothing new in stores! Well, actually, we didn't get a lot of reports the past few weeks, so the post isn't too large, though we did hear from Sweden and Germany again this time.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Since MLPMerch will be an all-gen website soon I think it's right to also start blogging about any new "retro merch". Australian Dollar-Store The Reject Shop is now selling some awesome Twice-as-Fancy Pony Items. Items range from plates, mugs, placemats, lunch boxes and much more! The ponies featured on the designs are Love Melody, Sugarberry and Sweet Tooth.

An interesting new set has been spotted by Instagram user minisensmlp This set is called the "School of Friendship Mane Stage" and comes with Princess Cadance, Rarity and Baby Flurry Heart (who has more painted details than her previous releases.
This set was spotted at a Swedish Food Market called Ica Maxi and cost 249 SEK which roughly translates to $28 USD. Information about an US release us currently unknown sadly. We hope we can provide more news about that later.

Interesting new for those who have the Egmont My Little Pony Magazines. The newest issue comes with Starlight Glimmer + a Removable Saddlebag. This release of Starlight Glimmer is also different in terms of her mane as it's the current hairstyle she has in the show.

Two days ago it was revealed that there was a second Birthday Set exclusive to Toys'R'Us. And now it's already been listed on the Canadian Toys'R'Us Website!
We get a clearer look at what's included including the secret figure! Turns out one of my guesses was correct as it's Gummy! This set is listed online for $22.47 CAD which is about $17 USD
Have the listing and more below!
