After the well-hidden announcement on the South African Facebook page of My Little Pony, we finally found more information on these figures at a Swiss toy store. The line will be called "Pony Friends", and contain more than just the Rarity, Sunset Shimmer and Princess Cadance figures from the teaser.

Back in August we learned that the line of My Little Pony Bishoujo statues would not end with the mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer, but that Princess Luna and Princess Celestia were going to be added. Now, just before the end of the year, Kotobukiya reveals the final (unpainted) sculpt design for both of the human versions. They also show the final human + pony version of Princess Luna separately, and we expect them to share the pony design of Princess Celestia soon.

 

About a month ago we reported that a listing had been found for a Best Hair Day Princess Cadance figure. At that time we had no idea what the figure would look like. Not long ago images started to surface of the Smashin Fashion line which was listed at the same time as the Best Hair Day one. I expected that this one would be similar to those but I was wrong!

A new listing has appeared on several sites revealing a new line of Blind Bags: Secret Rings. Whereas the previous one was all about potions, this one is about Gemstone themed ponies. Each box contains one ring and one pony, judging from the packaging and description these ponies are covered with paint. (or wax) and you're supposed to rinse them off and thus, your pony will be revealed.

In terms of design these have a very different look compared to their potion counterparts with these ponies having a gemstone-themed design. They are very abstract and geometric, something I personally quite like.

 

A new set from the Smashin Fashion line has been spotted, and this time on Amazon.
This two-pack features DJ Pon-3 and Pinkie Pie who both come with multiple dresses and other accessories, . We'll now also have official descriptions for these sets as well and they state that they can be displayed on both 2 and 4 legs, so thats pretty cool in my opinion.

The set is listed for $19.99 and currently in stock as well. You can find the listing below as well as more images and the official description.
Thanks to SLPhotos for the heads up!

About two weeks ago we posted about new listings that had been spotted on Toywiz talking about Smashin Fashion figures. Today Entertainment Earth has also added these listings, but together with images as well! It turns out this a new line/set for G4 after Reveal the Magic. Three characters are included at the moment: Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. However in terms of design they now have an Anthropomorphic look and each of them also comes with clothing and (hidden) accessories. Judging from the packaging you're supposed to blow-up the bag and then smash it to reveal the accessories inside. It might also be possible to bend the figures in such a way that they resemble actual ponies. A listing for a Party Bus also has appeared but that one doesn't have images yet.

Get dressed with the My Little Pony Smashin' Fashion Mini-Figures! Each articulated figure includes bows, outfits, and other fun accessories to customize for your very own.

• Smashin Fashion Rainbow Dash Mini-Figure - $9.99
• Smashin Fashion Sunset Shimmer Mini-Figure - $9.99
• Smashin Fashion Twilight Sparkle Mini-Figure - $9.99
• Smashin Fashion Party Bus - $19.99
• Smashin Fashion  Mini-Figure Case - $31.99

It's Black Friday again, which means deals in every category imaginable. My Little Pony is no exception, so if you're still looking for certain figures or merch, this is the time to hunt for price drops.

To save you some time, we've collected some of the bigger price drops on Amazon, and crated an easy auto-updated idea list for them. We'll add more products towards Cyber Monday in the same list as more deals become available. Update: several Amazon exclusive My Little Pony sets are on sale and have been added to the the list!

There has been quite a unique announcement in Japan this week on JapanPonyCon by Know Idea, who we never heard of before. With their distribution partner Sega Toys (who are licensed by Hasbro) they're planning on releasing three Equestria Girls Friends Forever acrylic character stands, based on the original concept artwork of Rita Lux.

If the artworks looks familiar, you're absolutely right, simailar concept drawings have been used on the packaging of the Equestria Girls reboot series, as well as some Fashion Squad figures.

We're back with another store finds post! After the pre-order announcements from Mighty Jaxx and Funko it's time to take a look what's all available right now. There's quite a variety of items in this post, ranging from ornaments to scented plush and Kinder 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.

It's only a short week after the official announcement of the new Funko POP! retro My Little Pony figures, and we just got word that pre-orders are now available, including a Hot Topic and GameStop exclusive!

In total there are 6 regular-size Funko POP! figures and 2 keychains, all themed after G1 ponies. Blossom, Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, Minty, and Snuzzle will be generally available, while Blue Belle will be released as a Hot Topic exclusive, and a scented Cotton Candy will only be sold at GameStop. Blossom and Cotton Candy will also be released as smaller POP! keychains.

(Even though the Funko announcement says otherwise, Hot Topic and GameStop list their exclusives as is written in this post)

After the popularity of the Freeny's Hidden Dissectibles MLP figures, the first addition is already coming soon.. in fact, tomorrow! Yes on 11/18/2020 Mighty Jaxx will add the XXRay Plus Princess Celestia to their site. Just like the other figures she has a unique dissected/x-ray design to show you both the inside and outside of her. Combined with glittery mane and tail there's plenty of detail to look at.

At first I thought this was a second design, but no, apparently this is the first time Egmont made a Sunset Shimmer magazine figure! Yes we had Twilight Sparkle 3 times, Trixie twice and even Starburst, but this is the first Sunset Shimmer since the line of figures started back in 2014.

New listings have appeared on ToyWiz and with these listings at least one thing will be confirmed, and that's Sunset Shimmer will indeed be released as a figure. The listings are for a set called Best Hair Day which includes Princess Cadance (and maybe another pony since it mentions it's a 2-pack) if that's the case it could be that perhaps Rarity is included as we saw a promo earlier with Princess Cadance having Rarity's hair... perhaps you can mix and match hairstyles?

About two months ago a leak has appeared telling us that possible G1 Funko Pop Figures were on the way, this has now been confirmed as the first images have appeared. The images are actually from a video made by Funko Themselves (My Little Pony Part Starts at 14:10, you can find the video below)

Perhaps these were just some prototypes/mock-ups and they will never be released. Perhaps they are customs/mock-ups judging that Princess Cadance has the same hair as Rarity. But that seems very unlikely to me, especially when you look at the eyes which do look pretty real if you compare them with the official releases. (They have that "print" texture if that makes sense.) And at last, it would be kinda weird for an official MLP Page to post customs/mock-ups. I think we just have to wait and see but as usual, we'll keep you updated. 
 

One of the most popular post from this year was the announcement of the My Little Pony figures in the Freeny's Hidden Dissectibles line back in august. With many thanks to Mighty Jaxx we received a box with all items in the line-up, including the apparel, so we can give you a thorough review of this unique My Little Pony merch series.

Aside from the review we're also able to offer you $10 off $100 in the Mighty Jaxx store with this referral link (we'll also receive a small kickback).

Over the past few months we've been working on a secret project, and we're happy to finally share this with you: as of today our newest website Nendoroid Heaven is online!

While we're already in the fall, and Halloween and Thanksgiving are approaching, we're still not seeing a lot of new releases in stores. Nevertheless we've compiled all the latest My Little Pony store finds for you (and there's still plenty to show you)!
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

About a month after the reveal of the finished statue, the Sunset Shimmer Bishoujo Statue by Kotobukiya is now available for pre-order! She's $109.99 USD and will be released in April 2021. Kotobukiya has also shared some more detailed shots of the figure itself and just like the others, she looks absolutely stunning! 

Have the pre-order listings below as well as the official description and more pictures of the statue itself.

• Kotobukiya Official Website - $109.99

A few months ago stock images were revealed of Peggy Mane and Right Hoof Red. Also known as the Lite Brite and Twister Ponies. It has been a while we've heard anything about these two, but it turns out they have been found in stores! These two have been found at Toys'R'Us Canada for $16.99 CAD each. It's interesting to note that the price tag mentions "Retro Mash-Up Assortment". Makes me wonder if we'll see more retro crossovers aside from these and the Crossover Collection...

Every year Hallmark designs plenty of new licensed ornaments for their yearly catalogue, and for as long as I can remember since we started MLP Merch, they've been making My Little Pony ornaments too. Both in their top line of keepsake ornaments, like this year's G1 Applejack, and regular Christmas ornaments.

Do you remember the Fashion Squad Minty figure from a while back? It has actually been 8 months since this figure was first found online. Back then we thought it was just a matter of weeks before the release, but it appears to have been over half a year.

Almost exactly a month ago Kotobukiya sent out loads of information on upcoming statues. Biggest news was of course the announcement of the Princess Luna and Princess Celestia statues, but among the other images that were shared was also this limited edition Twilight Sparkle bishoujo statue.

A Brazilian website has listed stock images for the upcoming G4.5 Budget Styling Ponies which we posted about several months ago. In terms of size, these ones are the same size as their Potion Dress-Up releases minus all the accessories. The characters included in this release are Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. It's unsure if Applejack, Fluttershy or Rarity will be released as well.

An Instagram account dedicated to Funko Pop has posted a leak containing a lists of upcoming Funko Pop's. What's interesting is that this list also includes upcoming Retro Pony Pop's. These figures are all part of the original six collector ponies. (with the exception of Blue Belle who is absent for some reason.) The following figures will be released:

A Greek toystore named Toys-Shop has listed something interesting. The website has listed single versions of the Retro Rainbow Mane 6 set that was released last year. The figures appear to be the same as their multipack releases. However as for now we were only able to find listing for Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. It's unclear if Fluttershy and Rarity will also be released. (Though it seems a bit strange if they don't) 

Just before the (expected) new wave of MLP figures and sets will be released on the shelves, we're posting the backlog of stores finds still left in our mailbox and social media channels. The biggest news right now is of course the first finds of the second Potion Surprise blind packs, which we'll start with. Below is more My Little Pony news from around the world.

We have lots of Kotobukiya news this morning! During their Kotobukiya Summer Expo livestream they revealed the next two statues for the My Little Pony Bishoujo statues line: Princess Luna and Princess Celestia, and the artwork for these already looks incredible! Can't wait to see what the statues themselves will look like. 

Every now and then the European MLP magazines include a figure, and it's been a while since the last issue with a freebie figure, but now we have the confirmation that Egmont will bundle a new figure with the August issue in Hungary.

We have some very cool figures coming soon! In fact these will be released in two days to be exact. I'm talking about these awesome Freeny's Hidden Dissectibles by Might Jaxx. They are part of their xxray universe line which features fan favorite characters in such a way that half of their body is like an x-ray. So you can see their skeleton, and several of their organs. It sounds perhaps a bit weird but I personally really like the look of these. Both the MLP ones and the already existing ones like Catdog.

All six members of the mane six will be released together with three variants: A translucent Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle and a Rainbow Dash with Wonderbolt costume. They are 4 inches tall (10 centimeters) and one box will be $12.99. 

After a period of many updates at the start of the summer, info on new ponies have been lacking in the past two weeks. We also suffered a heat wave here, but glad to be back in normal temperatures and ready to post new My Little Pony findings for you!

A new Reveal the Magic Blind Bag set has been spotted at Toys'R'Us Canada. This brand new set is called the Pony Pet Friends Set and it comes with a total of 12 figures. Each member of the mane six is present alongside their pets: Angel, Gummy,  Opalescence, Owlicious, Tank and Winona. Each pet also comes with a horn just like their potion blind bags counterparts. All Blind Bags are also translucent.

Over at Walmart they're clearing up space (hopefully for the fall 2020 line-up) and a result of this is the Magical Potion Surprise blind bags/packs being offered for only $.75 each!
