Over at the Toy & Edu Fair in China, ReeSee revealed their line-up of My Little Pony G4 plush, which they are planning to release in May this year. Included are pony plush, plush bags, plush dolls, plush hangers, plush faces (inspired by Funko MyMoji?) and chibi plush that look like Cutie Mark Crew. The pony plush are designed by NKPlush (known from Symbiote Studio).
