One of the biggest My Little Pony figure hits from 2020 were the Hidden Dissectibles ponies. These blind bags featured unique My Little Pony sculpts with half dissected ponies. Many people wanted to see more ponies in this same style, and they have been heard: Mighty Jaxx just announced their second series of My Little Pony Hidden Dissectibles!
Update: Series 2 Hidden Dissectibles are now available! Check our review for all details or get them directly at Mighty Jaxx (you can use our referal link for $10 off $100)

Let's start the year with some big news: Cheerilee is the next pony at Build-a-Bear. It was a bit quiet around BAB with Sunset Shimmer being released last year. Just like the other ponies she will be released with a cape as well. Although she's listed as non available on the website right now. With the exception of the UK plush + clothes set. But the loose pony is listed as n/a as well... She should be available very soon as we have the listings. But we'll let you know when she is.
Have the listings and other info 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.

With the two brushable Best Gift Ever sets being available now we only had one set left: The Blind Boxes. But Amazon listed this set today and we get a look at all the included figures in this set! The set consist of the Mane-six and some familiar characters. As you can see they all have a pearlized look with the exception of the Mane-six who have glitter inside of them. I'll write a list down below of the ponies included. Sadly, we don't know the codes for these yet. (if there are any)

Right now you can find a huge sale over on our MLP Tee Store on TeePublic with t-shirts for $14 and tons of other discounted items! Just for the occasion Ilona added 6 new neon designs of the Mane 6 Cutie Marks, as well as several other designs that have recently been added.
Aside from clothing you can also find wall art, mugs and phone cases in our MLP Tee Store.

At the first announcement, only two weeks ago, we've read tons of positive responses on the Cutie Mark Crew series that Hasbro will introduce this year. After a bit of digging we managed to get more information about the first set of blind bags that will be released alongside the 5-packs. And not just any bit of info, but the complete line-up for wave 1 + box design!
The Cutie Mark Crew blind bags line continues with the regular 24 characters per box, but this time you'll get either a pony, seapony or Equestria Girl. In all three categories the mane 6 is featured, but one is missing: a seapony Rarity is not included. This first wave, which is named 'Cafeteria Cuties', the totals come up at 12 ponies, 5 seaponies and 7 Equestria Girls.
Every character comes with a unique accessory and a 'home' in which they fit, and these can be stacked on top of each other to easily store and display your collection of Cutie Mark Crew figures.
Below we have the list of characters that will be included in the first wave, which is expected to be released in May of 2018. Also listed is the official description for this new line of blind bags.

Around the middle of December we made a massive post on new items that were listed on Amazon, but were not in stock yet. Right at the start of 2018 loads of these items were delivered to Amazon's warehouses and are now available! Not everything is available right away (for example the Applejack keychain), most most of them are.
In addition to these status changes, we also saw two new keychain plush: Cheerilee and Starlight Glimmer! All listings and images can be found below.

Some great announcements by Entertainment Earth today! Above we start directly with a new wave of brushables, including the first Songbird Serenade single brushable, which will not be a Target exclusive, and new All About brushables from Rainbow Dash, Cheerilee and Pinkie Pie. And by the way, this is the same Pinkie Pie as the one being released in the HASCON MLP Box, so it turns out to not be an exclusive figure.
