The first magazine from September are currently being released around Europe, which contains a free Glory (pirate) Fluttershy magazine figure. Something else that is always of interest in these magazine is the announcement for the next figure!
This month Bulgaria got the prime release and of course the next figure is again MLP the Movie themed: Princess Skystar is next! As usual these figures are from Egmont and closely follow the style from the series (or movie in this case).
We do expect more countries to get a new magazine any time soon, and it'll be an interesting one, because we've also seen announcements for a Tempest Shadow figure in some countries in stead of Princess Skystar, so let's see if they're still planning to do so!
Thanks to Leader Pony for the info!

While the France My Little Pony magazine is getting a Tempest Shadow figure in October, the Polish magazine is already giving a new figure next month: a (pirate) Glory Fluttershy figure, also from MLP The Movie. It's a bit odd that two magazines hand out announcements for two different months and figures, but perhaps there has been a mistake and both France and Poland do get a Fluttershy figure next month.
In anyway, what do you think of this figure choice? Would you have rather seen an MLP The Movie exclusive figure for both month, or are you excited for this Flutershy?
Thanks to kuco for the info & MiniJusta for translation!

We've lacked behind a bit with MLP magazine news, but we've got a great update: The upcoming magazine will feature a unique Tempest Shadow figure! Of course this is still only with the European magazines like those released in the UK, France, Poland, Germany and The Netherlands.
And because we've missed an update, we'd also like to let you know that current magazines should still include a Pinkie Pie with clown nose (see below).
Thanks to Tomo for the Tempest Shadow info and Neptune for the Pinkie Pie photo!

I'm not sure whether they're running out of ideas or this is one of the most requested figures, but the current wave of Polish, French and UK MLP Magazines features a Rarity figure with sunglasses! When comparing the figure with the original Rarity figure from 2014 we do see a new approach at the mane and tail molding, so it's in no means a direct copy of the early release.
The magazine is at least released in Poland, the UK, France and several other European countries that normally sell magazines with the figures. Here in The Netherlands we're still waiting for a new issue, but that should be out this month.

Hasbro has given the license for official My Little Pony magazine publisher in The Netherlands to Big Balloon publishing, after the deal with Panini ended earlier this year.
The shift to Big Balloon means that the contents of the magazine will change and perhaps the biggest bonus of all: the famous MLP Magazine Figures will now also be released in The Netherlands, starting with Flurry Heart in the April issue.
According to Hasbro Benelux the magazine will be available at large bookstore chains like Bruna, AKO and Primera as well as several supermarkets.
At this moment we're only aware of a shift in licensee for The Netherlands, but other European countries might follow. Do note that this is another magazine release than the recently announced US magazine series.

This week we've got a very international store finds post with photos from the US, UK, Ireland, Singapore and Poland! We see a few first-time release merch as well as some merch that has now been confirmed to be available in other countries, so head on down and read all about it!
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

After the Baby Flurry Heart figure, who got very mixed responses from collectors, the next figure to be bundled with the MLP Magazine is a Rainbow Dash figure in Wonderbolts outfit. This is the first time Egmont decided to go with an alternative outfit for the included figure instead of a new character. Later this year they will get a bigger pool of popular characters with the release of My Little Pony The Movie, so hopefully we'll see some more characters towards that day.
The announcement seen above is for the German magazine, but usually other countries with the same magazine receive the figure around the same time.
Thanks to Nora4 for the image!

Over in France the MLP Magazine is now bundled with a free Baby Flurry Heart figure. This was already announced back in December, but we now have some proper images of the actual figure!
The figure looks decent (especially since it's free), but according to the submitter Flurry Heart is a bit wobbly and it's hard to keep her from falling over (well it is still a foal, after all).
The next magazine figure in France will be Spike. Other European MLP Magazine might also receive the Baby Flurry Heart this month, but we've not heard of any other finds yet.

Talking about magazine figures, did you know that you can see all released magazine figures in our MLP Merch Database?

Thanks to Neptune for the info!

The MLP magazines will continue to release pony figures by Egmont as freebies in 2017. One of the last magazines included erasers instead of a figure, but this was just a side step for the magazine. In February the French magazine will debut with a Baby Flurry Heart figure.
As usual the figures are very close to their show-counterparts, and this is the same with Baby Flurry Heart: the figures Hasbro released are in no way as accurate as the one Egmont has created here.
Fans of the figures, magazine or Baby Flurry Heart can pick up the magazine in February (note that not every country sells the magazines with figures).
Thanks to Neptune for the info!

The next Magazine Figure, at least for Russia, that will be available is Spike! By now Egmont has released most of the more popular and often seen characters, so it's always a surprise which figure will be released next, but it's true that we still missed Spike.
I have no idea when the next issue will be released, but be sure to be on the lookout for the new issue once it's out!
Thanks to Tomo and Konrad for the info!
