Personally, one thing that tells me it's finally spring again is when all the theme parks open up their gates again. I love theme parks! Especially roller coasters. Too bad most of them are too intense for Ossie. Anyway to stay in the whole theme park theme. Amazon has listed the Equestria Girls Minis Singles for the Theme Park Collection.

Kotobukiya's original announcement of the Bishoujo Pinkie Pie statue already teased about a complete line, and this week we got the confirmation that there will at least be a second statue in the series! On a Japanese blog's Twitter an image was shared showing that Twilight Sparkle won a poll for who the second figure would become. According to sources, the poll consisted of both mane 6 and non mane-6 ponies.
As seen in the image above, no further information is available on the design or release of the new figure. In fact, we're still waiting for addition info on Pinkie Pie, so we need to keep our patience a bit longer for these very promising figures!
Thanks to Ayu for the info!

This week we're happy to report more international news, including findings from Mexico, Poland and Russia. We've got news on the Equestria Girls Reboot Dolls, new drink bottle surprise figures and... a My Little Pony stepping stone?
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

This week we've got quite a varied Store Finds post with news about books, Equestria Girls, Easter Eggs and more. We're also happy to see some more news from Canada and Singapore and of course the US.

Around a week ago we learned about the Snap On Fashions Rainbow Dash fashion style figure that would complete the new mane 6 set with interchangeable clothes. The original announcement only included a picture of Rainbow Dash's gala dress, but the second dress wasn't visible. At the NY Toy Fair we got a glimpse of the packaging, but not a clear enough view for her second outfit.
But, surprise surprise, she's already listed online! Detmir has all 6 ponies listed, and Rainbow Dash is shown in her complete alternate dress-up! The purple dress and gold accents combines nicely with her accessories.
However, we did notice something odd: The NYTF figure was packaged in a MLP:FiM themed box, whereas this listing has a MLP the Movie logo on it. Was this figure perhaps planned to be released last year?
Thanks to Tomo for the heads-up!

Welcome back to our yearly megapost on everything My Little Pony at the New York Toy Fair, which started last weekend. This year the My Little Pony stand differed quite a lot from the previous year, as there's almost no mention of MLP The Movie anymore, while it's only a few months after the release in theaters. Instead the focus for this year is cute & chibi: Cutie Mark Crew figures, cute plush and Equestria Girls Minis vinyls will see their debut this year, as well as the continuation of the Equestria Girls reboot. In the brushables department we see the first merch for the new season pop-up, plenty of fashion style ponies and the release of new molded mane figures.
As mentioned in previous editions, we were not able to attend the toy fair ourselves, and are using photos of people that shared them online. All photo credits can be found at the bottom of the post.

Note: Some announcements contain spoilers for season 8 characters and themes. If you do not wish to read any spoilers for the upcoming season, please skip the brushables section.
Previous editions: 2014, 2015, 2016 & 2017

While we were all focusing on the Toy Fair in New York, over in Japan at the Wonderful Festival a completely different announcement regarding My Little Pony merch was made: Kotobukiya is partnering with Hasbro to create actual Bishoujo statues! Directly during the convention they also put out an official statement and better image on their Facebook page confirming Shunya Yamashita as the illustrator and more figures from My Little Pony and GI Joe coming too.

The teaser images shows a highly detailed Equestria Girls Pinkie Pie, but also a regular pony version of her. It's unknown if these will be combined in a single figure, or if both will be released as separate statues. Personally I wouldn't mind either option!

At the time of writing no further information on release dates, prices or actual product designs is known. But once the release is inbound, there's some good news for oversees fans: The statues of Kotobukiya are usually well available outside of Japan.

Thanks to Ayu, Amanda & shadowcat456 for the heads-up!

This week we're doing things a bit differently in the store finds post. We've got quite a lot of submits, and instead of splitting it by the person who submitted the news, we're dividing the post per store. This way it's a bit easier to see which sets were found in every store.

Only two days ago we reported on the Blind Bag box of Cutie Mark Crew figures, which is going to be a fresh reboot of the My Little Pony blind bag series. While the box was nice and clear, the 24 included characters were only available in a rather small resolution. Luckily we've now managed to get detailed images of some of these blind bags! Above and below we have the pony versions of Applejack, Fluttershy and Shining Armor, Equestria Girls Rarity and a better look at the blind bag/box/container. So far we couldn't spot a code on the container, but it might be on the other side.

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.
