Over the past few weeks it was hard to miss on MLP Merch: McDonalds launched a new line of My Little Pony Happy Meal toys this month, themed after the Cutie Mark Crew. Because the availability differs from country to country we decided to write this post about the info that's currently available.
Below we've listed all countries from which we know the figures are available, including their release schedule (if known).
Not available in your country? You can always check eBay for online availability!

We had a little break, but we're back for another store finds post! This post features news from the US, Taiwan and Mexico. There are no huge releases during this period, but the "fall" releases of the 2018 MLP line might follow soon in countries like Singapore and The Philippines, so stay tuned for that!
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 been a while, but the My Little Pony sale at Zulily is back! For the coming 3 days you'll be able to get up to 45% off official MLP figures, books, clothing and other merch that's available at Zulily.
During this sale some more books and accessories have been added in comparison to the previous stock, so be sure to check out the complete list of items on sale. Below we have some highlights of what we think are interesting additions this time!
Note: If you're from outside the US, make sure you switch the country and currency (in the top-right menu) to US and dollars in order to see all items.

Just this week we got the official confirmation of all characters that will be featured in the 2018 MLP Happy Meal line at McDonalds and today we're able to share much better images of all figures with you!
Aside from more detail, we can now confirm what each ponies' gimmick will be: Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity have brushable hair and will come with a comb, Twilight Sparkle has a light-up horn, Starlight Glimmer can move her front legs, Rainbow Dash has moving wings and Spike (while looking a bit creepy) has moving eyes.
Right now South Korea, Italy, Austria and Russia have been confirmed to receive this line from the 25th of May. Some other countries, including the United States, are seeing games of Hasbro Gaming as the next Happy Meal line, meaning that the My Little Pony line will not be released there in May. This does not mean that the line will skip these countries, they can still be released at a later moment.
Thanks to Tomo for the images!

A week ago a Korean McDonalds teased upcoming My Little Pony Toys. Alongside was the image of a Cutie Mark Crew-styled Rainbow Dash. After that we had more reports of people spotting the advertisement such as Italy. Now a Russian add was spotted showing the upcoming figures and like expected: They are all Cutie Mark Crew themed!
Available will be the mane-six, plus Starlight Glimmer and Spike (who looks... odd) It's unsure which countries will receive this Happy Meal next month. I hope the Netherlands will be as well. I've compiled a list of confirmed countries below and I will edit it each time a new country is confirmed.
Thanks a lot to Tomo and Anon for the heads up!

List of confirmed countries:
- South Korea
- Italy
- Russia
- Austria

Amazon UK has listed quite an unexpected and exciting new set! The Cruising Cutie Mark Crusaders set to be exact and it contains the Cutie Mark Crusaders with molded manes and articulation. Scootaloo comes with her own scooter as well! But there are also some other accessories like a cart which can be attached to the scooter, and some in-line skates. Also, notice that Apple Bloom got the wrong eye-color on the loose product image photo's. However it's fixed with the in-packaging image so it's most likely a Prototype that was photographed.

It's finally confirmed: the long awaited Captain Celaeno figure from the Walmart-exclusive MLP The Movie line is available in stores! Also included in this post is the Meet the Mane 6 set, new releases from Mexico and some more photos of the Finders Keepers surprise eggs.

At Korean restaurants of McDonald's an ad is out to promote a new upcoming range of Happy Meal toys, featuring My Little Pony and Transformers. Much information is not included, but a release in June is mentioned,which isn't too far away. The ad shows a chibi version of Rainbow Dash, something that might indicate that the toy line will be based on the Cutie Mark Crew series, but this has not yet been confirmed.
Commonly we'll hear more about the upcoming line before the initial release, which might come from Korea, but we certainly expect more countries to join in on this new Happy Meal range.
More information hopefully following soon!

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!
