Those who've followed us for some years now, might remember that time where we bought some MLP Trading Cards from China. For us this was the first time we heard of the brand Kayou and if you read our review, they made some pretty cool cards!

Well, turns out they even make more than just cards as appareantly they had a presentation last Friday where they display some new upcoming products. And not just cards, but beautiful figures and acrylic standees as well! Included are figures that also serve as a card stand, a very nice dynamic Princess Celestia and we can even expect some figures of characters we don't see getting much merch: Discord and Mistmane. 

Aside of the figures we can also see several Acrylic products such as acrylic cards, and some very cute sweet inspired standeed. We hope these will be available soon! For now you can visit their official website which has links to some of their official stores, or you can get them on Aliexpress once they hit. Do let us know if they do!

Thanks to Tomo for the heads up!

We used to post about new My Little Pony releases from Mighty Jaxx about two to three times a year. Lately it has been quite with relevant news (they still have a lot pretty releases!), with the latest addition being Rainbow Dash by Ricardo Cavolo.

We're a bit late with the news on this new set by Pop Mart, but we still wanted to get the news out there, especially since they are available internationally now. If you haven't seen this set yet, or didn't know they can be found on Amazon yet, then read on!

 Today I've spotted a very interesting new set on Shopee/Taobao: These adorable Crystal Blocks figures by MGL Toys. They seem to be modeled after the Cutie Mark Cew line and included are the whole Mane Six together with spike. Every figure comes in it's own box with the picture on the front showing you which character you'll be getting. So no blind boxes! No dimensions for the figures itself are listed but the boxes are 11 cm/4.3 inches tall so I expect the figures to be around 3 inches.

The listing we managed to found has them listed for RM59.90 which is about $14 USD however this is with the current 49% sale. Their normal price is around $27 USD You can find the listing here!

A rather surprising new line of MLP figures was just spotted on eBay. As it appears, blind bag collectible brand Hello Miniworld released a set with 9 Equestria Girls-like My Little Pony figures in China this month.

 

Almost every year McDonalds releases a My Little Pony-themed set in their Happy Meals. 2022 is no exception, however, this year we got something different:

Instead of this years figures being just My Little Pony, this year it's a crossover with the Potato Head line. You can get Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash as a Potato Head toy and you'll be able to swap their body parts such as their hair and bodies. Alongide My Little Pony, Transformer toys are also available.

So far these have been spotted at McDonalds UAE (United Arab Emirates) with Pinkie Pie being available last week and this week it's Rainbow Dash. It's unsure if other Middle Eastern Countries carry this promotion as well and if other countries in the rest of the world will also get these. If you spot them please let us know!

Thanks a lot to Nyaton for the heads up!

As promised in the release post we would do a review on the latest Pop Mart x My Little Pony series, Leisure Afternoon, and here it is! We'll keep it a bit shorter than our Natural Series review, as the ordering process differed hugely this time, and some aspects are the same as before.

Licensed merchandise manufacturer Pyramid America recently announced a new set of framed My Little Pony posters to be released in March, featuring G1 and G4 artwork not frequently used in merch.

Whereas the first set was only available on Chinese marketplaces for several weeks, the new My Little Pony figures by Pop Mart are already listed and available on Amazon! And that just 1 day after the official start of sales in China, according to the earlier annoucement.

One of the more popular figures to be released last year was Pop Mart's Natural Series. We even reviewed some of them ourselves and really enjoyed them! Turns out that a new series will be released very, very soon!

According to Pop Mart's official WeChat, the 28th of January will be the release date of the brand new Leisure Afternoon Series. This time the members of the Mane Six are displayed enjoying relaxing drinks and treats. This time all of the Mane Six will receive two figures and the chase figure for this series is Princess Cadance. 

Starting January 28 they will be available at Popmart local stores and Tmall shops in China, or the official store on AliExpress which also means they should be able to order internationally. One box will cost about 12 USD with the full set being 130 USD.

Have all the images from the WeChat below. Many thanks to RDB for the heads up!

This fall Mighty Jaxx did a 180 in regards to their My Little Pony figures: from partly dissected ponies to the cute Kwistal Fwenz. There was a little delay in the delivery, but we finally received our review box (thanks Mighty Jaxx!) and can take a look at this brand new line of collectible figures.

Know that the $10 off $100 offer in the Mighty Jaxx store is still available! All you need to do is create an account with this referral link (we'll also receive a small kickback).

We had to wait more than a month but from today on you can now order the brand new adorable Kwistal Fwenz Figures by Mighty Jaxx! Each figure is chibi-shaped with their manes resembling crystal, each pony is also addorned with a small accessoiry like Rainbow Dashes goggles and Applejack's apples. This series also contains a chase figure which is Twilight Sparkle with Celestia's color scheme. When you purchase a case of six you'll have the chance to get this rare version of Twilight.

Sometimes we are teased for months before a new set is released, but this time we have quite the opposite: at Target the first My Little Pony Secret Rings series 2 blind bags have been spotted, before we got any official listings!

The responses on the new Kwistal Fwenz range that Mighty Jaxx is planning to release this month have been very positive so far! Today we can share some more detailed photos on these figures with you, including that of the chase figure.

Aside from that Entertainment Earth has also listed the Pinfinity Augmented Reality Pins which we made a detailed blogpost about a few months ago. If you want to learn more about these I would recommend reading that post too since it has some nice information about how the pins work.

People who've been chasing the Natural Series by Pop Mart can soon find them at a western retailer: Entertainment Earth has announced to ship the figures and accepts pre-orders now.

After releasing limited editions of Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle in 2020 it's now time for a limited-run version of the Fluttershy bishoujo statue, which was announced earlier today on Kotobukiya's own Twitter.

Aside from all the G5 news, one of our most popular posts from the past months has to be the Pop Mart MLP Natural Series reveal. Personally we were really curious to take a closer look at these new blind boxes from China, from a brand we weren't familiar with. That's why we decided to order some and create a review!

Toys'R'Us Singapore has listed a second wave of the Budget Pony Friend figures. The first wave includes Fizzleshake, Gusty, Princess Cadance, Rarity, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. This new one seems to include the whole mane six however, the description of this listing is saying something else...
