Kayou Releases Collectible MLP Tickets and Posters
Mighty Jaxx Kwistal Gala Series Coming June 26th
When we saw Mighty Jaxx their stand at the 2024 Spielwarenmesse it was clear that a new series of Kwistal Fwenz was in the works. After a bit of a wait the new series is now finally listed on their website, showing all details of the upcoming set of 7 ponies, including their release date!
Kayou to release new MLP cards, figures and more!
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!
Mighty Jaxx Teases New Kwistal Fwenz Series at Spielwarenmesse UPDATE

Pop Mart MLP Pretty Me Up Series Now Available on Amazon

New My Little Pony Crystal Block Figures by MGL Toys
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!

New Potato Head x My Little Pony Figures at McDonalds UAE
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!
