Entertainment Earth has started accepting pre-orders for the new Kurt Adler MLP Christmas Ornaments we posted on recently. The pre-orders include the Derpy and Doctor Whooves ornaments and newly added Christmas lights for both Fluttershy and Derpy and Doctor Whooves. Below the cut we have a list of all ornaments currently up for pre-order with links to the listings:

After a short wait Toys"R"Us has started selling the Ponymania Collection and Forever Friends blind bag set this week. The Forever Friends set is sold for $19.99 and we don't know the price of the Ponymania Collection yet (can you help us out?). We've also seen some people finding the Photo Finish Ponymania pony at Toys"R"Us, but it's also available online (both for $9.99). Thanks to equestria_girls and Fadedglitter for images and info.

Nici has revealed there new My Little Pony Collection! They announced this set in their new catalog. Seems like this collection will focus on Rainbow Dash, previously they had a Fluttershy Collection, with plush, keychains etc. Seems like this collection also comes with some cute things!

- A Sitting Rainbow Dash plush, these will come in 3 sizes. 20, 30 and 40 centimeters. The smallest one will be 18 euro's and the biggest one have a pricetag of 38 euro's. This collection will also have a bank, a pillow, a set with plates and a mug and a travel case.

This collection will be from sale starting the 35th week this year. Which will be the 25th of August. Kinda of a bummer, since Ossie and I both stay in Germany but we return back to the Netherlands 1-2 weeks before.

The plushies we posted about a few hours ago aren't as mysterious as we thought. With the thanks of Tomo, we now know that the manufacturer of these plushies is called Plush Apple. And with the help of google translate, we managed to find a goldmine of merchandise produced by them.
While 'plush' is in their company name, they don't stick to just plushies, as you will find out shortly.
All of this merch has currently only been spotted in Russia. It's unsure if they are (or ever will be) available in other countries.

Russian toy wholesaler Begemott has listed 'Plush Apple' light-up plushies on their website. They are combined with a brush, and according to the listing, they will light up when you brush their hair. The complete mane 6 got a plushie. We have no further information on the producer (the listing says 'Hasbro GT') or any releases outside of Russia.
Thanks to Tomo for the info!
UPDATE: Manufacturer is called 'Plush Apple', we've compiled a post on all their current merchandise. We've also added a picture of how the plushies light up exactly.

Jetpack hasn't released any exclusive Friendship is Magic covers since #16, but is now back with 2 covers for both Friendship is Magic #21 and Friend Forever #7! Both covers feature a colored and sketch variant (now called black and white). The covers match with each other, something that both Jetpack Comics and Larry's Comics do regularly.
You can see the sketch variants below the cut:

Entertainment Earth has put images of the Fluttershy Doll and Pony set packaging online on her pre-order page. We already had images of the set, but this is the first time she appears online as pre-order and images of the final packaging. We expect images of the Octavia doll and pony set online soon, since they already have pre-orders online for her. Both are listed for $19.99 and will be released in October 2014.

You may remember the Applejack bank that was announced a month ago, and maybe you even remember that Diamond Select Toys had more than 1 pony figure on their schedule. We're now about a month later and Diamond Select Toys has revealed the final design of their Fluttershy Bank! A lot of sites have her up for pre-order already, such as ToyWiz, Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toy Store. All websites ask $19.99 for the pre-order, but the release date differs between December 2014 and January 2015.
I'm excited to see Rarity (next month?) and possibly a complete mane 6?

The newest line of vinyl banks from Diamond Select Toys comes the My Little Pony Freindship is Magic Fluttershy Bank! With this 7-inch bank, you not only get a detailed representation of the animal-loving pegasus, with high-quality sculpting and paint applications, you also get a durable vinyl bank, with a coin slot for change on the base and an access door underneath!

We've already covered adult MLP costumes of Twilight and Rainbow Dash that were found about a month ago, but it seems that there are some new costumes available right now.
Above you see Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie costumes of the same series as the earlier found Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. Below the cut we have more images, another Rainbow Dash adult costume and teen costumes of Rainbow Dash (she's real popular) and Twilight Sparkle. These are all officially licensed products and are being sold by various costume and halloween stores.

Upon browsing their website, I stumbled upon these awesome Derpy and Dr. Whooves christmas ornaments! It's a bit early, but I couldn't resist posting these :)
So here is our Summer 2014 Kurt Adler Christmas Ornaments Special (Limited to G4 character ornaments):

Out of nowhere, we saw this box at our local drugstore called 'Kruidvat', and for only €4.99 we had to buy it! The name isn't very clear, but the box contains both a jigsaw puzzle of 48 pieces and a memory game containing 30 pairs. Surprisingly enough, it's not just the mane 6 that got memory pieces: mane side and background characters are also included, even Lyra is there!

Below the cut we have a review with plenty of images:

Japanese plushies in the UK (source)

You might already know that claw machines with MLP plushies as prizes exist, but did you know there are other plushies than the Japanese ones? We've also found images of claw machines that contain TY beanie plushies and Aurora plushies! They have been spotted in both the USA and UK, and possibly in other countries too, so be on the lookout for these when you visit an arcade hall or fair!

Some very cool new merch has been found at Toys"R"Us: Blind Bag shaped erasers of Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy! And Toys"R"Us seems to have plenty of MLP themed stationery as well, as you can see in the images below. Thanks to Lala for sending these in!

Amazon finally shows the final cover of the Equestria Girls: I Love to Draw book. In addition to the cover, we have also access to some preview pages of the contents and first pages. It looks like a neat book for people interested in drawing EqG-styled characters. The book is currently available as pre-order for $8.09 and will be released on October 21, 2014.

Preview pages after the cut:

Because of the rising amount of visitors and support from all of you, we were able to buy some more MLP Micro Legends figures! And luckily the box was almost empty so we took the whole box (with about 6 more balls in it) to the cash register, and we were allowed to take it with us! And because of these new Micro Legends figures our collection is now complete, so we can present to you: The complete collection Micro Legends Wave 1 figures + photos op opening the box and freeing the promo Rainbow Dash figure!

Some big news from the OnlyFactory website: the unlicensed plush designs for Fluttershy, Princess Luna, Dr. Whooves, Spitfire and Daring Do have been completed, and on top of that they started designing a Lotus Blossom plush.
This directly solves the problem posted yesterday, in which we wondered what Princess Luna plush was posted. Now it seems that OnlyFactory/FrontWinner will be selling them!
The Fluttershy plush will be the second design that they produce, as they were already selling another Fluttershy design on the FrontWinner website.
And as expected, the Daring Do plush received some minor changes regarding the color of her tail.
Readers unaware of these plushies can read our post on the fake 12 inch plushies. As always, be aware that these plushies are unlicensed by Hasbro and that buying these plushies does not support the show's creators.

Jetpack Comics and Larry's Comics have revealed the first Phantom Cariant for the Friendship is Magic comic series, which will be a cover for the #22 comic. Fans of The Incredible Hulk comics may recognize this cover: it's based on the original The Incredible Hulk #1 comic cover.
Phantom Variants are an initiative of various comic stores to deliver special covers, exclusively available to those stores. Or as Jetpack Comics describes it:

What is the Phantom Variant Project?  It's a cabal of retailers working together to produce limited edition exclusive comics for a select group of elite retailers!  It's the best minds in the industry working together to provide fun and exciting collectibles for fans and in quantities that help creators and publishers.  It is, quite simply, a limited edition variant that is shared between 20 or so stores.

It's unsure what this means for retailer exclusives covers, as various stores that participate in the Phantom Variant Project also (used to) release store exclusive covers.

Funrise plushies are perhaps the most widely available My Little Pony plushies. They are sold both online and in-store in various countries including the US, UK and other European countries. They are easy to recognize by their "spaghetti" hair and are sold at a relatively good price for their size.
Because of the wild range of stores, characters and sizes, we decided to create a master post on all available Funrise plushes. Enjoy!

Once again a new kind of blind bag figure: Ponies on a ring! These seem to be produced by a Hong Kong company called Premium Toys. The ponies look very close to the original Hasbro blind bag figures, but it seems to be a slightly less professional creation (especially Pinkie Pie's face!). Every pony is placed on a ring, and stored in a heart-shaped case. By looking at the size of these cases it seems that the ring base can be removed from the pony to keep a blind bag-like figure which you can easily place with your collection.

Another thing is that these rings were already found on the site of an importer from the Czech Republic (Mikro Trading), which features another box design. So it's likely that these figures will come out in Eastern Europe first. However, another brand from Premium Toys (Finger Champions), has been seen in many more countries, so there is hope for a worldwide release!

I can't wait to find these in stores and do a review/comparison on them, the figures look intriguing!
