Ever since the teaser in December we've been following the social media of KFC Indonesia to wait for more information about their line-up of My Little Pony G5 toys. Today they shortly revealed the full set, but removed it quickly after. Luckily there have been some shares of the images, so we can still take a look at it!

First G5 Magazine Figure Released in France
Egmont Releases First Brushable Figure in New UK Magazine
We occasionally post about the latest MLP magazines from the UK and Europe when a new freebie figure is included. When looking at their page in the MLP Merch Database you'll notice one thing: they all have molded manes!
Well, that's no longer the case as of this month, as today Egmont releases UK issue #141 with a brushable Applejack figure. The figure itself looks very similar to the molds they used for the regular versions, but instead of her hat and molded mane/tail this figure has long brushable locks. Especially her tail looks quite long as it seems to almost wrap around.
Combined with the magazine is also a set of stickers and accessories, including a tiny comb. What the quality of the hair is, and whether the comb goes through the hair smoothly, is currently unknown. If you've managed to find the magazine and want to share your thought, feel free to let us know in the comments!
Thanks to Sebby for the heads-up!
New McDonald's Happy Meal Toys to be released Tomorrow
UPDATE: The figures will be released in, at least, Saudi Arabia. We hope to be able to have more information on other countries tomorrow.
Looks like some new My Little Pony Happy Meal Toys will be given out starting tomorrow. Alongside My Little Pony, new Transformer toys will also be released. The My Little Pony figures are each modeled after their G4.5/Pony Life look. It also seems they each of them comes with a pergola inspired cart which you can connect to one another.
New Pinkie Pie Figure Included With This Months Magazine
Every now and then the European MLP magazines include a figure, and it's been a while since the last issue with a freebie figure, but now we have the confirmation that Egmont will bundle a new figure with the August issue in Hungary.

McDonald's Re-Releases 1998 Happy Meal G2 Pony
Regarding the colors and details this pony is exactly like its 21-year-old original, including the brushable tail. The only difference is the hollow legs which have been added on this re-release.
If you'd like to add this pony to your collection you should be quick: these toys are subject to availability and are only included in Happy Meals between today (Nov 7th) and next Monday (Nov 11th). McDonald's location in at least the US and The Netherlands will offer this line of toys, it's unsure which other countries include this promotion as well.
Update: The happy meal figures are packaged as blind bags, and according to multiple confirmations #12 is the Light Heart pony. (Thanks mylittleponyukcollector)
Thanks to Alex for the heads-up!
My Little Pony Happy Meal in More Countries + New Figures
But there is more news, as the line is also available in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. However, in those countries the set does not only contain the ponies mentioned above, but features new figures of Starlight Glimmer and Spike as well! Pictures of both are shown below.
More countries could potentially receive this set in the future, as we've seen delays of months between countries in the past, but we don't have any definitive information on that.
If you can't wait for them to become available in your country: the first listings for these figures are now available on eBay.
Thanks to Sil for the heads-up!
New My Little Pony (and Transformers) Happy Meal Figures at McDonalds Switzerland
New My Little Pony and Transformer Figures Now at Burger King
Featured are Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity, who all have a different mold or feature: Pinkie Pie laughs, Rainbow Dash can roll forward, Twilight Sparkle has articulated wings and tail and Rarity comes with a removable cape.
The figures all come with molded manes and tails, but are not molded completely solid. As seen on the photos the legs are hollow.
From reports that we saw all 4 figures are available at the moment within the US and Canada, but it differs from store to store which are included with the meals at that time. We've also heard of restaurants that did not offer any MLP figures yet, even after the official launch date. Information on releases in other countries are not yet known.
Thanks to Archooves, Victor, Jessie and Alex for the info!

More countries, like Canada, Mexico and Australia, also missed out on the initial release, but we have yet to receive an official announcement for those locations.
In the mean time Argentina already confirmed availability of the Cutie Mark Crew figures at their restaurants, and even included a clip that demonstrates what figures are available and how they work.

Better Images of Cutie Mark Crew Happy Meal Toys Available
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!

Thanks a lot to Tomo and Anon for the heads up!
List of confirmed countries:

New My Little Pony Happy Meal Toys Coming in June
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!
