With all the supply chain issues and shortages going on we're surprised to announce that the second series of Kwistal Fwenz by Mighty Jaxx is released early! Originally planned for 22 June, but they managed to get enough stock and orders can be placed right now for both the full box and single packs.

After releasing two waves of Hidden Dissectibles, Mighty Jaxx started a brand new series of My Little Pony figures at the end of last year with the Kwistal Fwenz. While this was a surprising move from Mighty Jaxx, knowing their regular line-up, it did turn out to be a success and that's why we can now share the second series with you!

Alright time for a short blog outside of what we normally post. This isn't about official MLP releases, nor is it about fakes, but sort of something in between?
It didn't catch our attention, but last year Hasbro released a new version of Monopoly Junior: Unicorn Edition. While that is normally something that won't be featured on our blog anyway, but there's an interesting twist when looking at the included figures. Yes, those are re-used G4.5 blind bag figures!
(Thanks to decismuchjuvenile for the heads-up)

Earlier this week we found the first image of the brand new G4.5 blind bags set online, and just before the new year Walmart already released them in stores! (And Amazon now, too)
There's only one odd thing here: the set that was found on the shelves is a 12-pack, whereas the US normally gets a full 24-pack, just like the images we found earlier. Not only that, but the packaging only features English and French text, not Spanish as US releases usually have.
These 12-pack releases with two languages is commonly released in the UK, so it is possible that this set that hit the stores is a mix-up.
The figures included are the first set we posted in our previous post containing Tank, Winona, (brown) Angel, Opalescence, Lyra, Amethyst Star, unknown green pony, Gummy, Potion Nova, Cha Cha, a hippopotamus and Rarity.
While the Cutie Mark Crew confetti is gone, these new blind bags do come with another (potentially even messier) way of opening them: water! You can flip open the potion bottles, pour in some water, and after shaking them for a while the dust should dissolve and the pony will be revealed. Just make sure you close the potion bottle tight before shaking! (See photo and video of this below)
Update: First wave of Magical Potion Surprise is now on Amazon for just $2.99 each. Listing mentions 24 figures in contrast to the split box found in stores.

Thanks to SLPhotos for the photos & videos!

Hasbro is on a roll with Cutie Mark Crew announcements and releases this month! After the listing for series 5 blind packs and two multi-packs we're already seeing official information and photos on the 6th series of blind packs on the My Little Pony website. This brand new series will feature similar gradient finishes as the 5th series and all ponies come with fashion-themed accessories like skirts, shoes, hats and pearl necklaces.
No details on the in-store release has been given so far, but seeing as this info is already up on Hasbro's own sites, we expect this set to be available not too far in the 3rd quarter of this year. Possible only weeks after the first findings of the 5th series.

The second wave of the All About Brushables has made it's way to Amazon, included in this wave are Applejack, Lyra Heartstrings, Rarity, Soarin, Sweetie Drops and Twilight Sparkle.
In addition to the second wave of the All About Brushables, all three Seapony Cuddle Plush are also now finally listed. We already spotted Twilight Before, but Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash have now joined her. None of them are available at the moment but as always we'll keep you notified. Have all the listings below.

Lots of new Brushables have been spotted on Taobao! At first we have a better look at some of the All About Brushables for the movie, but some other interesting news is that three new brushables have been spotted as well. The first one is a Princess Celestia with Tinsel Hair and painted accessories like her necklace. Her hooves are also covered in glitter.
The next two are perhaps even more interesting since Maud Pie and Coco Pommel join the new molds. Currently their release is unknown but we still have to see if Toys'R'Us and Target will be getting special releases. (we also still have that Songbird Serenade Brushable) With the SDCC coming up soon I think we'll here more info later.

Over at Target in the US you can now get the latest waves of the My Little Pony Squish Pops and Fash'ems figures by Tech4Kids. While we already had some info on the 6th wave of Fash'ems (which has the same figures as wave 5, but with a clear finish), the Series 4 release of the Squish Pops is completely new.
The latest wave of the small squishy figures introduces the first flocked figures and some new characters as well. Below we have more details on the included figures for each wave.
Thanks to Anto for the images!

We have waited for quite some years but our wishes have bee granted. Lots of people have wanted Boy Ponies with normal brushable hair for quite some time and now during the New York Toy Fair This year two BOY brushables have been revealed. And as expected we get one for two of the most popular colts on the show: Big Mac and Soarin. We can also see the whole line-up for the "All-About" line which included the ponies with some decals based around the show.

Expect more info during our coverage as well as more info about the other brushables. This image was taken from the video by MyFroggyStuff which we would like to thank for the video. :)

Yesterday in our Store Finds post we already reported on many findings at US Target stores, but our frequent submitter Victor just got a pretty big haul at Target, showing even more releases that have only just hit the shelves.
In addition to the loose Runway Fashions figures the Runway Set is now available, as well as the Twisty Twirly Hair and single brushables figures. A complete overview of what's available in the Reboot Series can be found in our Brushables Database, and by comparing that to the photos from Target you can see that most announced sets are now available. The only figures not confirmed to be released in the US yet are the second wave of single brushables and On-the-Go Purse figures.

Prefer to buy figures online? Target does not have most of these listed yet, but Amazon does! Check our collection of Amazon listings for the Reboot Series figures, as well as the new Equestria Girls Minis and Hasbro plush.

Over at a Toys"R"Us in Ottawa, Canada the first Reboot Series brushables have been found in the west. Back in November Singapore (as usual) kicked off the line with a release in the east, but this is the first find of the new brushables outside of Asia. As you can see in the photo above the complete Wave 1 of single brushables is available with Rarity, Lyra, Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle.
Online we already know that Amazon has a few listings up with a January release, so it's expected that in the coming month or so the US will see the first sets appear, and hopefully Europe at the start of 2017.

Some big news! Singapore already got the new Equestria Girls Minis way before anyone else but now they also have the new Reboot Series Brushables. To be more precise, these have been found at Toys'R'Us. The first thing that got spotted are the Runway Fashions Brushables (we spotted concept art of them before) and they feature some of the main six with their Gala Gowns. Judging by the accessories they are the same size as the others but I could be wrong.

The next thing that got spotted was the first wave of the Singles which features Lyra, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle. We have no clue at the moment when these and the other merch will be released in other countries but sites like Entertainment Earth state next month/January 2017.

Thanks to Joelle for the heads up and images!

Some merchant images have appeared which shows some of the upcoming merchandise. Some of them we've seen already but some of these are new. If a set has already been spotted then you can go to our article by clicking on the header above the image.

Thanks to SweetLemons for the heads up! Have all the images below:

And again some new Blind Bags have appeared on Taobao. Some of these seem to math with the ones we found before meaning they could be in the same set of Blind Bags. Still it's unsure which theme these will have but a lot of characters are Rarity Related again. We also get a new Sweetie Drops and Lyra which look both quite good! We also got a new Lyrica Lilac which looks quite unfinished though compared to her previous release. We also see some new eye-designs. Some of them look good, others need a bit to get used to though...

We hope we can provide you all with more info soon! Have them all + their show counterparts below!

Today we have a quick review on something that has only very recently popped up online: the new style MLP brushables. We're still unsure in what context they will be released, but in this video you can see what they'll look like and how they compare to the current line of brushables.
You can watch the video on YouTube or embedded below:

So far we've seen almost the whole Mane Six in the new Brushable style with the exception of Pinkie Pie and Rarity. But they have now appeared on Ebay. As you can see each of them have a different body as well which was a big wish for most MLP Collectors: More variety in poses. Still it's unknown to which line these belong but they are probably for the movie. Lets hope we'll spot some of these in packaging soon.

Thanks to Aquatic Neon EclipsedFlame for the heads up!

Yesterday we wrote about the EqG Legend of Everfree Geo dolls on Entertainment Earth, but today we saw that the first dolls are already available on Amazon! Their stock is extremely limited (only 1 in stock), but the release date of July 12-14 for Sunset Shimmer reveals that the dolls will get proper stock next week. The listings also helped us get photos of the Geo dolls packaging, but only Pinkie Pie and Lyra are listed for now.
Those who can't wait to get their Legend of Everfree dolls should act fast, or pre-order them for next week.

The first images of wave 17 blind bags have been found, and Hasbro has been generous this time: HQ images of all ponies and blind bag cards are included! This way we were able to fill our MLP Blind Bag Database and figure out the codes for this wave! As expected, this wave is a re-release of wave 7, but with a missing characters like the wonderbolts (who get a release anyway) and Barber Groomsby. These have been replaced with Nightmare Night-themed chase figures, as we've seen before on eBay and Taobao. The regular characters are transparent ponies with embedded glitter (like wave 13), and the chase figures have regular material.
(Sadly, we didn't hear anything about the release of wave 16 yet)
Below we have a list of all the codes and ponies that we now know of:
