Two weeks ago (yes we skipped a week due to our holiday) we asked you which Cutie Mark Crusaders member was your favorite from the newly found School of Friendship set. The results are pretty close, but the winner was Sweetie Belle! She is closely followed by Apple Bloom and Scootaloo ended up in last place, but it's all very close.

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!

A week ago a Korean McDonalds teased upcoming My Little Pony Toys. Alongside was the image of a Cutie Mark Crew-styled Rainbow Dash. After that we had more reports of people spotting the advertisement such as Italy. Now a Russian add was spotted showing the upcoming figures and like expected: They are all Cutie Mark Crew themed!
Available will be the mane-six, plus Starlight Glimmer and Spike (who looks... odd) It's unsure which countries will receive this Happy Meal next month. I hope the Netherlands will be as well. I've compiled a list of confirmed countries below and I will edit it each time a new country is confirmed.
Thanks a lot to Tomo and Anon for the heads up!

List of confirmed countries:
- South Korea
- Italy
- Russia
- Austria

At Korean restaurants of McDonald's an ad is out to promote a new upcoming range of Happy Meal toys, featuring My Little Pony and Transformers. Much information is not included, but a release in June is mentioned,which isn't too far away. The ad shows a chibi version of Rainbow Dash, something that might indicate that the toy line will be based on the Cutie Mark Crew series, but this has not yet been confirmed.
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!

We've got a bit less news in comparison to previous weeks, but that's not problem as we still have loads to show you! Everything is from the US though, perhaps next week we'll see some more international releases.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Fans of My Little Pony in the US will be happily surprised that new Happy Meal toys are coming soon to McDonalds. However, there's a downside: they're not related to MLP The Movie, and are actually old.
That's right, the figures coming to Happy Meals in a few weeks are the exact same figures that were released in Europe back in March. This set features figures of Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle with brushable tails and every character comes with their own accessory.
And that's not all! Aside from figures, you'll also be able to get My Little Pony masks of the same characters, which were originally released in January 2016, making this set over 1.5 year old!
Overall this is a pretty weird move, knowing that the release of this Happy Meal set is around the same time as MLP The Movie, we would have expected something related to the movie to be including, but sadly this is not the case.
Thanks to Priscilla and anonymous for the heads-up!

Just like our previous store finds post, MLP The Movie merch is getting available in loads of places. Not only in stores, but online too! Check all listings below and don't forget to send in your personal finds for the next post!

Last week we asked you what your ideal MLP magazine would look like. As you might have guessed the big winner is freebies. If we look past this clear winner it's posters that people are looking for, as well as stories and concept art. Submitted art and stories are the least popular on this list.

The My Little Pony Happy Meal toys released in New Zealand at the end of last year are finally getting a broader release, starting with Europe. From all over the continent we've gotten reports, and we've seen them in ourselves in The Netherlands too. Other reports came from Poland, Finland and Sweden. This wave has only 4 ponies: Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle. While New Zealand also saw a Fluttershy release she has been left out in the European line. The figures themselves are still the same and each "Reboot Style" figure comes with their own accessory. Rainbow Dash has a comb, Rarity a mirror, Twilight Sparkle comes with a notepad and Pinkie Pie has some kind of paper cutter/stamp. You can now get them in your Happy Meal or buy them loose, which usually costs between €1.50 and €2.
Thanks to Ozzie and Martyna for the info and Jonna for the images!

Another year a new My Little Pony-Themed Happy Meal isn't it? 2016 isn't even over yet and here we already have the MLP Toys for 2017, well... for New Zealand that is. At the moment they have toys after the new "Sing" movie but next month it's pony time
