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!

Hopefully everyone has enjoyed their viewing of the My Little Pony: A New Generation! In the mean time we have been busy with finishing 3 large database updates this week, and are happy to be able to share those with you all.

We've already written about the new 2021 My Little Pony toys in McDonald's Happy Meal that were released in several countries, but so far were missing only one pony from the mane 6: Twilight Sparkle.

We received so many updates and submits in response to the previous store finds post, that we decided to do a quick follow-up! In this Store Finds "Plus" we take a closer look at the McDonald's figures, Secret Rings and look at more stuff that was released at Target.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Time for the first store finds post of the year! We start off with good with the new Kinder Surprise figures, McDonald's Happy Meal ponies, valentines and more. So scroll on down, and discover all the new stuff that's available now.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

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.

Whereas Basic Fun skipped the second generation of My Little Pony in their retro line of ponies (so far), we got surprise news from McDonald's this week that they are filling in that gap! As part of their 40 years anniversary of the Happy Meal they are re-releasing 17 classic toys from Happy Meals throughout the ages. One of which is the G2 Light Heart pony that was originally released in 1998.

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!

We're back from our holiday and are back to share the latest MLP news with all of you! On our way back we were able to pick up Rainbow Dash from the My Little Pony Happy Meal 2019 line, and no, we didn't go through Switzerland. Here in The Netherlands McDonald's launched the same line of Happy Meal figures, which includes unique versions of Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle.
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!

Looks like Burger King isn't the only one including My Little Pony figures in their kids meals. Apparently McDonalds Switzerland is now also including ponies and Transformers in their Happy Meals, all of the Mane Six to be exact. They even have a timetable available on their website which shows which pony you can get in each week, but we also decided to post it below as well.
