Due to the current worldwide situation the toy business has been slowed down as well. You might have already noticed that with the low amount of posts here. But, as things are improving, news is starting to drip in again, and proof of that is new photos of the Minty Fashion Squad figure, as well as the first time we see the Pinkie Pie + accessories that will accompany her and a first look at the Princess Cadance EqG & pony set!

Soon we'll get to see a second wave of the G4.5 Fashion Squad Equestria Girls figures, and one of those will be a set with Pinkie Pie and... Minty! It will be her first release in the Fashion Squad line, and actually her first release in the Equestria Girls line at all. Who knew that a pony that has been popular since Generation 1 could see so little releases in G4!

Seems like the G1 Ponies are making a return this year! A company called Super Impulse has actually created the World's Smallest My Little Pony. And World's Smallest is in this case also the name they use for this line. But Ponies aren't the only small things they make. They've also miniature versions of other popular toys such as the Rubiks Cube, Care Bears and more.

Last time we asked you whether you liked to 2017 MLP Merch Battles or not, and we're glad to see that most of the responses are positive! Almost 42% loved the battles, and another 26% likes it too, but with a few proposed changes. 14% likes it a bit and less than 2% didn't like it. That leaves 16% of the people that didn't join the battles, quite a low amount we think!
We hope to be able to share the winners of the battles with you all this week, so keep on the lookout for that!

Time to blow out some candles because this year My Little Pony of officially 35 years old now! And to celebrate that Target now sells the first set of the Year 1 Collector Ponies. This set includes Blossom, Blue Belle, Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, Minty and Snuzzle. They are $9.99 each and each pony also comes with a retro comb and Tail Ribbon.

Let's hope we'll see some more 35th Anniversary goods appear this year. Perhaps during this years Toy Fair?
Thanks to Lulamae_flyaway and afkosek for the heads up!
