We best know Kayou for their series of My Little Pony G4 trading cards of which several sets have been released, but earlier this year their expansion plans for other merch was presented. While not all merch was explained and shown in detail, two new "blind bag" merch products just became available Tmall.

Remember the Stack'ems? These were Tech4Kids' (now Basic Fun) take to rival Disney's Tsum Tsum stackable figures. Back in 2016 they were announced at the Toy Fair, only to be released a whole year later. This year they announced their second series of Stack'em figures, but got overshadowed by Hasbro's own stackable figures: the Cutie Mark Crew blind packs.
Despite that, Basic Fun has continued their promised line-up of Series 2 Stack'em figures, which can now be found at Walmart. There's a total of 12 figures to collect: Cheerilee, DJ Pon-3, Muffins/Derpy, Octavia, Princess Luna and Spike. All in both regular and clear versions.
Thanks to @mlp.collection for the photo!

Only 8 days ago we first saw Wave 21 blind bags in stores, and in record time we've got images and names of all upcoming Wave 22 characters!
This next wave is a pretty close tie-in to the previous wave in that it's a mixture of Crystal ponies, Apple family members and some Rarity episode-related characters thrown in too. In contrast this wave does feature a bit more well-known characters like DJ Pon-3, Big McIntosh, Octavia and Starlight Glimmer. From the official mane 6 we only see Rainbow Dash in this series.

Chase figures can be identified by the same glitter-mane as in wave #21, which are Rainbow Dash, Thunderlane, Derpy/Muffins, Fluffy Clouds and Fire Streak.

Below we have a list of all characters names plus images of both the figures and their show counterparts.

Welovefine already teased that these would be for pre-sale this Thursday but they went available for pre-order when we were both sleeping so thats why we post them now.
So you can pre-order them now. Fluttershy, Lyra, Octavia, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna can be ordered separately and Rainbow Dash is only available for those who order the whole set.

They are $15 each and the whole set will cost $90. They will be released on October 11, 2016

You can pre-order them here!

At the start of this year Welovefine held a poll of which ponies you would like to see made in the second set of the MLP Chibi figure line. The winners turned out to be Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, Fluttershy and Lyra. But as we can see in the preview a total of six ponies will be included in the second series which will be called the "Fan Series" this includes all of the ones you could vote one (with the exception of Trixie)

Welovefine has announced that the pre-sale for these will start this Thursday so mark your calendars if you want to get these. As for those who still need the first ones, they are on sale now and you can get the full series for only $100 at the moment. You can find all the information here.

The official websites of the MLP Fashems and MLP Squishy Pops by Tech 4 Kids have updated their website which includes some HQ Images of the upcoming figures. We first got a look at these during the Spielwarenmesse and the NY Toy Fair but we didn't had good images of both.
First of all we're already at the 5th series of Fashems, as always six figures will be included with one of them being Starlight Glimmer. The CMC will be re-released as well in this wave but they will have their cutie mark which probably is the first time we see merch of them with their CM's. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie will be in this wave as well. According to the images they should be available this spring which is quite soon.

The Spielwarenmesse 2016 is now open for two days. So far we've found no Hasbro news yet but I'm sure we eventually will get some more info as the Spielwarenmesse will end on February 1, so we have three days left. But we eventually found some MLP Related Merchandise news as the company Tech 4 Kids is also attending. Tech 4 Kids is most known for their Fashems and Squishy Pops. Speaking about Squishy Pops, a picture of some new ones during the Spielwarenmesse has been posted on Instagram.

As you can see there possibly will be a new playset for the Squishy pops which is a Ferris wheel. Some new Squishy Pops are also being some. We've seen some of them last year during the New York Toy Fair but these are a bit different. Judging b the pics I'm not sure if Spike and Princess Luna will ste be present in this line We do however see DJ Pon-3, Octavia, Cheerilee and Derpy/Muffins. We also see the mane-six, this time in a trotting pose (just like last year) In addition to that all character will receive a clear variant as well.

No other information is known at the moment. The ones from last year at the NY Toy Fair haven't arrived in stores (yet) so lets hope these eventually will. We hope we can report more Spielwarenmesse news these days. Quite exciting isn't it?

Thanks to Tomo for the heads up!

Last week we asked you which characters should be featured as Equestria Girls Mini figures in the future. This is the first time (as far as I remember) that every option got a decent amount of votes: every character got at least 7%! But there can only be one winner, and that is (or are, actually) The Shadowbolts! They're followed by Sonata Dusk (who got more that double to votes of Aria) and Principal Luna. Flash Sentry and Octavia were also popular, leaving Principal Cadance and Aria Blaze as the bottom two, but still with a respectable vote count.

I think we can safely say that the first wave of the MLP Chibi figures by Welovefine were a huge success. After the first ones and Applejack even more are going to be made. A total of four to be exact. But you can decide who it will be as Welovefine made it possible for you to select who you want to see next. A total of seven have been designed but only four of them will be made. You can vote until January 16, 2016. The ponies which you can vote on are:

• Rainbow Dash
• Princess Luna
• Fluttershy
• Octavia
• Trixie
• Princess Celestia
• Lyra

We still have to wait for the release of the announced WeLoveFine Vinyl Chibi's. But in the meantime it seems like WeLoveFine held a small poll which pony they would like to see as well. People could choose between Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Octavia. Turns out the winner was Applejack and right now her model is approved so they start producing her soon enough. It's unclear if she will release at the same time as the other ones but we will keep you updated. I guess we have to wait for the first real prototype.

For those being sad that Rainbow Dash and Octavia aren't included, there's a high change they will be made as well together with perhaps the Princesses. WeLoveFine commented on somebody's post that if they sell well they will make new ones as well!

Thanks to Tomo for the heads up!

A few days ago Tech4Kids revealed the second wave of Squishy Pop figures, and already they have shown the next wave(s) of Squishy Pop figures at the New York Toy Fair!
While the second wave consists of figures that we've already seen, these figures are completely new and there are some pretty awesome figures in this line-up! It's likely that these will be released as a two separate waves, just like how the initial 12 figures were split into two waves of 6 figures.
So far only the figures were shown and no box or new necklaces were shown, but we hope to hear more about how these will release soon.

Entertainment Earth as a special daily deal every day, and today (February 13) it's finally time for a Funko MLP sale! Only today you can get 20% off all My Little Pony Funko Vinyl Figures (up to 5 per person) with a total of 9 ponies being available:
- DJ Pon-3
- Sweetie Drops
- Twilight Sparkle
- Trixie Lulamoon
- Lyra Heartstrings
- Pinkie Pie
- Octavia Melody
- Big McIntosh
- Spitfire

Enjoy the sale! We'll remind you when there is another sale online that can get you ponies for less!

Build-a-Bear is planning a new line of pony plushies, and to get an idea of which characters are popular they launched a survey where you can leave your preferences.
Your first choice is between Princess Luna, Celestia and Cadance, which is odd since Princess Celestia has already been announced!
On the next question you can choose another pony, this time either Discord, Derpy (Bubbles) or Dr. Whooves.
Then the final pony selection screen comes up and you can select either Spitfire, DJ PON-3, Octavia or Lyra. At the bottom you can also name another pony which you would like to see.
And after that there are some questions about YouTube video and the survey is complete.
So don't forget to vote now for your favourite ponies, and perhaps Build-a-Bear will create a plush out of it!

We actually already wrote about these a few times. (here and here) But now they also revealed the packaging for these two sets so thats always nice to share! We also never listed the Fluttershy Doll + Pony listing. So I guess it's time we finally do now! The Rainbow Dash was already known for a while as well. But we just decided to include her as well. :)

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are listed for $29.99 and Octavia is listed for $26.99

Listings here:
- Octavia Doll and Pony Set
- Fluttershy Doll and Pony Set
- Rainbow Dash Doll and Pony Set

We also have some images of them all!

Just because I really like some of the artwork they use. Here are some newly found ones! They are from the Battle of the Bands game. But most of these will also appear on the back of some of the new Equestria Girls Dolls, like for example: The Neon doll ones, and the Fashion Doll ones. There has also been an Octavia one found together with the CMC. But only Octavia Appears in the style that match the ones on the back of the boxes.

Thanks to Tomo for the heads up!

It's been a while since we last wrote about OnlyFactory. But it seems like another plushie maker on OnlyFactory is  quite busy these days! So are the Filly Princess Celestia and Luna done, as well as Sweetie Drops (Bon Bon) and King Sombra. There's also some progress on the Fluttershy Plush with her Gala Dress, and they are working on Maud Pie.

We also collected some new Pony Plush Concept Art from OnlyFactory, you can find all the new (unfinished) plushies under the cut as well as the artwork.

After a short wait Toys"R"Us has started selling the Ponymania Collection and Forever Friends blind bag set this week. The Forever Friends set is sold for $19.99 and we don't know the price of the Ponymania Collection yet (can you help us out?). We've also seen some people finding the Photo Finish Ponymania pony at Toys"R"Us, but it's also available online (both for $9.99). Thanks to equestria_girls and Fadedglitter for images and info.

Seems like Entertainment Earth has listed 2 new Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks dolls on her website! The first one is a Fashion Doll of Trixie, much like the one of Rarity and Sunset Shimmer we found earlier. (she was also shown next to them during the NY Toy Fair 2014)  She's listed for $19.99. We also have a new Applejack doll, I thought she already existed but nope, she's different. She's also listed for $19.99 I don't know why she's the same prize as Trixie.

They also have listed the Octavia and Pony Set, these will also sell for $19.99 right now. You can pre-order both of them right now on the website, and they will be available this October.

Listings here:
- Trixie Fashion Doll
- Applejack Rainbow Rocks Doll
- Octavia Doll and Pony set

Below the cut we have some more pictures!
