People who've been chasing the Natural Series by Pop Mart can soon find them at a western retailer: Entertainment Earth has announced to ship the figures and accepts pre-orders now.

Aside from all the G5 news, one of our most popular posts from the past months has to be the Pop Mart MLP Natural Series reveal. Personally we were really curious to take a closer look at these new blind boxes from China, from a brand we weren't familiar with. That's why we decided to order some and create a review!

Over in China on various apps and message boards news has popped up from Chinese toy manufacturer Pop Mart about a series of My Little Pony blind bag figures they are going to release. This set is called Natural Series and features unique poses and bases we've not seen before in blind bags of any kind!

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.

Happy new year everyone! It's been quite a ride the past months, and we hope 2021 will be a healthy year for everyone. There has been a lot of negativity, but for us personally we've also had our share of positive and life-changing moments. Here on MLP Merch we're going to continue for another year of pony merch, and are wondering what's going to happen in May with the NY Toy Fair, which is normally the peak of new announcements.

Because the event is a couple of months later than the regular week in February, we wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro is going to host an online presentation around that time and give a sneak-peak of what we can expect in the Spring 2021. Especially when the new movie and generation is on the horizon!

A new set from the Smashin Fashion line has been spotted, and this time on Amazon.
This two-pack features DJ Pon-3 and Pinkie Pie who both come with multiple dresses and other accessories, . We'll now also have official descriptions for these sets as well and they state that they can be displayed on both 2 and 4 legs, so thats pretty cool in my opinion.

The set is listed for $19.99 and currently in stock as well. You can find the listing below as well as more images and the official description.
Thanks to SLPhotos for the heads up!

There has been quite a unique announcement in Japan this week on JapanPonyCon by Know Idea, who we never heard of before. With their distribution partner Sega Toys (who are licensed by Hasbro) they're planning on releasing three Equestria Girls Friends Forever acrylic character stands, based on the original concept artwork of Rita Lux.

If the artworks looks familiar, you're absolutely right, simailar concept drawings have been used on the packaging of the Equestria Girls reboot series, as well as some Fashion Squad figures.
