Today I've spotted a very interesting new set on Shopee/Taobao: These adorable Crystal Blocks figures by MGL Toys. They seem to be modeled after the Cutie Mark Cew line and included are the whole Mane Six together with spike. Every figure comes in it's own box with the picture on the front showing you which character you'll be getting. So no blind boxes! No dimensions for the figures itself are listed but the boxes are 11 cm/4.3 inches tall so I expect the figures to be around 3 inches.

The listing we managed to found has them listed for RM59.90 which is about $14 USD however this is with the current 49% sale. Their normal price is around $27 USD You can find the listing here!

A rather surprising new line of MLP figures was just spotted on eBay. As it appears, blind bag collectible brand Hello Miniworld released a set with 9 Equestria Girls-like My Little Pony figures in China this month.

If you haven't heard about NFTs yet, you probably haven't been online much in the past year. Digital collectibles in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens is the latest gamble game where you buy and trade digital 'ownership certificates' of basically anything. Funko has been releasing their own lines of digital collectibles and is soon adding My Little Pony to the line of Digital Funko cards through their Droppp platform, sadly...

After years of keepsake ornaments based on G1 ponies, this year we'll see the first flagship ornament based on a G4 character: a Pinkie Pie ornament with winter clothes in coming July 9.

 

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!

As promised in the release post we would do a review on the latest Pop Mart x My Little Pony series, Leisure Afternoon, and here it is! We'll keep it a bit shorter than our Natural Series review, as the ordering process differed hugely this time, and some aspects are the same as before.

When we look at recent My Little Pony releases from China, such as the Pop Mart figures and Bloks building sets, it's clear that G4(.5) is still in full swing in China. Today's new release is no exception: over on Tmall a listing popped up with blind box cupcake plush.

Licensed merchandise manufacturer Pyramid America recently announced a new set of framed My Little Pony posters to be released in March, featuring G1 and G4 artwork not frequently used in merch.

Whereas the first set was only available on Chinese marketplaces for several weeks, the new My Little Pony figures by Pop Mart are already listed and available on Amazon! And that just 1 day after the official start of sales in China, according to the earlier annoucement.

One of the more popular figures to be released last year was Pop Mart's Natural Series. We even reviewed some of them ourselves and really enjoyed them! Turns out that a new series will be released very, very soon!

According to Pop Mart's official WeChat, the 28th of January will be the release date of the brand new Leisure Afternoon Series. This time the members of the Mane Six are displayed enjoying relaxing drinks and treats. This time all of the Mane Six will receive two figures and the chase figure for this series is Princess Cadance. 

Starting January 28 they will be available at Popmart local stores and Tmall shops in China, or the official store on AliExpress which also means they should be able to order internationally. One box will cost about 12 USD with the full set being 130 USD.

Have all the images from the WeChat below. Many thanks to RDB for the heads up!
