During the Spielwarenmesse in Germany this year, Mighty Jaxx has teased these adorable upcoming Kwistal My Little Pony figurines. Whereas previous sets were released with the Blind Box format in mind, these are actually all sold seperately. Another difference for these figures is that they are also taller! The Blind Box Kwistal Fwenz series figure each are about 3 Inches/8 cm tall. The Princesses have a height of 6 Inches/15.5cm 

It has been a bit quiet lately, which seems a bit... odd given it's also the 40th birthday of the My Little Pony line this year, and aside from the Style of the Day brushables we haven't heard much from Hasbro lately, however we (finally) have some news for you!
Update: Now available on Amazon US!

The unique Rainbow Dash statue designed by Ricardo Cavolo that we posted about last week is now available for pre-order on the Mighty Jaxx website and app!

With Ricardo's signature sets of eyes and flames this Rainbow Dash statue is a unique piece and at 9" tall it's also quite an impressive statue as well. And while the photos that we currently have show the prototype version (the actual figures will be produced after the pre-orders end) we know from Mighty Jaxx that their final product is very close to the prototype design.

With an expected release date of May 2023, you can now place your pre-order at $199, which includes free worldwide shipping. And if you'd like to have $10 off that price, be sure to use our referral link to register and enjoy that discount.

And if you want to know more about our experience with larger Mighty Jaxx releases, check our review of the XXRay Plus Nightmare Moon statue.

Fiercely loyal, a little brash, and one of the best fliers in Equestria—Rainbow Dash has burst onto the scene. Sculpted through the eyes of Spanish artist Ricardo Cavolo, Rainbow Dash is reimagined with two pairs of eyes—Ricardo’s signature element.
These eyes represent her strong sense of perspective. One one hand, this references her remarkable talent for flying, able to quickly react to different aerial situations. On the emotional front, it points towards her self-consciousness in front of others—she wants to be perceived as a strong, capable character.
This collectible features her successfully pulling off a Sonic Rainboom. This difficult feat was achieved during the Best Young Fliers competition, when she was saving her friends from plummeting to the ground during an accident—a character defining moment. Paired with the intense colors, and free-flowing lines, this collectible is a meaningful visual treat.

About a month ago a new line of Cutie Mark Magic (not to be confused with the 2014 line) toys were revealed on a UK wholesale website, introducing new single ponies with brushable tails and Hoof to Heart accessories. Now Amazon has listed the first batch, consisting of Sunny and Pipp, up for pre-order.

One of the most anticipated lines this year has to be the Mini World Magic line with Polly Pocket-like figures and playsets. A few months after it's announcement the first listings now appear online including one we haven't heard of before!

Last week we wrote about Daybreaker, the upcoming XXRay Plus statue from Mighty Jaxx, and today the pre-orders have officially opened for her!

It's been a while since the last limited edition My Little Pony bishoujo statue by Kotobukiya, but we finally have the confirmation that Applejack will be the next release!

It's been almost half a year ago that we shared with you the strange news that the Kotobukiya bishoujo statue wasn't going to be another pony from MLP:FiM, but in fact a ponified version of Hatsune Miku! The 3-way collaboration (Hasbro, Kotobukiya & Crypton) is part of the MikuWorldCollab project, and quite unique for the world of My Little Pony. A couple of months after that first announcement, we got the see the minimally updated sculpt for the statue, but without any colors.

When the Snow Party Countdown advent calendar was first announced as part of the big wave of releases, we had no idea about the exact release plan for it. Since the advent time is still a few months away, we were expecting a release in the fall season. But it turns out we don't have to wait that long: Amazon just added the Snow Party Countdown set as a pre-order listing with a release in just 4 days, on August 1st.

Starting today the Princess Luna bishoujo statue by Kotobukiya can be pre-ordered. She's the first of the two princess to be available, whereas Princess Celestia will follow later. Pre-orders are open in Japan right now, and US-based retailers will follow in the next hours. The release is planned for September 2021.

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!

About a month after the reveal of the finished statue, the Sunset Shimmer Bishoujo Statue by Kotobukiya is now available for pre-order! She's $109.99 USD and will be released in April 2021. Kotobukiya has also shared some more detailed shots of the figure itself and just like the others, she looks absolutely stunning! 

Have the pre-order listings below as well as the official description and more pictures of the statue itself.

• Kotobukiya Official Website - $109.99

Some days ago Kotobukiya revealed a limited edition version of their Pinkie Pie Bishoujo statue. The statue has now been listed on Entertainment Earth and is now available for pre-order.

And we're staying with My Little Pony news from Japan today with the announcement that pre-orders for the Applejack bishoujo statue by Kotobukiya are now available! Aside form that we're also treated with a compilation of all final statue designs.
For example Entertainment Earth has her listed now with an expected release date of January 2021. However, Kotobukiya sticks to a November 2020 release date.
We have now listed all status in our database too, that is, until the Sunset Shimmer statue final design is published of course.

Plans can change over the time, and we've seen plenty of collectibles and ideas that never made the final cut. On the other end of the spectrum we have Kotobukiya who, after the initial announcement 2 years ago, is still following their steady pace of designing and releasing bishoujo statues based on the Mane 6.
Today they shared tons of photos of the finalized Rainbow Dash statue design, and it's stunning! She's still true to the initial mane 6 concept art and features a tad darker skin color than the other girls and has a very playful and dynamic pose. As with the others there is plenty of detailed designing that got into the statue, and even the pattern on the bottom of the shoes has been thought of. Especially impressive is the hair style and "floating" jacket that Rainbow Dash combines with a white tank top and hot pants.
The pony Rainbow Dash next to the statue is also striking a pose and is ready to fly at any moment. With 3D eye lashes and styled hair the pony got the same level of treatment as her human counterpart. Both are placed on a circular base with a light blue and white cutie mark pattern.
More images of her can be found below.

Even though the ink is still wet on our announcement post of the Rainbow Dash bishoujo statue from Kotobukiya we can share more info on her with you! As promised Kotobukiya showed the prototype statue at the New York Comic Con, and thanks to a Diana we can now have a look at the display they had over there.

A small 3 months after the previous announcement from Kotobukiya we can happily say that the Rarity Bishoujo statue design has received it's layer of colors and was finalized. Matching her pony-form color schema, the humanized Rarity figure features a white shirt with purple skirt and belt and long wavy locks. She also rocks a gold bracelet and large necklace, together with a hair clip representing her cutie mark. The pony that accompanies the human statue is a well-designed 3D presentation of Rarity, being it with very heavy eyelashes. More images of both can be seen later in the post.
Just like the statues before, this stage of the development process also means that pre-orders are now available. So far we were only able to find a pre-order listing on the Kotobukiya site itself, but expect sites that usually offer statues like this to follow soon.

We've got two great reports from Kotobukiya for you today: Both the prototype of the Rarity bishoujo statue and the final colored design of the Fluttershy statue (including pre-orders) too! News on the figures came in through Twitter and their official blog, and is just in time for the start of the SDCC today.

This is the first time we get to see a prototype version of the Rarity bishoujo statue, currently still in its unpainted state. The human statue has a very posh pose and outfit, combined with curly locks similar to her pony-equivalent and a seductive face. Rarity as a pony lays on the floor and comes with a greatly detailed mane and even sculpted eyelashes.

Of Fluttershy, who is the 3rd statue in the series, we now get to see the final colored design of her showing the bright hair color and contrasting details on her dress. Pony Fluttershy got some beautiful shaded wings, combined with show-accurate colors and details. The Fluttershy statue is now available for pre-order too, and has an expected release date of December 2019.

Earlier this week we reported on the final design of Kotobukiya's Twilight Sparkle Bishoujo statue, and now the pre-orders for her are open! With $99.99 as the MSRP it's an expensive piece, but as seen on the images below you get an immensely detailed statue in return. Both the 8.46" tall human character as well as the Twilight Sparkle pony are uniquely designed and molded with eye for detail. Take a look at the Elements of Harmony book for example!
