Some of our readers might remember the Figure Rings we posted about half a year ago. We predicted that they would stay in Europe, but quite the opposite has happened: Hot Topic listed them! The complete mane 6 is included and you'll get 1 of the figures with a ring and storage case. The figures are pretty cool and unique, but could have some messed up details, mainly because of their size. Also, they're packaged as blind bags, so you don't know which one you'll get! They are currently $4.13 each on the Hot Topic website, but it's unknown if these can be bought in stores as well. Please let us know when you see them!
UPDATE: They are actually widely available. If you can purchase them in actual stores, take a look at Toys"R"Us or Target where they are cheaper. However, this is the online listing online so far. Thanks to everyone in the comments for the info!

Once again a new kind of blind bag figure: Ponies on a ring! These seem to be produced by a Hong Kong company called Premium Toys. The ponies look very close to the original Hasbro blind bag figures, but it seems to be a slightly less professional creation (especially Pinkie Pie's face!). Every pony is placed on a ring, and stored in a heart-shaped case. By looking at the size of these cases it seems that the ring base can be removed from the pony to keep a blind bag-like figure which you can easily place with your collection.

Another thing is that these rings were already found on the site of an importer from the Czech Republic (Mikro Trading), which features another box design. So it's likely that these figures will come out in Eastern Europe first. However, another brand from Premium Toys (Finger Champions), has been seen in many more countries, so there is hope for a worldwide release!

I can't wait to find these in stores and do a review/comparison on them, the figures look intriguing!
