We used to post about new My Little Pony releases from Mighty Jaxx about two to three times a year. Lately it has been quite with relevant news (they still have a lot pretty releases!), with the latest addition being Rainbow Dash by Ricardo Cavolo.

Subscribers of our MLP Database newsletter might have seen this surprising release already, but what you might not know yet is that these Tsunameez keychains were found at Hot Topic!

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.

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.

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!

After the incredibly long wait for the Minty & Pinkie Pie 2-pack, Hasbro seems to pick up the speed regarding the Fashion Squad 2-packs. This week a brand new 'Best Friends' set was spotted at a Czech toy store revealing that a 2-pack with Princess Cadance and Twilight Sparkle is coming soon.

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!

After the well-hidden announcement on the South African Facebook page of My Little Pony, we finally found more information on these figures at a Swiss toy store. The line will be called "Pony Friends", and contain more than just the Rarity, Sunset Shimmer and Princess Cadance figures from the teaser.

New listings have appeared on ToyWiz and with these listings at least one thing will be confirmed, and that's Sunset Shimmer will indeed be released as a figure. The listings are for a set called Best Hair Day which includes Princess Cadance (and maybe another pony since it mentions it's a 2-pack) if that's the case it could be that perhaps Rarity is included as we saw a promo earlier with Princess Cadance having Rarity's hair... perhaps you can mix and match hairstyles?

After a period of many updates at the start of the summer, info on new ponies have been lacking in the past two weeks. We also suffered a heat wave here, but glad to be back in normal temperatures and ready to post new My Little Pony findings for you!
