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?

Perhaps these were just some prototypes/mock-ups and they will never be released. Perhaps they are customs/mock-ups judging that Princess Cadance has the same hair as Rarity. But that seems very unlikely to me, especially when you look at the eyes which do look pretty real if you compare them with the official releases. (They have that "print" texture if that makes sense.) And at last, it would be kinda weird for an official MLP Page to post customs/mock-ups. I think we just have to wait and see but as usual, we'll keep you updated. 
 

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!

Due to the current worldwide situation the toy business has been slowed down as well. You might have already noticed that with the low amount of posts here. But, as things are improving, news is starting to drip in again, and proof of that is new photos of the Minty Fashion Squad figure, as well as the first time we see the Pinkie Pie + accessories that will accompany her and a first look at the Princess Cadance EqG & pony set!

Hasbro has posted several videos of their MLP Booth at this years New York Toy Fair. It's not as much as previous installments but still we see a few new items. More detailed images etc will follow in our annual Toy Fair wrap-up.

Hasbro is on a roll with Cutie Mark Crew announcements and releases this month! After the listing for series 5 blind packs and two multi-packs we're already seeing official information and photos on the 6th series of blind packs on the My Little Pony website. This brand new series will feature similar gradient finishes as the 5th series and all ponies come with fashion-themed accessories like skirts, shoes, hats and pearl necklaces.
No details on the in-store release has been given so far, but seeing as this info is already up on Hasbro's own sites, we expect this set to be available not too far in the 3rd quarter of this year. Possible only weeks after the first findings of the 5th series.
