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...

Exactly 10 months ago a mysterious Queen Chrysalis popped up on AliExpress, together with a brushable of Sandbar. While the latter has long been released, the changeling queen with updated eyes wasn't seen again. Until now, as JCPenney released their first My Little Pony exclusive, that includes the Queen Chrysalis figure!
She's combined with the complete mane 6, all with the same pose as the Reboot Series singles and School of Friendship Equestria Friends, being it without any accessories. Other than that the box itself is pretty basic, with the regular border and a green background. The back of the box shows an angry mane 6 and Queen Chrysalis. It retails for $29.99
While this release may not bring any new mold or characters to the shelves, it's good to see that JCPenney is also invested in releasing exclusive My Little Pony stuff, as Toys"R"Us is no longer able to release these lines in the US. I don't expect a large line of, let's say Ponymania, to come from JCPenney, but it's s slightly bigger chance at getting new releases nonetheless.

Normally we compile all store-finds into one big post about every week. But this is a really big exception as the THIRD Series of the Cutie Mark Crew has already been found in stores, in the Philippines, by one of our readers!

Set of the first and second wave of Cutie Mark Crew figures are being found all over the place, but we've got a scoop of who might be featured in one of the upcoming sets!
In the digital good collecting app Quidd, which we wrote about before, several sets of collectible 3D characters are available, including a line of Cutie Mark Crew figures. Just today a new set was announced, featuring Princess Celestia, Princess Cadance and... Queen Chrysalis!
That's right, before she's even announced as a Cutie Mark Crew figure the 3D design of her is already presented in the Quidd app to collect. And as these assets are provided and licensed by Hasbro, it's likely that Queen Chrysalis is in the works as an actual figure in one of the upcoming Cutie Mark Crew blind packs or multi packs.
If you want to take a close look at the Queen Chrysalis figure in digital form you can check her now in the Quidd app on iOS and Android.

Below we have some more screenshots of what the 3D figure looks like within the app:

Disclaimer, if you don't want much info about season 8 you might want to skip this post. Or just look at the images. Anyway, time to discuss these two brand new brushables shall we?

We already knew that the upcoming My Little Pony movie was going to play a big part in this year's line-up, and besides the regular brushables we can now confirm that the full range of Guardians of Harmony figures will be based on MLP The Movie.
In the photo above (credits to MyFroggyStuff) you can clearly see all the sets that are currently on display at the New York Toy Fair, most of which we've seen in the MLP The Movie press release from Hasbro themselves. The only figure not announced before is Stratus Skyranger, who will be this wave's "big figure", just like Spike was in 2016. For now the Storm King + Grubber statue is the only announced figure in the Fan Series range. More may follow later this year.

A quick store finds post today as we've gotten quite some finds in a short time, and why wait? Below you can find some finds of really recent releases, being the Guardians of Harmony Queen Chrysalis Fan Series figure and the Fluttershy Runway figure.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Last week we asked for your thoughts on the new Wave 19 Blind Bags wave, which is the first rebranded blind bag set. The majority of you do like the new wave, mostly because of the new characters or the theme. Other popular votes are also from the 'yes'-side from fans of the poses or the fact that no mane 6 ponies are included. This is followed by the amount of people who actually would like to see the mane 6 in this wave, probably hoping for some new molds of all 6 (and I wouldn't blame you). All the other votes got 5% of the votes as maximum, consisting of most no or other votes.

A very sudden surprise for all the Queen Chrysalis and Guardians of Harmony fans out there! Out of nowhere ThinkGeek has started selling the Queen Chrysalis & Changelings Guardians of Harmony set. So far we only had an Amazon listing of the set, but no further announcements or sneak-peaks, and here it is, available in store and all! Based on the molding and box we learn that this figure is part of the Fan Series figures, in line with the current Discord, Princess Celestia and Nightmare Moon figures with detailed molding and comic-based poses.
The availability of this set can be an error and ThinkGeek can pull it from the shelves at any moment, so if this is a must-have for you, you might want to check out ThinkGeek stores, especially the one in Humble, TX (US) where this one was found.
