After eBay UK and Toys"R"Us Singapore, the latest EqG Minis series is now available on Amazon. The Mall Series singles all marked as "In Stock", so there's no limited stock at the moment.
This first wave of singles features Trixie, Derpy/Muffins, Sweetie Drops, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Roseluck. Yep, that means no Lyra to accompany Sweetie Drops / Bon Bon this time, but who knows what the following waves will feature!
All links to the listings are available below:

• Derpy/Muffins Mall Collection Singles
• Rainbow Dash Mall Collection Singles
• Roseluck Mall Collection Singles
• Sweetie Drops Mall Collection Singles
• Trixie Lulamoon Mall Collection Singles
• Twilight Sparkle Mall Collection Singles

It's been well over 2 months since we first saw official images on Amazon about the EqG Minis Mall Series figures, and now it's finally time for the first sets to be available. The first wave of single characters features Trixie, Derpy/Muffins, Sweetie Drops, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Roseluck and every character comes with their own piece of headgear and base. Currently the only known listing where they're available is over on eBay UK, but a wider release is bound to happen really soon. The seller is US-based, so it's unsure in which country the Minis have arrived first, but keep an eye out for stores to get these in stock, wherever you live.
Thanks to Chloe for the heads-up!

The first batch of the new Equestria Girls Minis we saw during the NY Yoy Fair this year has appeared on Amazon and several other websites. The theme for this line will be the mall with some of the characters having shops. Amazon has listed the Mall Collection Singles which includes a lot of new characters as well like Derpy/Muffins, Trixie and Roseluck and more.

Hasbro has released their official press statement for the upcoming line of Equestria Girls for 2017. Several figures have already been announced before, but there is plenty of new merch coming our way the coming months, including some interesting names! Expect sets with Starlight Glimmer, Daring Do, Trixie, Muffins (Derpy) and more, including a new character: Juniper Montage!
A big point of attention is the fact that all listings for this year's Equestria Girls line-up consists of Minis and with that it's officially over for the Equestria Girls dolls line. We'll await the Toy Fair for a definite conclusion, but the released info is a pretty big hint.

We've listed all press release information below and highlighted the more interesting names to make it a bit more readable.

Finally we get some more official info on the wave 16 blind bags, this time through Amazon.
Not only do we see some of the figures more detailed than ever, this also reveals the final bag and card designs. Earlier this week we anticipated the blind bag codes for this wave, and it matches! Below we have the complete list of codes and characters, but you can also find them in our MLP Blind Bag Database (we'll update the images later).

 Two possible Wave 16 Blind Bags have been spotted on Ebay. We Already posted about Sassaflash who would be part of Wave 16 some days ago but a new Nightmare Night-themed chase figure has been found as well: Fiddly Faddle (or Fiddlesticks, she's named Fiddly Faddle in the CCG).
Together with her we also found a new Roseluck Blind Bag who looks a bit pearlized. We already speculated that Wave 16 is going to be a sort-off re-release of Wave 6 with including the same characters and I think we can confirm that now.

Ponymania Friendship Blossom Collection

After the findings Queen Chrysalis at Toys"R"Us, now the Maud Pie single and Friendship Blossom Collection are also spotted in stores. Maud Pie is available for $9.99, and the collection is $29.99 and features 6 decorated ponies. We're also still waiting for more Equestria Girls dolls in the Ponymania line, such as Lily Valley, but we've yet to get more info on these.
Thanks to Felipe for the images taken at Toys"R"Us Chicago!

Even though this set had already been spotted at Toys´R´Us Australia. There still hasn't been an online listing and as so far, the image from that post was the only there was right now. But today this set was spotted on Taobao so now we can take a better look at it. We also now have a picture of the back of the box which shows one thing.
Lavender Honey´s name actually never got confirmed. A lot of people called her Lavender Honey but it was unclear if Hasbro would also use this name. Turns out they don´t. Her real name is Sunshine Petals.

Let´s hope this set will be in the US soon as well online. We will keep you guys updated!

It seems like the HasbroToyShop has listed a lot of new items! Several Friendship Games dolls are now available for order. Some people might remember the Neon/Encore Cheerilee, Lyra, Sweetie Drops, Roseluck and Amethyst Star Dolls. Well, you can now also order them at last! Below we have all the doll listings together with the price.
