One of the biggest My Little Pony figure hits from 2020 were the Hidden Dissectibles ponies. These blind bags featured unique My Little Pony sculpts with half dissected ponies. Many people wanted to see more ponies in this same style, and they have been heard: Mighty Jaxx just announced their second series of My Little Pony Hidden Dissectibles!
Update: Series 2 Hidden Dissectibles are now available! Check our review for all details or get them directly at Mighty Jaxx (you can use our referal link for $10 off $100)

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.

We've posted about several ponies from this set from some time now, including at the SDCC this year, and we already anticipated on a larger, store exclusive set. Today we got the confirmation that this indeed is the case: say hello to the School of Friendship Collection Pack!
The full set consists of the CMC, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Spike along with over 35 accessories. As seen this set is divided into four classes, each with 2 characters and several accessories: Rarity's fashion lesson, Pinkie's baking class, Rainbow Dash's speed lesson and Applejack's outdoor class.

A small update on the upcoming Cutie Mark Crusaders brushables from the School of Friendship line today! On Taobao a photo was spotted where the three did not only have their painted on clothing, but also fabric skirts and accessories. As seen above Apple Bloom is carrying saddle bags and Scootaloo comes with a helmet. Sweetie Belle is currently only seen wearing her skirt, but that might change once we finally get to see them in packaging.
I bet people will be happy with that news, as a recent poll we held showed that painted on clothes are far from popular. Personally I think it's a great combination to see, and wonder if other ponies in the set (like Starlight Glimmer) get additional clothing as well.
Speaking of other ponies, if you look closely on the photo above, between Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, you can see a Fluttershy brushable with what looks to be a new outfit. If my eyes don't deceive me she's wearing a skirt/dress as well, combined with painted on shoes and a headband. While it's not very clear, we hope to get more information on these upcoming ponies in the coming weeks.
Thanks to Tomo for the info!

Amazon UK has listed quite an unexpected and exciting new set! The Cruising Cutie Mark Crusaders set to be exact and it contains the Cutie Mark Crusaders with molded manes and articulation. Scootaloo comes with her own scooter as well! But there are also some other accessories like a cart which can be attached to the scooter, and some in-line skates. Also, notice that Apple Bloom got the wrong eye-color on the loose product image photo's. However it's fixed with the in-packaging image so it's most likely a Prototype that was photographed.

Last week we asked you who your currently favorite pony from the mane 6 is, and compare the results to the last time we asked this, which was about 3.5 years ago. The first thing that we can see is that Twilight Sparkle jumped from place #4 to #1 in this year's results, and Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are more or less still as popular as before. Like Twilight, Applejack too got more popular, but Rarity saw the biggest decrease, and effectively switch placed with Twilight: from spot
1 to 4.

Scootaloo had the spotlight two weeks ago for being the first filly that was released after the reboot series started in 2017, and she had her cutie mark! Of course Scootaloo is never alone, so it was only a matter of patience before the complete Cutie Mark Crusaders trio would show up.
And that turned out to be today, as on eBay a listing has been posted featuring the complete CMC, all with their School of Friendship Outfit and cutie marks.
While the outfits and shoes are all the same, every one of them has a different pose: Scootaloo has an open mouth, Sweetie Belle a closed one and Apple Bloom has a raised hoof.
We don't have any further information on the release of the crusaders, but expect them to be bundled into a 3-pack that will be available towards the summer.

Last week we asked you who your favorite figure from the new EqG Minis Theme Park Collection is. The results were actually pretty close this time, with Sunset Shimmer winning this poll! On a close second place we can find Twilight Sparkle, followed by a bigger gap to the ponies that both got the same amount of votes to claim place #3: Pinkie Pie & Rarity. This leave Rainbow Dash in the final place, yet she managed to get over 10% of the votes.

Over on AliExpress four new brushables appeared that will be part of the School of Friendship line. Right now Twilight Sparkle, Rarity and Scootaloo were spotted, the latter being the very first filly-sized brushable since the reboot line started last year.
Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and Scootaloo are dressed (painted, not removable) in school uniforms, while there's also a second Twilight Sparkle found that has no outfit, but features some multi-colored ribbons in her hair.
Because they were only found online, we have no idea what release type these brushables are going to get. Be aware that this could become a larger store exclusive set (e.g. Target).
Thanks to Monster Glad for the heads-up!
