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!

 Today I've spotted a very interesting new set on Shopee/Taobao: These adorable Crystal Blocks figures by MGL Toys. They seem to be modeled after the Cutie Mark Cew line and included are the whole Mane Six together with spike. Every figure comes in it's own box with the picture on the front showing you which character you'll be getting. So no blind boxes! No dimensions for the figures itself are listed but the boxes are 11 cm/4.3 inches tall so I expect the figures to be around 3 inches.

The listing we managed to found has them listed for RM59.90 which is about $14 USD however this is with the current 49% sale. Their normal price is around $27 USD You can find the listing here!

Big news coming from the 2023 Preview & 2022 Holiday Market this week where Basic Fun revealed their line-up for next year. This is all centered around the 40th anniversary of My Little Pony (yes, the last celebration is already 4 years ago) and included in their plans is something very special: the never released Celestial Ponies!

 

UPDATE: And Prime Day is over! Hopefully you were able to get ponies at a great discount during the two days. Below discounts are no longer available, but you can always check our G5 Amazon idea list for any discounts during other sales.

It's Prime Day! Amazon's annual sale, just for Prime members, is back with two days of deals across all categories. We already scouted the toys section for My Little Pony deals and found some deals worth mentioning, including G5 sets!

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...

With all the supply chain issues and shortages going on we're surprised to announce that the second series of Kwistal Fwenz by Mighty Jaxx is released early! Originally planned for 22 June, but they managed to get enough stock and orders can be placed right now for both the full box and single packs.

After releasing two waves of Hidden Dissectibles, Mighty Jaxx started a brand new series of My Little Pony figures at the end of last year with the Kwistal Fwenz. While this was a surprising move from Mighty Jaxx, knowing their regular line-up, it did turn out to be a success and that's why we can now share the second series with you!

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)

Aside from retail stores, we've seen several series of plush to release exclusively as arcade hall prizes. In 2020 we'll see at least two new My Little Pony plush lines as arcade-prize manufacturer Toy Factory announced their new line-up.

We're back from our holiday and are back to share the latest MLP news with all of you! On our way back we were able to pick up Rainbow Dash from the My Little Pony Happy Meal 2019 line, and no, we didn't go through Switzerland. Here in The Netherlands McDonald's launched the same line of Happy Meal figures, which includes unique versions of Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle.
But there is more news, as the line is also available in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. However, in those countries the set does not only contain the ponies mentioned above, but features new figures of Starlight Glimmer and Spike as well! Pictures of both are shown below.
More countries could potentially receive this set in the future, as we've seen delays of months between countries in the past, but we don't have any definitive information on that.

If you can't wait for them to become available in your country: the first listings for these figures are now available on eBay.

Thanks to Sil for the heads-up!

It could be that this set is already in-stores for quite some time. But we never got any notifications. But today I spotted this set on the website of Toys'R'Us Singapore. This set is called "Pinkie Pie Birthday Surprise" and it comes with a 6-inch Pinkie Pie and Spike. Just like the other Birthday Ponies, it's a Toys'R'Us Exclusive.

Remember the Stack'ems? These were Tech4Kids' (now Basic Fun) take to rival Disney's Tsum Tsum stackable figures. Back in 2016 they were announced at the Toy Fair, only to be released a whole year later. This year they announced their second series of Stack'em figures, but got overshadowed by Hasbro's own stackable figures: the Cutie Mark Crew blind packs.
Despite that, Basic Fun has continued their promised line-up of Series 2 Stack'em figures, which can now be found at Walmart. There's a total of 12 figures to collect: Cheerilee, DJ Pon-3, Muffins/Derpy, Octavia, Princess Luna and Spike. All in both regular and clear versions.
Thanks to @mlp.collection for the photo!

The release of the Cutie Mark Crew Happy Meal figures at McDonalds's restaurants across Europe and parts of Asia raised a lot of questions in the US whether the figures would be released on their continent as well. After a short wait we can finally confirm that both Cutie Mark Crew and Transformers Happy Meal toys are coming up as the next series in the US! This next toy refresh is most likely planned for September 17-18.
More countries, like Canada, Mexico and Australia, also missed out on the initial release, but we have yet to receive an official announcement for those locations.
In the mean time Argentina already confirmed availability of the Cutie Mark Crew figures at their restaurants, and even included a clip that demonstrates what figures are available and how they work.

Amazon has updated several of their listings including those for the Princess Clip & Go Plush. A few days ago we found the official stock images for Princess Cadance and Luna, but Amazon has now updated the listing for Celestia as well which shows the official HQ stock image.

Yesterday we blogged about the Target-Exclusive Cutie Mark Crew Set, and this morning we posted about the 35th Anniversary Pretty Parlor set which has been found at Target as well. And just now Target has listed both items on their website including some HQ stock images, info and a way to order them online as well. Both sets retail for $19.99, have the listings + more below!

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.

Thanks to one of our readers we now know that there will be exclusive Cutie Mark Crew sets, as this set has been spotted at Target. This set called the "Sparkly Sweets" Set and contains the whole mane-six as ponies + Spike and a hidden figure. (who turns out to be Princess Celestia with a glitter mane) Each figure also comes with a cute Glitter-Covered Food-themed item hence the name Sparkly Sweets.
