Hasbro has released two new official commercials. The first one is for the Guardians of Harmony Action figures and it shows some of them like Cheese Sandwich and Pinkie Pie, the Wonderbolts and the large Spike.
The second one is a commercial for the Nightmare Night Friendship is Magic Collection. It showcases all the figures including the chase figures for the Nightmare Night Themed Blind Bag waves as well.

You can watch the commercials below:

We've worked hard on another update, which directly follows up the changes we applied yesterday. First we've changed the eBay links so that you can pick your own region (US, UK, AU, etc.). Simply login to your account and select your preferred location. All links in the database will then change to your region.

Another big change that we've applied is in regard to the Blind Bag Cards Database, where we now show the front and back of each card directly next to each other. We've also added the (missing) cards of Wave 16A, 16B, 17 and 18 to the database. Feel free to send us a mail if you own any cards we don't have scans of yet.

Over on Kotaku, Hasbro has exclusively revealed the first details and pages of the upcoming Guardians of Harmony comic line, which was announced back when the first GoH figures were shared.
The first issue will be released on December 1st as a digital comic, and a "full print version" will be available in February 2017. It was not mentioned whether the latter is a physical release of the first issue or the paperback.
Below you can see a preview (warning: spoilers) of the first chapter that was released as a teaser. (Click the images to enlarge)

Over the past few years we've gotten dozen of requests to include eBay links in our post and database. While we're not a fan of directly linking to auctions (those links are only valid for a few days or weeks), we've come up with a way to utilize eBay listings without directly linking to them.
As of today every item in our MLP Merch Database has an easy link to eBay search pages matching that item. This is extremely handy for older items that are no longer available on Amazon, or are otherwise hard to list. A good example of this is the CCG and TC database, which would have caused an immense big workload on our side if we were to add Amazon links, but with the eBay button you can quickly search the title of the card and find all matching auctions.

We hope you all enjoy this new feature, but be sure to let us know if you have any feedback. We also plan to implement this on our other sites MH Merch and EAH Merch if the feedback is good :)

We know that the pearlized brushables are not widely available in the US, but as we've heard they are in stock at Big Lots. Personally I have no idea how well know this retailer is, but judging by the amount of stores they have most people in the US will at least be able to locate one.
The figures are $5 there, and for now the first wave has been confirmed to be available: Coloratura, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy & Starlight Glimmer.
Thanks to theshyprinprin for the image!

After some early scoops on new blind bags we can finally confirm what Wave 18 looks like! The wave has been announced and the main line of figures have embedded glitter, some of them with a more gold-ish tint. The chase figures are still in line with the Nightmare Night theme, which includes Mr. and Mrs. Cake, Raven Inkwell, Minuette and Sprinkle Medley. The core of this wave consists of Wave 8 re-release figures, but there have been several changes, for example: Flim and Flam are not included in this wave.
Below we have a group shot of all ponies, including their blind bag codes. You can get a closer look at the figures in our MLP Blind Bag Database.

Last week we asked you what your thoughts were on the new brushable style. Most of you gave a positive answer with 35% saying yes, and another 15% liking some of the new figures. 22% of you think Hasbro could have done a better job, but another 22% fully dislikes them. The other 5% of the votes were from people not liking brushables at all, or had an other opinion all together.

It's been a while since our last store finds, but plenty of stuff has been submitted lately! Below you'll find some new releases in the UK and the US.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

After the short flash sale a few days ago the first HEART MLP dolls by Integrity Toys have shipped. Thanks to two kind readers we now have some more detailed images of the actual dolls. The Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle inspired dolls and sparkling_stargazer and sonic_rainbow_92 are still available, plus this might help people to decided whether they'll order and of the other upcoming dolls too, once they're announced.
Thanks to rainbow-plastic-obsession and Victor for the images!

And last solicitations for 2016 have arrived. Next month we'll get to see what 2017 has to offer. Anyways as always a new issue of the Friendship is Magic Series has been announced together with a new Friends Forever one. Have all the information and covers below!

The new brushables that have been spotted as of last week are spreading slowly from Taobao to eBay, but new figures are still popping up. This time on eBay the existence of three more figures was confirmed: a second Rarity figure with a new pose and eye design, a Rainbow Dash figure with a closed mouth and Applejack with new eyes and an open mouth. Above you can get a good look at the comparison between all the characters (do note that a second Fluttershy and Princess Celestia are not included in the picture above).
We were still not able to retrieve further information on the name of the series or addition details on the rebranding, but of course we will share this as soon as we hear it.
Below we have some focus shots of the new figures:

A lot of new Blind Bags have been spotted on Taobao. First of all we get a look at the Nightmare Night Themed Mr. Carrot Cake but then we also got a bunch of new characters. You can find them all below. (with the exception of Fancy Pants which you can see in the image above) What's interesting is that almost all of these are Rarity related or they aired in an episode where Rarity was present. This could indicate that they are perhaps the chase figures of Wave 18 which is combined with the Rarity Friendship is Magic Collection set. Still that's just speculation for now but a lot of Rarity Themed Amazon listings have appeared on Amazon lately. (here and here)

Build-a-Bear has shared that their Twilight Sparkle plush is back in stock, in both stores and online. The plush figure has not been changed, but people who were not able to order her at the first release will be happy to get another chance.
Below we have listings for Twilight and her accessories on the US Build-a-Bear website, but most stores should have her back in stock too. Other countries might not have Twilight back in stock, or still have her available.
Thanks to Victor for the info!

So far we've seen almost the whole Mane Six in the new Brushable style with the exception of Pinkie Pie and Rarity. But they have now appeared on Ebay. As you can see each of them have a different body as well which was a big wish for most MLP Collectors: More variety in poses. Still it's unknown to which line these belong but they are probably for the movie. Lets hope we'll spot some of these in packaging soon.

Thanks to Aquatic Neon EclipsedFlame for the heads up!

Teepublic is holding their monthly sale again and for the occasion I've made lots of new designs. All T-Shirts are now only $14 but they have other apparel and cool items on sale as well like mugs and phone cases. As always you can find the designs in our Teepublic Store. We'll also include a link to the new designs as well. You can find those below.

The newly announced Princess Twilight Sparkle comic, part of the My Little Pony Animated series, is available for pre-order. This comic features the season 4 episodes Princess Twilight Sparkle Part 1 and Part 2 from the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic TV-series. This results in 148 pages of perfect stills from the show, bundled in one paperback comic.
It's set for a December 20 release, but pre-orders are now available for $7.99 each.
Below we have some more detailed information on the comic:

Last week we asked you whether you wait for a sale before buying ponies. The results are pretty even, with the most votes going to 'sometimes'. Then it's pretty much divided between no (26%) and yes for non-favorite figures (24%). Besides that 11% always buy ponies during sales, and 3% of the respondents does not buy merch at all.

We first found out about these only three days ago and they are already hot news at the moment. It still unknown to which set these new brushables belong to but it's most likely that these are for the upcoming movie. Anyway a new listing on Taobao has been spotted. This listings shows a new Fluttershy (she was found earlier but we waited to post her until now. Thanks to Ayu and Twilight for the heads up) we also get a first look at the new Rainbow Dash. What's also interesting is the fact that in the group shots you can see that Lyra has an production code on her hoof which makes these indeed official.

I'm curious about Pinkie Pie and Rarity. Let's hope we get more info soon!

We've just released a huge update for the MLP Merch Brushables Database which adds 3 new ways to interact with the database. The reason why only the Brushables Database has been updated is that adding these features takes quite some time for our side, and we want to make sure that what we created works smooth and suits your wishes.
So, on to the new features!

Those who never got the opportunity to get their hands on a Minty brushable will probably rush to their local Toys"R"Us or their website after reading this: The Midnight in Canterlot set has been re-released, still with all the ponies from the original release back in 2013.
The set is available for $29.99, which sounds like steal to me, and can be bought on the TRU website or in local stores.
While the contents have not changed since the first released, the box has barely been touched either. Only the copyright year was updated to 2016, but the old logo is still their, as well was the 'hub'-logo from the TV-channel that has been renamed to Discovery Family almost 2 years ago.
The re-release of this set may also be the reason why Minty brushables have started to pop-up on eBay and Taobao again as of lately. With this release we don't think that Minty will be featured in another set for the near future.

Thanks to Felipe and Missy for the info!

The Japanese retailer 390 (also known as Thank You Mart or Sankyu Mart) is known for selling items at their signature price of 390 yen (about $4). As of last week they released an exclusive My Little Pony line, with all items sold at the same price of 390 yen.
Included in the line are backpacks, keychains, pins, earrings, hair accessories and pouches.
It's highly unlikely that these will ever be available outside Japan, so this is exclusive to those who live there or are planning to visit the country. Nevertheless is this a very cute line of items with some more unique products and designs. Below are more details images of what's available.
Thanks to Stinken1 and Ayu for the heads-up!

Our Back to School giveaway has ended, and this time the winner is from Instagram!
We do like to thank everybody who joined in, and we'll make sure to get another giveaway out when we can. Also, we will post about future sales on Teepublic, so that if you're still looking to get a shirt with one of Ilona's design on it, you can get them at a discount. So keep an eye out for that.

Last week we asked you how you are planning to watch the upcoming Equestria Girls movie Legend of Everfree. Most of you do not want to wait and watch it straight at the premiere, which will be on Netflix. Second place is other streaming websites, so streaming movies is really popular among you all! Just behind that is the 'other' option (but we didn't get any replies about what they meant with that) followed by Discovery Family. The DVD/BluRay is the second to last option, with only Video on Demand getting less votes.
