The collection features their signature vintage-look with a mix of acrylic and resin resulting in large multi-layer brooches, earrings and a necklace with a 3D look. Also included are enamel pins and keychains.

This morning I stumbled upon quite an interesting piece of upcoming Merchandise, especially those who are fan of the first generation of MLP: New Zealand Mint who is known to release silver coins themed after famous IP's such as Lord of the Rings, Disney etc. has now listed a My Little Pony one!

The coin is made of 1oz of pure silver and features the original six ponies (Blossom, Blue belle, Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, Minty and Snuzzle) in full-color together with the logo and sun. The other side of the coin features a Niue two dollar design together with a portrait of the recently passed Elizabeth II as well as the year 2022. The coin comes protected in a transparant case and is boxed in a high quality packaging featuring Starshine. 

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!

The Virtual Running Club, an organization that promotes excercise through virtual runs/races, has announced a special My Little Pony themed challenge event: the My Little Pony Rainbow Retro Challenge, which includes exclusive rewards.

At MLP Merch we occasionally take a look at new release types or interesting figures to show you all details from in-hand merch. Today, with thanks to Nimrodel, we can take a closer look at the G1 pins that are exclusive to Entertainment Earth.

Entertainment Earth listed several new G1 Pins a few weeks ago. But today they have listed a whole new set of Pins for you to collect! Loungefly is continueing their G1 collection with these brand new Entertainment Earth exclusive blind box pins!

And we have some My Little Pony news from Australia. This might be already a bit old perhaps, but we still wanted to report about it since we think it's very interesting nonetheless: A total of three new Retro G1 plushies have been spotted by two different companies. Have all information below.

It's only a short week after the official announcement of the new Funko POP! retro My Little Pony figures, and we just got word that pre-orders are now available, including a Hot Topic and GameStop exclusive!

In total there are 6 regular-size Funko POP! figures and 2 keychains, all themed after G1 ponies. Blossom, Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, Minty, and Snuzzle will be generally available, while Blue Belle will be released as a Hot Topic exclusive, and a scented Cotton Candy will only be sold at GameStop. Blossom and Cotton Candy will also be released as smaller POP! keychains.

(Even though the Funko announcement says otherwise, Hot Topic and GameStop list their exclusives as is written in this post)

About two months ago a leak has appeared telling us that possible G1 Funko Pop Figures were on the way, this has now been confirmed as the first images have appeared. The images are actually from a video made by Funko Themselves (My Little Pony Part Starts at 14:10, you can find the video below)

An Instagram account dedicated to Funko Pop has posted a leak containing a lists of upcoming Funko Pop's. What's interesting is that this list also includes upcoming Retro Pony Pop's. These figures are all part of the original six collector ponies. (with the exception of Blue Belle who is absent for some reason.) The following figures will be released:

Last time we asked you whether you liked to 2017 MLP Merch Battles or not, and we're glad to see that most of the responses are positive! Almost 42% loved the battles, and another 26% likes it too, but with a few proposed changes. 14% likes it a bit and less than 2% didn't like it. That leaves 16% of the people that didn't join the battles, quite a low amount we think!
We hope to be able to share the winners of the battles with you all this week, so keep on the lookout for that!

Time to blow out some candles because this year My Little Pony of officially 35 years old now! And to celebrate that Target now sells the first set of the Year 1 Collector Ponies. This set includes Blossom, Blue Belle, Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, Minty and Snuzzle. They are $9.99 each and each pony also comes with a retro comb and Tail Ribbon.

Let's hope we'll see some more 35th Anniversary goods appear this year. Perhaps during this years Toy Fair?
Thanks to Lulamae_flyaway and afkosek for the heads up!
