MLP Merch Poll #161 - Cutie Mark Crew

Link

#160 Results

Last week we asked you what is the most important thing (or feature) you're looking for in new My Little Pony lines. The most popular subject is something that we hear a lot in the comments: over 33% of you primarily want to see new characters get a release. Right after that, with 30%, is the overall design of the figure and almost 22% prefer show accurate figures. All other votes, which included a good price (7%) scored much lower and can be seen in the full list of results above.
And from that conclusion we jump right to the actual new line of 2018, which was ironically announced a day later.

This week we'd like to know whether you think the Cutie Mark Crew figures are the cutest figures by Hasbro to date or not! Can these win it from the Playskool figures? Or perhaps your favorite blind bags? Let us know!
You can find the current poll below or in the side bar on the right of the website, or towards the bottom of the page if you're using a smartphone.

• Just as cute as some other figures

MLP Merch Store Finds #47: Canvas Prints, Pirate Fluttershy, Clip & Go + Much More!

Link

We have a relatively small update on store finds this week, as we're clearly in a gap between the final sets from 2017 and the first mayor lines of 2018. Still, there are some cool updates that we can share today, so keep on reading for the latest updates from the aisles!
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

US - G1 and G4 Canvas Prints

If these look familiar, you're right! A few posts ago we talked about the Mystery Posters that were found at 5 Below, and these canvas prints use some of those designs too. In addition they've added glitter on the prints and there's a G1 variant available too. Exact measurements are unknown, but you can find them at Meijers.

US - Rainbow Dash Lamp at Target

Not sure if this is a new find, but this lamp is definitely sweet! The base is a very detailed Rainbow Dsah figure, and the lampshade is cute too! It's sold at Target, and while the images doesn't show it, online the Rainbow Dash lamp is available for $28.49 during the current sale.

The Netherlands - Twilight Sparkle's Undersea Carriage

And then a quick update from ourselves! Over at Intertoys you should now be able to find the Undersea Carriage with a cute dolphin and seapony Twilight Sparkle figure. This particular one was found at the store in Alkmaar.

US - Guardians of Harmony Pirate Fluttershy

I know a lot of people were looking for this, so we're happy to announce that the pirate Fluttershy figure from the Guardians of Harmony line is now available at Walmart! As always, availability can differ for every store. And of course feel free to support fellow collectors in the comments with your finds.
(Thanks to Breyer600)
Update: Fluttershy is also available in Turkey at Nezih (thanks Emirhan) 

Singapore - Massive Update at Toys"R"Us

We're glad to see that some of the recently announced stuff for 2018, while already being available on Amazon, is now also popping up in stores. While it's still only Singapore right now, this is a good sign for a quick release in other countries as well. Something that was interesting to see is how large the Clip and Go plush actually are! Releases further include the Tempest Shadow plush, new Flitter Celebration princesses, Land & Sea ponies, Spinning Skirt figures and the latest Playskool playsets.

Exclusive: New MLP Line: Cutie Mark Crew

Link

Think we have quite the scoop here. This morning I found some brand new interesting My Little Pony items. Looks like this year Hasbro will introduce a new My Little Pony themed sub-line called Cutie Mark Crew. By looking at other toy companies it's clear that mini-figures like Shopkins, Tsum Tsum's and many similar toys are quite popular these days. So Hasbro perhaps saw this as an opportunity to create something similar.


So far I managed to find 3 packs with a total of five figures. Four of them are visible and the fifth one is actually a surprise when you open it! (Although the stock images already reveal who it is) What's interesting is that besides ponies, this set also includes Equestria Girls and Seaponies so the variety is quite big and I hope they even include more like many new characters and races as well. (Zebra's and Changelings perhaps?) Not much other information is known but I expect that these will get some special attention during the New York Toy Fair this year so stay tuned for more info!

Have all the current sets below. If this line get's big (and we know this during the Toy Fair) it's very likely it will get a separate database on our website. :) So, what do you think of this line? It's something new in terms of MLP Merch and I personally find them adorable.

Fin-Tastic Field Trip Set

Includes Seapony Fluttershy, Seapony Pinkie Pie, Seapony Rainbow Dash, Seapony Twilight Sparkle and Seapony Rarity (Secret Figure)

Nature Club

Includes Seapony Applejack, Equestria Girls Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Flower Wishes (?) (Secret Figure)

Star Students Set

Includes Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia (Secret Figure)

We know that Wave 2 has been spotted at Target, so we're not really sure how new this is.

Over in Ireland it's time for the second wave of pearlized brushables, featuring Cherry Berry, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. They're available for €6,99 at Smyths. (Thanks to Sharon)

We're very happy with the growing amount of returning visitors and active people who share comments and merch findings with us. To have more fun with the community we've decided to start a series of polls on our website where you can give your opinion on merch, future releases or our website. You can find the current poll in the side bar on the right of the website, or towards the bottom of the page if you're using a smartphone. Each poll will run a week, from Monday (EU local time) through Monday. If polls are about (future) merch and have an interesting outcome, we will try to share the results with Hasbro (either through mail or Twitter). We don't know if they'll respond or do anything about the results, but we can always try :)

Right now we've got our very first poll running for the next month: What type of blind bag would you like to see for Wave 12?
We've seen a lot of different blind bag style from Hasbro so far, including normal, glitter and transparent, and also some special glow in the dark and metallic ones in wave 3 and 4. So vote now, and let us know what type op blind bag you'd like to see in the next wave! If you want to comment on your vote or the current results, feel free to leave your comment in this post!
