My Little Pony G4 Merchandise

Anon also said: i mean, this blog is pretty dead and I noticed it long before you even posted that update. no offense but its kinda pointless to even keep it active when mlp-merch pretty much covers all new releases. there's also the mlparena which has members post things long before this blog ever has. just sayin...

There's still plenty of information that people are googling and using as reference on this site, as well as posts they have in their likes to come back to at a future date. Why should I remove a site that costs me no money to keep up and people are still using?

As you all have probably noticed, this blog has been pretty dead. This is because I moved from New England to San Francisco and started up a full-time job, which means being a real adult with going to bed early, waking up early, cooking dinner and cleaning the house, so I really don't have the time to run this blog anymore.

This is where you come in! You'll be writing posts for both this site and Derpy Hooves News (to which this tumblr is essentially reposting, with just minor formatting adjustments). I and the other editors will get you up to speed and help you improve your writing skills. You could even go to cons for free via press pass! 

OFFICIALLY they get two boxes per week: 2 boy toys and 2 girl toys. Second week they get another set of boxes with 2 more girl toys and 2 more boy toys. So on and so forth until the end of the promotion, then they do whatever toy line is next.

What usually ends up happening with pony though is that they get hit really hard and the managers end up ordering more toys so that they don't run out. So they end up cycling through the 4 weeks of toys by the end of the second week.

So if you want to get every toy possible, go to really out of the way McDonald's (like at truck stops), have a friend that works at McDonald's grab some for you, or roughly every 2-3 days and say "get me whatever you have."

When you contact Hasbro for information, they can only tell you info that's publicly available. Which is nothing so far! 

That would be extremely difficult to do! It all depends on what your local store does and has. My main store while at college had a G3.5 playset on clearance for more than a year. I've had people tell me that their main Walmart stopped carrying ponies all together because they just never sold. So even if I post what they SHOULD have, it probably won't match your individual store, as each manager has different ideas as to what needs to be stocked and each area sells different stuff.

Not everything at Target is stocked online! "Cheap" stuff tends not to be listed online, as it's generally not worth it to ship it out. A good example is that section of $1-ish stuff that's always by the front doors.

Once again, Taobao is leaking pictures of upcoming blindbags. Most likely, this will be part of a miniature collection, as it's not matching any styles of known upcoming blind bags.

In generations past, some ponies were sold with simply a plastic bag as the packaging. Now this trend has popped up in G4 with ponies at Target.

  They're for sale for $3 each, and only comes with one pony. They don't have as much eye details and their head mold is the same. The cheaper toy is excellent for a quick grab for kids or for creating custom toys. Currently there's Pinkie, Rainbow, Rarity, Cheerilee, Applejack and Lily Blossom.

It's possible that other ponies could be included or this type of toy could expand into other stores, but right now they're only in Target.

The folks over at All About MLP Merch  have compiled pictures and cards of all the wave 10 blind bags. This line features figures that have printed eyes and cutie marks, painted manes/tails/accessories and glitter all over their bodies.
