Kimberly reports finding another Target exclusive today. She says the pony’s name is Royal Ribbon and she is pink with blue glitter hair and a princess hat symbol. She comes with a princess hat and cape. You can see pictures courtesy of Kcat99. Katybug found a very interesting Aloha Pearl and Bellaluna with a Goody Gumdrop sticker on it, so be on the lookout for mismatched items. They are at least good for a chuckle! Closeup symbols of Wing Song and Goody Gumdrop courtesy of Cuddlyheart parrot.

New Target Exclusive Super Hair Pony Wing Song (with butterfly symbol) and Baby Goody Gumdrop (with gumdrop symbol) now spotted.  Wing Song is pearly violet-pink with pale yellow hair. Gumdrop is white with lavender hair. See pics here courtesy of Cheshiregrin. Pics of Aloha Pearl and Baby Bellaluna out of box here courtesy of Cuddlyheart parrot. I now has an answer for the #1 most frequently asked question that I receive. “Where can I find MLP birthday supplies?” Tonya reports that Birthday Express expects to have the MLP theme in stock around mid-February (need something before then, try the rainbow unicorn theme). Cherry Treats found a new backpack with Sunny Daze on it at TRU. It comes in blue or pink and comes with a bonus pencil case. Crystal Crown has NOT been spotted yet as far as I’m aware. Let me know of you spot one!

More Aloha Pearls and Baby Bellalunas have been spotted... keep an eye out! ;)

New Hasbro FAQ announces that the new baby ponies (green and purple) do not have names. (Sorry, I still find this hard to believe, but there you have an official Hasbro statement on the matter). Interesting news brought to us by Satin Slipper about the current and upcoming Australian line. Of note, there will be 3 new Glitter ponies and 3 new Rainbow ponies and also a Spring Basket playset with 3 ponies: Garden Glade, Bubblecup, and Wishawhirl. (Please note that it is highly likely that these items will be sold in other countries like the US). US Targets are expecting Super Hair ponies by the end of the year (with free babies, thanks, smarties49). Today Hasbro sent out another mass email, this one being about Crystal Crown and Spring Fever in the Tea Party set. Crystal Crown and her Wishing Well are said to be at K-B Toys now, though no one has seen her yet. We already knew about Spring Fever a while ago, so that's OK. A special box set of Birthday Celebration with Razzaroo, Sunny Daze, and Wysteria spotted (thanks, Delilah).

New pony spotted today by JenJam! Pony is Aloha Pearl, a super-hair pony like Rainbow Flash and Petal Blossom. She also comes with a free baby pony named Bellaluna and is a Toys R Us exclusive!

Pinkie Pie Playdoh set found at Lewis in South Dakota (Lewis is drug store described as a miniature K-mart; thanks, Jessica). New MLP Activity book spotted at Wal-Mart (thanks, Kimono 11). See pictures of the new velvet pictures and mini-doodling sets courtesy of Cherry Treats.

Some of us were noticing that the new green baby pony looks a bit like this prototype baby shown in the castle picture.

Blossomforth now spotted at Toys R Us (thanks, SkyeSurfer).

An update on the free baby pony promotion: some K-mart stores are carrying Rainbow Flash and Petal Blossom without the babies or have a mixed assortment of both with and without the babies. We can only assume that future shipments might have babies in them, so keep checking around if you cannot find them at first. There has been no indication that the babies are exclusive to K-Mart, but so far they have only been spotted there. Taffeta also reports finding Glitter II ponies in the UK, so looks like new ponies are on their way to shelves over there.

Thanks, Paint_Kitty for images of the free baby ponies that come with Rainbow Flash and Petal Blossom! Free Baby Purple   Free Baby Green   Petal Blossom   Rainbow Flash

PS. When you find a new pony in your area, post your location here to help others!

Alliedmustang reports finding Rainbow Flash WITH FREE BABY PONY at a Big K-mart in California. Petal Blossom was also there with a free baby pony. The baby with Rainbow Flash is purple with orange/pink/white hair and a flower symbol. The baby with Petal Blossom looked similar to Minty. The babies do not appear to have names. The purple one is in Pink Sunsparkle's pose. The other one may have been in different pose.

She has also spotted bedsheets and pillow covers in Finland (packaging reads in Finnish, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian, so it is likely available in all Scandinavian countries).
