Dec 31, 2004
Ooo... new spring basket! Ponies include Lullabelle, Spring Breeze, and Dainty Daisy. You can see a picture on Bill's Toys and Games site (thanks, Tori).
Dec 28, 2004
Still updating. :) Wow, Sweet Summertime in the US? Found at Toys R Us by UnbeLITAble, the Seaside Surprise with Sweet Summertime set includes the pony with surfboard and other beach accessories and comes in a beachball-shaped plastic case. Oh, and in case you didn't know, MLP is coming to a McDonalds near you in the very near future. ;) If you're in the US, anyway.

Check your Target stores for Valentine's Day ponies, which might already be out at some stores... and some Toys R Us stores are having a buy-one-get-one free sale on ponies through the 1st of the year (thanks, Kimberly). It might be a good time to check out the bargains at stores near you.
Dec 25, 2004
Happy! Merry! Whoo-hoo! Or whatever you say on days like today. New Target exclusive Flitter Flutter found by Sea Glory. See her at the MLPTP. She is an exclusive scooter pony.
Dec 24, 2004
Always and Forever sighted on auction. See her here at the Arena. Thanks, Butterscotch! PS, in case you are wondering, the Arena has updated with a Christmas-theme layout. lol.
Dec 22, 2004
Wishawhirl reports sighting Strawberry Reef and Flippity Flop on Bill's Toys and Games site. Like Coconut Cream and Ribbon Wishes, we don't expect these out in stores just yet. These will probably be additions to the current Butterfly Island sets early next year.
Dec 21, 2004
Diamond Song reports that the Points Program has been updated! And Love Wishes is currently available for order. Phew! Had us worried there for a while! :) Also, check out the 3-foot Frilly Frocks, which you can get with 150 points!
Dec 20, 2004
Whippetluv reports new Avon exclusive ponies! Peach Surprise with Baby Tea Lily and Jazz Matazz with Baby Wave Catcher. See pics here. (In case you are wondering, the names are reversed on the catalog.) Also, the 4th edition rainbow ponies (including the hard to find 4) have hit Ireland (thanks, Coco Berry). PS, thanks Alice. Say hi to your girls for me. :) I had considered that about Love Wishes, too. Alice reports from a Hasbro rep about Love Wishes again. The pony's fate is still uncertain, so all we can do is wait and see...
Dec 18, 2004
Corrina shares images of new Lolligiggle pony, one of the set with Skedoodle. This is an Easter pony, with bunny ears and a little puff on her tail. :)
Dec 16, 2004 -- I actually read all my mail. :) So if I missed you, try again.
Hmm... Dec 15th update decided to go on vacation, I see. Well, I'll do it again. Haha. OK, I'm sure most of you have seen this already, but I'll just archive some of the things that happened while I was away... like, someone found 3-pack little plush ponies, Tink, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash. Tammy shares pics, including a shot of the new points, which have Frilly Frocks on them. I assume there will be no difference between new and old points, except the style.

 

Next... TraderTif reports the Charming Birthday episode now available for VideoNow Jr., one of Hasbro's hot toys for the holidays, which plays videos for kids. Kiwi spotted Beachwear ponies at Toys R Us in Ontario and the large plush ponies are out and about in Canada, too, at Wal-Mart. New Yarn Hair plush are available at some US K-marts. A new style of plush pony is available in crane machines. They are made with a shimmery material. KB Toys has gotten in the new Butterfly Island sets. You can also find these at some Wal-Mart stores and maybe at Target soon. Red Rooster restaurants in Australia have a new release of their plush keychains, including in this set: Fluttershy, Butterscotch, Triple Treat, and Star Catcher (thanks, miclin80). I also heard that Amazon ran out of Minty dressup ponies, but apparently those are back in stock now. While I know lots of collectors groan whenever a pony is reissued, I must say, there are a lot of parents out there who are sooo happy to see it because their kids all want one. So, Hasbro, it's time to reissue Kimono, because I get a lot of emails from parents looking for her.

Hasbro has a survey on the www.mylittlepony.com site that discusses options for the point program and gives them a little feedback on how it's going, so I recommend you take it once. Interesting to note, they are considering offering a 3-foot plush pony for 150 points.

Snohawk and others had this to share about Love Wishes. Some sources at Hasbro said Love Wishes was being sent out as a substitution for Sunshimmer, but Love Wishes might not be available for order at a later date. She might only be available to those with outstanding Sunshimmer orders. It is simply not clear at this time if Love Wishes will be available for order in 2005 or if it will be a new pony (we just don't know what they're doing yet). Hopefully we'll have more details on this situation soon, because they are supposed to update soon.

OK, and I know it has nothing to do with MLP, but in spring of '05, Breyer is coming out with these new ponies: Wind Dancers (MLPTP link). Take a peek and maybe you'll like these, too. Also be sure to keep an eye on all the online stores this holiday season to take advantage of free shipping and sale prices when they are offered. :)

PS Efrain, I hope you had a happy birthday. :)

I'm adding this one back just to have a spot to put this picture of Yours Truly. Pony is not out yet! She will be exclusive at Target in the US this year for Valentine's day. There will probably be three of them. So far we know the other one is named Always and Forever. Interesting that she comes packaged in a heart-shaped bubble. :) Images courtesy of Ponyville, thanks!

Well, I'm back. Did you miss me? :)

I think I will tackle my inbox tonight (haha) and then start site updates between snoozing and holiday shopping later today. Of course, I'll start with the checklists as those need updating the most. I see there is all kinds of news out there to catch up on.

Dec 03, 2004

News updates will begin again on Dec 14th, as well as updates to the rest of the site. 2005 product sections will go live at that time and some products will shift into the new category. All 2004 profiles will be updated by the end of the year. Please note that some of these pages are currently online, but I didn't have time to upload all the images. I'll finish this with the next update. Any additional information or picture requests will be added here in January. Our thanks, again and again, to everyone who helps to keep the site updated. It's been a busy year for ponies!

PS -- And an early Happy Birthday to Jennifer and anyone else out there celebrating a December birthday. :) Also check out Amazon.com for new pony products now available!
