New ponies Pick-a-lily and Sunny Salsa spotted by Kiyomi on Bill's Toys and Games. Not sure where this set is from yet, but the ponies appear to be super long hairs with dressup sets. Let us know if you spot them!

In its 3rd quarter, Hasbro reports that My Little Pony continues to show strong performance (despite disappointing results in some of its other brands). Go pony! :) Diamond finds super cute "Trick or Treat" bag at Toys R Us. Due to flu-like symptoms, additional updates may be delayed a day or so. To bed I go! Checklist, watchlist, product code updates pending...

Ah, it never fails. Sit down to do some major updating and your site goes down. Hello! We're back! First up, new ponies! Spotted on auction, Ribbon Wishes and July Jubilee! Ribbon Wishes is a previously mentioned Dazzle Bright pony (which we think has some kind of special cutie mark), and July Jubilee is a Jewel Birthday Pony! Now what's that about? Well, we're not sure yet, but it looks like there might be ponies for each month of the year. Apparently they will be Toys R Us exclusives. As we get more details, we'll let you know! See pics here (Arena link).

We appreciate everyone's efforts in keeping Ponytopia up to date. Thanks! :) *hands everyone a cookie* Now don't stop just because I said that... ;) I like mail.
October 10, 2004
MLPTP.com made its move today. It seems to be down at the moment, though, to fix something, so the old board is still active.
October 08, 2004
Sweet Reflections Dress Shop just found! This set comes with 4 ponies, including two new faces: Darling Dahlia and Goodie Goodie. The other ponies are Peri Winkle and Sky Wishes. The shop is in the cafe mold, with new colors, and some previously seen salon accessories. See closeup pics from dilandjensmom. Not sure where item was found, but you can find it on auction. In other news, new super long hair ponies, Dream Blue and Rainbowberry, spotted at Kmart in the US. See pics of the new MLP playhouse (MLPTP link). MLPTP transfer not yet complete.

New ponies found by Goddessofpeep! Star Shimmer! And Scooter Ponies!

Sunshimmer Update: you can call 1-800-353-1347 to check on your Sunshimmer order (thanks, Heidi!). I called about mine and they said they should be shipping out soon (I think to call it's just for US orders. Not sure about Canada, but I think you have to call Hasbro, CA). Sunshimmer was on backorder for a while, but looks like a new shipment has been received.

The MLPTP is moving to a new home. Some of you who use this board may have been avoiding it lately due to pop-ups and such. I'll update when the move is complete. All users will have to register again, though they recommend you use the same name, of course. :)

October 05, 2004 -- Vote for 2004 Toy Awards!
Get another look at some of the new ponies (thanks Akceberor; Arena link). It would appear Dazzle Bright ponies have "dazzling" cutie marks. Shimmer ponies have "super shiny" hair. JoshRules4Ever finds new ponies on auction. Fancy Flora and Sunshine Blossom (Arena link) come with a little garden fruit stand. Also see pics of Cherry Blossom Tiny Tin.

In other news... since I lost my pic of the waterglobe, you can see it here (MLPTP link). Chuck E Cheese cup, if you haven't seen it yet. Now we'll try to catch up on any news were were trying to catch up on before the new pony explosion. Kohls stores now carrying both Blossom Shop and Salon Value Packs (with 4 ponies).

New pony pictures! Get ready! Here they come! Images courtesy of Acecritter! Pony on! ;) Judging from the brochure cover and some of the new packaging, it looks like Butterfly Island is just the new theme like Frienship Ball... there is no indication of an actual playset.

October 03, 2004
Sunshimmer Update: Hasbro says she was removed from the site so they could catch up on current orders... (as you may know, most of us are still waiting for her to be shipped and processed by Young America). This shipment should start processing in the next few weeks (the postcard people are getting actually says it's going to be a 4-week delay).

Target Winter exclusives found in the US. WAIT! Remember, last year some Targets put the Winter series out before Halloween. Others made us wait until the holiday reset (which happens after Halloween). So stay on top of it, but don't get all freaky if you can't find them right away. ;)

October 02, 2004
Ponyville Tea Party, a new set spotted now at Costco (MLPTP link). Set includes Beebop, Sunset Sweety, Triple Treat, and Sky Wishes. Also, Angel Dove and Junebug available for order on www.entertainmentearth.com (check out the pics, too!) Must catch up...
