while the Yellow bags have been available on eBay overseas and through some Toy retailers for a few months, we've yet to see them in USA stores. I'm hoping to see this change in the next few months. Select retailers had a FEW in over Christmas, and that's likely to be just the tip of a coming influx. So, to get ready to find them all in stores, I've set up a handy ID graphic to help you spot the ponies you want in stores! It's also worth noting that the Princess blind bag figures (the Alicorn pose) is much larger than the others, and they HAVE packaged them with an extra plastic wedge to keep those extra long wings from bending. If all you want is to take home a princess, look for that extra bit of weight and that crunchy crackle inside the bag to know you've picked a winner. :)

It is officially Christmas Shopping Time! I actually enjoy the challenge of finding the perfect thing for the people on my list, though the wrapping decorating and traveling can be exhausting! The good news is we have a bunch of new pony products here for you to look at and bid on at my eBay store!
First up, Yellow Blind Bags! Celestia, Luna, and Cadence sells so fast I can't keep them in stock! I have two left, and I may get one more case in before Christmas. More than just them, we also have some beautiful pegasus and unicorns in this set, including Trixie! Take a look at all of the ponies photographed and identified for your convenience here http://mylittleponymadness.weebly.com/new-blind-bags-wave-5-yellow.html . Secondly, we have a fantastic stocking stuffer or quick gift for the pony fan in your life, NEW Coloring books with cover art featuring Cadence and ponies from the Royal Wedding. These Royal Wedding books come in pink, purple, yellow, and blue. They're also a good weight, and have over 50 pages, so even a dedicated artist won't be done with this in a day. Take a look at them here! http://mylittleponymadness.weebly.com/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-books.html I'm also putting in my FIRST order of the Blue-Purple Blind Bags, which include new Colts (painted versions of the glitter ponies mostly, these are significantly more masculine, if you have a Brony who needs a gift. ;) ) I look forward to having them in hand and adding their photos to the site. Til then, we're starting our countdown to Christmas. And whatever you celebrate this midwinter, have the happiest of Holidays! So I've been kindof neglecting this blog in favor of Facebook posts ( http://www.facebook.com/mylittleponymadness ) but I know some of you are still checking the blog for updates. I am NOW selling Wave 3 German Blind Bags, including the 4 Ultra rare COLTS! Check the bottom of this page http://mylittleponymadness.weebly.com/new-blind-bag-ponies-imported.html for pictures! The first 12 are being listed, and I hope to have pictures of the rest soon. I should be getting 2 more cases in by Monday (I have to say I love it when the Euro is weak! It makes buying internationally that much more satisfying.)
BIG Exciting things are on the horizon for Blind Bags! The NEXT UK/German release has been leaked. It probably won't be in stores for another eight or nine months, BUT WE HAVE PICTURES! http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/03/tons-of-new-blindbags-actual-lyra.html The next wave includes minis of Princess Celestia, Cadance, and Luna! I'm supre excited. It's also harder to tell (the images maybe off color) but it looks like the Twilight Sparkle in this release is more pastel than her usual pain. PLUS this release inclues a GLOW IN THE DARK Fluttershy! The ost doesn't have images of all 24 so I'm hoping their might be a GID Rainbow Dash or Applejack in the works soon. Also, for my friends in Europe if Hasbro sticks to their release timeline, we have only a month or two of waiting left for the GLITTER PONIES! http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/11/blindbags-set-3-namessummariesimages.html (I estimate a 6/2012 release month. This is NOT confirmed by anyone in Hasbro, these are my calculations based on the past 3 releases ONLY.) But WAIT! There's MORE! My fellow compatriots in the USA are not neglected! Assuming all goes according to plan, and Hasbro doesn't decide to torment us by making us wait MORE than 6 months between releases (They can be mean, mean people to rabid collectors.) Then we will be seeing Wave 2 Blind Bags start to hit USA retailers! (Shown here, midpage http://mylittleponymadness.weebly.com/new-blind-bag-ponies-imported.html ) I really hope Hasbro sticks to their schedule, because I am already desperate for more. I missed out on the Wave 2 release in Europe, and I was only able to get one set before they went out of stock online. Which subsequently meant I sold several before realizing I'd not have any for me to KEEP! (Yes, my collection is my primary focus in acquiring ponies. I buy for myself, then buy extra to sell.) For those of you who are NOT Blind Bag addicts, I'm going to keep selling the G3 Ponyville inventory and the adult G3 ponies that I have, but I'm not looking at buying up more inventory right away. I am still open to trades so check My Wish List if you're interested. Primarily I'm channeling my business toward the new ponies because it requires less work from me washing and styling hair. Keep checking back for what's new! And as always take a look at my listings on ebay for what's new! |
