About Sunshimmer: As you may be aware, Sunshimmer is no longer available for order on the official site. She is currently on backorder with Young America (the company handling the promotion in the US). It would appear the initial shipment was just to cover Dazzle backorders (and then some). If this is true, then those of us with pending orders might still get her, but if you didn't order her yet or did so only more recently, you might not get her... Hasbro says more will be shipped to YA in the near future, but we still have to wait for YA to process the orders. As for Hasbro, Canada, last we heard they were still waiting for Sunshimmer to arrive.

News from all over... that Pepperberry will be part of a KB Toys promotion, buy X amount of pony product and get Pepperberry free. Haven't confirmed how much. Supposed to start this week... reminds self to post pics of cup and pics of jewelry box. Also, check out the new Dance Studio web game on www.mylittlepony.com. You can make your little ponies dance. ;) Baby Sparkleberry Swirl and the new PC game now out at some TRU and Wal-Mart stores. :)

Sea Glory and Ilfiorelaluna spot more new ponies... these will be be auctioned by WorldinAdvance (now on eBay). Ponies include Magic Marigold, Sweet Breeze, Gardenia Glow, and Heather Winds (new rainbow/glitters).

Mintyone notices that the Pony Points program no longer has Sunshimmer listed. In fact, it says COMING IN EARLY 2005: New Limited Edition MY LITTLE PONY Figure. Well, I haven't gotten my Sunshimmer yet either... so I don't know what this means (rumor has it she's on backorder). A new order form has been added to the site, if you click the very bottom links on the points page. Right now you can order the video or the playmat. A poster will also be joining the points program. No pics of the new items yet.

New ponies spotted by GoldenClopper in Singapore (we assume they'll be coming out in other places before Xmas). The pictures speak for themselves... click here (Arena). These are called Dress-up Daywear sets, Wing Wishes with Minty, Fluttershy, and Toola-Roola. The ponies come with cute little "wing wishes" costumes, which look like butterflies. Katieflutterby finds another new pony, Pretty Powder, who is a new so-soft baby pony (link to image).

Now to catch up on the news! ;) Ilfiorelaluna reports that the 80s MLP cartoon series to be released on DVD in early November will now contain the full 1st season, instead of 1/2 the season as earlier indicated. ACBWinter reports that this DVD set (region 1) will also be available in Canada. TRU 4-Pack and Avalonia hit Australia. MLPTP still resolving its board issues. Kcat finds a new value set at Kohls! It's the Bloomin' Blossom Shop and it comes with Gem Blossom, Sunset Sweety, Beebop, and Meadowbrook! (No indication if its exclusive or just got there first.) Also, MLPHunter spots the TRU exclusive 4-Pack on amazon.com. Now available for order.

Grayskyfilly and others report finding a new pony at KB Toys stores. The pony's name is Pepperberry (shown here). She is a single pony (normal size), but has unusual packaging, unlike most ponies, and retails at 2.99 USD.

Due to MLPTP's recent loss of gold status and the sudden attack of the popups (haha), I will start labeling links until the problem is resolved (as some people are trying to avoid the board due to the spyware damage it might inflict).

Some interesting news about Disney's Once Upon a Toy store (MLPTP)...apparently they will be opening a "build your own pony" station sometime in November (thanks, tymmorn).

Minty finds US Target exclusive 3-packs with free baby (Keen Bean and Pink Sunsparkle sets) at Loblaws in Canada (some exclusive items are distributed differently in other countries). Sayered finds new tiny tins on eBay. Set includes Fluttershy, Tink-a-tink-a-too, Sew-and-so, Daisyjo, Serendipity and Bumblesweet.

Marili shares details of new MLP toys in McDonald's Happy meals in Mexico, including Star Swirl, Winter Snow, Butterscotch, and Daisyjo. These are hard plastic ponies with hard, plastic tails, but soft hair in their manes. Baby Boomba spots a close up of Star Swirl (MLPTP). Peppermint Truly reports that these are also available in Argentina and Brazil.

Goddessofpeep finds new Toys R Us exclusive super long hair pony Sparklesnap in CA, USA.

Index updated. Shenanigans and Cherry Blossom spotted at Value City stores! :)

Updated Product Checklist, Watchlist (see links in box above). Now updating index.

Cherry Treats spots new pony info!  New products include: Shimmer Ponies, Beachwear sets, scooter sets, and more. No idea what "shimmer ponies" are yet and there are no pictures of this product yet (scheduled for release in October). There are four Shimmer Ponies: Fizzy Pop, Island Rainbow, Shell-belle, and Waterfire. Beachwear Dress-up include: Bumblesweet, Wysteria, and Cherry Blossom! So if you missed out on Cherry Blossom, now is your chance to get one. Not sure if she will be in a new pose or not, but at least you can still get the character. There is also some kind of Tea Set with Serendipity and a Purse with Strawberry Swirl. And new so-soft ponies (which we assume are the large baby ponies), which will apparently have new new dress-up sets. Ponies are Angel Dove and Junebug. The scooter sets include Scooter Sprite (originally seen in the Dancing in the Clouds video) and Breezie (who we think was listed twice in the TM registry, once as Breezy and once as Breezie).

In other news, Navymom02navy finds new Perfectly Pony ponies at Wal-Mart in California.
See pics w/backcards.

New TRU Exclusive 4 Pack found in British Colombia. This set is expected in the US and Australia (and probably other countries) very soon we hear.

Rainbowberry and Dream Blue
profiles updated (thanks GoldenClopper.)

New Super Long-Hairs, Dream Blue and Rainbowberry make their appearance on eBay! These are apparently out in Singapore (not other sightings yet, but are on our US list). Some site updates occurred over the past few days; some pages have been updated with new product. Product checklist and watchlist updated today, rearranged some 2004 product pages, updated the index, and still more updates pending on pony profiles (of course, that never changes, eh?). New pony slippers spotted at Kmart by NanielSpawnwalker. New giant pony puzzle found by Rebeldream.

Edit: Oops, I mean Dream Blue, not Blue Dream.
