First, they’ve launched the My Little Pony Retro Rainbow Mane 6 pack, which includes 3-inch figures of Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy with colors and reimagined cutie marks inspired by character looks in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic – but with a classic ’80s style twist. Basically, it’s like modern My Little Pony characters have gone back in time. You can grab a copy on Amazon now (exclusive) for only $24.99 with shipping slated for September 1st. Below you’ll find the official description for the figure set along with details on the second big announcement…
