I keep finding pony stuff this week
I so did not expect to see ponies at Peavey Mart when I went in to get bird seed, but there they were--a box of the small (5") size Funrise plushies, including Applejack, Rarity and Octavia! I haven't seen those three anywhere else yet, and I've been looking for Octavia for weeks. They are pricey for just being the small ones ($10.99 ugh) but I really wanted her, so I caved and now I can stop searching
So, just a heads-up for anyone looking for them for Christmas! The toy aisle was surprisingly big. No other pony stuff (edit: whoops, wait, there were some Equestria Girls!), but there were a fair number of Disney/Barbies and older Liv dolls, quite unexpected and fun
(Also, check out Canadian Tire too! They have tons of toys right now as well, including ponies, MH dolls, and Pinkie Cooper dolls!)
