Looks like they won't. They haven't made toys of other species since the movie came out.
They haven't made the legendary ponies despite focusing one seaaon and a couple of comics on them. Even their school set doesn't come with the students. On top of that, the Kirins don't come in fancy rainbow colors so it looks like they weren't meant to be toys.

I really hope this trend will change with G5.

As incredibly loathsome as I find all these non-pony things being included for the sake of “diversity”, the Kirin are actually...cute.  It helps tremendously that they have a pony base. It would have been neat for them to be brighter colors, but other than that, they’re really pretty.   That being said, I’m hoping they don’t try to introduce any more new species.

That's where the fandom steps in:

Wow, those cropped up fast! But they are so adorable and so well made! I would also really love to have Autumn. Usually blues and greys are my more my thing but she is just so adorable.
I'd love to see custom brushables of them! I'd love to try and make one myself but I don't feel I could pull it off very well. I'd also have to stew a bit on how to properly do their big manes.

Also that episode was very quick to get taken down! It appears to be gone, now.

I haven't watched FIM in a long time, but it popped up youtube and I watched parts of it.  I thought the Kirin were very pretty.  But, much of the magic of FIM is gone for me.  I don't hate it.  That would never happen.  I just can't get into it anymore.  It's weird.

Loved this episode! Kirin have long been around as a fan concept, it's amazing to see them as canon now. the episode plot was very good too, about how you can talk to people, get hurt or offended, but you should still communicate with people. Awesome episode!

Lol, now Ihave to work the Kirin into Dram Valley in my writing! ^^

I really did enjoy this episode. Possibly my favorite of season.   :)
If I had to nitpick, I think the whole subplot with them needing to find the Foal's Breath flowers was a rather superfluous. Maybe they could have dedicated a bit more time to Autumn trying to convince the others that sacrificing their voices and emotions isn't healthy, since it felt a little too easy in the actual story.

The darker part of me also kinda wanted to see Applejack and Fluttershy get dunked into the Stream of Silence and see how they overcome that, but that's just me.

Other than that, I thought it was a nice watch.
Also that creepy conductor pony at the end of the tracks was hilarious.  :lol:

And yes, brushables with all of those big fluffy manes would be the best!
(I'm not even a collector   ;) )
They: You're too old to watch that show!
Me: Can't hear ya, I'm asleep.

I think it's funny the Kirins had a Celestia. So the height of the princesses might mean something to ponies but kirins just grow big like that and don't give a damn. Rainshine had no royal title or anything.

Well, it’s stated she is the leader and seems to be pretty powerful since she made the river of silence.  Maybe there are so few of them that they just don’t feel the need for titles?

Or maybe they are just a more equally matched species in general and treat their leader like everyone else.
I also noticed that they don't have sexual dimorphism like the ponies. They all looked like the regular female pony model just with different eye shape designs and color schemes.

LOL someone made a video of everything Autumn said (minus the song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfQgLvtqQik
It just makes her even cuter somehow.

And have some art. Kirin have become a hit in the fandom:

The idea of Pinkie being able to burst into flames when she's mad is a little scary.
