Chupa Chups

I know hathorcat has compared the blind bag ponies to kinder eggs before, so this should be right up her ally!  :silly: These little figures have apparently shown up in stores in Russia:

I hope these come to the US, but I believe that kinder eggs are illegal in the US :cry:(correct me if i'm wrong), even though I have found them in a candy shop is providence, rhode island. I need that luna figure! ^.^

Chupa Chups are awesome! They sell them in several Polish delis around here, although I'm not sure what country they originate from. I first had them in Poland when I was 9. They're yummy, often creamy, dessert-flavored lollipops. Although the picture here seems to be of Chupa Chups chocolate balls? I've never seen those before, but they look pretty neat. I always just thought they made only lollipops. xD

Look how cute they are! Also laughing at that Rarity/Fluttershy/Twilight hybrid vector popping out of the egg.

I didn't know Chupa Chups did chocolate! :blink: I've only ever seen the lollipops here in the UK.

I looked at the US and UK company websites and found no mention of chocolate. The Russian site lists them though (scroll through to find the MLP ones):

I did some quick research on and it looks like you can definitely only get them in Russia.

Okay scratch that. Visiting China and taking a fun train ride! hehe.

But no, seriously, those are really pretty molds on some of them! That Luna looks gorgeous, the Fluttershy is so pretty- and oh my gosh, a Shining armor? I'm die. Just, bleh. I need them so bad. I really hope there's a pony friend out in Russia willing to lend a hoof!

Why would they be illegal in the US?  But the US lets other things get away that should not be ok.......... oh well.

Those are very cute :)

Ah yeah, candy with toys inside are illegal in the US cuz of choking hazard. Customs and border patrol are actually VERY strict about letting any into the country, so no ordering them overseas D|

I'm hoping we're gonna get these, not sure if I could ship them with the chocolate around. But my brother wouldn't mind eating the chocolate  :P

Oh cool! LOL!! Love it!

I have seen these in an Eastern European store a couple of times but the ones I have seen are Disney Princess and Hello Kitty. They are exactly the same as Kinder [chocolate not as good :P] chocolate ball wrapped in tinfoil inside the ball is a little plastic case and inside that a leaflet and a toy. I hope they get MLP ones when I am next in the area. :)

Russia is Ferreros biggest market for Kinder Surprise so I guess the concept of this kind of sweetie is popular in there.

I love that all the ponies are in a rearing pose but I agree with PitterPatter Rainbow Dash's pose is killing me with giggles.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!

This is my best guess for what Rainbow is doing.

Some of the rearing poses do look a little silly, but I'll agree that it's nice they're rearing at all! We've got a perplexing preponderancy of simple four-leg facing-forwards standing poses of late.
