I found it!! its a world's smallest set!

OMG omg omg I love the new plushies!! ;^; I managed to resist the first wave (or at least I have so far, if I find them on clearance then all bets are off ) but I NEED Applejack!!! I have a feeling Medley will be hard for me to pass up too!!

Something seems off about Twilight though.  Is it the streak in her hair?  It looks more pink than purple to me.

I thought she wasn't quite right, either - couldn't put my finger on why, exactly. I think it is the hair streak though.

I searched and the only other Twilight plushie I could find was apparently Butterick released a sewing pattern for her:

I think these are the first plushies ever of Applejack and Medley though.

Taffeta - I wondered if they were offloading the White Novas on us Brits, too. Especially if they're selling actual boxes of just her like you said. Hopefully that means she'll be easier to find over here *crosses fingers!*

[Taffeta]

Wait.
There is a Medley Plush?!

OMG.
OMG.
OMG.
OMG.

Literally the pony I most regret not getting made as a plush in the eighties, LOL

Everything aria_elwen said applies to me too. We were treated so badly in the early 1980s over those characters. Hopefully they show up here too soon. I don't know how I feel about Twilight, but AJ looks cool as well. But I will be happy just with Medley. I have Glory, Moondancer and Firefly, so it would feel more balanced with 2 pegasus ponies.

Also gonna keep an eye on amazon for the pearly set. Refuse to import it from the US.

[Ponybookworm]

Waiting patiently for all three plushies & the pearly set to come here & make it beyond Amazon... (or people who want to give me a Ponytastic festive gift know where to look there)
Meanwhile I bought the RAMC set!!! Five Little Diamonds ran out so I got from eBay for a reasonable price (just a few over the Five Little Diamonds price wi free postage so yaiy). The blind boxes are still very blind. Will I get blind or wait until more are opened so I can grab the ones I want??? Maybe a couple blind then seek out the rest on eBay opened...

[Taffeta]

The blind boxes have individual codes on them. I didn't notice this till after I bought them, got back to my hotel room and realised it *lol* so I ended up with doubles that I gave to my sister. But they do actually have numbers printed on the bottom that seem to correspond (based on mine) to the pony inside.

I have only seen them in person in that one shop in Epsom, and that's not exactly local to where I live now, so I haven't had a chance to get anymore. But I feel like these will be more widespread as the season goes on.

I do want the RamC set, but may ask for them for Christmas...since I always have trouble writing a Christmas list.

[Carrehz]

Ahhhh that's awesome that they have codes!!! I hope they show up near me soon, I'm dying to get my paws on them.

[SilverLinedStars]

Chiming in to say that I love that Medley plush. Definitely going to pick that up when it becomes available. I got Firefly not long ago and I really like her!

[StrawberryScoops]

I went to my local Toys R Us to see if I could find the pink stripe Nova and I did 😊

But in addition to that I’ve realized that they’ve changed Polaris as well. She’s darker now and her stripes show up more.

[Carrehz]

ohhh another variant?? :o Interesting

I found the Celestials and blind boxes (a full box of them!) at Forbidden Planet today! They only had one Nova so I snagged her, luckily she was the white stripe version! Definitely prefer this to the pink stripe ver.

I got one of each blind box, so here are the codes:

Here's where the code is, on the bottom of the box under the barcode. The code is 216231ZD, the number in bold (circled in the above image) is the one you need to pay attention to!

Codes:
1. Starflower
2. Cotton Candy
3. Gusty
4. Moondancer
5. Bubbles
6. Spike
7. Ember

So if you wanted Moondancer, for example, the code would be 216234ZD.

(I'll add a link to this post in the OP so it doesn't get lost in the thread)

Thanks to Taffeta for confirming these had codes to begin with I was speeding through the shop since it was close to closing time so knowing there WERE codes really saved me a lot of time.

[QueenNatalie]

Probably a stupid question, but were the Celestials ever found in major US stores or are they still pretty much just Amazon? Was hoping to ask for them for Christmas but getting nervous with all the talk of variants and would really like to see them in person...

[brightberry]

Carrehz, thank you for the codes! If I ever spot them in the wild, I'm going to try to find Spike.
