Look who has arrived in the UK :)
She is a whopping 50cm [20 inches] tall but essentially the same as those released in the US just double the size of the largest US version - you should be able to get her at Argos [and exclusive to Argos] within the next couple of days.

Oh wow, she looks adorable. Hoping they will make Rarity like that sooner or later.
Thanks for sharing!
-
I wish the US would get those large plushes.
-
No Rainbow or Twilight? I so want this! I have the small and medium sizes already.
-
The manufacturer confirmed only Pinkie in this size at the moment - I guess it depends on whether she is popular enough!
-
OMG thanks for sharing ! :D
I'll have to save for this one~ <3
-
That's so cute!
Will I resist her? *_*
-
Oh wow that is cute! I would love one if I had the room, but I already have one giant, and she takes up enough room lol
-
Ah, there she is! I prefer the medium size version myself.
-
I both want and don't want... *shrug* oh well, I'll probably never see her for sale in AUS :P
-
Oh man, I want that!!! :P
-
So, trade? :P
Seriously, anyone can pick up one for me? I pay by Paypal...
*looks around, then tries to PM a member he has traded with in the past*
-
Wow, an even bigger size! I wonder if I'll ever see any of these plush here...
-
Ahh I don't have the space but I'd make it, if I could get my hands on her!!
-
Looks like i'm going to have to find a UK buddy! :P Although I wish it was RD dash instead, as her plush looks best imo
-
It costs £24.99 - which is about $40 [ish] so she is rather expensive. She could also be a bit of a monster in shipping as there are limits on the size of international post from the UK. I am sure someone will be able to test out sizes as soon as she comes into stock.
-
So cute! I just found the medium size Walmart ones yesterday, so I'm hoping this comes to the US. Still not a fan of the hair, but I don't care. PONIES!
-
Aww! She's cute! I'd love a giant plush. Actually, I wish they'd make a Fluttershy plush in any size!

Well, I don't mind. I've bought bigger stuff from the UK *turns and look at three-and-a-half feet long Tescos rocking pegasus*. At worst, well, I arrange to have them shipped as a parcel :P
-
At least it's not Rainbow Dash, or else I'd NEED her...
-
Waaaaant, especially since it'd entail a visit to Argos, and Argos is awesome. Too bad my fiance doesn't have the luggage space to cram one in when he moves over here. Well, maybe we'll get them eventually.
-
Ahhh, so much pony! :P Thanks for sharing a picture, I hope I'll get a chance to find her from a UK seller at some point.
-
She'd be too expensive for me to get right now, but if they release her in the US, I'd definitely grab her. I already have the small and medium Pinkie Pie so I'd love the large one. I'd probably keep her on my bed. The medium one is almost big enough to cuddle with, but I want a bigger one. For now, though, medium Pinkie hangs out on my bed.
-
Big plush pony! I might buy one of these if they come over to a store in the states.
-
I see her on their website. Do they do international deliveries. I'm going to see if she comes to the states first, but just incase...
-
Finally, a plushie I actually want, and I can't even buy it. :( I hope she makes her way over to the US.
-
Need! I really hope this ends up coming to the US, international shipping for her would be murder.
-
I want her!! *whine*
-

They won't even deliver her to my UK VPost address iirc, because it was a business address. Well, it is the address of a forwarding company!
-
I hope we get her over here in that size! Giant plushies are my faves <3!! Still need the medium ones though ;-;
Thanks for sharing!
-
Awww not in the US :c now im sad...
-
Cool!
-
Maaaan if that was a fluttershy or Twilight Sparkle, I'd be all over it.
-
O^O... Gimme now!!!!!! Please, oh please be released in the states...
-
Oh wow! A giant Pinkie Pie! Sooo cute!!! I have the medium version & I love her.
I wonder if she does become available in the US if she'll be a Kmart exclusive?
-
I contacted them last night for us and here is what they said:
We are still finalizing our Spring 2013 sales and should know which retailers will be carrying the 20” My Little Pony assortment by the end of October beginning of November. Please note, we will announce the release of the 20” plush on our Facebook page and will indicate which retailers will be carrying the item as we get closer to their availability in stores.
-
This is awesome. I would love to see AppleJack with freckles in this size.
I could let her wear my cowboy hat so she would have a purpose and I could justify another giant pony in my home. :)
Funny, Equestria Daily did not report this? Hm...
-
I wish they would make the huge ones again!!!! :)

That sounds positive :)
They did confirm some time ago that the 20inch was for Argos only BUT no doubt now that other retailers perhaps see the success of the product, hopefully more of this size will get picked up globally and we ll see more than just Pinkie! Fantastic!
-
Well, I'm trying out one way to get the 20" Pinkie Pie from the UK. Not sure if it will work. But great if it shows up in the US I guess. Just need someone to pick up the US version of the set for me :P
I've used forwarding services to get stuff from the US and UK in the past- mostly vPost. However, Argos' strange address fields system (i.e. demanding a house number and name on a separate field, and then limiting the field to not support the amount of characters) means that vPost addresses won't work with it. I've found another forwarding service that seems to work with Argos' site tho. I'm trying them out now- will let you guys know if Pinkie arrived safely :P
-
I noticed her when I went to Argos last night :) Putting her straight on my birthday and xmas list...
-
Aww! She's cute! I'd love a giant plush. Actually, I wish they'd make a Fluttershy plush in any size!
The 5-inch and 10-inch Fluttershy plushies are supposed to come to Target and Walmart "Spring 2013" (so, March 2013?)

I only hope I can get my hands on Fluttershy. Technically, she's the reason I went active with MLP :P
Anyways, 20-inch Pinkie is on her way to Malaysia, but it still cost me a painful US$78 in forwarding fees alone! Using the Wanted forum to get a collaborator to pick up one for you and then shipping it to you after stuffing her into as small a box as possible (or un-stuffing her) is a better deal!
The method I used to attain mine's pretty straightforward- using a parcel forwarding service. Unfortunately not all of them works with Argos' weird Address fields system (i.e. house name, with the field severely limited to 20 or so characters). As it stands, the usual service I use doesn't work with Argos. So I had to dig deeper to find one that does. And boy, it's expensive as heck. My recommendation to members wishing to use this way to obtain international ponies? Dig even deeper, find several instead of stopping at one, and compare their charges before committing. 50 quids for a 20" package that barely weights a kilogram is just madness -.-
-
Update: Well, she arrived. The total cost however makes this feel like a Pyrrhic victory. Then again, they shipped her by DHL. DHL is always more expensive than International Parcel and EMS/International Express Mail.
-
Oh wow, she looks adorable. Hoping they will make Rarity like that sooner or later.
Thanks for sharing!
this
