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.
Chupa Chups are awesome! They sell them in several Polish delis around here, although I'm not sure what country they originate from.
Are those chocolate or candy?

Chupa Chups are original from Spain ^^ They where created in 1958 by Enric Bernat in Asturias, in the north of Spain. And Dalí created the logo.
Here ATM we don't have MLP Chupa Chups, although I'll keep an eye on them. What I have seen are Monster High Chupa Chups. But I don't think they come with dolls.
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! ^.^AH THESE LOOK AWESOME!!!
The company had to work through a number of limitations. This type of product hasn’t been legal in America since 1938, when the FDA banned manufacturers from placing inedible toys inside candy. Plus, the CPSC wants any embedded toy surprises to be safe for kids of all ages.
The original Kinder Surprises may be delightful, but they fail to pass both of these tests. Manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero, the toys inside Kinder Surprise eggs are only safe for kids ages 3 and up. Some of the toys come in small parts that need to be fitted together after they’re taken out of the egg. The CPSC believes these small parts could be choking hazards for younger kids.

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|So wait, these are illegal because of a choking hazard? That makes no sense when just about any toy one can think of that gets released in the US has a choking hazard and is perfectly legal.
These are so cute! I hope they come to the us.
Plus our stupid government is shut down at the moment so who's gonna check :hmm:

I am loving the idea you are going to use the Government shutdown to import vast quantities of Kinder Eggs. *images Rhini in Pink Panther like escapade in order to sneak in chocolate* :P

Seriously, I really hope no one would just shove the entire chocolate sphere into their mouth.

I always think this, and it sounds SO stupid, but that is honestly the reasoning. "What if some kid shoves the whole thing in their mouth because they don't know there's something inside and they choke on the capsule??" That's why only the ones where the plastic protrudes from the chocolate are legal here. I'm sorry, if you're buying a kinder surprise or similar product, you are getting it BECAUSE it has something inside. Every kid knows there's something inside there, they're not going to choke on it. *facepalm*Ah yeah, candy with toys inside are illegal in the US cuz of choking hazard.
